  dlga_start quigfen_intro|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. To what do I owe your interest? dlga_start quest_offered|You seem to wish to befriend the Noldor. However, you must prove your good intentions in order to gain their trust. There is a marauding Jatu army roaming the Laria woods, attacking Noldor patrols, searching for their hidden castle. If you can defeat it, the Noldor will be very grateful for your help. What do you say? dlga_start response_success|My friends in the woods tell me you have destroyed the marauding Jatu! In addition to 3000 denars, you are now granted access to Elacrai, the hidden Noldor castle on the north shore of the lake in the woods of Laria. dlga_response_success quigfen_process_1|I'm glad to have been of assistance and will surely look for the castle. dlga_quest_offered quest_taken|Very well. I will destroy the Jatu army. dlga_quest_taken close_window|Very good. Remember that the Noldor have unique ways of expressing gratitude. dlga_quest_offered quigfen_process_1|Sorry. I don't have time for this right now. dlga_start quigfen_response_1|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. I hope you have fared well since our last meeting. dlga_quigfen_intro quigfen_intro_2|You strike me as somehow out of place. Who are you and what do you do? dlga_quigfen_response_1 quigfen_process_1|I have indeed Quigfen, thank you for asking. I am here to discuss business. dlga_quigfen_intro_2 quigfen_intro_3_talk|To the point, I like that. I am called Quigfen, an odd name to your ears, of that there is no doubt, eh? As to who I am? Well, I am... a merchant of sorts. Perhaps in your language a Broker would be close to the truth of the matter. I stay here in Laria and sell Noldor goods to those who... how do we put this delicately? To those who are friendly to the Noldor and their plight. I sell arms, armor, and a variety of trinkets. I also at times broker the service of Noldor Rangers into the service of very select companies. I see that I have your interest. dlga_quigfen_intro_3_talk quigfen_process_1|Hmm... yes, I am interested. Tell me more. dlga_quigfen_process_1 quigfen_process_2|Remember, you must be on good terms with the Noldor to engage me in business. I offer you two choices. The first is to purchase from me Noldor armor and weapons. The second is to retain Noldor adventurers to fight by your side in your quest to unite this land and push back the followers of the Dark Goddess. dlga_quigfen_process_2 start|Tell me about the quest again. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_arms|I am interested in Noldor Arms and Armor. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_warrior|I am interested in hiring Noldor Adventurers. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_intro_2|What do you do again? dlga_quigfen_process_2 close_window|Neither, I must be going, perhaps later. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_process_2|It seems that the Noldor do not yet trust you enough to allow me to sell items to you. Go and improve your relationship with them and then return and we can do business. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_ending_trade|Ah, yes M'{reg63?Lord Lady}, here we are, the Noldor Emporium. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_arms_gem|Very well M'{reg63?Lord Lady}, do you have a Dragon Tear to open the store up with? dlga_quigfen_arms_gem quigfen_arms|Yes, here it is. dlga_quigfen_arms_gem quigfen_process_1|No, not with me. dlga_quigfen_warrior quigfen_process_2|It seems that the Noldor do not yet trust you enough to follow you in battle. Go and improve your relationship with them and then return. Perhaps then some of the Elven Warriors will join you. dlga_quigfen_warrior quigfen_warrior_gem|Very well M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. Do you have a Dragon Tear to sway the hearts of the elves to join you? Or maybe some of their rare pottery? dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose|Yes, I have Qualis Gem (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose.1|Yes, I have Qualis Gem and this beautiful vase (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window|Yes, but I don't want to trade it for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.1|Yes, but I don't want to trade them for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.2|No, not with me. dlga_quigfen_warrior_choose quigfen_warrior_select|Excellent. Please select one of the options below. dlga_quigfen_warrior_choose close_window|Excellent, but ... there is no room in your party. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade|{reg25}x Noldor Warrior. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.1|{reg26}x Noldor Ranger. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.2|{reg27}x Noldor Maiden Ranger. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.3|{reg28}x Noldor Noble. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.4|{reg29}x Noldor Twilight Knight. dlga_quigfen_ending_trade quigfen_process_2|Very good. Will there be anything else M'{reg63?Lord Lady}? dlga_start ransom_broker_intro|Greetings to you, {reg63?sir madam}. You look like someone who should get to know me. dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_intro_2|Why is that? dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_pretalk|Ah, I know of your sort already. No need to tell me who you are. dlga_ransom_broker_intro_2 ransom_broker_info_talk|I am with the local Red Brotherhood and I broker ransoms for the poor wretches who are captured in these endless wars. Normally I travel between the interior towns 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. ^^Additionally, I can let you hire some of the mercenaries we employ. In which some are veterans as well. For a lovely donation of course. 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 Pendor, 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. I'm welcome in every court in Pendor. There's not many who can say that! So always be sure to keep a pot of denars buried somewhere, and a loyal servant who can find it in a hurry. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_start ransom_broker_talk|Greetings. If you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you. Or I could organize some mercenaries, if needed. dlga_ransom_broker_pretalk ransom_broker_talk|Very well, if you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you. Or I could organize some mercenaries, if needed. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_rumors|Have you heard any rumors of interest? (Must pay 10 denars) dlga_ransom_broker_rumors ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus|{s3} -- Which reminds me - I have an opportunity to discuss if you are interested. dlga_ransom_broker_rumors ransom_broker_post_rumor|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troops|Perhaps, what is this opportunity? dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus close_window|No, I must leave now. dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troops ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response close_window|Yes, here are {reg41} denars, and I will take these people off your hands. dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response close_window.1|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor ransom_broker_pretalk|Very good, thank you. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_sell_prisoners|Then you'd better bring your purse. I have got prisoners to sell. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_all|I want to sell all my prisoners. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_intro_2|Tell me about what you do, again? dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_ransom_companion|I wish to ransom one of my companions. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose|Whom do you wish to ransom? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum|{s4} dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose ransom_broker_pretalk|Never mind dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify|Let me check my ledger, here... Yes. Your friend is being held in the dungeon at {s7}. How interesting! I remember hearing that the rats down there are unusually large -- like mastiffs, they say... Now... For the very reasonable sum of {reg5} denars, which includes both the ransom and my commission and expenses, we can arrange it so that {s5} can once again enjoy {reg4?her his} freedom. What do you say? