Farm implements look rusty and broken. Brush and weeds seem to be reclaiming some of the outermost fields. str_village_alt_prosperity_40|The fields and orchards are busy, with villagers engaged in the tasks of the seasons.

Many of the canals are clogged with silt, and the wells and cisterns are filled with sand. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_40|Men and women are busy tending the palm groves, climbing to the tops of trees to pollinate the fruit. Healthy animals draw the pumps and wheels that bring water to the fields. Some of the irrigation canals and cisterns, however, could use some maintenance. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_60|The palm groves and orchards are humming with activity. Farmers call to each other cheerfully from the tops of the trees, where they pollinate the date fruit. The creak of wooden pumps, the bellowing of draft animals, and the rush of flowing water speak of an irrigation system that is thriving under the villagers' attention. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_80|The palm groves are humming with activity, as farmers load up a bumper crop of dates for sale to the market.

Are you by any chance looking for some help? str_npc1_intro_response_1|Services? str_npc2_intro_response_1|Your last five francs? What happened to you? str_npc3_intro_response_1|Hello. What's a clearly well-brought up young lady like you doing in a place like this? str_npc4_intro_response_1|Say, aren't you that bloke that saved Wellesley's life? str_npc5_intro_response_1|Certainly. With whom do I have the pleasure of drinking? str_npc6_intro_response_1|Ah, an old jack-tar, are we? str_npc7_intro_response_1|My apologies. I was merely going to say that you look a bit down on your luck. str_npc8_intro_response_1|Merely to pass the time of day, ma'am, if you're not otherwise engaged. str_npc9_intro_response_1|You must have me confused with the tavernkeep, sir. str_npc10_intro_response_1|Why do you say that, sir? str_npc11_intro_response_1|What's the occasion? str_npc12_intro_response_1|Excuse me? str_npc13_intro_response_1|Um... I don't think so. str_npc14_intro_response_1|To pass the time of day with a fellow traveller, if you permit. str_npc15_intro_response_1|I am. What concern is it of your, may I ask? str_npc16_intro_response_1|I could be. What's your story? str_npc1_intro_response_2|I think not. str_npc2_intro_response_2|I have better things to do. str_npc3_intro_response_2|Run along now, girl. I have work to do. str_npc4_intro_response_2|Nothing, you old drunk. str_npc5_intro_response_2|I have no time for that. str_npc6_intro_response_2|Go lubb some land. str_npc7_intro_response_2|Right. I'll not bother you, then. str_npc8_intro_response_2|Nothing at all, from one so clearly disinclined to pleasantries. Good day to you. str_npc9_intro_response_2|Fetch it yourself! str_npc10_intro_response_2|That's rebel talk, and I'll hear none of it. Good day to you. str_npc11_intro_response_2|I think not, madame. str_npc12_intro_response_2|I'd sock you were I not a gentleman. str_npc13_intro_response_2|No, and I can't say that I much want to make your acquaintance. str_npc14_intro_response_2|Nothing at all. My apologies. str_npc15_intro_response_2|I'd be obliged if you minded your own business, sir. str_npc16_intro_response_2|Mind your own business, lass. str_npc1_backstory_a|You see, I specialise in the arts of reconnaissance and espionage. str_npc2_backstory_a|It's a tragic tale, sir. str_npc3_backstory_a|A good question, and I shall tell you! str_npc4_backstory_a|Really? Well, perhaps your ignorance can be forgiven. Our ancestral lands are far away, over the mountains. str_npc5_backstory_a|I am Baheshtur, son of Azabei, grandson of Badzan. Were you not a barbarian, you would likely know from my lineage that I am a Roan Horse Khergit of the highlands, of the tribe of Shamir, of the clan of Dulam, of the family of Ubayn, from the Pantash valley, and you might be able to guess why I am so far from home. str_npc6_backstory_a|Aye, I am, and one that's got the devil to pay, at that. str_npc7_backstory_a|My luck? You could say that. str_npc8_backstory_a|Ah. Well, if you must know, I shall tell you. str_npc9_backstory_a|My most humble apologies. It is sometimes hard to recognize folk amid the smoke and gloom here. I still cannot believe that I must make my home in such a place. str_npc10_backstory_a|It's a long story, but if you get yourself a drink, I'll be glad to tell it. str_npc11_backstory_a|Why, I managed to sell my wagon and pots, {lad/lass}. For once I've got money to spend and I intend to make the best of it. str_npc12_backstory_a|I do apologise, I am simply not accustomed to associating with 'people' of your..err..means. The name's George Leslie Donnell, but the chaps call me 'Dandy' on the count of my impeccable style. Actually, you look like the sort of person that might be able to help me out of my predicament. str_npc13_backstory_a|You have not? Then perhaps you will have heard of my steed, who cuts across the Calradian plains like a beam of moonlight? Or of my sword, a connoisseur of the blood of the highest-born princes of the land? str_npc14_backstory_a|Very well. I do not mind. My name is Lazalit. str_npc15_backstory_a|I'm an engineer, specialized in the art of fortification. If you need a wall knocked down, I can do that, given enough time. If you need a wall built back up, I can do that too, although it will take longer and cost you more. And you can't cut costs, either, unless you want your new edifice coming down underneath you, as someone around here has just found out. str_npc16_backstory_a|Well, {sir/madame}, as long as I can remember I've had a weakness for pretty things, and it's gotten me into trouble, you see. str_npc1_backstory_b|I arrived {s19}in {s20} on the orders of a client for the purpose of gathering... shall we call it 'information'? A series of unfortunate and unavoidable events, however, have left me in the rather untowards position of being unemployed and without pay. str_npc2_backstory_b|A while back, I left Geroia with a caravan of goods. I was hoping to sell it all in Sargoth and make a hefty sum. But, what do you know... we were ambushed by a party of Khergit raiders who rode away with most of the horses and goods. And two days later, my own caravan guards ran away with the rest of what I had. str_npc3_backstory_b|My father, a well-known merchant {s19}in {s20}, decided that I should be married to one of his business partners, a man well past the age of 30. I have been an obedient daughter all of my life, but it was a ridiculous and horrid proposition. So I ran away! str_npc4_backstory_b|Like all the men of my family, I have come to a foreign land to make a name for myself in the profession of arms before returning home to take over custodianship of my estates. Unfortunately, the authorities in these lands have little understanding of the warrior code, and have chosen to call me a bandit and brigand, and put a price on my head -- a most unfair libel to throw at a gentleman adventurer, you will surely agree. str_npc5_backstory_b|For as long as any one can remember, our people have feuded with the tribe of Humyan, many of whom have settled in the next valley over. Many men have died in this feud, on both sides, including two of my brothers. The Khan himself has ordered us to cease, to save men for the wars in Calradia. But I know my rights, and my brothers' blood cries out for vengeance. I waylaid and killed a Humyan on a track over the mountains, and I rode out of our village the same night, without even having had the chance to bid farewell to my father. I will bide my time in Calradia, for a year or two, then return home when the Khan's men have forgotten. The Humyan will not forget, of course, but such is the price of honour. str_npc6_backstory_b|Ye see, I was serving as the boatswain on a navy sloop. Life was hard aboard our vessel, but send me to the devil if it ain't the life I love. That is until this spat of wars made life that much tougher on us. It got to the point where me and the crew had had enough of navy life, so we expressed our displeasure with the ship's captain by dropping him and his lackeys on some uncharted island and commiting ourselves to using the ship for a better purpose. str_npc7_backstory_b|It was my bad luck to be born to a weak father who married me off to a drunken layabout who beat me. It was my bad luck, when I ran away from my husband, to be taken by a group of bandits. It was my bad luck that the only one among them who was kind to me, who taught me to hunt and to fight, inspired the jealousy of the others, who knifed him and forced me to run away again. str_npc8_backstory_b|I am from an old family in the northern lands, the daughter of a thane and also wife to one. I fought by my husband's side, his partner both in war and in peace. But my husband died of the plague, when I was still childless. My husband had decreed that I should inherit his lands, in the absence of an heir. My brother-in-law, cursed be his name, said that it was not our custom that women could inherit a thanedom. That was nonsense, but his gold bought the loyalties of enough of my husband's faithless servants for him to install himself in my hall. So I fled, something I was raised never to do, and something I hope never to do again. str_npc9_backstory_b|I was my father's first son, and his heir. But my mother died, and my father remarried. His new wife thought that her son should inherit. She could not move against me openly, but the other day I fed a pot of suet that had been left out for me to one of my hounds, and it keeled over. I accused my stepmother, but my father, befuddled by her witchcraft, refused to believe me and ordered me to leave his sight. str_npc10_backstory_b|A sergeant I was, in the garrison {s19} at {s20}. Twenty years I stood guard for the city, taking many a hard knock in many a tough fight, until they appointed a snot-nosed, downy-lipped princeling, barely out of his mother's cradle, as commander of the garrison. He came upon me standing watch atop the tower, with my crossbow unstrung -- on account of the rain, you see... Can't have the cord loosen... But Little Prince Snot-Nose tells me that an unstrung bow is dereliction of duty. Says he'll have me horsewhipped. And something in me snapped. So I walked off my post. str_npc11_backstory_b|For 30 years I followed the armies of this land, selling them victuals and drink, watching their games of dice and finding them girls, and nary a denar was left in my purse at the end. str_npc12_backstory_b|Let me explain. I'm quite the hotshot at White's, which is a gentleman's club I'm certain you're not familiar with. At least, I was until recently. You see, one of our primary pastimes at the club is gambling. We bet on all sorts of things and it's hardly cricket to turn down a fair wager when presented with it. So, when a rather distinguished hussar captain bet me a sizable amount that Bonaparte would soon be turned back in Spain I countered with a bet that the Tyrant would hold Cadiz by the first of this April. A sure thing, I thought, after all he'd sweep through the Spaniards like a sickle through wheat. str_npc13_backstory_b|I am a warrior by profession. But perhaps you may also have heard of my prowess as a poet, who can move the iciest of maidens to swoon. Or of my prowess in the art of the bedchamber, in which I must confess a modest degree of skill. I confess a modest affection for Calradia, and for the past several years have visited its towns, castles, and villages, making the most of my talents. str_npc14_backstory_b|I am the second son of the count of Geroia, of whom you have no doubt heard. Having no inheritance of my own, I came here to seek my fortune in Calradia, training men in the art of battle. Unfortunately, the lord here in {s20} has no taste for the disciplinary methods needed to turn rabble into soldiers. I told him it was wiser to flog them now, then bury them later. But he would not listen, and I was told to take my services elsewhere. str_npc15_backstory_b|The castellan {s19}in {s20} wanted a new tower added to the wall. Trouble is, he ran out of cash halfway through the process, before I could complete the supports. I told him that it would collapse, and it did. Unfortunately he was standing on it, at the time. The new castellan didn't feel like honouring his predecessor's debts and implied that I might find myself charged with murder if I push the point. str_npc16_backstory_b|I grew up in Malayurg castle as a bonded servant, working alongside my mother in the kitchens. I would amuse myself by hunting mice through the pantries and sculleries. I was so good at it that I put the castle cats out of a job, and eventually the lord realized that I might also be employed to track down bigger game, on certain errands of a type perhaps better left unsaid. Needless to say, I found a number of opportunities to avail myself of trinkets that had formerly belonged to my lord's enemies. So I was able to buy myself out of bondage, and find hire as a free agent. My last job was {s19}in {s20}. str_npc1_backstory_c|But I have no doubt that someone of your sort would benefit from my services. str_npc2_backstory_c|So here I am, no money and no way home. str_npc3_backstory_c|I shall marry whom I want, when I want. Moreover, regardless of what my father might think, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I was thinking that I should perhaps join a band of gypsies, or perhaps a troop of mercenaries! str_npc4_backstory_c|But I am anxious to avoid any further trouble, so if you knew of any company of fighting men where I might enlist, I would be most grateful. str_npc5_backstory_c|In the meantime, any opportunities to earn a living with my sword would be most welcome. str_npc6_backstory_c|Alas, some o' them navy boys caught up with us and we had nary a choice to but dive overboard and swim for dear life. Now I'm without a ship or a crew and liable to be impressed back into the service. str_npc7_backstory_c|But I do not count myself unlucky, stranger, no more than any other woman of Calradia, this fetid backwater, this dungheap among the nations, populated by apes and jackals. str_npc8_backstory_c|When I have enough gold to raise an army I shall go back and take what it is mine. str_npc9_backstory_c|I hope to offer my sword to some worthy captain, as it is the only honourable profession for a man of my birth apart from owning land, but in the meantime I am condemned to make my bed among thieves, vagabonds, merchants, and the other riff-raff of the road. str_npc10_backstory_c|Now I'm here getting drunk, and the Devil take tomorrow. str_npc11_backstory_c|It's no kind of life, victualling the armies. You earn a bit here and a bit there as the soldiers spend their money, and then along comes one defeat and you have to start over, endebting yourself to buy a new wagon and new oxen. So I've decided to get out of the business, but army life is all I know. str_npc12_backstory_c|As it happens, the bet was a poor one and I then found myself in considerable debt and unable to pay. I had no choice but to tip him the double and go into hiding. He's got bruisers after me, though, and I've no choice but to continue running. Perhaps I should try blending into an outfit like yours until the bet's forgotten or, I pray, the hussar is killed by the frogs. str_npc13_backstory_c|Which reminds me -- somewhere out there in the city is a rather irate husband. I don't suppose you might consider helping me leave town? str_npc14_backstory_c|So, if you know of any commander who believes that his purpose is to win battles, rather than pamper his soldiers, I would be pleased if you directed me to him. str_npc15_backstory_c|More fool me for having taken the contract without an advance, I suppose, but the end of it all is that I'm in a difficult spot, with the roads full of bandits and no money to pay for an escort. So I'd be much obliged if a well-armed party heading out in the next few days could take me along. str_npc16_backstory_c|Unfortunately, my last employer's wife had a lovely amulet, of a kind I simply could not resist. She doesn't know it's missing, yet, but she might soon. So tell me, are you looking for helpers? str_npc1_backstory_later|You again? Have you come about my services? str_npc2_backstory_later|I sold my boots and have managed to make a few francs peddling goods from town to town, but it's a hard living. str_npc3_backstory_later|I hired myself on as a cook for some passing caravans, and that at least keeps me fed. But it is rough company on the road, and I grow weary of fighting off guards and others who would try to take liberties. I was thinking that if I could find work as a warrior, men would know to leave me alone. str_npc4_backstory_later|I went back to my ancestral barony, to inspect my lands. But we had locusts, you see, and bad rains, and other things, so here I am again, looking for work. str_npc5_backstory_later|I've been wandering through this war-torn land, looking for a leader who is worth following. str_npc6_backstory_later|I've been here and there lookin' fer a crew that can use an old seadog like myself. str_npc7_backstory_later|I have been wandering, looking for work as a tracker, but it has not been easy. Calradians are mostly ill-bred, lice-ridden, and ignorant, and it is not easy to work with such people. str_npc8_backstory_later|I am still seeking a war leader in whose shield wall I would fight. But I need gold, and fast, and the lords of this land as often as not prefer to stay behind the walls of their fortresses, rather march out to where glory and riches can be won. str_npc9_backstory_later|I've offered my sword to a few lords in these parts. But I find as often as not they'll ask me to run messages, or train peasants, or some other job not fit for a gentleman. str_npc10_backstory_later|I don't know if I told you or not, but I deserted my unit after I struck a young noble who had ordered me to be horsewhipped without cause. Since then I've been laying low. Thankfully I had the wit to pilfer my captain's purse before heading out, but the money is running low. str_npc11_backstory_later|I've been around and about. But it's a rare captain who'll take on an old bag of bones like me as a fighter, even if I could whip half the boys in his outfit. str_npc12_backstory_later|I'm no soldier, I grant you that, but I've a pistol to hand and have popped a few blokes with it in my day. I've also many connections among those of the Beau Monde, as we say. My expert eye could perhaps help improve the appearance of your ragged band, as well, though I doubt you've the capital to keep up with myself. str_npc13_backstory_later|I have been wandering through the cities of Calradia, leaving a string of love-sick women and cuckolded husbands in my wake. But I grow weary of such simple challenges, and had been thinking of turning myself to more martial pastimes. str_npc14_backstory_later|I have gone from court to court, but I have not yet found a lord who is to my liking. str_npc15_backstory_later|I've been going from castle to castle, looking to see if walls or towers need repair. But either the lord's away, or he's got other things on his mind, or I run into his creditors on the street, begging for change, and I realize that here's one job not to take. So if you hear of anything, let me know. str_npc16_backstory_later|I do the odd job from time to time. But there's naught like steady employment, and a regular run of corpses to loot. str_npc1_backstory_response_1|Perhaps. Assuming you can provide more than arrogance. str_npc2_backstory_response_1|Well, perhaps I could offer you work. Can you fight? str_npc3_backstory_response_1|Well, as it happens I run a company of mercenaries. str_npc4_backstory_response_1|I run such a company, and might be able to hire an extra hand. str_npc5_backstory_response_1|That's the spirit! I might be able to offer you something. str_npc6_backstory_response_1|I'm sure my company could use an old salt like yourself. str_npc7_backstory_response_1|Hmm... Are you by any chance looking for work? str_npc8_backstory_response_1|I can offer you opportunities to make money through good honest fighting and pillaging. str_npc9_backstory_response_1|Perhaps you would like to join my company for a while. str_npc10_backstory_response_1|If you're looking for work, I can use experienced fighters. str_npc11_backstory_response_1|What will you do 2017-03-12 (日) 16 13 32 str_npc12_backstory_response_1|I guess we could use an extra hand, even if it is an incredibly dainty one. How's your cooking? str_npc13_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use an extra sword in my company. str_npc14_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use you in my company. str_npc15_backstory_response_1|Where do you need to go? str_npc16_backstory_response_1|I might be. What can you do? str_npc1_backstory_response_2|I require no services from self-important spies. str_npc2_backstory_response_2|Hard luck, friend. Good day to you. str_npc3_backstory_response_2|Go back to your family, lass. Fathers must always be obeyed. str_npc4_backstory_response_2|No, sorry, I haven't heard of one. str_npc5_backstory_response_2|Sigh.. So long as you hill clans fight tribe against tribe, you will remain a silly, weak people. str_npc6_backstory_response_2|I'll have no dealings with a mutinous pirate! str_npc7_backstory_response_2|Actually, I'm rather fond of the place. Good day to you. str_npc8_backstory_response_2|Your brother-in-law was right -- women should not rule. Go back home and tend your hearth. str_npc9_backstory_response_2|Some of my best friends are riff-raff. Good day to you, sir. str_npc10_backstory_response_2|No doubt you'll wake up with your head in a noose, and you'll deserve it. Good day. str_npc11_backstory_response_2|Very interesting, madame, but I have work to do. str_npc12_backstory_response_2|What use have we for a London pimp? str_npc13_backstory_response_2|No, sorry. Nothing I can do for you. str_npc14_backstory_response_2|I'll let you know if I hear of anything. Good day. str_npc15_backstory_response_2|Sorry. I've got all the men that I can manage right now. str_npc16_backstory_response_2|Sorry, lass. You sound like you might be trouble. str_npc1_signup|During the Revolution, I trained under Fouche, the Assembly's spymaster. Since then I have trained my skills in information gathering around the continent. str_npc2_signup|Well, I will confess that I am not a warrior by trade. str_npc3_signup|Do you? Well, I am in no position to be picky! I would be pleased to join you. str_npc4_signup|Good! I look forward to vanquishing your enemies. str_npc5_signup|Why, that is a most generous offer. str_npc6_signup|Aye! I'm filled to the gunwhale with gratitude. Let's weigh anchor and pray never to see a south-wind in our glasses! str_npc7_signup|I might be. I could certainly use the money. str_npc8_signup|Can you? I shall accept your offer. str_npc9_signup|I would very much like that, {sir/madame} str_npc10_signup|Are you, 2017-03-12 (日) 16 13 32 Well, that's a sight better than swinging from a gibbet for desertion. str_npc11_signup|Why, I'll be a soldier myself! Help my old hands to a bit of loot to comfort me in my retirement. Two boys I bore, both soldiers' brats, and they became soldiers themselves. One had his head split by a Khergit war club, the other died of the pox, but at least they didn't die hungry. str_npc12_signup|As I told you, I am a surgeon, not some silk-robed university physician who has never touched a body. I can get my hands dirty. str_npc13_signup|Indeed? You would do well to enlist me. str_npc14_signup|I would be pleased to ride with you, at least for a little while, for pay and a share of any loot. str_npc15_signup|Geroia, eventually, but I'd welcome the opportunity to get a few francs in my pocket, first, so I don't come home empty handed. So if you promise me food and a share of the loot, I'd be happy to fight with you for a while. str_npc16_signup|Well, {sir/madame}, let me tell you. I may not know how to read and write, but I know the quickest way to a man's heart is between his fourth and fifth rib, if you understand me. str_npc1_signup_2|There is no one better at tracking people and things than myself. And having travelled the Occident extensively, I know the terrain in every country in Europe. str_npc2_signup_2|I'm a fast learner. I can ride, and know a fair bit about trade, prices and such. str_npc3_signup_2|I think you would find I would be a most valuable addition to your ranks. I am well versed in the classics of literature and can declaim several of the epic poems of my people. I play the lute and am a skilled manager of household servants. str_npc4_signup_2|Note however that as a gentleman and the holder of a barony, I expect to be in a position of command, and not be treated as one of the common soldiers. str_npc5_signup_2|I shall not betray you -- so long, of course, as you do your duty to me by feeding me, paying me, and not dragging my miserable hide into a battle where there is no chance of winning. Hand me some salt, if you will -- it is the custom of our people to take salt from our captains, as a token of their concern for our well-being. str_npc6_signup_2|You'll soon find I ain't halfways bad with me cutlass, and have got Dutch courage to last me. If we find ourselves on a ship ye ain't likely to find someone better than I when I've got the con. str_npc7_signup_2|But let your followers know that I do not suffer louts and brutes. Anyone who misbehaves around me will quickly find an arrow in their gullet. str_npc8_signup_2|I shall be pleased to fight in your shield wall. But I warn you -- if you ask me to gather the firewood, or cook a meal, you will not like the consequences. str_npc9_signup_2|I am a gentleman, and prefer to fight with sword and lance. I recognize that you are of lower birth than I, there is no shame for me to serve under an experienced captain -- presuming, of course, that your followers do not become too familiar with me. I assume that will not be a problem? str_npc10_signup_2|You won't regret taking me on, {Brother/Sister}. I'm a dead eye with a crossbow -- a beautiful weapon, it can right punch through a nobleman's armour and spill his blue blood upon the ground. And I've trained more raw recruits than you've had hot dinners, begging your pardon. I don't toadie to the high-born. str_npc11_signup_2|I know how to swing a blade, staunch a wound, and feed an army on the march. It would be a foolish captain who passed up the opportunity to hire an experienced campaigner like me! Say, {laddie/lassie}, don't you command a war party of your own, 2017-03-12 (日) 16 13 32 str_npc12_signup_2|I have treated every variety of wound that can be inflicted by the hand of man. Before I was a surgeon, I was a student, so you may be sure that I have inflicted wounds as well as healed them. str_npc13_signup_2|Sword, lance, the bow -- my skill in all such martial pursuits is the stuff of epic verse. Together we will perform such feats as will be recounted in festivals and campfires, in filthy taverns and in the halls of kings, for many generations to come. str_npc14_signup_2|I am a skilled swordsman, and I can also instruct your men in fighting. But I warn you that I do not care to fight for a leader who is lax in discipline with {his/her} men, for in the long run they will not respect a soft hand. str_npc15_signup_2|Siegework is my speciality, although I reckon can handle myself well enough in an open battle, if need be. str_npc16_signup_2|I can throw knives, in addition to stabbing with them, and I'm slippery as quicksilver. You'll find me useful in a fight, I'll warrant. str_npc1_signup_response_1|Good. You can be useful to us. str_npc2_signup_response_1|That will do. str_npc3_signup_response_1|Um, that's a start. We can teach you the rest. str_npc4_signup_response_1|Very well. I'll be glad to have you with us, um, 'Baron.' str_npc5_signup_response_1|Certainly. Here, have some salt. str_npc6_signup_response_1|Welcome aboard, captain. If I had a ship I'd pipe the side. str_npc7_signup_response_1|I will hire you. Try not to shoot anyone on your first day. str_npc8_signup_response_1|No fear, ma'am. You're the widow and the daughter of a thane, and you'll be treated as such. str_npc9_signup_response_1|Well, it shouldn't be. I'll have a talk with them. str_npc10_signup_response_1|Good man. We'll treat you with the respect you deserve. str_npc11_signup_response_1|It sounds like you'll be useful. You are hired. str_npc12_signup_response_1|Then welcome to our company, doctor str_npc13_signup_response_1|Good. Make yourself ready, and we'll be on our way. str_npc14_signup_response_1|Good. I'll be happy to hire someone like you. str_npc15_signup_response_1|That works for me. I will be pleased to hire you. str_npc16_signup_response_1|It sounds like you can do the job. I will hire you. str_npc1_signup_response_2|I can handle such matters myself. Good day, sir. str_npc2_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I'm only looking for men with some experience. Good day to you. str_npc3_signup_response_2|Actually, we were looking for a slightly different skill-set. str_npc4_signup_response_2|Actually, we are not in the habit of hiring bandits with invented pedigrees. Good day, sir. str_npc5_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, I prefer to keep more civilized company. str_npc6_signup_response_2|Now that I think about it, maybe a crazy old pirate isn't what we need. str_npc7_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, you sound like you might be trouble. Good day to you. str_npc8_signup_response_2|Ah. Actually, if you don't do whatever I order you to do, you'd best seek your fortune elsewhere. str_npc9_signup_response_2|You assume wrong, sir. In my company we respect courage and skill, rather than noble birth. str_npc10_signup_response_2|On second thought, we value discipline pretty highly in our company. Good day to you. str_npc11_signup_response_2|Sorry, madame. We've already got as many in our company as we can handle. str_npc12_signup_response_2|A battle is not the same thing as a tavern brawl. Perhaps you should look elsewhere for work. str_npc13_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, a fighter overeager for glory is dangerous to have in one's company. str_npc14_signup_response_2|Actually, I have no wish to provoke a mutiny in my ranks. Good day, sir. str_npc15_signup_response_2|Actually, I need a different kind of expertise. My apologies. str_npc16_signup_response_2|To be honest, I'd prefer someone who was a little less tempted to larceny. str_npc1_payment|I will be very useful to you, {sir/madame}. Now there is only the matter of pay; as my previous employ ended poorly, I find myself without money and will require an advance of {reg3} francs for my services. Whatever position I find myself in, I would refuse to work without being sure to gain from it. str_npc4_payment|Excellent. Before we depart, would you be so kind to lend me {reg3} francs? I had to pawn a family heirloom at a pawnbroker here in {s20}, and I would like to retrieve it before we leave. str_npc5_payment|Thank you. Now, to seal off our agreement, I ask for {reg3} francs from you. It's an advice my father gave me. He told me 'Baheshtur, never fight for a barbarian before {he/she} pays you your worth of gold first'. str_npc7_payment|All right then. I will come with you. But I want a payment of {reg3} francs first. You aren't expecting me to work for free, do you? str_npc8_payment|Then I will fight your enemies for you. But first I want a bounty of {reg3} francs. If you are a worthy captain who can lead {his/her} company to riches and plunder, you should have no trouble paying. I cannot afford to follow a pauper. str_npc9_payment|That's very good of you. And before I join, can you lend me {reg3} francs, so that I can buy some proper clothing that befits a gentleman of noble birth such as myself. The coat on me has been worn down badly due to my recent bad fortune, and I cannot let common soldiers mistake me as one of their own. str_npc10_payment|That's good news. But I'll ask for one last thing, captain. I have a woman here in {s20}, a tavern wench, and she says she has my child in her belly. I want to give her some money before I leave... for the child, you know. Do you think you can spare {reg3} francs? str_npc11_payment|Hey thank you captain. But before joining up with you, I would ask for a payment of {reg3} francs. I know that in war parties soldiers can go on for weeks without seeing any wages. I am wise enough not to sign anywhere without having myself covered. str_npc13_payment|Before I sign up, there is the small matter of some expenses I have incurred while staying here -- {reg3} francs. Do you think that you could cover those for me, as a gesture of friendship? str_npc14_payment|Ah, one last thing. I would ask for an initial bounty of {reg3} francs before I join your command. It's my principle never to enter someone's service without receiving the payment I deserve. str_npc15_payment|Good. By the way, as a skilled engineer I would expect a payment for my services. A signing bonus of {reg3} francs would be fair, I think. str_npc16_payment|Now, that's good news, captain. So, how about paying me a little something to seal off our agreement? A mere {reg3} would be enough. