Halvor

HeroTextAudio
HalvorHey, do you need fish? Get your fish here, fresh from the depths of the sea!
MeShow me your fish.
HalvorHey, if you want to buy fish, come to my booth tomorrow, OK?
MeCan you tell me something about those missing people?
HalvorMissing people? This is a harbor, pal. Things like that are bound to happen.
HalvorThe sea is treacherous, and bound to claim a life now and then.
HalvorCaptains of large vessels will always sign on new sailors in large seaports such as Khorinis to complete their crews.
HalvorAnd if they don't find any volunteers, some people may get dragged off against their will. And then they're gone.
MeDo you know of anyone who's missing?
HalvorNo idea. Ask the ship builders.
MeWhat ship would that have been?
HalvorGood question. Not many ships have come into Khorinis lately, that's true.
MeAre YOU missing someone?
HalvorMe? No.
MeI think this piece of paper belongs to you ...
HalvorWhat...? Let me see.
Halvor(sweating) Er... OK, let's stay calm about this - er ... listen. I have resold the goods I got from the bandits.
Halvor(hastily) But there's no reason to take this straight to the militia, right? I'm sure we can come to an understanding, can't we?
MeMake me an offer, then.
HalvorAll right. I'll tell you something. I can sell you more than just fish.
HalvorIf you hand me this ridiculous piece of paper and, er ... forget about the matter, you and I can become the best of trading partners.
MeLooks like it's the slammer for you.
HalvorNo, wait, you can't do that! After all, I'm nothing but ... you know ... small fry.
MeYou should have thought of that sooner. Now I'm going to report you to Lord Andre.
HalvorYou'll regret this.
MeOh really? What kind of goods would those be?
HalvorWell, I could offer you ... quite special fish, you see. Not just plain ones for eating.
MeYou mean like the one that contained your hidden message?
HalvorYou've got it. I have several of those ... fish.
MeAll right, it's a deal. I think we can keep this little matter between ourselves.
HalvorThank you. Just drop in the next time you happen to be in the vicinity. I'm bound to have some interesting things for you.
HalvorI see. You haven't come just to buy fish.
Halvor(quietly) I'll make you an offer. If you have any silver plates or chalices - I'll take them for a good price.
HalvorFor all your stuff, I'll give you ...
HalvorYou brought too much stuff. I can't give you that much gold all at once.
HalvorCome back when you have some silver plates or chalices.
HalvorYou can get rid of your silver here tomorrow. Today's too early.
HalvorSorry, no more business for today. Come back tomorrow, OK?
MeAll right, sold.
HalvorWe've made some good deals today. Better not come back until tomorrow, or somebody might get suspicious, you see?
MeI'm looking for a crew.
HalvorBut how are you planning to leave here?
MeThat's my own business.
HalvorSuit yourself. It's none of my business, really.
MeI'm going to appropriate a ship.
HalvorYeah right. Are you for real? The paladins will make short work of you, when they get hold of you.
HalvorSuit yourself - it's not my life you're risking.
MeWanna come along?
HalvorNaah, I think not. I've plenty to do here and, honestly, I have no desire to encounter a slave galley full of orcs.
HalvorBut I wish you lots of luck.
MeCan you help me?
HalvorI'm not the right person for that. But go talk to Jack, he should be hanging out here somewhere in the harbor. He'll know best what you need to make that journey.