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept|Here's your money. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse|I can't afford that right now. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept ransom_broker_talk|Splendid! In a few days, I would think, you should find {s5} riding to rejoin you, blinking in the sunlight and no doubt very grateful! Is there any other way in which I can help you? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse ransom_broker_talk|Of course, of course... Never mind what they say about the rats, by the way -- I've never actually seen one myself, on account of the pitch-black darkness. Anyway, I'm sure that {s5} will understand why it's important for you to control expenditures. Now... Was there anything else? dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1|Mercenaries you said? dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1 close_window|Indeed, the mercenaries I'm in contact with will work for admirable pay. Unfortunately, you have no space in your party. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2|Yes, indeed. ^^Yes, indeed. Hmm... You wouldn't by any chance have a gold bar in your inventory? If so, I can put it to far better use. A gold bar will convince mercenary captains I know to let you hire some of their best troops, but the price will remain high for them. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3|It just so happens that I do. [hand over gold bar] dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3.1|I don't seem to have any gold bars on me this moment. [lie] dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 close_window|I do have a gold bar. However, I feel that I can't part with it right now. Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3.2|No, I don't have any gold bars on me. Let's focus on those mercenaries you were talking about. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 close_window.1|I have to go. Goodbye. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4|I've reached out to one of my mercenary captain contacts who would be willing to let you hire {reg45?{reg34} men one man} for the price of {reg43} denars. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window|This deal is fair. Here is your {reg43} denars. Have them meet me outside the town. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window.1|Though this is a fair deal, it is such that I do not wish to spend this many denars. Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window.2|That is way too much! Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_special|What else do you offer? dlga_ransom_broker_special ransom_broker_special_1|I have amassed a surplus of stripped clothing of all those who have passed in my care. Most of it is ragged and torn, however I have some from ladies who were unfortunate to be traded. dlga_ransom_broker_special_1 ransom_broker_special_2|Actually I am looking for a gift for my lady. Show me what do you have. dlga_ransom_broker_special_1 close_window|Maybe next time. dlga_ransom_broker_special_2 ransom_broker_special_3|They're in the back, follow me. dlga_ransom_broker_special_3 ransom_broker_talk|Anything else? dlga_ransom_broker_talk close_window|Not at this time. Good-bye. dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what do you have... dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_all ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|I will be staying here for a few days. Let me know if you need my services. dlga_start tavern_background_talk|Greetings, friend. You look like the kind of {reg63?man person} who'd do well to know me. I travel a great deal all across Pendor, and keep an open ear for interesting information that you may find useful.^^ {s9} dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1|Yes, I will take on these two Bounty Hunters. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.1|No, that will not be necessary, thanks anyway. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.2|Thank you kindly for the tip. I may come back and ask about work. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.3|Thank you kindly for the information. That is good news indeed! dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.4|Thank you for your words. I must be going now. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.5|Yes, here is your gold. I trust you will keep silent? (You must pay 30 denars) dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.6|I will pay you nothing. Goodbye. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.7|That is nice to know. I should be leaving now, goodbye. dlga_start tavern_traveler_talk|Greetings, friend. You look like the kind of {reg63?man person} who'd do well to know me. I travel a great deal all across Pendor, and keep an open ear for interesting information that you may might find useful. {s9} dlga_start tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks|Greetings, {playername}. I saw your companion {s10} at a tavern in {s11} some days ago. I thought you might like to know. dlga_tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks tavern_traveler_pretalk|Thanks. I'll go and find {reg3?her him} there. dlga_tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks tavern_traveler_pretalk.1|Thanks, but I don't really care. dlga_start tavern_traveler_talk.1|Greetings, {playername}. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretalk tavern_traveler_talk|Yes? dlga_tavern_traveler_talk tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms|What can you tell me about this land? dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2|Pendor is divided into rival kingdoms, which can neither manage to live in peace with their neighbours, nor completely eliminate them. 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. Opportunities are endless and so are the rewards, if you are willing to risk your life for them. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3|Tell me more about these opportunities. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2 close_window|Thank you. That was all I needed to know dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|Well, you probably know everything I could tell you already. 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 {reg63?himself herself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg63?him her} 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 Pendorian 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 Pendor -- 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. Where can I find these claim holders? dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5 close_window|I guess I heard enough already. 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. Therefore, they usually stay at rival courts, raising support and hoping to find someone willing to champion their cause. I usually hear news about some of them, and may be able to tell you their location with some precision. But of course, I would ask for a little something for such a service. dlga_tavern_traveler_talk tavern_traveler_pretender_location|I want to know the location of a claimant. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask|Whose location do you want to know? dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask_2|{s11} dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask tavern_traveler_pretalk|Never mind. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask_2 tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask_money|I can reveal this information to you for a small price - let's say 300 denars. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask_money tavern_traveler_pretender_location_tell|All right. Here are 300 denars. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask_money tavern_traveler_pretalk|Never mind. dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location_tell tavern_traveler_pretalk|{s15} is currently at {s11}. dlga_tavern_traveler_talk tavern_traveler_rumors|What news can you share of your travels?