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I've had some bad luck with employers in the past. str_npc1_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} francs. Now, kindly fall in. str_npc4_payment_response|Certainly. Here's {reg3} francs. str_npc5_payment_response|Well... here's {reg3} francs, then. Your first payment. str_npc7_payment_response|No, of course not. Here's {reg3} francs. str_npc8_payment_response|Oh, I am no pauper, madame. Here's {reg3} francs for you. str_npc9_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} francs. str_npc10_payment_response|Of course. Here, {reg3} francs. str_npc11_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} francs. Make yourself ready. We leave soon. str_npc13_payment_response|Of course, here's {reg3} francs. Make ready to leave soon. str_npc14_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} francs. You are most welcome in our company. str_npc15_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} francs. Glad to have you with us. str_npc16_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} francs for you. Make yourself ready. str_npc1_morality_speech|Oy -- boss. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's a hard life and it's a bit much that we {s21}. Take a little more care in the future, captain, if you don't mind my saying. str_npc2_morality_speech|I hope you don't mind my saying so, but it's a bit hard for me to see us {s21}. Maybe I ought to try to be more of a hardened soldier, but if we could try to exercise a little mercy from time to time, I'd sleep better. str_npc3_morality_speech|Perhaps it is not my place to say so, {sir/madame}, but I confess that I am somewhat shocked that we {s21}. Of course I realize that war is cruel, but there is no need to make it more cruel than necessary. str_npc4_morality_speech|Your pardon -- just so you know, the men of the House of Rolf do not care to {s21}. I will not be pleased if you continue to take this course. str_npc5_morality_speech|Pardon me, captain. It is not good to {s21}. Your first duty is to the men who have taken your salt. The least they can expect is food, pay, the opportunity to loot, and that you not waste their lives needlessly. str_npc6_morality_speech|Excuse me, {sir/madame}. As you know, I joined with you to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and make amends for my sin. I did not expect to {s21}. str_npc7_morality_speech|Captain -- I do not like to see us {s21}. Such are the actions of a common bandit chief, with no regard for his followers. str_npc8_morality_speech|I was not pleased that you decided to {s21}. To fall in battle is an honour, but to fight in a warband led by a coward is a disgrace. str_npc9_morality_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- it is not my way to {s21}. Men of my house will accept death but not dishonour. Please do not make me ashamed to serve under you. str_npc10_morality_speech|Begging your pardon, captain. I can't say that I'm happy to see us {s21}. Those are just simple people, trying to make a living. If we could try to go easy on the poor wretches, captain, I'd feel much better. str_npc11_morality_speech|Excuse me, captain. It's not good that we {s21}. I've followed armies and warbands for 30 years, and the least the soldiers expect of a leader is to feed them, pay them, and do {his/her} best to keep their sorry skins intact as best {he/she} can. str_npc12_morality_speech|Captain -- I do not like to see us {s21}. I am prepared to be a warrior, but not a brigand. Pray let us try to show a little more compassion. str_npc13_morality_speech|Captain, if we can avoid it, I'd prefer not to {s21}. Calradia is a small place, and one's reputation is precious. I would not care for one of my rivals to include this latest unfortunate incident in a satirical verse. str_npc14_morality_speech|I do not care to {s21}. No one with a reputation for cowardice will be properly feared by his men. str_npc15_morality_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- just so you know my opinion, any commander with sense will not let his company {s21}.I hope you don't mind me speaking so bluntly. str_npc16_morality_speech|Captain. I don't like to {s21}. So many throats left uncut, and so many purses left unexplored... str_npc1_2ary_morality_speech|Boss -- just so you know, I've got no problem if we {s21}. Living to fight another day makes good sense to me. str_npc2_2ary_morality_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- I'm not altogether happy that we {s21}. I'm a merchant, and in our business one is bonded by one's word. I don't want a reputation for dishonesty -- that would spell my end as a trader, {sir/madame}. str_npc3_2ary_morality_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- I think it was a brave decision you took to {s21}. There is no shame in finding a way to avoid the spilling of blood. str_npc4_2ary_morality_speech|Your pardon -- whatever anyone else says, I think nothing of it that you {s21}. You should adopt whatever ruse you need to survive in these troubled times. str_npc6_2ary_morality_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- you may choose to {s21}, but would prefer to have no part in it. Such is not the path to my redemption. str_npc9_2ary_morality_speech|Captain, I am dismayed that you {s21}. A {gentleman/gentlewoman} such as yourself should exhibit the highest standards of honour at all times. str_npc10_2ary_morality_speech|{Brother/Sister} -- I can't say I like to see us {s21}. You should treat your men well, and they'll repay with interest. str_npc14_2ary_morality_speech|Captain -- you should not let it bother you that you {s21}. Armies are made to do their leaders' bidding, and hardships are part of a soldier's life. str_npc15_2ary_morality_speech|You know, friend {playername}, it's none too reassuring to see how you just {s21}. If you can break your word to them, you can break your word to me, is how I figure it. str_npc16_2ary_morality_speech|Captain -- just so you know, it's no problem by me that we {s21}. We do what we need to do to live, and they'd do the same to us if they were in our shoes. str_npc1_personalityclash_speech|Captain -- no offense, but I'm a bit tired of {s11}, who puts on airs like she's something better than your humble servant Borcha. str_npc2_personalityclash_speech|{Sir/Madame} -- as you recall I was a merchant before I signed on with you. I respect men who make their living peacefully, risking all to bring goods for far away lands. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech|Captain -- in my opinion, {s11} is a hard and cruel man. He speaks of nothing but the need to flog, beat, and hang his fellow soldiers. str_npc4_personalityclash_speech|{Sir/Madame}. The House of Rolf is one of the most ancient and respected families in this part of the world, with a provenance dating back to the Old Calradic Empire. Yet {s11} openly shows me disrespect, and casts doubt on the provenance of my house. str_npc5_personalityclash_speech|A moment of your time, captain. {s11} seems to think me a common bandit, just because I have rewarded myself in the past to the legitimate spoils of war from caravans passing through my family's lands. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech|Your pardon, {sir/madame}, but I cannot keep my tongue stilled any longer. That harlot, {s11} -- every time she sees me she points the five fingers of her hand at me -- a peasant's sign to ward off evil. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech|Captain, I have done my best to put up with your followers' rude talk and filthy habits. But that one who calls himself {s11} is beyond tolerance. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech|Just so you know, I cannot abide that insolent mountebank {s11}. Some minutes ago, I was remarking to our companions how the peasants of this region were more than usually slack-jawed and beetle-browed, and speculated that perhaps they had bred with apes. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech|Sir -- {s11} is a base braggart, a man with no respect for the honour of women. I am tired of hearing how he conquered this or that damsel. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. I hate to trouble you with such things, but I just wanted to let you know that I can't abide that fellow Rolf, the one who calls himself a baron. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech|Begging your pardon, captain, but I can't keep silent. That man, {s11} -- he killed his own brother. str_npc12_personalityclash_speech|My lord. The barbarian woman, {s11}, complained of headaches -- a possible symptom of excess of sanguinity. I thought to apply my leeches. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech|Captain, I weary of {s11}, who talks of nothing but chivalry and feats of arms. str_npc14_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. A few minutes ago, I had expressed the opinion that liberal use of the lash and occasional use of the gallows is essential to keep soldiers in line. Men without a healthy fear of their commanders are more likely to run from battle. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me. I hope you don't mind me telling you that in my opinion, that girl {s11} is a danger to the party. She's a feral brat, disrespectful of authority and the basic principles of the military art. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech|Oy, captain. Just so you know -- there's something funny about {s11}. He makes strange scrawlings in the dirt, and mutters to himself. str_npc1_personalityclash_speech_b|She's a common bandit, just like myself, and she has no right to tell me to keep my distance from her, as she did just now. str_npc2_personalityclash_speech_b|I don't much care to hear {s11} gloat about the caravans he has looted, or he plans to loot, like he has no respect for good honest trade. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech_b|I know that an army is not a nursery, and that strong discipline is important, but I do believe that man enjoys cruelty for cruelty's sake. I hope you do not mind me saying so. str_npc4_personalityclash_speech_b|{Sir/madame}, these are indeed sorry days if common folk are allowed to mock their betters. That is all. str_npc5_personalityclash_speech_b|I told him that if the warrior's way bothers him so much, that he become a priest or a beggar and so not have to worry about such things. I hope you do not mind that I said such things. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech_b|I know the crime I committed was an abomination, but I am seeking repentance, and I deserve better than to be the object of some witch's superstition. I just thought you should know. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech_b|I do not care for how he stares at me around the campfire after a meal, as he picks his teeth. I believe I recognize him from my days as a bandit. He is base and ignorant. I do not care to travel with such people. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech_b|{s11}, that font of impudence, overheard me, and called me ignorant, and a savage, and other words I do not care to repeat. It was only out of respect for you that I refrained from cutting his throat then and there. I thought it only fit that I should warn you. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech_b|If he persists, I shall tell him that he is a base varlot, and if it comes to blows I will not apologize. That is all, {sir/madame}. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech_b|He's just a simple brigand, as far as I can tell. House of Rolf, my arse. Genuine blue-bloods are bad enough, but those who pretend to be blue-bloods are bloody intolerable. Anyway, I might have said something a bit sharp to him a minute ago. He seemed to take offense, anyway. I just thought you should know. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech_b|He's a kinslayer, cursed by heaven, and he'll bring misfortune and sorrow upon us, that's for certain. I don't like being around him and I don't think he should be with us. That's all. Sorry for troubling you. str_npc12_personalityclash_speech_b|But when I tried to afix them, she recoiled and struck me, and accused me of witchcraft. Captain, I am deeply tired of attending to the complaints of such an ungrateful and ignorant lot. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech_b|Valorous deeds are all very well, but they are not the only goals worth pursuing in life. Personally, I never trust any man who has not at least once woken up drunk in a ditch, or been beaten by the slipper of his lover. str_npc14_personalityclash_speech_b|That chit {s11} saw fit to admonish me for this. I will not have my methods questioned in front of the men, and I will not serve any commander who tolerates such insubordination in his company. Thank you for allowing me to speak my peace. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech_b|What's more, I suspect she's a thief. I found her going through my baggage and pawing some of my schematics, and she pulled a knife on me when I thought fit to object. A wise captain would not allow her in his company. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech_b|Fearing witchcraft, I asked him about it, and he told me that a chit of a girl like myself should mind her own business. So I had a look in his baggage, and found strange plans and diagrams. I think he's a sorceror, {sir/madame}, and if I catch him trying to hex me he'll have a knife in his throat. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech|Oy -- boss, I don't fancy myself a sensitive soul, but I don't particularly like how {s11} went about cutting the throats of the enemy wounded, back there. str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech|{Sir/Madame}. If you don't mind, I'd prefer not to be deployed anywhere near {s11}, after what he said to me during that last battle. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech|{Sir/Madame}. Since I have joined your company, I have tried hard to learn how to live like a soldier, and how to honour the warrior's code. If I occasionally make mistakes, I would hope to be forgiven. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech|{Sir/Madame}. I happened to exchange a few words with {s11} as we were dividing up the spoils of battle. Please inform her that when she speaks to me, she should call me 'Baron' or perhaps 'Baron Rolf,' or 'Your Grace,' but certainly not just 'Rolf.' str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. {s11} needs to have her tongue cut out. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech|My lord. Did you see {s11} during that last battle? He taunts the fallen foe as they lay stricken and helpless on the battlefield, mocking their parentage, their foolishness for having fought us. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech|Captain -- I have been searching my mind trying to remember where I have seen {s11}, the one who calls himself a baron. As I watched him in action during that last battle, I suddenly remembered. He is a good fighter, but also a vicious one. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. {s11} is a most insolent girl. I have tried to be polite, even friendly, only to have her rebuff me. str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech|{Sir/My lady}, I hope you do not mind me telling you this, but in my opinion {s11}, the merchant, does not know his place. During that last battle, he cut in front of me to engage a foe whom I had marked for my own. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech|{Brother/Sister} -- a question for you. Are you in charge of this company, or is it {s11}? str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. I don't much care for that {s11}. After that last battle, he went around muttering some heathen incantation, as he went through the slain looking for loot. str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech|Captain. I can no longer abide the rank ignorance of {s11}. As I was treating the wounded during our last battle, he saw fit to disparage my use of laudanum in relieving the pain while I conducted surgery, and of treating wounds with a poultice of honey. str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech|Hello, captain! {s11} is a temperamental one, isn't he? During that last battle, I was merely having a friendly chat with our foes about their mothers as we exchanged swordblows, and it caused him to throw a fit! str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech|Sir. {s11} is incorrigibly indisciplined. During that skirmish, I called out to him that he should hold ranks with the rest of our battle array. He called back to me that I should 'get stuffed.' str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech|Captain -- I must tell you that I question {s11}'s medical credentials. As he was tending to our wounded after that last battle, I saw fit to remind him that the peerless Galerian often advocated administering a distillation of beetroot, to restore the humor imbalance brought by loss of sanguinity. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech|Beg your pardon, {sir/ma'am}. {s11} might have been a very good thief, but he's not got the stomach to be a warrior, if you ask me. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech_b|The way she whistles cheerfully as she does it -- it puts a chill down my spine, it does. str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech_b|The enemy was bearing down on us, and he says, 'Step aside, merchant, this is knight's work.' Next time I will step aside, and let him take a spear in the gut. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last victory I was picking through the slain, and availed myself of one of our foe's purses. No sooner had I done so then {s11} came up behind me and struck it from my hands, saying that it was she who had made the kill, and thus she deserved the spoils. My lord, I could not tell in the heat of battle who had struck whom. If {s11} had simply told me that she deserved the purse, I would gladly have given it to her. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech_b|I am of noble blood, and she is of the basest birth. She must remember her place. str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech_b|When the loot was piled up after the last battle, I found among the enemy's baggage a very decent cooking pot. Often I had wished to find such a pot, so I could boil some of the stews that my people use to warm their bellies during the winter months. But {s11} grabs the pot, and tells me that I will not be allowed to 'taint' it with heathen food, and that it should properly belong to her. I yielded the pot to her, but I will not tolerate such disrespect in the future. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech_b|My lord -- such hubris will not be overlooked by Heaven, and I fear we shall all of us pay the price. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech_b|Back when I lived in the ravines, we would sometimes fight with a rival band called the Brethen of the Woods. Captain -- I would not trust any man who hides his origins, and particularly would not trust a common bandit who calls himself a lord. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech_b|As we were cleaning our weapons after that last battle, I remarked that I thought her a handsome girl, and after I regained my lands I would happily find her a match with one of my warriors. I thought it was a very generous offer, as a woman disinherited by her father is hardly going to find herself awash in prospects. But rather than thank me, she simply turned her back without a word. It was only out of respect for your leadership that I did not immediately try to teach her some manners. str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech_b|I appreciate that he is willing to risk his life in battle, but that alone does not make a gentleman. He is not of noble birth, and his family's wealth comes from commerce and usury. He may fight with us as an auxiliary, but should not attempt to steal glory from his betters. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech_b|In that last battle he was shouting at me 'Go forward, go back, hold the line.' When I told him to mind his own trimming he said he'd have me flogged. Captain, that man is looking for a crossbow bolt in his chest, begging your pardon. str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech_b|He said it was a prayer of thanksgiving for victory, but it didn't sound like that to me. Captain, I don't want him raising up the ghosts of the dead to make trouble for us on our travels. I think you had best be rid of him str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech_b|Captain, if that man knew the slightest thing about medical matters, he would know that one should never undermine a patient's confidence in his doctor, particularly not during a complicated operation. If you would be kind enough to dismiss him from this company, you would be doing all of us a great service. str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech_b|When all the dust settled, {s11} turned on me and told me not to 'tempt the wrath of the Heavens' with my 'hubris.' I responded that at least I hadn't killed my own brother, which I think bothers the Heavens a lot more than battlefield small talk. {s11} turns red like a baboon's arse and would have struck me had I not artfully dodged out of his away. Tell him to lighten up, will you? str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech_b|{Sir/Madame}, such defiance of proper authority is a corrosive influence on our company, and I shall have him flogged if he does so again. str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech_b|{s11} responded that Galenian was an 'antiquated know-nothing.' Captain, no true doctor would have such disrespect for the great masters of the past. I do not believe you should employ such an obvious impostor. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last scrap, I was slicing open the guts of some our foes to check for hidden gold, as a girl who counts her pennies ought. He gagged and muttered that I was an 'animal.' I'll inspect his innards for contraband if he doesn't keep a civil tongue in his head. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech|Boss. {s11} back there didn't do badly in that last fight at all. He's a good egg, too. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech|{Sir/Madame}. I just wanted to tell you that {s11} may be a rough sort, and I'll venture a thoroughgoing rogue as well, but I'm proud to call him my companion. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech|Hello, {sir/madame}! I had just wanted to tell you that {s11} is a most gallant knight. Did you see him in our last battle? str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech|Excuse me, {sir/madame}. I just wanted to say a word in praise of {s11}. He did well in that last battle. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech|That was a fine battle, {playername} Bahadur! {s11} is a good man to have by our side in a fight. str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. Sometimes I am troubled by all this bloodshed, although I know that proud warlords must be humbled, and cruel bandits tamed, if we are to restore peace to Calradia. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. I was just talking to {s11}. She may be a bit savage, but I believe that she is a faithful friend. str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech|A fine battle that was, captain. And I have to say, I admire the taunts that {s11} hurled at our enemy. str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. {s11} acquitted herself well in that fight back there. A fine, modest maiden she is, if I dare say so myself. str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech|Ahoy, Brother! I wish you joy of your victory! Say, old Mother {s11}'s not bad in a scrap, is she, for a woman of her years? Although I'm getting to be a bit of an old dog myself, now. str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech|Ach, captain! A fight like that one sets my old joints a-creaking. Still, we licked them pretty good, didn't we? str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech|A bloody business, captain, a bloody business -- although a necessary one, of course. {s11}, I believe, shares my ambivalence about this constant fighting. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech|You have earned your name today, oh valorous one! And {s11}, too! I like that one. She sings the songs of her people as she goes into battle, which appeals to an artistic soul like my own. str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. It is a pleasure going into battle with men like {s11} by my side. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. I was just having a word with {s11} after our last battle, and it strikes me that the man has got a good head on his shoulders. