| Nagur | Hey, I haven't got time to chat with you. Talk to Kardif if you want information. | |
| Nagur | Man, just leave me alone, okay? | |
| Nagur | And don't think I don't recognize you just because you're wearing different togs! | |
| Nagur | (conspiratorially) You're about to stick your nose into things that are none of your business! | |
| Nagur | Get lost! | |
| Me | Kardif says you may have a job for me. | |
| Nagur | There ARE no jobs for monastery folk down here at the harbor! (laughs) | |
| Nagur | There ARE no jobs for the King's soldiers down here at the harbor. | |
| Nagur | (appraising) Well, well, so you're looking for a special job. Okay, but we play by my rules, understood? | |
| Me | What does that mean? | |
| Nagur | That means you do what I say and you get a third of the profits. | |
| Nagur | If you don't like it, then there's no job. | |
| Me | All right, you're the boss. | |
| Nagur | Good, then let me know when you're ready to rake in a heap of gold. | |
| Me | We're business partners, so it's fifty-fifty. | |
| Nagur | Okay, I thought I'd give it a shot. Of course we'll split our profits fairly. | |
| Me | All right, what's your plan? | |
| Nagur | You know the merchant Baltram, don't you? If not, it's time you talked to him. | |
| Nagur | This Baltram has a messenger who supplies him with goods from Akil's farm. | |
| Nagur | That is, he HAD a messenger, until I cut his throat. And now Baltram has to get a new one. And that will be you. | |
| Nagur | Your job is to get hired by Baltram and fetch the delivery from Akil. | |
| Nagur | You bring it to me and then I'll sell it to an interested customer. He'll fork over a tidy little sum for it. | |
| Nagur | And just don't try selling the stuff yourself. Have you got all that? | |
| Me | Where is Akil's farm? | |
| Nagur | Leave the city by the east gate, that's directly on the marketplace. | |
| Nagur | If you follow the road to the right, you'll soon come to a few steps cut into the rock. | |
| Nagur | Go up there and you'll come to Akil's farm. | |
| Me | How high will the profit be? | |
| Nagur | I can't say exactly. But I estimate about 400 gold pieces. | |
| Me | Where can I find Baltram? | |
| Nagur | He has his stand in the marketplace. | |
| Me | When should I talk to Baltram? | |
| Nagur | You can go right away. He should know by now that his messenger won't show up any more. (dirty laugh) | |
| Me | Well then, I'm all set. | |
| Nagur | Good, then get on your way - but if you try to cheat me, you'll soon be every bit as dead as the messenger! Don't forget it! | |
| Me | I brought the package. | |
| Nagur | Well done. I'll see to it that I sell it. Come back tomorrow. | |
| Me | Did you sell the wares, then? | |
| Nagur | Yeah, but for less than I thought. I only got 300 gold pieces. | |
| Nagur | Part of that goes to my employers ... | |
| Nagur | And Kardif gets his usual percentage - plus the gold for your commission. | |
| Nagur | Which leaves a total of 240 gold pieces. We'll split those as agreed. Here's your part. | |
| Nagur | You did good work. I've passed that on to my employers. | |
| Nagur | What comes of that is out of my hands. | |
| Nagur | No, not yet. These things take their time. I want to get a good price, after all. | |
| Me | Who are your employers? | |
| Nagur | You don't really think I'd tell you that, do you? | |
| Nagur | The job went well, but I don't talk about my employers. So stay cool. | |
| Nagur | You betrayed me! That was a big mistake - now piss off! | |
| Nagur | So you did it. Now you know who my employers are. | |
| Nagur | Stick to what Cassia tells you - we don't care who you are otherwise - you're one of us, and that's all that counts. | |
| Nagur | Look for someone else, there's enough people running around. I don't have anything else for you. | |