I was traveling to Sarleon. On my way there I arrived to the village of {s54}, beautiful lands there. During the evening at the local tavern, just as the light faded, the farmers and locals began trickling in for spirits and food. Many resided in the center as I tuckered in at the corner. Unwanted attention has its flaws you know. A few elderly stock joined nearby, already very drunk. They began talking about a castle or ruins, rather. Distorted by the noise I also heard things like 'betrayal', 'massacre', 'fortress' ... dlga_bookseller_3_quest_1 bookseller_3_quest_2|'Fortress' you said? dlga_bookseller_3_quest_2 bookseller_3_quest_3|... Hmm, yes. I was so intrigued by their discussion that once I got to Sarleon I immediately went to the Great Library and tried to find more information. I found nothing. Nothing in their history books and no maps show any castles near {s54}. I have even asked a nearby Lions chronicler only to be told that what I heard was drunken nonsense and, furthermore, that I shouldn't waste my time on it.^^But what those men described was so convincing, it seems like a missed opportunity to not investigate further.^^Would you be interested in a good old archaeological hunt? dlga_bookseller_3_quest_3 book_trade_completed|I got some time on my hands, I'd be glad to discover these so called ruins, if they exist! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_3 special_fail|No, I am not interested in this right now. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_1 bookseller_3_quest_end_2|Great news! Tell me what have you found. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_2 bookseller_3_quest_end_3|At the beginning I visited {s54} and spoken with the elder. The elder was forward in noting that there were no other castles in the area, but only ruins. He mentioned they were located at the base of the nearby range, where the river first starts. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_3 bookseller_3_quest_end_4|Very interesting, were his instructions clear? dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_4 bookseller_3_quest_end_5|Yes, I decided to go follow the river and travel. Finding it wasn't easy, but as I got closer the mountain a path began appearing, a very old and worn path; still covered by forest and dense brush. Not much left by now. There are what I assume was once a castle which included remains of a gatehouse, foundations of few bigger houses and towers. It seems that some time ago a battle took place there. After further examination I have found old weapons and various rusty armor pieces, some with still a visible griffon heraldry. Upon further searching, I found a chest. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_5 bookseller_3_quest_end_6|A chest? What was inside?! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_6 bookseller_3_quest_end_7|Under a pile of rubble I discovered slightly damp oak chest. Inside was some equipment, which held a worn griffon symbol accompanied by an old book. To be more specific the diary of a long forgotten knight ... dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_7 bookseller_3_quest_end_8|A knight you say? Interesting ... dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_8 bookseller_3_quest_end_9|It seems that those ruins were once a castle, which 60 Griffon Knights called 'home'.^^The last few pages described preparations to a feast organized by the commander, who was to host for the Lion's grandmaster. A 300 or so strong delegation was expected.^^Based on what I have seen on site and knowing some history of both orders, it is not hard to imagine what had unfolded there. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_9 bookseller_3_quest_end_10|I am familiar with this story, the Gairbolt Massacre. In summary, it explains of the vanquishing of the royal Griffon Knights, still loyal to the non-existent Pendorian Monarchy. It was known that the Griffons had rough relations with the Lions. Furthermore, Lions have recorded that they indeed did wipe the remaining Order. No one knows when or where exactly, those details were expunged from records ... ^^So where is the book? I'd like to inspect it's contents for authenticity and archival reasons of course! dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_10 bookseller_3_quest_end_11|Erm ... As I said it was an old book and was very fragile. I was very careful, but it simply fell apart, turned into dust. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_11 bookseller_3_quest_end_12|It would be hard to know if this place you found was the sight of the massacre and, with no evidence of a primary source, it cannot be authenticated.