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech|Oy -- captain. I was just having a chat with {s11}, as we picked through the bodies after our last little scrap. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech_b|Without good honest souls like him to bring silver into Calradia, scoundrels like me would have a hard time in life, I'll warrant. I'm glad to have him with us. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech_b|Based on how he did in that last fight, I'd say that I'd trust my back to him any day, although I'd still keep a hand on my purse. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech_b|I also confess that I find him a truly delightful companion, a man of both wit and manners. Perhaps, perhaps... Ah, but I say too much. Good day, {sir/madame}. str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech_b|You chose well to enlist him in our company. He knows a thing or two about a fight, and also knows the importance of respecting his comrades-in-arms, unlike some others I might mention. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech_b|As for his other attributes, I doubt that he is any more a Baron than I am, but I have to admire the brazen way he makes that claim. str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech_b|I must say that {s11} is a source of great comfort to me. I have told him of my sin, and he said to me that Heaven will forgive my transgression, if I truly repent and truly desire such forgiveness. He is wise, and I am glad that he is with us. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech_b|At some point in the future, if you have no need of our services, she has promised to go back to the ravines with me and find the bandits who murdered my lover, and help me take my revenge. It was a kind offer. I am glad that she is with us. str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech_b|He managed to include their geneology, their appearance, and their eating habits in a well-framed Old Calradic quatrain. I personally prefer the saga, but we Nords respect poetic craftwork when we hear it. str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech_b|Were she of noble blood, I might ask for her hand. It is a pity that she is a merchant's daughter. But speaking with her is a pleasant way to pass time on the march. str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech_b|Heh. It just goes to show that youth ain't everything, that experience also wins battles. I reckon she and I could teach the young puppies of the world a thing or two, couldn't we? str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech_b|Old {s11} in particular showed them a thing or two, I thought. Not bad for the pair of us, I thought, given that between us we've probably seen close to a hundred winters. str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech_b|It saddens him deeply to take the lives of his fellow men, however just the cause. He and I have talked together of a brighter future, of the need to unite these petty warring kingdoms of Calradia, so that we may bring this time of troubles to an end. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech_b|Also, although I normally prefer the coy to the Amazonesque, I confess that I have also noticed the femininity she tries to hide beneath her martial demeanour. True, she is a bit aloof on the march and in camp, but perhaps my fair words can melt the Nordic ice around her heart. str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech_b|He is a professional soldier, and though he may not be as fast on his feet as some others, he knows the wisdom of holding together in a disciplined battle-line. You showed good sense in bringing him into this company. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech_b|War, like any other affair, requires careful planning and preparation, and a firm grasp of strategic principals. All other things being equal, the best trained army will win the battle, an observation that I think our last fight bears out. The men may curse him now, but they'll learn to thank him, I'll warrant. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech_b|Have you heard her story? Can you believe the wrongs done to her? I tell you, it makes my blood boil. I want to cut off all the little bits of those bastards who mistreated her -- and I'll do it, too, if we ever run into them in our travels. str_npc1_retirement_speech|I'm a bit tired of marching up and down the land, shedding my blood for someone else's cause. The loot is good, but I think I've got enough of that, now. I'm going to head back to my village, take a wife, settle down, maybe raise horses if I can afford it. str_npc2_retirement_speech|I'm getting a bit tired of the warrior's life. I'm going to invest my share of our loot into a cargo of goods -- furs, linens, velvets, probably -- and take them back over the mountains. I would like to thank you again for taking me on, and wish you the best of luck. str_npc3_retirement_speech|I am afraid I have something to tell you. I have decided that the warrior's life is not for me. I think it is probably too late for me to find a good marriage -- no one of my people would take a wife who had served with a company of soldiers -- but I may have enough money to start myself up as a merchant. I hope you will not be angry, {sir/madame}. str_npc4_retirement_speech|I have fought with you honourably, as befits a son of the House of Rolf, but I am not altogether satisfied with your leadership. I will go home to my ancestral estates, which are much in need of my services. str_npc5_retirement_speech|Bahadur -- since I have taken your salt, I have fought for you fiercely, and loyally. But you have not always repayed my service with the kind of leadership that I deserve. So I am going home, in the hope that the Khan's men have forgotten me, to see my father and brothers again. str_npc6_retirement_speech|I joined this company in the hope that you would lead me out of darkness, and indeed I have found a measure of peace here. But I have some qualms about your leadership, and have begun to suspect that the path to redemption can be found elsewhere. str_npc7_retirement_speech|I am tired of this squalid life of endless warfare, seeing men debased by fear, greed, lust, and a hundred other sins. I have money in my purse. I am going overseas to look for a better land than Calradia. I assume that you will fare well without me. str_npc8_retirement_speech|I have fought in your shield wall, and done well by it. But your leadership is not always to my liking, and anyways I have another task. I will take what plunder I have won and raise a warband of my own and sail to Nordland to take back my husband's hall from my treacherous brother-in-law. I wish you well. str_npc9_retirement_speech|We have fought well together, and earned ourselves much glory. But I have some reservations about your leadership, and at any rate have my patrimony to reclaim. I will be leaving you. Perhaps we will meet again. str_npc10_retirement_speech|I've had enough of tromping up and down the length and breadth of Calradia. I've got enough to buy a small bit of land somewhere, so I think I'll give that a try. So long, and best of luck to you. str_npc11_retirement_speech|You did an old woman a great service by taking her into your company. But I'm afraid I'm finding this life no more to my liking than driving a wagon. Too much cold, too much hunger, and at the end all I see in front of me is a hole in the ground. So I'll be off, although I don't know where. str_npc12_retirement_speech|I've done all right in your company. I filled my belly, put some gold in my purse, and broadened my knowledge of wounds and injury -- I can't complain about that! But I think right now that service in this company is holding me back. I have a duty to share my findings with other surgeons, and for that I need to hire scribes, who are rare in Calradia. I shall be going home str_npc13_retirement_speech|As the luster of your name grows ever brighter, I fear that my own reputation will seem pale in comparison, as the moon is outshined by the sun. I have decided to strike out on my own. The very best of luck to you! str_npc14_retirement_speech|I would like to inform you that I wish to sever our relationship. I intend to seek alternative employment. str_npc15_retirement_speech|I appreciate that you took me on, but I'm not altogether happy about how things have worked out. I'm going to head off elsewhere -- maybe go home, maybe find another job, I haven't quite decided yet. str_npc16_retirement_speech|I've had good times in this company, and I've found myself a pretty trinket or two on the battlefield, but right now it isn't working out. I'm leaving you to go offer my talents to someone else. str_npc1_rehire_speech|Boss -- it's good to see you again. I know we had our differences in the past, but to tell you the truth, those were some of the best days I've known. And, to tell you the truth, I've had a bit of difficulty finding work. Listen, if you'd be willing to have me back, I'd be willing to sign up with your company again. str_npc2_rehire_speech|{Sir/Madame}! It's good to see you again. But I'll confess -- I've been looking for you. I bought a load of goods like I told you I would, loaded them up, and took them back across the steppe -- but wouldn't you know it, I was hit again by Khergits, and lost it all. I guess I'm just destined to fight for my fortune. Also, people tell me that you've done very well for yourself. So tell me, {sir/madame}, would you have me back? str_npc3_rehire_speech|Well, hello {sir/madame}! It is very good to see you again. I have not fared so well since we parted, I am afraid. My mother's family. whom I hoped would give me a start in trading, have not been as welcoming as I have hoped. I receive nothing but lectures from my aunts, on how I have ruined my prospects for marriage by taking service in a mercenary company. Perhaps I am better suited to war than to commerce, to share a meal over a campfire with rough fellows than to drink wine with the burghers of Veluca. {Sir/Madame}, I must ask you -- will you take me back? str_npc4_rehire_speech|Why hello, captain. It's been a while. You've done well for yourself, I hear. For my part, I've been having some difficulties coaxing a living from my estates -- locusts, bad rains, unruly serfs, that sort of thing. I thought I might take up the sword once more. I know there's been some bad blood between us, but I'd be honoured to fight in your ranks once again. str_npc5_rehire_speech|{playername} Bahadur! Your fame grows ever greater -- even as far as my homeland, beyond the mountains. I'd returned there, hoping that the Khan's men had forgotten. Well, they had not -- even before I set foot in my valley, I had word from my family that both the Khan and the Humyan were looking for me. So I came back again, hoping you might forget any harsh words I had spoken, to see if I could fight with you once again. str_npc6_rehire_speech|It is good to see you, {sir/madame}. Everywhere I go, men are in awe of your deeds. I have not had it so well since I left. Wherever I go, I feel my demons returning. My soul is in turmoil. For reasons that I cannot fully explain, I had found peace in your company, even if I had questions about your leadership. Will you allow me to serve with you once again? str_npc7_rehire_speech|Captain! It is good to see you. Forgive what I may have said when we parted. I took a ship out of Wercheg, bound for the east, but it was taken by pirates and after my ransom I was set ashore back here. There may be better places in the world than Calradia, but I have yet to see them. So I think, if it is my lot to live here, then your company is as good a livelihood as any. Will you have me back? str_npc8_rehire_speech|Greetings to you, {playername}. I was wondering if the harsh words spoken between us in the past could be forgotten. I have been hunting among the Nords here, to see if I could find enough men to take back my husband's hall. But I could not find enough men to crew a longship, and those whom I gathered quickly got bored and wandered off -- not, I will add, before they drank away such gold as I had accumulated. So I thought back to the battles we fought together. Those were good days, and profitable ones too. str_npc9_rehire_speech|My dear, dear {man/lady}! So good it is to see you! I have sought service with the lords of this land, but have been most grieviously disappointed. Half of them ask me to collect debts from fellow lords, as though I were a banker's errand boy, or chase down his serfs, as though I were a farm overseer. One even asked me to murder one of his creditors! I have looked for you, to see if you would wish me to join you again. str_npc10_rehire_speech|Captain! It's good to see you. You see, it turns out I'm not much of a farmer. Too soft on the hired hands, I figure. I let them rob me blind. I guess fighting is what I know best. So tell me, captain, are you still looking for good men? str_npc11_rehire_speech|Captain! So good to see you! People say that you've been making gold hand over foot. I'm a fidgety old bag of bones, I'll admit. I left you because I wasn't satisfied with the warrior's life, but I spend a bit of time in town and I realize that there are worse things in life than a full belly, honest companions, and the joy of seeing the enemy run before you. So, would you be hiring again str_npc12_rehire_speech|Captain! It's a fine thing to see an honest face like yours. This world is full of lies. I went home to publish my findings, hired some scribes and made a handful of codices, and waited for the commissions. But it turns out that the universities don't care about real medical knowledge rather than warmed-over Galerian. And publishers -- let me tell you, you never saw anyone so unscrupulous. They rent the books out chapter to by chapter to students to copy, but half of them aren't returned, and those that are have pages soaked in wine, and there's no longer a complete copy of my work anywhere. I'll keep trying, but first I need a bit of money in my pocket, first. Are you looking for a surgeon? str_npc13_rehire_speech|Well hello there, oh valorous one. I had been hoping to see you again. Everywhere I go, I hear tales and songs of your deeds. I will admit that I felt a twinge of regret that we had parted ways, and, I'll confess, a twinge of jealousy as well at your reputation. I thought that once again I might fight by your side, and thus bask in the reflection of your glory. Perhaps we might ride together again, for a little while? str_npc14_rehire_speech|Captain. It is good to see you. When last we parted, I was ready to swear that I would not serve you again, but perhaps I judged you too harshly. All over Calradia, men sing your praises. I have tried serving in other lords' armies, and believe me, what I have seen of them restores my opinion of your leadership. If you would have me in your company, I would fight for you again. str_npc15_rehire_speech|Why hello, {playername}. I can't say I'm entirely displeased to see you. You see, I took on another contract before I left, and sure enough, when it came time to collect the pay, the lord had nothing but talk and excuses and petty little complaints about my handiwork. I can't say I was always happy in your company, but at least I put gold directly into my purse after every battle. You still offering work? str_npc16_rehire_speech|Captain! They say that you've done well for yourself since we last met. I'll come out and admit that I cursed your name when we parted ways, but thinking back on it you weren't all that bad. All these lords, they're glad enough to send me on little side errands, but they don't much care to have me in their main battle-line. Apparently I spook the men. I've heard it muttered that I'm a witch, or that I eat men's hearts after killing them, or other rot. Not that I mind stabbing a man while he's asleep, but it's a lot more gratifying when he's awake and kicking. So I thought I'd try to find you again, see if you'll take me on. str_npc1_home_intro|Boss -- did you know that I was born around here, in the high steppe? This is where I got my eye for horseflesh, because this is good land for horses, although a hard land for men. I suppose that's why the Khergits like it. str_npc2_home_intro|We're approaching Sargoth. That's where I was headed when the Khergits got me. str_npc3_home_intro|Can you smell that? Lemon trees, apples and crocus flowers, it's the scent of Veluca. I spent many a happy summer here when I was a girl, playing in the gardens of my mother's family while my father was away trading. str_npc4_home_intro|The Woods of Ehlerdah. Bah. This place is thick with bandits and outlaws. str_npc5_home_intro|Bahadur, we are nearing Halmar, largest town in the lower steppe. My mother's sister went here to marry a townsman and I thought to seek service with the lord here. That is when I ran into you. str_npc6_home_intro|I can see by the vines and terraces on the hillside that I am near home. I have no wish to see my family, so I will linger outside the walls if you go into town. I am sure that you will understand. str_npc7_home_intro|Do you smell that? Salt fish, rotting flax and river mud. The smells of my childhood. I want to retch. str_npc8_home_intro|Hmf. Do you hear that? It must be the crash of waves on the headland. We must be near Gundig's Point. str_npc9_home_intro|Behold the Rock of Rivacheg! The strongest fortress in Calradia. My father was one of those who held the line here against the Nords, when they first tried to push inland from the coast. str_npc10_home_intro|D'you smell that fresh air, Brother? This was my home, before I went abroad in search of coin. It's good to be up in the hills again. It's the smell of freedom. This is the cradle of Rhodok liberty, here under Grunwalder Castle str_npc11_home_intro|I see the mountains. We must be getting near home. str_npc12_home_intro|We're passing by the site of one of my greatest medical triumphs, if that interests you. str_npc13_home_intro|Ah, Castle Ergellon! Such a lovely spot, at the foot of the Rhodok highlands. Such happy days I spent here, the summer before last. str_npc14_home_intro|Do you see that fortress up there, on the spur over the valley? Ismirala? I spent a winter there some years back, trying to train the lord's men. str_npc15_home_intro|You see that castle up on the hill? Culmarr Castle, it's called. I did some work there, not long ago. It's not as showy as some of the other castles in this land, but it's the finest stonework you ever saw. str_npc16_home_intro|Aye, captain, do you see those? Those are hare tracks in the snow. We must be getting near to my birthplace. str_npc1_home_description|Well, Khergits always lived here, even back in the old days, as the Emperor gave them gold and lands to keep out the other tribes. I'm told my grandfather was a Khergit chieftain, although my mother didn't know him, any more than I knew my father. When my mother was a lass, the Khergit started coming over the mountains in larger numbers, and now there's a Khergit Khan in Tulga. str_npc2_home_description|People say that the Nords are a bunch of bloodthirsty barbarians, but they have a good head for trade, if you ask me. They make the people up and down the coast grow flax, which they weave here into linen. It can't compete with Jelkala silks and velvets as a luxury fabric, but it makes good summertime wear and you can use it for the sails of ships. More importantly, linen was one of the few goods that someone else in Calradia wasn't already making. str_npc3_home_description|Veluca has wet winters and hot summers, but the people here build great cisterns to water their crops. They grow grapes -- Velucan wine is famous, {sir/madame} -- and those who can afford it make walled gardens, where fruit trees grow in abundance, and we sit at night listening to music, or playing chess, or merely sniff the night air. str_npc4_home_description|Well, you see, the King of Swadia declared this to be his personal hunting preserve, and said he'd kill any man who as much as strung his bow here. So what happens? Some family goes hungry, and succumbs to the temptation to poach, and the king's sheriff comes along and strings him up and takes his land. His sons, rather than starve, go bandit. And so naturally anyone in the whole valley who feels the need to run away from a debt or a nagging wife or a vengeful noble comes up here to join them, living on wild pigs and berries and the purses of unwary travellers. str_npc5_home_description|Khergits had always come here, to trade and raid, and in the last days of the Empire we began to settle. Just like the Vaegirs, Swadians, Rhodoks, Nords and the House of Sarran, we took the Emperor's coin to keep the other tribes at bay. But when the Great Horde attacked our homeland in my grandfather's day, we moved into this region in force. We pushed the Vaegirs back, and made their fortresses our own. str_npc6_home_description|Here in the Vale of Suno, our dialect and customs are closer than anywhere else in Calradia to those of the old Calrad Empire. We grow olives and wine, both crops brought to this land from overseas by the emperors, and also follow the old Calradic ways. We keep our pledges and pay our debts. str_npc7_home_description|Before I was married off, and before I was taken by bandits, I lived here. I was born in a hovel and spent my childhood in the fields. Our landlords were Nord, but we never saw them, merely their cursed minions and overseers. My father, coward that he was, cringed before them. str_npc8_home_description|You haven't heard the story? When Gundig Hairy-Breeks came to Calradia from Nordland, he planted his banner on the headland and said that it would remain there until he recaptured his 'inheritance.' His 'inheritance', he called it. Gundig believed the skalds who told him that the Emperor had bequeathed Calradia to the Nords, when in fact he just gave us a small strip of land along the coast, so that we would crew his galleys. str_npc9_home_description|The Nords would sail up the river in their longships. The townsmen of the coast could have stopped them, but they were cowards then, as they are today, and paid them a yearly stipend, known as the Nordgeld, to be let in peace. But the Vaegir king would not pay. My father decided to come over the mountains, to fight with the Vaegir hosts. Three summers in a row they tried to take the Rock, and each time the Vaegir lords held them back. str_npc10_home_description|In my father's day the Swadians would come calling, thinking to make us knuckle our foreheads and call them their overlords. But Grunwalder, an old veteran of the wars from the hills, showed us how to form a battleline with spear and crossbow that could break a Swadian charge. He fell in battle, but the people gave his name to the castle that was built here, where he fell, so that we would remember, and always stand firm against the horsemens' onslaught. str_npc11_home_description|I'm from Uxkhal. You know the saying, {sir/madame} -- 'Barley grown in Uxkhal is made into ale in Praven, and we're all the better for it.' Not sure what that means, {sir/madame}, but it's true about the barley. And wheat, and oats. We grow more grain here in the Vale of Uxkhal then all the rest of Calradia put together, and our ale is the best, too. You can see it in the soil here -- rich and black, and smells of good harvests and full bellies. str_npc12_home_description|The lord over there in Almerra Castle had the dropsy, and had requested a doctor from Uxkhal to treat him. Like a typical university-educated doctor, he went right to Galerian for a cure. Galerian commends sun-metal for dropsy. Now most of Galerian's writings were useless back in the days of the Calradic emperors when they were first written down, and they're doubly worthless today, but sometimes he hits upon the right cure by chance sun-metal does cure some kinds of dropsy in small doses. However, sun-metal in large doses is poison, something that the Galerian-worshippers never grasped. str_npc13_home_description|I had come up here with a small Swadian force, but they were caught by the Rhodoks in the woods and their horsemen cut down amid the trees. I fled and found shelter up in the high valleys, in the arms of the comeliest cowherd you ever saw. She took me to a cave near the high pastures, and would bring me cheese and berries, and tell me the tales from the hills -- of playful goat-men who guide lost animals back to their flocks, or of ghostly huntsmen who ride the winds, chasing stormclouds. Such rustics they are! str_npc14_home_description|I say 'trying' because in my opinion, Vaegirs don't take well to discipline. Finest archers you ever saw, and good riders too, but they have no stomach for fighting in ranks. Their skills serve them well enough against Khergits and Nords, particularly when they can hide behind walls, but Sarranids can match them arrow for arrow, and I've seen Swadian knights cut through Vaegirs like a knife through butter. Now, a Rhodok spear-wall is designed to stop a Swadian charge in its tracks, and usually does. str_npc15_home_description|Like most castles that last around here, it's got foundations that are old Imperial Calradic. You can't see them any more with all the rebuilding, but the slabs are the size of a house. They must have been real sorcerors back in those days, because I don't see how they moved those things otherwise. Beautiful location, too -- Culmarr sits right in front of the pass leading out of Calradia, which allows the lord to charge a pretty penny in tolls during the three months of the year that it's not snowed in. str_npc16_home_description|The snows in these valleys don't melt until late in the year, and the land is hard to plough. You can grow a bit of barley, but not much else. But there's wealth here in the woods deer, rabbit and lynx, meat and furs, and the mountains have iron, and traders would ship enough saltfish up the river from the coast to keep the people fed for the winter. str_npc1_home_description_2|They go easy on us farming folk, and don't ask for much in tax -- not that we would be able to pay in any case. The land isn't good enough for most crops. Frankly, it's only good for horse-rearing, and that only for half of the year, in the winter after the rains. In the summer they take their herds back into the mountains. Caravans come over the hills and bring spice to Tulga, but we don't see much of that money down in the villages. str_npc2_home_description_2|I had loaded up on saffron, cinnamon, cloves, pepper and other spices and a chest full of francs. I estimated that I could buy linens, furs, velvet, iron and wool, and the extra horses to carry them back, and I'd still make a profit. I just hadn't figured in the Khergits, who apparently don't care for others cutting in on their monopoly. str_npc3_home_description_2|The poets call Veluca a paradise, and I think for once that they do not exaggerate. str_npc4_home_description_2|How do I know this, you ask? Well... I was taken by them, and held for ransom, but I got away. That's really all there is to tell. str_npc5_home_description_2|Of course, you know how things go. My father's generation were hard warriors from the cold lands across the mountains, but this generation all has houses in the town and great estates and spend time as much trading as they do practicing archery. The next generation will grow soft on Velucan wine and will lose their lands to the next batch of illiterate hill-raiders to come over the mountains, just you watch. It's how things always were, and how things always will be. str_npc6_home_description_2|We men of Suno also never forget an insult, and avenge any wrong done unto us. Old-fashioned Calradic honour, I dare say, has brought me to my current fallen state. But despite that, I am proud to be from this region. Our lord is a vassal of the Swadian king in Praven, but as far as we are concerned he is just yet another barbarian chieftain, and we are the Empire's true heirs. str_npc7_home_description_2|We were allowed to fish the river, raise pigs amid the reedbeds, and grow whatever we could in our private plots, but in the open fields we were only permitted to grow flax, to be taken to Sargoth and woven into linen. So we were always hungry, and weak, and never had the courage to rebel. str_npc8_home_description_2|The skalds' tales at least gave Gundig an excuse to raise a warband -- not that we Nords ever need an excuse, mind. He sailed across the sea, rallied the Calradian Nords to his banner, and marched on the Rock of Rivacheg. The Vaegirs killed him, and threw his banner into the surf. But the Nords keep coming, and some day all of Calradia will be ours. str_npc9_home_description_2|Just as the Nords can call on their kinfolk overseas, so does the Vaegir king call on his kinfolk from over the mountains. Had my father not disinherited me, I would also have taken an oath of fealty to the lord of Reyvadin. But just as I was shorn of my inheritance, so also was I shown of my obligations, and it is the Vaegir king's loss. str_npc10_home_description_2|We grow mulberry trees here for silk and kermes too for the dye. We take it to Jelkala where they