We don't need unnecessary attention anyway. dlga_bookseller_3_quest_end_12 bookseller_3_quest_end_13|Perhaps you are right. Creating rumors may only come back to bite us in the end.

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 -- is appreciated by some noble 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 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 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. 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 Ethos, and plies his lover with lots of witty lines to persuade her 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. A lady with a sense of humor may find it amusing, but others might feel that they are the ones being mocked. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2|To teach it to you, I will need some hours of your time -- and, of course, a small fee for my services.

In Pendor, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Of course, this does not apply for their sons. The sons are lords and commanders who will be seeking suitable wives. A lady such as yourself will find it hard to marry a suitable husband, but if you persevere and are lucky you will find a good husband among the nobility. dlga_minstrel_nobles minstrel_nobles_2|Nobles are an odd lot. In Pendor, 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 Pendorian 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 lord's daughter 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 forbidden marriage. Now, that is a fine topic for a song. dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2 minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most daughters will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk disapproval for the sake of an unknown suitor. One may pine for a lover, but yet obey parental orders -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about? dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Pendorian 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 others of the realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these {reg63?ladies lords} from childhood, and will have been sized up as {reg63?grooms brides} by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some {reg63?ladies lords} may be fascinated by the strange, yet opt for the familiar. dlga_minstrel_player_role_3 minstrel_prequestions|Keep this in mind -- you may well break your heart in pursuit of love. However, refusing to love for fear of heartbreak is like refusing to lead your men into battle from fear of the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off ignorant lords' snotty little comments, and victory shall surely be yours. dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_female_player_3|Milady, I must speak candidly. Many of the lords of this land are traditionalists, not to say chauvenists, ha ha. They look only for a pretty little twit with demure manners and skin as fair as snow. They would feel threatened by a warrior maid who looks them in the eye as an equal; one who may well be smarter and more skilled at combat than they are. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells, not a woman who can fight bravely beside them, with a voice hoarse from commanding men successfully in battle. Most lords seeking to marry will want heirs, and a warrior woman such as yourself may not wish to give up conquest to furnish her lord an heir. dlga_minstrel_female_player_3 minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will prove so foolishly blind to the advantages of marriage to a warrior lady with battle renown. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed a chance for love. You must work to find a devoted husband who can accept your ways, but that is by no means impossible here in Pendor, as it assuredly would be in a more backward land. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg63?wife husband}? 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 Pendor 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 of Pendor will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. These 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 Pendorian 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.

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.

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 close_window|Tell me about Pendor. 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 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 - though, if you want, you can still practice. Are you ready? dlga_trainer_practice_1 trainer_practice_1.1|Way to go {reg63?lad lass}. With this victory, you have advanced to the next training level.

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} denars 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} denars 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 {reg63?lord lady}. 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 {reg63?lord lady}. If we sell the land and the equipment, and liquidate the inventories, I estimate that we can get {reg4} denars. 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.

Here is your reward {reg5} denars. It is well earned, and we are most grateful. dlga_mayor_begin mayor_friendly_pretalk.1|I have heard about your deeds. You have given those bandits the punishment they deserved. You are really as good as they say. Here is your reward {reg5} denars. I would like to give more but those bandits almost brought me to bankruptcy. dlga_mayor_begin merchant_ask_for_debts|According to my accounts, you owe the merchants guild {reg1} denars.

You are the lord of this town, and no one is going to stop you. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_investment|Well...

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|An oil press, to make oil from olives dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.5|An ironworks, to make tools from iron dlga_investment_choose_enterprise investment_summary.6|A weavery and dyeworks, to make velvet from silk and dye 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, sir.

Good heavens, 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 in Pendor? dlga_mayor_war_description_1 mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the rightful heir to the old Pendorian emperors. Some of these claims are based on forgotten dynastic marriages and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} invoke the empire's unwritten constitution. So in theory, 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 Pendor 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 of Pendor 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 to not 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.

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. Usually, whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_5 mayor_prepolitics|Now, men do not trust a vassal who turns coat easily, nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough, things can become very tense indeed... In other lands, of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_pretalk|That is all.

As you can see the base is up and running. ^^I thought that this place would need few pairs of good eyes, those who could detect enemies on the edge of the camp and raise alarm if necessary.

I am impressed by your organizational skills and suspect it wasn't easy to keep the men under control for so long in this forgotten place. In fact I'm so impressed that I have an offer for you.

However it is rather costly and time consuming. It also might bring unnecessary attention to this place. {s2}. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2 camp_master_upgrades_2_blacksmith|A blacksmith? dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2_blacksmith camp_master_upgrades_3_blacksmith|This place has remains of what was once an old forge. One that could repair armor, restore weapons to working order, flatten dents in old helmets, and fit horseshoes. I have been looking for an experienced blacksmith in the nearby country. ^^Luckily, it seems that {s4}, one of the men you brought here for work, was a blacksmith's apprentice for a year and he should be able to deal with basic blacksmith requests. All he would need is 3000 denars to buy iron, coal and the required tools. What do you think? dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_blacksmith camp_master_pretalk|Sounds reasonable. Make it happen. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_blacksmith camp_master_pretalk.1|My budget is tight at the moment. It will have to wait dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2 camp_master_upgrades_2_room|I think we should invest in a larger barracks, do you agree? Our lodgings are rather small. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2_room camp_master_upgrades_3_room|Yes, {reg63?sir madam}, I am aware of that. There is not much space left in which would be suitable for new foundations. The ground is simply too hard, almost entirely rock solid. As you probably remember from my reports, a while ago we discovered two formerly collapsed castle chambers. The smaller one is our vault now, but the other is unused at the moment.^^We could bring that room to its former glory and it should be big enough to accommodate an additional 50 troops. The overall cost shouldn't exceed 15000 denars. What do you think? dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_room camp_master_pretalk|Not much for 50 extra beds. It sounds like a good investment. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_room camp_master_pretalk.1|These are very expensive beds. Silky sheets? I don't think so. Maybe next time. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2 camp_master_upgrades_2_vet|Perhaps we can hire some stable workers? dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2_vet camp_master_upgrades_3_vet|More than that, {reg63?sir madam}. Sooner or later we will need someone who can care for the horses as they have their own specific issues that accompany them. I would hate to see a maimed horse be uncured. Otherwise all those magnificent beasts will end up in a delicious stew.^^I think we should hire someone with vast knowledge on horses. The Jatu, I believe they are called, would be a good start. They're famous for their knowledge about horses. It may be quite deadly trying to speak with members of the patrolling warbands, but I heard that sometimes {s4} can be found in the taverns. They are more 'civilized' and we should be able to convince the most suitable one to stay here. ^^Leave negotiations to me, but in the meantime 5000 denars should help me to arrange everything. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_vet camp_master_pretalk|Not a bad idea. I will try my luck with {s4}. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_3_vet camp_master_pretalk.1|I have different plans at the moment. dlga_camp_master_upgrades_2 camp_master_pretalk|I need to think about what you've just said. dlga_camp_master_task_1 camp_master_pretalk|I want to leave all my troops here. dlga_camp_master_task_1 camp_master_pretalk.1|I want to take all garrisoned troops with me. dlga_camp_master_task_1 close_window|Nevermind.

I won't let you down. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_1 camp_blacksmith_welcome_2|I am sure you won't. ^^We will speak later. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_2 camp_blacksmith_welcome_3|Commander, before you go I have to tell you something. During the construction, workers discovered some remains of what once was a large storage room. The foundation was quite bad. Inside they found an assortment of items. You can see what we found laying on that table behind me. One is this old horse armor that is uniquely shaped. However, what is even more important, is that it's made out of unusual metal lightweight and strong. I remember that my master once mentioned about a rare ore, which was almost impossible to find. It ran between veins of ebony ore and once it's nature was discovered, was only acquired by royalty. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_3 camp_blacksmith_welcome_4|That is interesting. Is this armor still usable? dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_4 camp_blacksmith_welcome_5|Armor is in quite good shape, but it would require some work to restore it to its former glory. ^^There is a bigger problem though. It seems that this piece of equipment was made to fit a very large horse breed, not like the ones we have around here. I adjusted the armor as much as I could, but even after that I couldn't find a single horse that could wear it. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_5 close_window|You have mentioned that items made out of this metal were used only by royalty. It is most likely that they have had special horses as well, worthy to wear such a rare barding. I think it would be a good idea to visit the old Pendor capital and try to find out something about these old and large horse breeds. dlga_start close_window.46|I'm still working on your order, Commander. It should be ready in {s2}. dlga_start camp_blacksmith_jobdone_1|Commander, I have your {s2} right here. dlga_camp_blacksmith_jobdone_1 close_window|Looks like new. dlga_start close_window.47|Commander, your order is ready, but your inventory is full. dlga_start camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_1|Commander, what an extraordinary horse you have brought here! dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_1 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_2|This one belongs to the long line of horses use by Pendor kings long ago. Wasn't easy or cheap to get him, as only a few pedigrees have survived up to this point. ^^Some evidences suggest that the barding found here was made for this pedigree. What do you think? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_2 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3|Before I answer your question, Commander, let me do a few measurements. I know exactly where the previous horses failed, so it shouldn't take long. dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4|And? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4 close_window|This steed and the barding matches almost perfectly! ^^Armor is nearly restored and only few small alterations are needed. I believe everything should be ready within two weeks. dlga_start camp_blacksmith_task_1|Do you need anything, Commander?^^^^^(item from the 1st slot in the main inventory) dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_1 camp_blacksmith_task_2|Yes, repair this item for me. dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_1 close_window|No, not right now. dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_2 camp_blacksmith_task_3|{s2} dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_3 close_window|I will speak with you later. dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_3 close_window.1|Sounds good to me. dlga_camp_blacksmith_task_3 close_window.2|That is too long.