weave it into the finest velvet -- not that I have ever had enough francs in my pocket to buy velvet, mind. But the craftsmen of Jelkala also make good crossbows, and for that I'll not begrudge them their little luxuries str_npc11_home_description_2|The Swadian king will tell you that Praven was the biggest city in Calradia back under the Empire, and that's why he should rule the whole land today. Mind you, I don't care much about politics, {sir/madame} -- I've sold provisions to every army that ever marched in Calradia, and I tell you that I wouldn't give a single one of them a single biscuit unless I had the cold, hard francs in my hand first. Why these high and mighty kings and nobles can't pay their bills, I'll never know. But I prattle on a bit, there, don't I? str_npc12_home_description_2|The difference between poison and cure is the dose. You tell that to everyone you meet, and tell them you heard it first from Jeremus the Great. People think that all the wisdom worth knowing was written in Old Calradic, but I say you can learn twice as much from village midwives and careful examination of nature than from the entire imperial corpus. That's why they threw me out of the university, although in retrospect that was a blessing. Anyway, I put that lord back on his feet, and he availed me of a sack of gold and the corpse of a freshly hanged criminal to dissect. Ha! To think of the lengths I had to go to get specimens back in those days. str_npc13_home_description_2|Eventually I had to leave, and sometimes I wonder if there is a little herdsboy swaddled on her back, as she takes the cows up to pasture each morning. I'd be tempted to try to find her -- but no, no, one should never look back. str_npc14_home_description_2|If anyone were ever to unify this little land of ours, I'd sign up to serve them, free of charge. I'd put together an army of Rhodok spears with Nord footmen on the flanks and Vaegir archers in front, take along some Khergit scouts to find and fix the enemy, and some Swadian lancers and Sarranid mamlukes to finish them off. I'd take that army over the mountains and make the whole world kneel to Calradia.... Of course, that's what the Emperors thought, and in the end the tribes took away their Empire. str_npc15_home_description_2|And here's the funny thing -- when the Rhodok lands first rebelled against the Swadians, they all said they weren't going to have any noble lords ruling over them. You can guess how long that lasted. One Rhodok hill chieftain sets himself up in Culmarr, calls himself 'Count', and the good burghers of Jelkala and Veluca have to lick his boots if they want to sell their wine and velvet outside Calradia. And if you want to keep the counts under control, and the peasants providing the towns with food rather than selling to the highest bidder, then you need a King too, don't you? The Rhodok lands are no different than anyone else, whatever guff they talk about 'ancient liberties' and 'freedom.' str_npc16_home_description_2|Still, it was a thin living, and there were always too many mouths around to feed. The Vaegir king and the Khergit khan don't make life any easier for us, squeezing for tax money the villages they control, and raiding for plunder the villages they don't. Of course, I can't say I'd do any differently do the same if I had a castle and an army all of my own. The mighty do whatever they can, and the humble do whatever they must. str_npc1_home_recap|I'm from the high steppe, near {s21}. str_npc2_home_recap|I was born over the mountains. I'm a merchant, the son of a merchant, and the grandson of a merchant. str_npc3_home_recap|I used to live in my father's house in {s20}, but I spent much of my childhood in {s21}. str_npc4_home_recap|Our ancestral barony is over the mountains, across the Culdarr pass. str_npc5_home_recap|I was born in the highlands on the other side of the mountains, past Tulga, but I have relatives in {s21}. str_npc6_home_recap|My family lives in {s21}, but I cannot bear to face them. str_npc7_home_recap|I was born in a hovel in the fens, not far from {s21}. str_npc8_home_recap|I was born overseas, in Nordland, and my husband's hall also was in Nordland. str_npc9_home_recap|I am from the Vaegir homeland over the mountains, where the Vaegir lords lived before the Emperor brought them in Calradia. str_npc10_home_recap|Born and raised in Jelkala, {Brother/Sister}, and I hope some day to buy land there. But I had a mind to see a bit of the world first, so I took my crossbow and went off to the wars. str_npc11_home_recap|I was born in the train of an army, and lived all my days in the train of an army. My folk are from Praven, however, so I guess that's as much home to me as anywhere. str_npc12_home_recap|I come from overseas. I travel the world in search of medical lore. str_npc13_home_recap|Oh, far away from here, my {lord/lady}, else you would already have heard about me, and would not need to ask such things. str_npc14_home_recap|I am the younger son of the Count of Geroia. str_npc15_home_recap|I'm from over the hills. But Calradia is where the money is to be made, these days, if your trade is siegecraft. str_npc16_home_recap|Why, captain, I was born in Uslum village, but my mother lost her land to a scheming relative and had to put herself in bond to a nearby lord. str_npc1_honorific|sir str_npc2_honorific|{sir/madame} str_npc3_honorific|{sir/madame} str_npc4_honorific|captain str_npc5_honorific|{playername} Bahadur str_npc6_honorific|captain str_npc7_honorific|captain str_npc8_honorific|{playername} str_npc9_honorific|{my good sir/my good lady} str_npc10_honorific|{Brother/Sister} str_npc11_honorific|{laddie/lassie} -- I mean Captain str_npc12_honorific|captain str_npc13_honorific|oh valorous one str_npc14_honorific|commander str_npc15_honorific|captain str_npc16_honorific|captain str_npc1_kingsupport_1|That's a great idea, Boss. All these kings and khans and landed nobles who rule now, with their prisons and gibbets and scaffolds, the whippings and brandings and hangings for any man who might be driven by the crying of his children to steal a loaf of bread, or maybe a horse -- Calradia deserves something better. str_npc2_kingsupport_1|Well, captain -- I'd support you. I think you'd give Calradia the kind of enlightened rule which it has long needed. str_npc3_kingsupport_1|Well, my lord -- I would worry for you. Our histories tell us that power tends to corrupt. But in the end, I am comforted by the mercy and judgment you have shown as captain of this company. str_npc4_kingsupport_1|Well, captain, I think that you would be the kind of {king/queen} that well-born gentlemen such as myself would be proud to follow into battle... str_npc5_kingsupport_1|A fine idea, Bahadur - you have shown that you know how to govern men. Mind that you govern them justly, though... str_npc6_kingsupport_1|I cannot judge the legal merits of your claim. However, I think that unlike the other kings here, you have the capacity to unify this land -- and that would put a stop to these endless wars, between kingdom and kingdom, noble and noble, and brother and brother, that have brought us all into disgrace in the eyes of the heavens. str_npc7_kingsupport_1|Aye -- you'll do well. You know how to treat bandits and ruffians. str_npc8_kingsupport_1|The saga of Bjernstad tells us that a man who does great deeds, beyond those of the other men of his time, may claim the throne. I'd say that you could make that claim. str_npc9_kingsupport_1|Very good, my lord. I'm a Vaegir by blood, but Yaroglek never stood for me when I was cheated of my inheritance. So I don't owe him anything, and I say, 'Let the throne go to the most valiant!' Which would be you, {sir/my lady}. str_npc10_kingsupport_1|Well, {Brother/Sister}, I suppose there must be {kings/kings and queens}, and if there must be {kings/kings and queens}, then you would be as good a {king/queen} as any... str_npc11_kingsupport_1|Why, that's a fine idea, {laddie/lassie}! I suppose I shall have to learn to call you 'Majesty', or 'Your Grace', then... str_npc12_kingsupport_1|I am sure that you would make a fine king, captain. I flatter myself that I am a good judge of character, and you have demonstrated a capacity for compassion that far exceeds that of these others who call themselves monarchs. str_npc13_kingsupport_1|That would be a fine thing, {sir/my lady}! Many is the tale of the hero who has proven his worthiness to wear a crown through valor. Perhaps you know the song of Antaran son of Ashdab, who rose from obscurity to become king of Dabarah. A splendid tale! str_npc14_kingsupport_1|Well, sir, the heavens have instituted a hierarchy in this world, and normally I would have no truck with usurpation. But I also think that the kings of this land are a weak and sorry lot, not worthy of the name of king, and that leaves the crown free to be taken by a better {man/ruler}, such as yourself. str_npc15_kingsupport_1|Well, you pay your men on time, when you can, generally speaking. That's the best qualification for kingship there is, in my book. You show some respect for the rights of others. str_npc16_kingsupport_1|Why not, captain? I'm sure you'd make a fine {king/queen} -- and of course I'd hope you remember the little people like myself who did you a pretty turn on your scramble to the throne. str_npc1_kingsupport_2|Sure would, Boss. But let me tell you what might bring others to your cause -- particularly us poor folk. They tell us that in the old days, each new Emperor who took the throne would issue a great amnesty for all but the worst prisoners in his dungeons, give people a second chance to make something of themselves -- like you gave me a second chance, Boss. str_npc2_kingsupport_2|Most of the lords of this land -- well, let's just say that they never held a denar that they didn't collect as rent or take as pillage. You, on the other hand, have some experience of commerce and trade, of the effort and risk involved in making sure that men don't go hungry in Sargoth while there's a glut of grain in Praven, to give an example.... If you like, captain, I reckon I could find some support for you among the merchants and burghers of this realm. str_npc3_kingsupport_2|I would, {my lord/my lady}. But I would strongly recommend that you reinstitute an old Calradic imperial tradition -- the council of lords and commons, drawn from both the nobles of the land and well-educated men of property, with the power to overrule any new taxes or other tyrannical measures that might tempt you. It would be for your own good, {sir/my lady}. str_npc4_kingsupport_2|Of course, {captain/my lady}. The trick is now to get others to follow you. As you know, one's lineage is a great determinant of one's worthiness. Perhaps you have a long-lost ancestor of whom you have not told me? str_npc5_kingsupport_2|Ay, Bahadur, I would. But there is something I should say, on behalf of the men of the steppes such as myself. It would bring great joy to us, to hear from the lips of one who would be khan, that you would restore an anicent right. From the days of the old emperors, the men of the steppes have enjoyed the right to bring their flocks to new pastures or to market, which necessarily involves the crossing of lands owned by the great lords of this realm. str_npc6_kingsupport_2|I would. I would tell anyone who listens of your deeds on behalf of the weak and helpless, of your ability to lead men against great odds and triumph, and tell them that if you were to become {king/queen}, there would be one law and one peace -- from the Rhodok highlands to the Vaegir wastes, from the high steppe to the Nordic shore. str_npc7_kingsupport_2|Yes, captain, I would. A {king/queen}'s duty is to keep the roads safe for decent folk, make it so a woman can gather the firewood or draw the water without being accosted by some drooling, scabby ape of an outlaw. Anyway, you've split the skulls of a number of such brutes in your time. Men would fear to even meet the eyes of a woman on the road, if you were {king/queen}. str_npc8_kingsupport_2|I would -- on one condition. You'd be king in Praven or Sargoth or wherever you want to rule, but I'd rule my own hall. And if I had a dispute with any other of your thegns, be it over land, livestock, or blood, you'd let us settle it sword to sword, according to the old ways, and let the heavens decide who is in the right. str_npc9_kingsupport_2|I would, {sir/madame}, and others would too. But here's what I think -- you need to show the noble lords that you'll uphold their ancient rights. Right now, Calradia's a mess -- the lord owns the land, except it's the king who owns the forest, but the city has the right to levy tax at its gates, and the commons can use the pastures on odd Tuesdays, except in Rivacheg when it's Wednesday. Who can remember? So I say you make things simple, like it was in the old days -- first the {king/sovereign}, then the lords, then everyone else. str_npc10_kingsupport_2|Certainly, {Brother/Sister}. But I'd ask that you consider a thought of mine. If you became {king/queen}, then I'd ask you open your court to the common folks, and not just to the lords and blue-bloods. I'd ask you to let it be known that should any man be judged and sentenced, that he have the right to appeal to you directly. Right now, the lords have the right -- I say every man in Calradia should have it, too. str_npc11_kingsupport_2|Of course, I would! Let me see your hand, there... Aha! You've got the 'Mark of Kings.' That's what we call it in Praven, anyway. I hear in Suno it's the 'Emperor's Line,' but they call everything differently, over there. Anyway, yours is very long -- I'd say that it means that you're meant to rule! It's your destiny! In fact, I think I can even recall a prophecy to that effect. Hmm, how did it go... str_npc12_kingsupport_2|Of course, captain. But if I have learned anything in my travels in this land, it is that Calradians are sticklers for precedent. Everything must be done as it was done in the days of the old Empire -- even though not more than one in a hundred of them can read enough Old Calradic to understand the chronicles! Veluca merchants marry their daughters according to the 'imperial' rite. Rivacheg cattle herders churn 'imperial' butter. And of course, every king must be crowned according to 'imperial' law. str_npc13_kingsupport_2|Of course, {my lord/my lady}. Also, as we learn from the tale of Antaran, when claiming a throne, it does not hurt to be the subject of an epic, recited around campfires and hearthfires, describing one's deeds. As you no doubt know, I fancy myself a fair crafter of couplets. str_npc14_kingsupport_2|I would indeed, sir. I think you can unite this land, and then we'll be able to raise an army such as Calradia has not seen for many generations -- Swadian lances, Vaegir archers, Rhodok spears, Sarranid swords, Nord axes, and Khergit skirmishers, and take it over the mountains to subdue all the lands that the Calradic emperors once held sway. str_npc15_kingsupport_2|I would. People might say that you don't have royal blood in your veins. But as far as I've seen, royal blood makes you a skinflint. Kings and nobles will take out loans or commission building projects without half a thought to how they're ever going to pay back all those commoners who expect to eat after an honest day's work. If you ask me, an honest tongue makes a {man/woman} a {king/queen}, not a fancy pedigree. str_npc16_kingsupport_2|Of course, my {lord/lady}. And what's more, I figure a girl like me could do you a bit of a service raising support with the lords of this land. I may have only had a small part in their schemes and intrigues over the years, but I think I know what they want. And given what I know of their secrets, they'd not want to be denying me admission to their halls, now would they? str_npc1_kingsupport_2a|Please go on... str_npc2_kingsupport_2a|Please continue... str_npc3_kingsupport_2a|Please continue... str_npc4_kingsupport_2a|Of course - let me tell you all about him. str_npc5_kingsupport_2a|Please go on... str_npc6_kingsupport_2a|Splendid str_npc7_kingsupport_2a|Well, yes, I will try to keep order... str_npc8_kingsupport_2a|Fair enough str_npc9_kingsupport_2a|That seems sensible enough... str_npc10_kingsupport_2a|Of course - I would give my subjects that right str_npc11_kingsupport_2a|See if you can recall that prophesy. str_npc12_kingsupport_2a|Interesting. Please go on... str_npc13_kingsupport_2a|Why, yes, that you are. str_npc14_kingsupport_2a|Please go on... str_npc15_kingsupport_2a|Well-spoken, my good man str_npc16_kingsupport_2a|Interesting... Please continue str_npc1_kingsupport_2b|Well. We saw how that turned out... str_npc2_kingsupport_2b|I do not ask for their support, as they would no doubt wish to make a profit on the transaction. str_npc3_kingsupport_2b|I have no intention of hobbling myself in that way. str_npc4_kingsupport_2b|I will have no part of this str_npc5_kingsupport_2b|I said that I wished to be {king/queen}, not that I wished to involve myself in the minutiae of nomadism str_npc6_kingsupport_2b|I'm not sure that I can quite deliver all that str_npc7_kingsupport_2b|I think you're maybe taking the idea of the king's peace a bit too far, there str_npc8_kingsupport_2b|That's a pretty tall condition str_npc9_kingsupport_2b|I'm not sure that implementing your idea would be as 'simple' as you think str_npc10_kingsupport_2b|Hmm. Let me think it over. str_npc11_kingsupport_2b|Ah... I'll have my hand back, please. str_npc12_kingsupport_2b|Enough, sir. I will not have you mock our traditions str_npc13_kingsupport_2b|Hmm. I'm not sure about that. str_npc14_kingsupport_2b|Actually, I was looking forward to a bit of rest after becoming {king/queen}... str_npc15_kingsupport_2b|{King/Queen} of the Clerks, maybe, Enough of such talk str_npc16_kingsupport_2b|No offense, but I'm not sure that's the approach I'd take str_npc1_kingsupport_3|If I could go about this land for a few weeks, telling the common folk that you were going to amnesty their kinfolk like the emperors of old -- well, they would start talking of you as the Emperor, and that would pave your way to the throne. Shall I do that, Boss? str_npc3_kingsupport_3|If you were to make such a pledge, {sir/madame}, I think that it would help many of the lords of this land overcome any reluctance that they might have. If your aim is to restore the old Calradic system, then arguably you are a more legitimate {king/ruler} then any of these come-lately usurpers. Give me leave for several weeks, {sir/madame}, and I will let it be known in the noble courts and merchant houses of this land that you intend to restore their ancient rights. str_npc4_kingsupport_3|Yes -- I think I have heard of that line, In fact, I can envision {his/her} entire genealogy. If you give me leave, 'Majesty', I shall travel about the villages and castles of this realm over the next several weeks, spreading word of your royal birth. Of course, I would hope that you would remember your faithful subject, when it comes to distributing lands... str_npc5_kingsupport_3|Anyway, lord, in these sorry times the men of the great estates have taken to blocking our passage, charging us huge fees to cross. It is a great burden on my people, Bahadur. If I could take a few weeks to let the men of the steppes know that you would support the restoration of our ancient rights, well, then, I think you would find many who would support you as khan, And when men speak of you as khan, that's the first step to becoming one. str_npc6_kingsupport_3|Very well. Although I am now a stranger to my family, I have entered many a noble's hall in your train, and I reckon I would be welcome again. I shall go about this land and tell the nobles that when you are {king/queen}, you will strive your hardest to protect the weak and to crush discord, so that no man will raise his hand against another with impunity, and one day, perhaps, the sin of fraticide will be no more. str_npc7_kingsupport_3|I'll tell you what, captain. Give me a few weeks and I'll go to some of these villages -- stinking hovels that they are, but I reckon I can take care of myself these days. I'll tell the people there that once you unify this land, you'll wipe it clean of banditry. You'll erect gallows along the roads and keep them well-stocked with broken-necked thieves, so that every passerby knows that the wages of indecency is death. str_npc8_kingsupport_3|Good! Then give me a few weeks and I'll go about the courts of this land, letting it be known that you're a {king/ruler} who respects the thegns and their ancient rights. You won't go sticking your royal nose where it doesn't belong, and Calradia will be the better for it. str_npc9_kingsupport_3|It's perfectly sensible, {sir/madame} -- and we'll be free of those cursed writs and burghers' petitions and scrolls that take up all of my time and yours, when we should both be out fighting for the glory of your kingdom. Give me leave and I'll spread word among the noble lords of this land that you're here to restore the old ways, and I'll bet there will plenty who will follow you into battle. str_npc10_kingsupport_3|Well then, {Brother/Sister}, give me leave for a few weeks and I can go about this land, letting the common folk know that you will rule justly and equitably, and that lord and common alike should be one before your law. Men will speak of you as {king/queen}, and that's a good start to becoming one... str_npc11_kingsupport_3|I can't recall now, but if you let me go back to my home, I could find an old greybeard who remembers it in full. And, I could put it around that you've got the mark of kings on your hand! There's many where I come from who are waiting for a just ruler, and a man's hands tell all that's worth knowing about him. Give me a few weeks, and I'll reckon I can have quite a few expecting you to be their next {king/queen}. str_npc12_kingsupport_3|But you know what? There was no 'imperial' law when it came to the crown. Sometimes one emperor handed the empire to his son. Sometimes he split it between his generals. Sometimes one emperor murdered the last. There's no right 'Calradic' way to crown a {king/king or queen}, and thus it makes sense that the crown should go to the one most fit to govern -- which would be you, naturally. Give me a couple of weeks, and I'll write a tract which proves it and find a copyist to post a version in every town tavern in the land. What do you say to that idea, captain? str_npc13_kingsupport_3|Then give me leave for a few weeks, oh gallant one, and I will spin such a tale as would stir even the dullest heart, inspiring admiration for your virtues, compassion for your hardships, and indignation at those who would stand in your way. I assume, of course, that I would be able to take a certain amount of poetic license with the details? str_npc14_kingsupport_3|Give me leave for a few weeks, {sir/madame}, and I will let all the worthy men of this land know that you are the one to unite not just Calradia, but all the other Calradic dominions. For according to my thinking, no one should be {king/king or queen} here unless they have the capacity to rule the entirety of the realm -- and you alone have demonstrated such a capacity, {sir/madamge}. str_npc15_kingsupport_3|I'm glad you think so. Here's what I suggest. I know men in the guilds here, men like me, who've been shafted and shaken down until they can take no more. Here's what I'll tell them -- you're honest. You respect the burghers. You'll pay your debts. You won't beggar your subjects. str_npc16_kingsupport_3|Give me leave for a few weeks, and I'll do a little tour of my former employers' castles. I'll sing them a pretty song about what you'll do as {king/queen}, about all the ancient freedoms you'll restore -- let them rob their tenants and tax the merchants and fight their wars and spend themselves silly without a thought to tomorrow, as a noble ought! What do you say to that, captain? str_npc1_kingsupport_objection|Boss -- you've given leave to Alayen to go tell the nobles that they will have rights over pasture, market, and forest? I can't say I like that. Give him his way, and he'll set up gibbets in every village in the land, where there will dangle some poor sod like me who thought he might pick up a bow, head to the woods and put a bit of meat on his table. str_npc2_kingsupport_objection|Um, captain. Matheld has ridden off to tell the lords of this land that you'll let them settle their quarrels by force and violence. You know they rarely actually fight each other, right? Most of the time, it's the traders and travellers on the roads between their castles that get clobbered in their petty disputes. Any excuse to shake down a caravan, they'll take. I really hope that she misunderstood you, sir. str_npc3_kingsupport_objection|Captain -- Deshavi has set off on some sort of expedition, which she says that you countenanced. She says that she will go about the villages of this land, telling the poor villagers that once you are {king/queen}, you intend to hang all thieves and bandits. {Sir/Madame}, I am a merchant's daughter, and know well the scourge of banditry. I also know that Deshavi has suffered great wrongs. But surely you do not intend to hang men indiscriminately. There must be some place for mercy in your kingdom str_npc4_kingsupport_objection|Captain. Artimenner has set off on a journey, telling the burghers that you claim the throne because you know how to balance your accounts. That's nonsense. Nobles and kings fight and rule. If they had to haggle over wages and overruns with every passing vagabond who ever did a scrap of work on their estates, then there would be nothing but disorder and chaos. str_npc5_kingsupport_objection|{playername} Bahadur -- I overhead what you told Ymira. But I wonder -- if the lords who live from farming, and the merchants who earn from trade, are allowed to determine what taxes will be leveed, then who will be taxed? Those who live from flocks, of course -- my people, the people of the steppes. I would have nothing to do with these councils, Bahadur -- all free men should be one, under the khan, and that is the end of it. str_npc6_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you have dispatched Rolf to fabricate a claim of royal descent. I have to tell you, {sir/madame} -- I do not think that the heavens will smile on such an attempt to take the throne by fraud. str_npc7_kingsupport_objection|I have heard what you told Bunduk, about giving every common criminal the right of appeal to the {king/ruler}. I do not approve. Bandits should be hanged when caught. Give them a trial or an appeal, and they will talk their way out of the noose. Bunduk is a good man, but no man can fully understand what these wolves in human form do to women str_npc8_kingsupport_objection|Captain -- you have dispatched Firentis to tell the lords of this land that you intend to impose a peace, under which no one should settle their disputes by the sword. Would you have us all die in our beds, then? That is a great shame, for my people. A {king/sovereign}'s duty is to lead us into battle, not to tell us how to handle our quarrels and differences. str_npc9_kingsupport_objection|{Sir/Madame} -- it is with great regret that I have learned that you have told Baheshtur to let his people know that you will allow them to lead their flocks over the lands of their betters. I hope that I am mistaken about this, sir. The money we demand is but small compensation for the damage they cause to our flocks and the pollution of our water sources. My {lord/lady}, if your future kingdom is to be some nomads' paradise, then I for one do not look forward to it. str_npc10_kingsupport_objection|I hear that you've got Nizar spinning poems to justify your ascent to the throne. I can't say I approve, {Brother/Sister}. If men fight for a {king/sovereign}, it should be because they know they're going to get something good out of it, not because they've taken a liking to a silly song. str_npc11_kingsupport_objection|I hear that Lezalit is off and about telling folks that you're going to make yourself {king/queen} and then lead an army over the mountains. Shall there be no end to these wars, {laddie/lassie}? I was thinking that if you made yourself {king/queen}, then maybe you'd give us a bit of peace. But I guess the heavens have made Calradian blood to be spilt, and Calradian bones to be broken, and there's no getting round their decree. str_npc12_kingsupport_objection|Captain. I hear that you've gone and made Klethi, of all people, some sort of ambassador to the aristocracy. I shudder to think of what that amoral girl might be promising them on your behalf -- and dignifying all these gross indulgences by calling them 'ancient freedoms.' By doing this, you mock those of us who who had hoped that you would have helped Calradia escape its bloody past, and move towards a new age of peace and learning. Enough, I have said my peace. str_npc13_kingsupport_objection|Oh valiant one -- I hear that you have given leave to Jeremus to produce some testily-worded dissertation that undermines everything the people of this land hold dear, and accuses the old emperors of murder and usurpation. Captain -- I know as a poet that people must have heroes to