Now, go see if you can round up some volunteers or mercenaries. dlga_start merchant_quest_1_prologue_1|{s1} dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2|We've lately had a real problem with Heretics kidnapping young girls for sacrifice. We've discovered numerous girls' bodies, every one with the heart ripped out! Of late, they've begun venturing into town, looking for unwary prey. The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers - fewer men to keep an eye on the streets. This helps them enter unnoticed and aids them in identifying particularly tempting targets ... Last week, you see, they took my young sister. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.1|Those damnable Mystmountain Raiders appear when least expected and vanish back into their mountains without a trace. I'll confess that I've done a bit of trading with them in the past - their gold is as good as anyone's. Still, they've gone too far this time. My younger brother went off hunting the other day and failed to return. Those Mystmountain barbarians sent me his ear in a bag, with an ill-written note demanding 1000 denars ransom for him! dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.2|We've a growing problem here stemming from Singal - bands of Singalian slavers prowling about all the D'Shar Principalities, taking every person they can get their hands on as slaves. It isn't safe to travel anywhere without a large group of guards. Of late, they've begun taking citizens right off our city streets, as boldly as they do in Singal! Now they've taken one of my wives. I wouldn't worry so much about it if she weren't my first wife's younger sister. She won't stop nagging me until I recover her little sister and the caterwauling in the women's quarters is driving me insane. She's also informed me I will have no 'husbandly rights' until my third wife is returned, and my second wife agrees. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.3|Those bloody Vanskerry Raiders are growing bolder with every passing day. They take every person they come across as skalds, and send them back to their iceberg of a country in chains. The watch commander says they look too much like everyone else in the Fierdsvain, so when they enter the city, they could be any citizen. Anyway, Vanskerries have kidnapped my son! dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.4|The Snake Cult raids have increased of late, probably because a number of the Empire nobility are secret worshipers of Azi Dahaka. The incidences of girls kidnapped are on the rise, and rumor has it they steal girls to make them into Snake Priestesses. I've also heard they only take girl babies for that, and sacrifice their older captives. The problem is this I sent my daughter under escort to Cez, to visit her aunt, and her party was taken by the Snake Cult! dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2 merchant_quest_1_prologue_3|I don't know what my sister was thinking to go wandering alone after dark in times like these; I hope she wasn't meeting a lover! You were traipsing about, too, but you're a stranger here, and didn't know how bad things have become. She had no such excuse. But she's my sister, so what can I do? If I don't protect my kin, people will start thinking that I can't protect my investments, either, and I can't have that. I also confess that I love her dearly and am worried to death about her! I cannot bear the thought of her being sacrificed by Heretics! dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2 merchant_quest_1_prologue_3.1|They say they will send more 'important' parts of him next, if they don't have the ransom within two days. He's the last of my family - my parents are dead, and I promised my father on his deathbed I'd look after the boy. He's worthless as a merchant, has as much trading sense as a hound, but I swore to my father to keep him safe, so I must rescue him. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2 merchant_quest_1_prologue_3.2|I've told those idiot wives of mine, time and time again, don't go sneaking out of the house without escort, just because a peddler waves some gaudy trinket under your window to entice you, but they never listen. I'm sure that's what happened - one of those Singalians disguised as a peddler flapped a length of red silk, or waved a gold bracelet in the air, the greedy little twit went racing out to buy it, and was taken. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2 merchant_quest_1_prologue_3.3|My son has a bad habit of frequenting the taverns and associating with people he should not. He also drinks too much. I fear he was waylaid by some Vanskerry Raiders as he stumbled home too drunk to defend himself or raise an alarm. I make no excuses for his behavior - he's an idiot. But, he's my own blood, after all. If I can't protect my kin, people will start thinking that I can't protect my investments, either, and I can't have that. I'm also fond of the young blighter - he's my only son and I love him despite his foolish ways. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2 merchant_quest_1_prologue_3.4|She's not just my daughter, she's my only heir, and I've promised her to the son of one of my oldest friends in marriage. This marriage will join our trading concerns and make us the wealthiest and most influential merchants in the Empire. This marriage must take place very soon, or both our friendship and our potential partnership will end. She must be rescued before the wedding date! dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_3 merchant_quest_1a|So here's my proposition. 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 Pendor to seek your fortune. This is what I'm asking you to do gather a small but strong party, track down these {s3} to their lair and return my {s1} to me in good health. In return, you'll earn my lasting gratitude and a bit of silver. What say you? dlga_merchant_quest_1a merchant_quest_1b|Very well, I will rescue your {s1}. dlga_merchant_quest_1a close_window|I am sorry, but I have more important business to attend. dlga_merchant_quest_1b merchant_quest_1c|You won't be able to do this by yourself, though. If you tackle that warband by yourself, the hunter will become the hunted, I'll warrant. You'll first need to recruit some fighting men. There are always a few lads in the outlying villages looking for work more interesting than tilling the soil or hauling water. With a little training, they'll fight well. There are also mercenaries for hire in the taverns. They'll join you for pay. Visit the villages and taverns, and use the money to hire some men. You will need at least five men behind you to fight the {s3}. The bandit leaders are a mean bunch, so having experienced men with good equipment would be best. dlga_merchant_quest_1c merchant_quest_1d|Very good, sir. I'll go collect some men from around the villages and check the tavern too. 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. Then we'll speak about what to do next. dlga_start noldor_give_armor_1|Twair Ganieer Champion! You've done it! You bested all that Elcarai has to offer. You are truly a mighty human worthy of Noldor status. No one has ever achieved an undefeated record as much as you, including myself! In response, the Lords of Elcarai have agreed to gift you one of our most prized relics. Wear it with pride Champion of Pendor! Show the world that the Noldor think of you as an equal! dlga_noldor_give_armor_1 noldor_give_armor_2|It is with the greatest honor, that I accept this most prized gift. Thank you! dlga_noldor_give_armor_2 close_window|We are glad to hear that! dlga_start noldor_player_response.1|Yes, what can I do for you? dlga_noldor_player_response noldor_leader_1|I have many questions about the Noldor... dlga_noldor_leader_1 noldor_player_questions|I may deign to give you a few answers. Ask. dlga_noldor_anything_else noldor_player_questions|Anything else you need to know? Ask. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_1|Ask about Noldor relations with others. dlga_noldor_question_1 noldor_answer_1|Your people seem at odds with all of Pendor. Why is that? dlga_noldor_answer_1 noldor_player_1|The Jatu are uncouth savages who murder our patrols. Our woods can never be safe while they live. The Empire lords pursue our patrols because they wish to loot our weapons and armor, and they use chasing the Snake Cult into our woods as an excuse for invading us. They take us prisoners without compunction. dlga_noldor_player_1 noldor_answer_1a|Please go on. dlga_noldor_answer_1a noldor_anything_else|This, despite the fact that we also fight and defeat the Snake Cult! Our proud warrior women captives are sold at auction by Ramun in Singal, and we cannot enter Pendor cities to ransom them. The Pendor lords immure them in their towers and use them as sex slaves. This is intolerable to us! Sarleon ever threatens us and most of the Knightly Orders despise us. The Noldor have never been accepted by the rest of Pendor. We find it ironic that, even though many of the people who now occupy Pendor came from elsewhere, the Pendorians treat us as alien invaders. Do you wonder, human, that we wish nothing to do with the people of Pendor? dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_2|Ask about Noldor reclusiveness. dlga_noldor_question_2 noldor_answer_2|Do you think if you interacted more with the people of Pendor, they would be more accepting of you? dlga_noldor_answer_2 noldor_player_2|When first we came to Pendor, we tried that. Our efforts failed. We are accepted only by one of the Knighthood Orders. dlga_noldor_player_2 noldor_anything_else|Maybe it's the pointy ears that put people off. (relation -1) dlga_noldor_player_2 noldor_anything_else.1|Tell that to the next human widow you meet, courtesy of a stray Noldor arrow. (relation -10) dlga_noldor_player_2 noldor_anything_else.2|I'm sorry to hear that. Your people have been treated unjustly. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_3|Ask about the hidden castle. dlga_noldor_question_3 noldor_answer_3|How have you managed to keep Elacrai castle so well hidden for this long? dlga_noldor_answer_3 noldor_anything_else|Though most of our magic was lost with our island - a tale that does not concern you - we retained enough magic to hide in these woods. You are the first human to whom we have revealed it, because you have proven yourself a friend to the Noldor. Don't make us regret our decision to admit you to our confidence. Noldor friends are well-rewarded. Noldor enemies are dealt with summarily and forever barred from seeing or entering Elacrai Castle. Should you prove untrustworthy, you will never find this castle again, and every Noldor will be your enemy from that time on. We make very bad enemies. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_4|Ask about tournaments. dlga_noldor_question_4 noldor_answer_4|Do you hold tournaments here? Would you permit me to enter one? dlga_noldor_answer_4 noldor_anything_else|At the beginning of each new moon, we take the first four days and hold the most grand tournament here in Pendor. As you are now welcomed to our halls, you are more than welcome to join the combatants in the arena. Many rewards are to be won, but heed my words, us Noldor will not roll over for any opposition, especially a human. Prove yourself and see what may come if you continue to be victorious. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_5|Ask about training. dlga_noldor_question_5 noldor_answer_5|Is it possible for me to train with your Trainer here in Elacrai Castle? dlga_noldor_answer_5 noldor_anything_else|If my Trainer consents to your attempt, you have my permission to train with her. Being human, you will find her training very challenging. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_6|Ask about trading and recruitment. dlga_noldor_question_6 noldor_answer_6|I see you have a merchant and a quartermaster here - may I buy some Noldor goods and hire Noldor troops from them? dlga_noldor_answer_6 noldor_anything_else|If my castle merchant and quartermaster will condescend to deal with you, yes you may. There are always young Noldor who seek adventure in the outside world, but their price is very high. Our goods are excellent, but also very expensive. dlga_noldor_player_questions noldor_question_7|Ask about more information. dlga_noldor_question_7 noldor_answer_7|Is there anything else you'd care to tell me about the Noldor? dlga_noldor_answer_7 close_window|When we know you better, we may tell you more about ourselves, but for now, I think I have sufficiently satisfied your curiosity, and I grow weary of your questions. dlga_noldor_player_questions close_window|This is very interesting, but I have to go. dlga_start merchant_process_2|So, human, you wish to trade for Noldor goods? dlga_start merchant_process_2.1|Back again, are you?

And how would we know you can be entrusted with such secrets? Better trade with me while you can, human. dlga_noldor_merchant_unlock merchant_ending_trade.1|Very well, human friend. I'll summon a smith to show you the intricacies of creating some of our common equipment. I only hope I don't live to regret this. dlga_merchant_ending_trade merchant_process_2|Very good. Will there be anything else? dlga_start trainer_process_2|I can train you in a variety of weapons to a Noldor skill level. dlga_start trainer_reward|I see you have completed your training. dlga_start trainer_process_2.1|Do you wish training again? dlga_trainer_process_2 trainer_choose_weapon|Yes, let us train. dlga_trainer_process_2 close_window|I must be going, perhaps later. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_choose_weapon|Choose a weapon proficiency you want to improve. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training|One-handed weapons. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training.1|Two-handed weapons. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training.2|Polearms. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training.3|Bows. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training.4|Crossbows. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_begin_training.5|Thrown weapons. dlga_trainer_choose_weapon trainer_ending_training|None, I've changed my mind. dlga_trainer_begin_training close_window|Very well, here we go.

Another few days due south, and we ll see her. I can t wait to see the city! If it s anything like you ve described, April, it must be amazing. It s been a long time. Things change. I smell the enemy. They are close. Okay. Na ane? You divert their attention when they get close enough. Brynn? Stay behind Chawan. I can handle― I don t care if you wield your sword like an Ygainon bladedancer. We re not at home. We don t have the advantage. Follow my lead, Brynn. Your blade will taste blood today, worry not. Let the smoke clear before you attack. The toxins lose their effect quickly, but you should still not breathe them. Got it. Hey, Chawan? What do they smell like, the enemy? Hush. One down, a continent to go. Good work! Hah. Ha! Ha un! Che ta! Zu on! Nng! Uh. Go back to the hell you came from, Azadi. This is for my people. My sister will tear your soul to pieces in the afterlife. Ee-ya! You call that fighting? Westlander scum! Watch out! It is done. Zoë! Thank God, I m so relieved to hear your voice. Are you okay? Where are you? I m outside the walls, in an alley. I can t see any signs. Just a moment, I ll pull you up on my... What? Oh. My friend Liv, she installed some kind of shield for my mobile. She said it makes me invisible. It s amazingly effective, top grade stuff. I really need to meet this friend of yours. I think she d like you. Look, I want to get as far away from this place as possible. You can crash at my place tonight. There s not a lot of space, but you ll be safe there. The first thing you need to do is find the boardwalk... Charlie must know more than what he s letting on If there s anything you can tell me, anything at all... I don t know where else to go. Please. Jericho has powerful connections. If I tell them you refused to help me, they won t be very happy. He s hiding something, I know it If I didn t know any better, and if I thought you were stupid enough to pull that kind of shit in here, I d say you were threatening me. I m just warning you. If you know something, you d better tell me. Or else...what? You sue me? You torch my club? You sic the Corps on me? The EYE? You don t think I have powerful connections, girl? Do you have any idea who comes into this place, the people I mingle with? The next time you come into my place and threaten me, I ll have you thrown out. This time, I m just gonna ask you to leave. Please, don t― Apologise This has gone too far already Sure you will. And tomorrow morning The Hand That Bites will run an interesting story about this bar. Challenge Unless he tells me what he knows, I m not giving up What? (Laughs) Are you serious, girl? Points for effort, though. I m impressed. If you have any information, it would be worth a lot to me. Bargain I m sure he knows more than what he s letting on Is that so? Like, what, money? Or are you offering me something else. Like yourself. My advice to you, girl, is never threaten someone unless you re ready to follow through on the threat. In your case, that means never threaten anyone. Ever. Your friend Jericho, he was here last night. He wanted to meet face to face. He told me, some things shouldn t cross the Wire. He wanted some information about a place I used to live in called the Border House. Thanks...I guess. Here s a tip, though. Take it or leave it, your choice. Good. Your friend Jericho did drop by last night. He wanted to meet me in person. I...I m not― You don t need to answer that, girl. I get it. You must love this guy a lot. That s all I needed to know. Look, your friend, he was here last night. He said some things shouldn t cross the Wire. He wanted to know about this place I used to live in, place called the Border House. The Venice Academy of the Visual Arts. It was famous. Still is, but...for very different reasons. Back then, it was the best art school in the city. After the Collapse, I lived uptown for a while. I needed to get as far away from Venice as I possibly could. Different world, different times. The Collapse changed a lot of things. Hell, it changed everything. What did you study at the Academy? VAVA It would be interesting to know what Charlie studied at the Venice Academy of the Visual Arts Heh. I ll tell you, if you promise not to laugh. I studied dance. You did? I was a kid. I believed that with enough passion, I could do anything I wanted. I had such faith in myself and in the world. But faith and passion alone will only carry you so far before reality sets in. When that happens, you ve got to face up to the facts. Your life ain t gonna turn out the way you hoped it would. And your dreams... They don t matter so much anymore. You lose faith, but...life goes on. Besides, look where it got me in the end. I ve done well for myself. I m a happy man.