emulate, and a golden age to restore. Will you create a kingdom in which cynics and scholars tell us what we must believe? I can think of nothing more dull. str_npc14_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you've sent your man Borcha to proclaim to all Calradia that you intend to free all the miscreants of this land upon your accession to the throne. What a foul idea... Men must be governed, {sir/madame} -- with whips and chains and the noose, if necessary. You'll find that out the hard way if you become {king/queen}, I'll warrant. str_npc15_kingsupport_objection|I understand that you've given leave to Katrin to spread some nonsense about marks on your hands. I just want to say that, as an educated man, I find it disturbing that you would resort to old women's superstitions to back your claim. Village women will believe one thing one day, another thing the next. Now a horoscope, properly cast by an astrologer at a royal university with a reputation to uphold, might tell you something worth knowing, but those have not been performed in Calradia for some time. str_npc16_kingsupport_objection|Oy -- Captain! I hear that Marnid's gone off to sing a pretty song to the merchants, on how you'll hand them Calradia on a silver platter for them to feast upon, smack their lips, and suck the marrow from the bones. I hope that's just a tale you're telling. A noble lord will at least toss a few coppers to the poor when he holds his feasts, and will make sure that the servants go home with full bellies. A merchant marries his daughter, and you'd be lucky to get a few crusts and scraps of gristle from the table. That's my experience, anyway. str_npc1_intel_mission|Well, Boss, as it happens, I have a few cousins over in {s17}, and unlike some in my family, they can still stand the sight of me. They deal in horses --- I've even been able to supply them with stock from time to time -- and so they get to pick up a bit of the gossip round the castles and great halls of the {s18}. I could go over there for a few days and tell you what I find out. str_npc2_intel_mission|{Sir/My lady}, if you're interested in events in {s18}, I can still make contact with my old trading partners in {s17}. They're usually well-informed about political events. str_npc3_intel_mission|Captain, although I cannot return to my father's house in {s17}, I still may make contact with my sister. She will be privy to the councils of the great merchant houses, and may tell us much about the state of the {s18}. str_npc4_intel_mission|Captain, if you could spare me for a few days, I would like to look up an old comrade-in-arms in {s17}, who has from time to time led a small company in the pay of the {s18}. He is a good man, the kind who speaks little and listens much. I'm sure over a drink or two he might let us know which way the political winds are blowing in those parts. str_npc5_intel_mission|If you like, {playername} Bahadur, I can take a few days to visit my mother's sister's people. They work in a caravanserie in {s17}, and hear the news from all across the {s18}. They may have some gossip about the feuds and rivaries of the great lords, if that is of interest to you. str_npc6_intel_mission|Captain -- while I am not strictly welcome in {s17}, I would be able to make contact with some former tenants of an estate of mine nearby. I granted them ownership after my abrupt departure, and they are now well-placed in society, and also less inclined than most to hold my crime against me. If you give me a few days, I may be able to collect some interesting information about the {s18}. str_npc7_intel_mission|Captain. When I left my former home in {s17}, I had promised myself that I would never return, except for the purposes of taking out vengeance on those who wronged me. Perhaps I was rash. I am occasionally curious as to how my family is getting along. Perhaps I can bring them some gifts, to let them know what I have made of myself! Any rate, they are wretched people, but just as a cringing dog keeps its ear to the wind, so do they. They may have useful information about the {s18}, if you would give me a few days to pay them a visit. str_npc8_intel_mission|If you have any interest in the events in the {s18}, a former shield-companion of mine retired and now keeps a farm near {s17}. He keeps in contact with a number of other old warriors. I could visit him for a few days, and learn more about what is going on there. str_npc9_intel_mission|{Sir/My lady} -- it has been some time since I sampled the delights of {s17}, where gentlefolk such as myself are wont to partake of the hospitality of the most puissant and generous lord. If you wish, I could perhaps go there, and let you know something about the concerns that weigh on the minds of the great peers of the {s18}. str_npc10_intel_mission|Captain -- I was thinking that some of my old mates in the garrison at {s17} would be glad to see me. They are good lads, and would never betray the city, but like me they have no particular affection for the bluebloods that command them, and may be willing to slip a little political gossip our way. The gentry are always falling out over one little thing or the other, but the lads might be able to know if there's real dissent brewing. str_npc11_intel_mission|{Laddie/Lassie} -- I was thinking that it's been a while since I visited my kinfolk in {s17}. They've been kind enough to me over the years, helping me out during the lean times, so I feel I'd like to share some of my newfound fortune with them. I've also bought wholesale enough times from the Praven grain merchants for them to trust me. I'd reckon they might be persuaded to spill a few tidbits about events in the {s18}, if that would interest you. str_npc12_intel_mission|If you wish, Captain, I would not mind taking the time to pay a visit to a pupil of mine, now employed by the lord of {s17}. I had great hopes for him, but I have heard that he has lately endorsed the use of muskmelon for the treatment of palsy, on the grounds that its cold essence offsets an abundance of yellow bile. This is a travesty of medicine, and I must journey there swiftly to correct him. While I am there, if you wish, I could question him on the latest trends within the {s18}, a matter which may interest you. str_npc13_intel_mission|Oh valiant one! With your permission, I was thinking that I might pay a visit to the dales near {s17}. I try not to revisit old pastures, but I must confess a certain curiosity as to how a comely shepherdess of my former acquaintance is getting along. On the way, I may attempt to stop in at the castle. I suspect that it would not be terribly difficult for me to charm my way into the lord's hall, and I may be able to provide you with the latest news from the {s18}. str_npc14_intel_mission|Captain... As you may know, I helped train the garrison of {s17}. One of their number has lately been in touch with me, and suggests that if I were to visit him, he could pass me information on events within the {s18}. I am willing to do this, if you can spare me. While it is a great disgrace to be a traitor, there is no dishonor in making use of one. str_npc15_intel_mission|Captain. As you may know, I have for some time harbored a wish to go to {s17}, and study the masonry -- one of the finest examples of the old Calradic style. As it happens, one of my colleagues is currently engaged there doing repair work on the curtain wall. While his sense of professional obligation I think would prevent him, rightfully, from disclosing to me any weaknesses in its defenses, I suspect that he would not be averse to offering up his opinion on the general state of the {s18}, if that is of interest to you. str_npc16_intel_mission|Oy, Captain! I had a mind to pay a visit to my old haunts at {s17}. Let's just say that the lord and lady of the place had commissioned a certain service from me, and had been a bit lax about payment. However, a certain sparkly bauble in the lady's possession will fit the bill nicely. I see no need to trouble them by letting them know about my visit, but I could have a wee chat with my old friend the castle steward, who'll be letting me into the place, about goings-on in the {s18}. str_npc1_fief_acceptance|You'd make me lord of {s17}, Boss? Well, that would be the kindest thing that anyone has ever done for me in a long time. Heh. I'll make the most of it -- you can count on that. I have to say, though -- I'm not sure how the other lords of this realm will react, when they find old Borcha in their august company. str_npc2_fief_acceptance|{s17} as a fief? Well, I've always thought in terms of buying and selling goods, not in terms of governing anything. But now that you mention it, I bet I could make that place turn a fair bit of revenue. I thank you, {my Lord/my lady} -- this is a very kind turn that you have done me. str_npc3_fief_acceptance|{Sire/My lady}, it is most generous of you to offer me {s17}. I would be pleased to hold it, and dedicate myself to the moral and material uplift of its inhabitants. str_npc4_fief_acceptance|It is good of you to grant me {s17} as a fief -- and most appropriate. Proud indeed is the king who has a baron of the House of Rolf as {his/her} vassal. str_npc5_fief_acceptance|Bahadur -- I would be most pleased to hold {s17}. I will send word to the hills, to my kinsmen, and let them know that there is honorable gold to be earned serving under me in your armies -- and they will come flocking to fight for you! str_npc6_fief_acceptance|{Sir/Lady} -- I am surprised that you find me worthy to govern men, as I am just beginning to learn to govern myself. But if you indeed wish it, I would be most honored to hold {s17} in your name, and dedicate myself to the protection of those who live there. str_npc7_fief_acceptance|Aye, I'll hold {s17} -- and give it a reputation that strikes fear in the hearts of thieves and brigands across Calradia. Thank you, {sire/madame}, for this opportunity. str_npc8_fief_acceptance|You'd make me a thegn? Well, I suppose that I can postpone reclaiming my inheritance for a little while longer, and make my great hall at {s17}. Some day, I may travel over the seas to take back what is mine, but until then, I would be pleased to raise a band of battle-hardened Nords to fight under your banner. str_npc9_fief_acceptance|{Sire/My lady}, I was cheated of my inheritance -- but now, with this offer of this estate, you make right what was wrong. It would give me the greatest honor to serve you, to fight for you, and to hold this land in fief to you. str_npc10_fief_acceptance|You'd make me a lord? Well, no thank you -- but if you would call me 'tribune' -- the tribunes being the people's servants in the old times -- then I suppose I could bring myself to run {s17} for you. I'd put food in the bellies of the hungry, and raise a fine force of Rhodok foot to fight on your behalf, {Brother/Sister}. But I can't promise that the real blue-bloods will enjoy rubbing shoulders with me in your councils. str_npc11_fief_acceptance|Ay! You'd grant old Katrin a title of nobility? Well, I'd be daft to turn you down, now wouldn't I? My, the strange turns that life takes... Fancy this old bag of bones becoming a great peer of the realm of Calradia. str_npc12_fief_acceptance|Well, {sire/my lady}, I'd have you know that don't believe in the holding of land in fief to the king. Farmers and landholders should govern their own affairs, under the distant watch of the sovereign. That being said, Calradia has seen far too much bloodshed for us to turn the social order on its head right now. Give me that land, and I'll endeavor to prepare it for a brighter future -- if not in this generation, than perhaps in the next. str_npc13_fief_acceptance|How generous and kind of you, {sire/my lady}. Allow me to express the utmost reverence for your wisdom in selecting me. Truly, your perspicacity exceeds that of King Laminur, who could read the character of a man from a single hair of his head. Your judgment surpasses that of the Emperor Akembra, to whom even the jinns submitted their disputes. Anyway, I accept. str_npc14_fief_acceptance|You do me a great honor, captain. In Geroia, a youngest son such as myself has few opportunities to earn a fief of his own. But here, in Calradia, there is still the chance for a man to win with his sword what was denied him by his birth! I shall hold {s17} as your vassal, and raise an army to fight for your glory and for mine. str_npc15_fief_acceptance|Well, {sir/my lady}, that's a gracious act, and marks you as the kind of monarch who can save this sorry land from the incompetence of the current batch. I suspect a lot of the noble lords around here will think that a commoner like me isn't fit to hold a fief. Well, when they see what I do with it, and what revenues I can bring in, they'll change their tune! str_npc16_fief_acceptance|Oh, that's most generous of you, {sire/my lady}. I've been in and out of many a great hall or manor -- not always with the master's permission, I should add -- but I never thought I'd own one myself. Let me think... When I collect my first year's rents, what baubles shall I buy myself? str_npc3_woman_to_woman|My lady, if you don't mind me saying -- I think by now you have proven yourself to be one of the great warriors of this realm. Yet strangely, no king has come forward to offer you a fief. Perhaps it is because you are a woman. No matter -- I personally believe that you will take your place among the great lords of this realm, even if you have to fight twice as long and twice as hard to receive your due! str_npc7_woman_to_woman|Captain. If you don't mind me saying, you have fought long and hard against the scum of Calradia, and with their defeat, you make this land a better place. You are well deserving of a fief of your own -- and I suspect that if you were not a woman, a king would have offered you one by now. That is the way of the men in this sorry land they let us stand in the front of the battleline to take the enemy's blows, but when it comes to a division of the spoils, they expect us to head to the rear. str_npc8_woman_to_woman|Excuse me, {playername}. I would like to offer you my congratulations -- it seems that you are well on your way to making a name for yourself as a warrior to be feared. If you were a man, I suspect the kings of this land would be falling over themselves to make you their vassal. Alas, in this world, women like ourselves must fight twice as hard to receive what is only our due. str_npc11_woman_to_woman|Aye, lassie, I just can't help thinking to myself -- you've made quite a name for yourself, haven't you? Fighting and marching up and down the length of the land. Why, I suspect if you were a man, some king would have offered you a fief by now. Well, you may still get what you deserve -- you'll just have to prove yourself a bit more. str_npc16_woman_to_woman|Oy, Captain -- if you don't mind me saying, you've made quite a name for yourself in these parts. I suspect that if you were a man, a king would have offered you a fief by now. But we ladies should come to expect things like that. Men will find any excuse not to reward us for our work, so if we take a fancy to a bit of land somewhere, maybe we should just reach out and take it. That's the way I look at the world, anyway. str_npc1_turn_against|I'm sorry that we meet like this, boss. There's no question that I owe my rise in life to you. You doubtless think me ungrateful. However, one has to follow one's destiny -- isn't that correct? str_npc2_turn_against|This is a sad day. I never thought that I might meet my old captain on the field of battle. Even if I triumph, it will bring me no joy. str_npc3_turn_against|Oh {playername} -- what a tragic turn our lives have taken! I can only hope that the tides of war that have made us enemies, will one day allow us to be friends. str_npc4_turn_against|Aye, well.... I'm not sure what to say. If we must fight, let's get it over with. str_npc6_turn_against|It grieves me more than anything I can say to meet you like this, {playername}. I shall not dwell on the circumstances that have led us to this point. I can only hope that we may one day be reconciled. str_npc7_turn_against|Well, captain. You made of me a great lady, and for that I am grateful. However, you did not buy me, and now the circumstances have caused us our interests to clash, I can meet you in battle with a clear conscience. Still, I hope some day that circumstances may change again, and we may meet as friends. str_npc8_turn_against|So we now we meet as enemies, and may shortly face each other over the rims of our shields. A grim day this is. Sometimes, the spinners of our fate have a dark sense of humor. str_npc9_turn_against|I will not accept fault for the circumstances which have led us to become enemies. I want you to know that my conscience is clear, although my heart is heavy. str_npc10_turn_against|Well, it looks like the tides of fate have led me to make war on my old captain. Maybe things started to go wrong when you became my liege -- I suppose I was never much suited to vassalage. Anyway, here we are now. Maybe, when the world is changed and there are no more masters and servants, or lords and vassals, then we can meet together as friends. str_npc11_turn_against|Great heaven, {laddie/lassie}. So now it looks like you and I are enemies. Didn't I say that life takes us on some very strange turns? Destiny sometimes has a cruel sense of humor -- I'll say that much. str_npc12_turn_against|So, it seems we must fight. I would have you know, {sir/my lady}, that I have not betrayed you. I had never served you as a man, but served the principles which I believed you upheld. As you no longer uphold them, I must do my best to thwart you. But I bear you no ill will, and I hope that we can meet again some day as friends str_npc13_turn_against|It is sad to meet you as my enemy, Captain -- but on the other hand, to meet such a titan of the battlefield as yourself in combat is a rare privilege. Truly, the news of our contest today shall keep the bards and poets of Calradia in wine and silver for months to come, do you think? str_npc14_turn_against|Well, {playername}. We meet as enemies. I confess that I have mixed feelings. It grieves me to make war on you, but if we meet in battle and I prevail, I will have defeated the worthiest foe in all Calradia, and I will know that my mastery of the military art is complete! str_npc15_turn_against|Ah... I have not been looking forward to this day. I just want to say that in my sight, if you'd kept your faith in me, things would never have come to this. But no doubt you see it differently. str_npc16_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_comment_intro_liege_affiliated|I am told that you are pledged to one of the pretenders who disputes my claim to the crown of Europe. But we may still talk. str_comment_intro_famous_liege|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps it is time that you sought a liege worthy of your valor. str_comment_intro_famous_martial|Your fame runs before you! Perhaps we shall test each other's valor in a tournament, or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_famous_badtempered|I've heard of you. Well, I'm not one for bandying words, so if you have anything to say, out with it. str_comment_intro_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet. You sound like a good {man/woman} to know. Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too. But that is no concern of mine. str_comment_intro_famous_goodnatured|I've heard of you! It's very good to finally make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_famous_upstanding|I know your name. They say you are a most valiant warrior. I can only hope that your honour and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_noble_liege|I see that you carry a {nobleman's/noble's} banner, although I do not recognize the device. Know that I am always looking for good {men/warriors} to fight for me, once they prove themselves to be worthy of my trust. str_comment_intro_noble_martial|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. No matter -- a brave {man's/warrior's} home is all the world, or so they say! str_comment_intro_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on your banner. No doubt another foreigner come to our lands, as if we didn't have so many here already. str_comment_intro_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Another vulture come to grow fat on the leftovers of war, no doubt! str_comment_intro_noble_cunning|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Still, it is always worthwhile to make the acquaintance of {men/women} who may one day prove themselves to be great warriors. str_comment_intro_noble_sadistic|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Perhaps you are the bastard {son/daughter} of a puffed-up cattle thief? Or perhaps you stole it? str_comment_intro_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance, {sir/my lady}! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_noble_upstanding|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. No doubt you have come to Calradia in search of wealth and glory. If this indeed is the case, then I only ask that you show mercy to those poor souls caught in the path of war. str_comment_intro_common_liege|I am always in the need of able officers; an army which cannot be reinforced is doomed, afterall. str_comment_intro_common_martial|Perhaps you are merely a peasant now, but a sceptre earned is wholly better than a sceptre granted. str_comment_intro_common_badtempered|Speak your piece, or be off in good order. str_comment_intro_common_pitiless|Another profiteer come to prey on the war-torn nation, eh? str_comment_intro_common_cunning|Keep your head about you and suspect everyone; you may go far with that. str_comment_intro_common_sadistic|Where I in a worse mood, you would be dangling from a noose for interrupting me str_comment_intro_common_goodnatured|I'd wager you're a decent enough sort. str_comment_intro_common_upstanding|Good fortune to you, and may the sun shine upon you. str_comment_intro_female_famous_liege|I have heard much about you. Some men may fear a woman who is versed in the art of war, but I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_famous_martial|I have heard much about you. They say that you are the equal of even the bravest of men in your prowess at arms. Perhaps one day I shall try my valor against yours, either in a tournament or on the battlefield! str_comment_intro_female_famous_badtempered|I've heard of talk of you -- the woman who knows how to fight like a man. str_comment_intro_female_famous_pitiless|I know your name. It strikes fear in men's hearts. That is good. Perhaps we should speak together, some time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_cunning|Ah, yes. At last we meet. You sound like a good woman to know. Let us speak together, from time to time. str_comment_intro_female_famous_sadistic|I know your name -- and from what I hear, I'll warrant that many a grieving widow knows too. But that is no concern of mine. str_comment_intro_female_famous_goodnatured|I've heard of you! It's very good to finally make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_famous_upstanding|I know your name. They say you are a most valiant warrior. I can only hope that your honour and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_female_noble_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_noble_martial|I do not recognize the device on your banner, but clearly you are a lady of rank. Please consider me your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on that banner. Clearly another foreigner come to our lands, bringing their strange ways. str_comment_intro_female_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a noble's banner, but I do not recognize the device... You should know, lady, that in Calradia it is the men to ride to war, and if you seek to overturn the natural order of things, you will find your fair head stuck on a pike -- like that of any other rebel! str_comment_intro_female_noble_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Calradia, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_noble_sadistic|You appear to be of noble rank, but I don't recognize your banner. Clearly, another foreigner come to our shores -- no doubt from a land where men are weak, and the women ride to war in their place! str_comment_intro_female_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance,, my lady! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_noble_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, my lady, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that women be untouched by these wars, as I believe the female to be the custodian of what little gentility and tenderness remains to us. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_martial|Greetings, my lady. Although I see from your demeanor that you are not a conventional maiden, I hope that you are not averse to a declaration of admiration from me, your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|Heh. Fancy this -- a maiden, all equipped for war. Well, it's a strange sight, but in your case, I can imagine that it might grow on me. str_comment_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|It is unusual to see a woman girt for war. Be careful, my lady -- it is a harsh world, and it would be a shame to see such beauty marred by a sword-blow. str_comment_intro_female_cunning_admiring|Greetings, my lady. Please do not think it forward, if I say that it is unusual to see a woman caparisoned for war. I hope that one day I may be the father of a daughter possessed of such bravery and spirit. str_comment_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|What have we here! A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I dare say that one as fair as you could lend a touch of femininity even to a mail hauberk. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_goodnatured|My lady, if you are skilled as arms as you are fair in countenance, then your enemies should indeed fear you! str_comment_intro_female_admiring_upstanding|Greetings, my lady. Even with the dust of the march upon your clothes and gear, I can see that you are not lacking in the graces of your noble sex. str_comment_intro_female_common_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_common_martial|I must say, my lady -- do be careful, riding about this dangerous land. If you ever wished to seek a more... em... settled life, I'm sure I could find you a worthy husband from among my men. str_comment_intro_female_common_badtempered|By the way, girl -- does your husband know that you nicked his weapons and armor? I'll bet you're in for a right old beating when you get home! str_comment_intro_female_common_pitiless|These are fallen times indeed, when even women turn brigand, to pick the leavings from the wreckage of war. str_comment_intro_female_common_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Calradia, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_common_sadistic|A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I suppose that you're no more womanly than most of those in my service who call themselves warriors. str_comment_intro_female_common_goodnatured|From the look of you, I suppose you can handle yourself, but do be careful out there, my lady. str_comment_intro_female_common_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, my lady, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that women be untouched by these wars, as I believe the female to be the custodian of what little gentility and tenderness remains to us. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_badtempered|I won my weapons in battle. Would you care to test their edge? str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_sadistic|Never mind my country. Here in Calradia, it seems, dogs lead men to war. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_sadistic|And you, sir, are no more bestial than my horse. str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_pitiless|I would restore the natural order, so that you no longer speak from your arse. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_pitiless|Indeed, these are fallen times, when brigands call themselves 'Lord'. str_rejoinder_intro_noble_sadistic|Maybe now I'll take your banner. And your cattle. And your life. str_rejoinder_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|I would be delighted to mar your handsome nose, sir. str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_upstanding|Would you like to feel the tenderness of my steel? str_rejoinder_intro_female_noble_upstanding|Would you like to feel the tenderness of my steel? str_rejoinder_intro_female_common_martial|I could find worthier husbands than those in a kennel. str_rejoinder_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|You could add a touch of humanity to a horse's harness, but just a touch. str_rejoinder_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|If you're disturbed by the sight of me, I'd be pleased to put out your eyes. str_comment_you_raided_my_village_enemy_benevolent|You have attacked innocent farmers under my protection in the village of {s51}.

I pray that this is not true, for such conduct does dishonour to us all. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_upstanding|They say that you fled from {s54}, leaving your men behind. I do not always believe such rumors, and I also know that desperate straits call for desperate measures. But I beg you to take more care of your good name, for men will not fight in our armies if they hear that we abandon them on the field of battle. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_spiteful|By the way, they said that you ran away from {s54} like a quaking little rabbit, leaving your men behind to be butchered. Ha!

But I will be a truer test of your skill at arms. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_friendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}. I hope that you squeezed him for every denar. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}. Your coffers must be well-bloated with ransom by now. Such a pity that money cannot transform a low-born cur into a gentleman! str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|I heard that you captured {s54}. Well done. I assume, of course, that he has been been treated with the honours due his rank. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied|I heard that you captured {s54}. Well done. His ransom must be worth quite something. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Such chivalry does a credit to our cause. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_upstanding|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Well, that was an honourable course of action, if possibly also a dangerous one. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_coldblooded|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. That was most chivalrous of you, but chivalry does not win wars. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go.

But we are still enemies, and I cannot promise to repay your mercy in kind. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. That was kind of you.

Normally I travel between the salt mines and the slave markets on the coast, on commission from those whose relatives have gone missing. But if I'm out on my errands of mercy, and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two, well, there's no harm in a little speculative investment, is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_families|What if their families can't pay? dlga_ransom_broker_families ransom_broker_info_talk|Oh, then I spin them a few heartwarming tales of life on the galleys. You'd be surprised what sorts of treasures a peasant can dig out of his cowshed or wheedle out of his cousins, assuming he's got the proper motivation! And if in the end they cannot come up with the silver, then there are always slave merchants who are looking for galley slaves. One cannot do Heaven's work with an empty purse, you see. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_prices|What can I get for a prisoner? dlga_ransom_broker_prices ransom_broker_info_talk|It varies. I fancy that I have a fine eye for assessing a ransom. There are a dozen little things about a man that will tell you whether he goes to bed hungry, or dines each night on soft dumplings and goose. The real money of course is in the gentry, and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in the Isles, their estates, their heraldry, their offspring both lawful and bastard, and, of course, their credit with the merchants. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_ransom_me|Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_me ransom_broker_info_talk|Of course.

As a result, there's seldom a break to the bitter wars which plague this land and drain its life blood. Well, at least this must be a good place to be for an adventurer such as yourself. With some luck and skill, you can make a name for yourself here, amass a fortune perhaps, or gain great power.

You seem to be doing pretty well. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a|The kingdoms will pay good money for mercenaries if they are engaged in a war. If you have done a bit of fighting, speaking with one of their lords will probably result in being offered a mercenary contract. However the real rewards come if you can manage to become a vassal to a king. A vassal can own villages, castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally, only nobles of the realm own land in this way, but in time of war, a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg59?herself himself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg59?her him} the right to own land. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a king altogether, declare themselves kings, and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path, however, as the great nobles of the land, with their long ancestries, are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule, or they would be set upon from all sides. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5|It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival. There are many such pretenders in these lands -- those who are born to the right family, who go around and stir up trouble saying they have a better claim to the throne than the current king. If those claim holders could find supporters, they could easily start civil wars and perhaps even replace the king one day. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6|Interesting.

Thank you. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6 tavern_traveler_pretalk|A claim holder's life would be in danger in his own country of course.

It is short enough to be easily learned. It is an allegoric poem, replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry, becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- it is appreciated by some noble {reg59?lords ladies}, but not all. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.1|I can teach you the poem, 'The Heart's Desire.' It is a lyrical poem, which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to {reg59?men who are good natured and pure women of a certain romantic temperament}, but you risk scandalizing or boring others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.2|I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other, but they can never marry. The poem is Kais' lament as he wanders alone, unwilling to forget his true love, driving himself mad with longing. Some {reg59?men enjoy the sweetness of his sorrors, especially those of good nature ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows}; others glaze over at his self-pity. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.3|I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara. It is a heroic tale, full of blood and battle. The shieldmaiden Kara chooses the warrior Helgered as her lover, as he is the only man who can defeat her in combat. Her father, who pledged her to another, comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight, and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who, alas, grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. {reg59?I find even though most martial men don't like the depiction of women warriors, there is still enough blood and action to appeal to them. It is also enjoyed by men of action, however it still shocks and repulses many others The depiction of warrior and shieldmaiden as equals will appeal to some women, but a mail-wearing, blood-spattered heroine will shock and repulse others}. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.4|I can teach you the poem, 'An Argument in the Garden.' It is a comic poem, which satirizes the conventions of courtly love. A lover steals into a garden in Veluca, and plies her with lots of witty lines to persuade his lover to submit to his embraces. She shoots down all of his advances one by one, then when he is downcast, she takes him in her arms and tells him that she wanted him all along, except on her terms, not his. {reg59?

In these lands, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman, and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart. dlga_minstrel_nobles_2 minstrel_nobles_3|Fathers differ, of course. Some nobles will let their daughters choose a husband who pleases them. Others, however, feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority, and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not. dlga_minstrel_nobles_3 minstrel_prequestions|But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom, but will weigh their daughter's preferences heavily. Among other factors, a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So, there is a place for courtship, and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_daughter_father|What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor? dlga_minstrel_daughter_father minstrel_daughter_father_2|It happens sometimes that a bride elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige, leading to lasting enmities. Indeed, it is possible that a war may be fought over a woman. Now, that is a fine topic for a song. dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2 minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most brides will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk its disapproval for the sake of man she barely knows. She may pine for her lover, but still accept the groom -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about? dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Some lords make a great deal of lineage, but in the end, lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner, if you are coming up in the world, then many parents will consider you a fine catch. dlga_minstrel_player_role_2 minstrel_player_role_3|You will have to compete with many other lords of your realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these ladies from childhood, and will have been sized up as grooms by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some ladies may be fascinated by the stranger, yet opt for the familiar. dlga_minstrel_player_role_3 minstrel_prequestions|So know this -- you may have your heart broken. But to enter the arena of love fearing heartbreak is like entering the battlefield fearing the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off the sting of rejection, and victory may yet be yours. dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_female_player_3|Lady -- I will speak bluntly. Most of the lords of this land are looking for a demure maiden, whose skin as fair as snow -- and your skin is burnt brown by the sun. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells -- and your voice is hoarse from commanding men in battle. Also, although the lords appreciate poems about love, most also want heirs, and few women can ride and fight while with child. dlga_minstrel_female_player_3 minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will be so conventionally minded. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed the chance for love. I would not tell you that it would be easy for you to find a devoted husband who will accept your ways, but I would not say that it is impossible. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg59?husband wife}? dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family, and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage. dlga_minstrel_wife_benefits_2 minstrel_prequestions|What's more, most of the great families of these Isles have at some point intermarried with royalty, which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it... dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2.1|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties, and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet minstrel_player_advice_meet_2|Every so often, a king or great lord will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. The feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters, and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet_2 minstrel_prequestions|If you have the opportunity, you may attempt to pay the lady a compliment. This indicates to her that you are a potential suitor, and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally, if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt, then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo minstrel_player_advice_woo_2|To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience, and several meetings spaced over a period of months. A lady who is interested in you will often find ways of letting you know if she wishes you to come visit her. Alternately, you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian, it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_2 minstrel_player_advice_woo_3|Having arranged an assignment, you may then attempt to charm her and win her favor. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this is finding a topic of conversation. Most noblewomen lead a cloistered life, at least until they are married, and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand, she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_3 minstrel_player_advice_woo_4|One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem, and discuss it. This way, you are both on an equal footing, and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course, different ladies will have different tastes in poetry. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_4 minstrel_player_advice_woo_5|At some point, you will be able to discuss directly the issue of marriage. She will then let you know if you measure up to what she wants in a husband. Some ladies will coolly assess who is the most prestigious of her suitors, others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions, to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal, while others will follow the lead of their fathers. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_5 minstrel_prequestions|At any rate, it is a challenging business -- and do not forget, you may find that your suit prospers with a lady, only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately, are you willing to throw away your standing in society, to make enemies of allies, in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are, then perhaps some day we will write poems about you. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_job_description|What is it that you poets and musicians do again? dlga_minstrel_job_description minstrel_courtship_prequestions|I compose and write songs for the lords of the land, and their ladies.

Please {reg59?madam sir}, you look like a {reg59?woman man} of valor and a fearsome warrior, and you have no doubt many friends and soldiers at your service.

You look like another adventurer who has come to try {his/her} chance in these lands. Well, trust my word, you won't be able to survive long here unless you know how to fight yourself out of a tight spot. dlga_trainer_intro_1 trainer_intro_2|Thank you for your advice. This place looks like a training field. Maybe I can learn about fighting here? dlga_trainer_intro_2 trainer_intro_3|Indeed you can. I am a veteran soldier... fought a good deal in the wars in my time. But these days, I train young novices in this area. I can find you some opponents to practice with if you like. Or if you have any questions about the theory of combat, feel free to ask. dlga_trainer_intro_3 trainer_intro_4a|Yes, I do have a few questions. dlga_trainer_intro_3 trainer_intro_4b|Actually, I can move on to practice. dlga_trainer_intro_4a trainer_talk_combat|Well, ask anything you like. dlga_trainer_intro_4b trainer_practice_1|Good. It's good to find someone eager for practice. Let's see what you will do. dlga_start trainer_practice_1|That was a good fight. dlga_start trainer_practice_1.1|Ha! Looks like you've developed a bit of a limp there. Don't worry, even losses have their value, provided you learn from them. Shake the stars out of your eyes and get back in there. There's no other way to win. dlga_start trainer_talk|Good day. Ready for some training today? dlga_trainer_pretalk trainer_talk|Ah, are you ready for some training? dlga_trainer_talk trainer_practice_1|I am ready for some practice. dlga_trainer_talk trainer_combat_begin|First, tell me something about combat... dlga_trainer_talk close_window|I need to leave now. Farewell. dlga_trainer_combat_begin trainer_talk_combat|What do you want to know? dlga_trainer_combat_pretalk trainer_talk_combat|What else do you want to know? dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_defense|Tell me about defending myself. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_attack|Tell me about attacking with weapons. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_explain_horseback|Tell me about fighting on horseback. dlga_trainer_talk_combat trainer_pretalk|I guess I know all the theory I need. Let's talk about something else. dlga_trainer_explain_defense trainer_explain_defense_2|Good question. The first thing you should know as a fighter is how to defend yourself. Keeping yourself out of harm's way is the first rule of combat, and it is much more important than giving harm to others. Everybody can swing a sword around and hope to cut some flesh, but only those fighters that are experts at defense live to tell of it. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_2 trainer_explain_defense_3|Now. Defending yourself is easiest if you are equipped with a shield. Just block with your shield. [Hold down the right mouse button to defend yourself with the shield.] In this state, you will be able to deflect all attacks that come from your front. However, you will still be open to strikes from your sides or your back. dlga_trainer_explain_defense_3 trainer_explain_defense_4|What if I don't have a shield? dlga_trainer_explain_defense_4 trainer_combat_pretalk|Then you will have to use your weapon to block your opponent. This is a bit more difficult than defending with a shield. Defending with a weapon, you can block against only ONE attack direction. That is, you block against either overhead swings, side swings or thrusts. Therefore you must watch your opponent carefully and start to block AFTER he starts his attack. In this way you will be able to block against the direction of his current attack. If you start to block BEFORE he makes his move, he may just attack in another direction than the one you are blocking against and score a hit. dlga_trainer_explain_attack trainer_explain_attack_2|Good question. Attacking is the best defence, they say. A tactic many fighters find useful is taking an offensive stance and readying your weapon for attack, waiting for the right moment for swinging it. [You can ready your weapon for attack by pressing and holding down the left mouse button.] dlga_trainer_explain_attack_2 trainer_explain_attack_3|That sounds useful. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_3 trainer_explain_attack_4|It is a good tactic, but remember that, your opponent may see that and take a defensive stance against the direction you are swinging your weapon. If that happens, you must break your attack and quickly attack from another direction [You may cancel your current attack by quickly tapping the right mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_4 trainer_explain_attack_5|If my opponent is defending against the direction I am attacking from, I will break and use another direction. dlga_trainer_explain_attack_5 trainer_combat_pretalk|Yes, selecting the direction you swing your weapon is a crucial skill. There are four main directions you may use right swing, left swing, overhead swing and thrust. You must use each one wisely. [to control your swing direction with default controls, move your mouse in the direction you want to swing from as you press the left mouse button]. dlga_trainer_explain_horseback trainer_combat_pretalk|Very good question. A horse may be a warrior's most powerful weapon in combat. It gives you speed, height, power and initiative. A lot of deadly weapons will become even deadlier on horseback. However you must pay particular attention to horse-mounted enemies couching their lances, as they may take down any opponent in one hit. [To use the couched lance yourself, wield a lance or similar weapon, and speed up your horse without pressing attack or defense buttons. after you reach a speed, you'll lower your lance. Then try to target your enemies by maneuvering your horse.] dlga_trainer_practice_1 trainer_practice_1|I train novices in four stages, each tougher than the one before. To finish a stage and advance to the next one, you have to win three fights in a row. dlga_trainer_practice_1 novicemaster_are_you_ready|You have passed all stages of training.

Welcome to the third training level. From now on your opponents will be veteran fighters; soldiers and arena regulars and the like. These guys know some dirty tricks, so keep your defense up. dlga_trainer_practice_1 trainer_practice_1.3|You've got the heart of a champion, {lad/lass}, and the sword arm to match.

Do you require anything else? dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_accounts|Let's go over the accounts. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_pretalk|Let's check the inventories. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_pretalk.1|I'd like you to sell goods as they are produced. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_pretalk.2|I'd like you to keep all goods in the warehouse until I arrive. dlga_master_craftsman_accounts master_craftsman_pretalk|We currently produce {s3} worth {reg1} coins each week, while the quantity of {s4} needed to manufacture it costs {reg2}, and labor and upkeep are {reg3}.{s9} This means that we theoretically make a {s12} of {reg0} coins a week, assuming that we have no raw materials in the inventories, and that we sell directly to the market. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_production_options|Could you explain my options related to production? dlga_master_craftsman_production_options master_craftsman_production_options_2|Certainly, my {reg59?lady lord}. Most of the time, the most profitable thing for you to do would be to let us buy raw materials and sell the finished goods directly to the market. Because of our longstanding relations with the local merchants, we can usually get a very good price. dlga_master_craftsman_production_options_2 master_craftsman_pretalk|However, if you find that you can acquire raw materials cheaper outside {s5}, you may place them in the inventories, and we will use them instead of buying from the market. Likewise, if you feel that you can get a better price for the finished goods elsewhere, then you may ask us to deposit what we produce in our warehouses for you to take. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_auction_price|It will no longer be possible for me to continue operating this enterprise. dlga_master_craftsman_auction_price master_craftsman_auction_decide|A pity, my {reg59?lady lord}. If we sell the land and the equipment, and liquidate the inventories, I estimate that we can get {reg4} coins. dlga_master_craftsman_auction_decide master_craftsman_liquidation|That sounds reasonable. Please proceed with the sale. dlga_master_craftsman_auction_decide master_craftsman_pretalk|Hmm. Let's hold off on that. dlga_master_craftsman_liquidation close_window|As you wish.

You are the lord of this town, and no one is going to stop you. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_investment|Well... Given your relationship with our liege, {s4}, I think that you will not find many here who are brave enough to sell you any land. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_pretalk.2|Well... To be honest, I think that we in the guild would like to know you a little better. We can be very particular about outsiders coming in here and buying land. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_investment_advice.2|Very good, {reg59?my lady sir}. We in the guild know and trust you, and I think I could find someone to sell you the land you need. dlga_mayor_investment_advice investment_choose_enterprise|A couple of things to keep in mind -- skilled laborers are always at a premium, so I doubt that you will be able to open up more than one enterprise here. In order to make a profit for yourself, you should choose a commodity which is in relatively short supply, but for which the raw materials are cheap. What sort of enterprise would you like to start? dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary|A mill and bakery, to make bread from grain dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.1|A brewery, to make ale from grain dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.2|A tannery, to make leather from hides dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.3|A wine press, to make wine from grapes dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.4|Tar ovens, to make tar dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.5|An ironworks, to make tools or weapons from iron dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.6|A lumber mill, to make timber pallets dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.7|A weavery, to make wool cloth from wool dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.8|A weavery, to make linen from flax dlga_investment_choose_enterprise mayor_pretalk|Never mind dlga_investment_summary mayor_investment_confirm|Very good, {reg59?my lady sir}. The land and the materials on which you may build your {s3} will cost you {reg7} coins.

I can help you find a job if you are looking for some honest work. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_info_lord|Who rules this town? dlga_mayor_info_lord mayor_info_talk|Our town's lord and protector is {s10}. He owns the castle and sometimes resides there, and collects taxes from the town. However we regulate ourselves in most of the matters that concern ourselves. As the town's guildmaster I have the authority to decide those things. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_mayor_political_talk mayor_political_questions|Politics? Good heaven, the guild has nothing to do with politics. We are loyal servants of {s10}. We merely govern our own affairs, and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters, and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway, what did you wish to ask? dlga_mayor_prepolitics mayor_political_questions|Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else? dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_war_description_1|What is the cause of all these wars here? dlga_mayor_war_description_1 mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the only one that can unite these Islands under a single nation, as in the times of Rome. Some of these claims are based on a forgotten dream and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} Saxons are here for one purpose, to conqure and burn! So regardless, any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time. dlga_mayor_war_description_2 mayor_war_description_3|In practice, to make war is exhausting work. It is easy enough to lay waste to the enemy's farmland, but crops will grow back, and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of these lands will fight a little, sign a truce, fight a little more, and so on and so forth. Often, a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times, some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution, and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10}, as no one would ever question {reg4?her his} authority dlga_mayor_war_description_3 mayor_war_description_4|I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters, as a loyal subject, I would tell {reg4?her him} that while {reg4?her his} claim to all these lands is truly just, even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men, and armed men want money, and money comes from trade, and war ruins trade, so sometimes the best way to push a claim is not to push it, if you know what I mean... dlga_mayor_war_description_4 mayor_prepolitics|You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion, of course, as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her his} legitimate claims. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_politics_assess|What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other kingdoms? dlga_mayor_politics_assess mayor_politics_assess_realm|Which realm did you have in mind? dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment|{s11} dlga_mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment mayor_prepolitics|{s14} dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_internal_politics|What can you say about the internal politics of the realms? dlga_mayor_internal_politics mayor_internal_politics_2|Well, here in the {s4} we are all united by our love for {s5} and support for {reg4?her his} legitimate claim to the rulership of all these lands. But I have heard some talk of internal bickering in other realms... dlga_mayor_internal_politics_2 mayor_internal_politics_3|The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor, strategy, and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition, they compete with each other for the ruler's favor, and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand, how their friends and family stand, and how their enemies stand. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_3 mayor_internal_politics_4|Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege, and pledge vassalhood to another. In theory, each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage, but in practice, a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain, to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or, the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper, and another has a better claim to the kingship. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_4 mayor_internal_politics_5|Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel, he may indict the vassal for treason and seize his properties. Likewise, if a vassal fears that he will be indicted, he may rebel.

You look like you've had a bit of experience with a blade -- and more importantly, you must have a bit of fire in your belly, or you wouldn't be coming to these lands to seek your fortune. So here's what I'm asking you to do gather a small party, track down these bandits to their lair, teach them a lesson they won't forget, and get my brother back safe. In return, you'll earn my lasting gratitude and a bit of silver. What do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_1a merchant_quest_1b.1|I am interested. dlga_merchant_quest_1a close_window|I am not interested, have more important business to do. dlga_merchant_quest_1b merchant_quest_1c.1|You won't be able to do this by yourself, though. If you try and take on the whole gang singlehandedly, the hunter will become the hunted, I'll warrant. You'll first want to round up a group of volunteers. There's always a few lads in the villages around here, looking for a bit of work that's more interesting than tilling the soil or hauling water. They'll follow you if you pay. So... Take this purse of 100 coins. Consider it an advance on your reward. Go round to the villages, and use the money to hire some help. I'll reckon that you need at least five men to take on these bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_1c merchant_quest_1d|Very good, sir. I'll go collect some men from around the villages. dlga_merchant_quest_1d close_window|Good. You can find me again in the tavern here in {s1} after you've got your group together.

原文 NifSkope/Change texture This is a tutorial that teaches you how to use NifSkope to change the textures stored in NIF files. Some games don t store their textures in the NIF file, but most do and this will allow you to change them and create a new NIF file with different textures for those games. NifSkope/Change texture Open the NIF file Select the Shape Graphically Finding the Texture in the List Change the Texture Filename Enabling Alpha Open the NIF file First you need to open your NIF file. You can do this by choosing File Load from the menu or clicking the Load button and browsing for the file you want to open. #ref error :ご指定のページがありません。ページ名を確認して再度指定してください。 #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_load_button.gif) If all goes well, you should now see your 3D model in the render window. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture1.jpg) If you can t see any textures, make sure you have your texture directories set properly. You might also look under the Render menu and make sure Texturing is checked. Remember also, some games like DAOC often don t store the textures in the NIF file. Instead the game engine adds them. So it may not be possible to change the textures in these games using NifSkope. If you can t see anything at all, make sure Render Hide non textured is not checked and try zooming in and out and moving the camera around to try to see if the mesh is just somewhere outside the view area. Select the Shape NIF files can contain more than one 3D shape, and more than one texture. You need to find the one that you want to change. There are two ways to do this; graphically or by finding it in the list. Graphically Move, zoom, and rotate the 3D view so that you can see the area you want to re-texture and click it. If you don t understand how, read about the render window camera controls. You will see the shape you clicked become highlighted by a green wireframe. If you have selected the wrong area, just try again until you find the spot you want. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture2.jpg) When you highlighted the object in the 3D view, the geometry object that defines it was also automatically highlighted in the Block List window on the left. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture3.jpg) This should be either a NiTriShape or a NiTriStrips object. Click the [+] icon on the left side of it; several sub-objects will appear. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture4.jpg) One of these sub-objects will be a NiTexturingProperty object. Click the [+] icon to the left of this NiTexturingProperty block to expose its NiSourceTexture object. This is the one you have been looking for and will have a purple flower icon across from it in the Value column. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture5.jpg) Note that some objects may have more than one of these. The first one will usually be the "base" or "color" texture... that s the standard texture that you probably want to change. The following ones could be other types of textures like glow maps, gloss maps, etc. You can also change these using the same methods if you want, but usually it will be the first one you want to change. Now continue on to the section about changing the texture file name. Finding the Texture in the List If you know the name of the texture you want to change, you can try to find it in the list rather than searching for it graphically. First, turn on list display by choosing View Block List Options List #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture6.jpg) The Block List window now shows a list of every object in the NIF file. NiSourceTexture objects hold the texturing information. They are easy to spot in the list because they have a purple flower icon. Scroll up and down the list until you see the texture you want to change in the Value column. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture7.jpg) Change the Texture Filename Now that you have located the NiSourceTexture object that contains your texture, either graphically or by finding it in the list, you can now change the texture. The purple flower icon I pointed out before is magical. If you click it, the Texture Choose spell will be invoked! In other words, a standard browse window will appear and you can choose your new texture. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture8.jpg) You should now see your new texture on the 3D model! #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture10.jpg) Once you ve picked your texture, you may need to fix the path a bit, especially if you haven t set your NifSkope texture folders properly. To do this, double click on the texture path itself; the words to the right of the purple flower. An edit box will appear, allowing you to change the texture path however you like. Press the Enter key when finished. Some words on the texture path. The general rule is, if you have your texture folders set properly so you can see the textures in the 3D view, and have extracted your textures to a similar folder structure as is used by your game and have stored your new texture there, the flower icon will magically know the proper path to use. However, it does not have knowledge about your game, so if you did anything differently you will have to find out what kind of path your game uses to make sure you re doing it right. The easiest way to do this is to look at the path your changing and copy and paste it somewhere or write it down. If the original path starts with textures\, then your new path needs to start with textures\ too. Similarly, if the original path just contains the name of the texture file and no folder names, that s what your new path needs to do. Never release a NIF file that has paths starting with the drive letter ( C \, D \, etc.). These will only work on your machine or others who have installed the game exactly the same way. Always make sure your paths follow the example of the original paths. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture9.jpg) All that s left is to save the NIF file with a new name. Chose File Save or click the Save button. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_save.jpg) Enabling Alpha Sometimes you want to use a texture that has some see-through parts. Alpha-enabled objects are expensive for the game engine to calculate, so you are required to flag objects that use alpha with a NiAlphaProperty. Each 3D mesh in your NIF file that uses the see-through texture will need to be flagged with this property. First, select the object in the 3D view as discussed above in the graphical method. Again, the NiTriShape or NiTriStrips object will be automatically selected in the Block List window. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture3.jpg) Now right-click the selected NiTriShape or NiTriStrips line in the Block List window. The spell menu will appear. There are quite a few spells you can cast on this mesh! The one you want to choose is Node Attach Property. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture11.jpg) When you click Attach Property a new menu will appear. This is the list of all the properties that exist. You want to add alpha (transparency or see-through parts), so choose the first one; NiAlphaProperty. #ref error :ご指定のファイルが見つかりません。ファイル名を確認して、再度指定してください。 (Nifskope_change_texture12.jpg) That s all there is to it! A new NiAlphaProperty with default settings will be created and selected in the Block List view. If you want to tweak the exact way that transparency is displayed, you can alter the values showing in the Block Detail window below, but this usually isn t necessary. So now, all that remains is to repeat the steps above for any other 3D shapes in your NIF file that need to have Alpha enabled, and save the NIF file with a new name.

http //www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1064909.html Always on the side of the egg By Haruki Murakami I have come to Jerusalem today as a novelist, which is to say as a professional spinner of lies. Of course, novelists are not the only ones who tell lies. Politicians do it, too, as we all know. Diplomats and military men tell their own kinds of lies on occasion, as do used car salesmen, butchers and builders. The lies of novelists differ from others, however, in that no one criticizes the novelist as immoral for telling them. Indeed, the bigger and better his lies and the more ingeniously he creates them, the more he is likely to be praised by the public and the critics. Why should that be? My answer would be this Namely, that by telling skillful lies - which is to say, by making up fictions that appear to be true - the novelist can bring a truth out to a new location and shine a new light on it. In most cases, it is virtually impossible to grasp a truth in its original form and depict it accurately. This is why we try to grab its tail by luring the truth from its hiding place, transferring it to a fictional location, and replacing it with a fictional form. In order to accomplish this, however, we first have to clarify where the truth lies within us. This is an important qualification for making up good lies. Today, however, I have no intention of lying. I will try to be as honest as I can. There are a few days in the year when I do not engage in telling lies, and today happens to be one of them. So let me tell you the truth. A fair number of people advised me not to come here to accept the Jerusalem Prize. Some even warned me they would instigate a boycott of my books if I came. The reason for this, of course, was the fierce battle that was raging in Gaza. The UN reported that more than a thousand people had lost their lives in the blockaded Gaza City, many of them unarmed citizens - children and old people. Any number of times after receiving notice of the award, I asked myself whether traveling to Israel at a time like this and accepting a literary prize was the proper thing to do, whether this would create the impression that I supported one side in the conflict, that I endorsed the policies of a nation that chose to unleash its overwhelming military power. This is an impression, of course, that I would not wish to give. I do not approve of any war, and I do not support any nation. Neither, of course, do I wish to see my books subjected to a boycott. Finally, however, after careful consideration, I made up my mind to come here. One reason for my decision was that all too many people advised me not to do it. Perhaps, like many other novelists, I tend to do the exact opposite of what I am told. If people are telling me - and especially if they are warning me - "don t go there," "don t do that," I tend to want to "go there" and "do that." It s in my nature, you might say, as a novelist. Novelists are a special breed. They cannot genuinely trust anything they have not seen with their own eyes or touched with their own hands. And that is why I am here. I chose to come here rather than stay away. I chose to see for myself rather than not to see. I chose to speak to you rather than to say nothing. This is not to say that I am here to deliver a political message. To make judgments about right and wrong is one of the novelist s most important duties, of course. It is left to each writer, however, to decide upon the form in which he or she will convey those judgments to others. I myself prefer to transform them into stories - stories that tend toward the surreal. Which is why I do not intend to stand before you today delivering a direct political message. Please do, however, allow me to deliver one very personal message. It is something that I always keep in mind while I am writing fiction. I have never gone so far as to write it on a piece of paper and paste it to the wall Rather, it is carved into the wall of my mind, and it goes something like this "Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg." 高くて堅い壁があり、それに向って壊れる卵があるとき、私は常に卵の側に立ちたい。 Yes, no matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg. Someone else will have to decide what is right and what is wrong; perhaps time or history will decide. If there were a novelist who, for whatever reason, wrote works standing with the wall, of what value would such works be? そうです。たとえ壁が正しく卵が間違っていたとしても、私は卵の側に立ちたい。ほかの方々は、何が正しくて何が間違っているかを決めるべきだというかもしれませんが、たぶんそれは時間と歴史が決めるでしょう。いかなる理由であっても、小説家が壁の側に立って作品を書くならば、その作品にはいったいどんな価値があるというのでしょうか? What is the meaning of this metaphor? In some cases, it is all too simple and clear. Bombers and tanks and rockets and white phosphorus shells are that high, solid wall. The eggs are the unarmed civilians who are crushed and burned and shot by them. This is one meaning of the metaphor. この比喩の意味は何でしょうか? 場合によっては、それは単純で明確すぎるほどです。爆撃機に、戦車に、ロケットに、白リン弾、これらが高くて堅い壁にあたります。卵は、それらの兵器によって砕かれ燃やされ撃たれる、武装してない市民のことです。これが比喩の一つの意味です。 This is not all, though. It carries a deeper meaning. Think of it this way. Each of us is, more or less, an egg. Each of us is a unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell. This is true of me, and it is true of each of you. And each of us, to a greater or lesser degree, is confronting a high, solid wall. The wall has a name It is The System. The System is supposed to protect us, but sometimes it takes on a life of its own, and then it begins to kill us and cause us to kill others - coldly, efficiently, systematically. しかしこれが意味の全てではありません。もっと深い意味を導きます。次のように考えてください。多かれ少なかれ、私たち一人一人が卵です。私たち一人一人は、個性的で他人と取り替えることが出来ない精神を、壊れやすい殻の中に閉じ込めています。私もそうです。みなさん一人一人もそうです。私たち一人一人は、激しいかそうでないか程度の差はあれ、高くて堅い壁に立ち向かっています。その壁は、システムという名をもっています。システムは私たちを守ろうともしますが、時としてシステム自身が一人歩きを始め、やがて私たちを殺したり、私たちを殺しに差し向けたりし始めます、---冷徹に、効率的に、そしてシステマチックに。 I have only one reason to write novels, and that is to bring the dignity of the individual soul to the surface and shine a light upon it. The purpose of a story is to sound an alarm, to keep a light trained on The System in order to prevent it from tangling our souls in its web and demeaning them. I fully believe it is the novelist s job to keep trying to clarify the uniqueness of each individual soul by writing stories - stories of life and death, stories of love, stories that make people cry and quake with fear and shake with laughter. This is why we go on, day after day, concocting fictions with utter seriousness. My father died last year at the age of 90. He was a retired teacher and a part-time Buddhist priest. When he was in graduate school, he was drafted into the army and sent to fight in China. As a child born after the war, I used to see him every morning before breakfast offering up long, deeply-felt prayers at the Buddhist altar in our house. One time I asked him why he did this, and he told me he was praying for the people who had died in the war. He was praying for all the people who died, he said, both ally and enemy alike. Staring at his back as he knelt at the altar, I seemed to feel the shadow of death hovering around him. My father died, and with him he took his memories, memories that I can never know. But the presence of death that lurked about him remains in my own memory. It is one of the few things I carry on from him, and one of the most important. I have only one thing I hope to convey to you today. We are all human beings, individuals transcending nationality and race and religion, fragile eggs faced with a solid wall called The System. To all appearances, we have no hope of winning. The wall is too high, too strong - and too cold. If we have any hope of victory at all, it will have to come from our believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others souls and from the warmth we gain by joining souls together. Take a moment to think about this. Each of us possesses a tangible, living soul. The System has no such thing. We must not allow The System to exploit us. We must not allow The System to take on a life of its own. The System did not make us We made The System. That is all I have to say to you. I am grateful to have been awarded the Jerusalem Prize. I am grateful that my books are being read by people in many parts of the world. And I am glad to have had the opportunity to speak to you here today. 外国報道