  Reach Out To The Truth(１)　 ◆dGUiIvN2Nw 【月と地上の狭間　とある高原の邸宅】 「……と、いうわけよ。協力お願いできるかしら?」 優雅にティーカップに口をつけ、八雲紫は不敵に微笑む。 その向かいに座っている女性、依姫は、どこか渋い顔をしながらも彼女の話を聞いていた。 「はっきり言って、あなたの話はまったく信用できる要素がない」 「そうね。確かに証拠として提示できるものは何もない。でも、何かが起こっていることは確実よ」 それを聞いて、依姫の隣で桃を頬張っていた豊姫が、場の空気に似合わぬ天真爛漫な笑顔を見せる。 「その何かに八意様が関わっている証拠くらいは見せてほしいところねぇ～」 （へらへらしている割に、押さえるべき点をよく分かっている。さすがに月を束ねる姉妹なだけはあるか） もぐもぐと口を動かし、「ん～、おいしい」などと呟いている豊姫を見て、紫は思う。 やはり一筋縄ではいかない様子だ。しかし、だからこそ味方になれば心強い。 「月を欠けた満月に置き換えて、月と地上の道を閉ざそうとする異変が以前起こった。その異変を解決した者は、誰が異変の犯人だったのか、その存在をまるきり忘れてしまっている」 「……確かに。そんなことをしようとするのもできるのも、八意様くらいね。けれど、私達はその存在が消えるということ自体を疑っているの。また何か適当なこと言って、月の都を荒らそうとか考えてるんじゃないの?」 カップを傾け、紅茶を啜る。 あくまでも自分のペースを崩さぬように、ゆっくりとした動作でカップを置くと、紫は口を開いた。 「私の見解はこうよ。誰かが世界に無理やり干渉したことで、世界が無理やり修復作業を行った。全ての事象は繋がっているの。どこか一つが狂えば他の全てが狂ってしまう。その狂いを治す一番の方法が、存在をなかったことにするというもの」 「世界の意思でってこと?」 依姫は思わず眉をひそめる。 「ごく自然な現象ってことよ。世界が世界として成り立つためのね。この世が三次元であることをあなたは説明できる?」 世界というものがどういう仕組みで動いているのか。それは月の民であろうと理解できないもの。 何故存在が消えるのか。その疑問は、何故地球が三次元的な物体であるのかを解説するに等しい疑問だ。 「しかし私も姉様も、そしてあなたも、八意様のことを覚えている」 「私は世界の外にいたから干渉を免れた。あなたたちはすでに彼女との関係は希薄なものとなっているわ。この世に運命というものがあって、それを辿るようにして私達は生きているとするなら、おそらくあなた達は金輪際彼女と出会うことがなかったということよ」 綿月姉妹が幻想郷と関わることが金輪際ないのであれば、八意永琳の存在を忘れる必要などない。世界の観点で見て矛盾は起きないし、辻褄合わせをする手間も省ける。 「荒唐無稽だわ」 依姫の言う通り。紫の説にはあまりにも空想が多過ぎる。 「けど、実際問題できなくはないわよ?　龍神様だって、やろうと思えばそれくらいできるだろうし」 確かに紫の説は空想の産物だ。しかし、絶対ないとは言い切れない。少なくとも一割は可能性がある。 「それに、どちらにせよ存在が消えているという事実は変わらない。説明はできなくても、これが異変だということは変わらないわ。まぁ信じるか信じないかは、あなた達で勝手に下調べでもしてちょうだい。それこそ、私がとやかく言っても仕方のないことだし」 「あなたは幻想郷の住人や八意様が、別世界に拉致されたと考えているのね」 豊姫はテーブルに置かれた籠の中から、よりおいしそうな桃を厳選し、それを手に取る。 「その通り。そしてそれは、あなた達からしても無視できないことのはず」 紫はおもむろに椅子から立ち上がった。 何をするつもりかと綿月姉妹が身構える。が、紫は意外にも、その地面に手をつけただけだった。 「お願いします。私は、幻想郷を失うわけにはいかない。あなた方の力が必要なのです」 依姫と豊姫は思わず互いに見つめ合った。 そして、どちらからとも言わず薄く微笑んだ。 まるで、合格だと言わんばかりに。 「顔を上げなさい、地上に住む穢れ多き妖怪よ。元より、あなたの言う異変は私達も感知していた」 「今回の件は、少しあなたを試していたのよ。私達も協力者を探していた。自力で異変に勘付き、その本質をも見抜けたあなたなら、協定を結ぶに十分な人材だわ」 「あらそう?」 先程までとは違い、軽い調子で立ち上がり髪を靡かせる。 「ああよかった。こちらとしても、これくらいのことに気付けない相手なんて協力に値しないから」 「……敢えてこちらの思惑に合わせていたってわけね。ほんと、地上の住人は食えないわ」 「あら。あなた達ほどじゃないと思うけど?」 そう言ってクスクスと笑う。 これで力は確保した。あとは道だけ。敵の居所さえ見つかれば、一気に叩ける。 「それじゃあ、戦力の方はあなた達に任せるとしましょうか。月の民が本気を出せば、大抵の輩は潰せる」 「そこは信用してもらいたいところね。力なら、誰が相手でも負ける気がしない。問題は敵の居場所だけど、それも姉様とあなたがいれば問題はなさそうだわ」 「その通り」 頷く二人。そこには確固たる自信があった。月の民であるプライドと、千もの時を生きる妖怪としてのプライドが。 紫は、机に置かれたティーカップを掲げた。 「月と地上の住人による、最初で最後の協定。その勝利と成功を祈って」 綿月姉妹も紫に合わせてカップを掲げる。 酒は自粛した。これからやらなければならないことがたくさんある。 そう。酒ならいつでも飲めるのだ。この異変が解決すれば。 紫は澄ました顔でカップに口をつける。 名前も顔もわからない。しかし、必ず引きずり出し、生きてきたことを後悔させてやる。そう強く思いながら。 ◇◇◇ 【殺し合い会場　D-4】 全員が放心していた。 それだけゼルギウスの語った話は想像を絶していた。 正の女神、アスタルテ。負の女神、ユンヌ。 人を作り、世界を作った二神。 暴走し、人を絶滅の危機に追いやったユンヌをメダリオンに封印したアスタルテ。 彼女が目覚める時、人が未だに争い、戦火に塗れているというのなら、人を滅ぼすことを明言した女神。 「……私は。私の主は、彼女を目覚めさせ人を滅ぼそうとしていた」 それは、漆黒の騎士からすれば相当の勇気がいる告白だっただろう。 せっかく手にした仲間が、この告白で自分を拒絶するかもしれないのだ。 「私は人に絶望していた。誰からも疎まれ、自分の居場所を作ることができなかった私に、主セフェランは居場所をくれた。主に仕えること。それが私にとって、ただ一つの生きる糧だった。 ……許してくれなんて言わない。今ここで、自害してもいい。何の償いにもならないだろうが」 全員が黙っていた。 もしかしたら。漆黒の騎士がセフェランを止めていたら、この殺し合いは開催されなかったかもしれない。 それは誰にも肯定できないことで、しかし誰にも否定できないことだった。 「……あーもう!　暗いのやめ!　なしなし!!」 千枝が立ち上がりぶんぶんと手を振る。 「漆黒さんが何をしようとしてたかとか、そんなんもう関係ないよ。漆黒さんは仲間!　んで、今は私達を助けてくれてる。それだけわかれば万事ＯＫっしょ」 千枝は満面の笑みで漆黒にそう言った。 その明るい笑顔が、皆にも広がっていく。若干、本当に若干、不安そうに見守っていた咲夜も頬を緩める。 皆の自分を受け入れてくれる笑みが、漆黒の騎士に眩しく映った。 眩し過ぎて、涙が出てくるほどに……。 「……ありがとう」 今はこんな言葉しか送れない。 しかし、漆黒の騎士は誓った。 咲夜だけじゃない。千枝も、そしてここにいる全員も、私は守らなければならないと。 騎士として、仲間として、彼らを守り抜こうと。 漆黒の騎士の話が終わり、誰が何を言うこともなく休息をとることになった。全員が疲労困憊の中、次の放送くらいまでは体力回復に努めるべきだと誰もが思っていたのだ。 全員が、横になってすぐに寝息を立て始めた。それだけ先程の戦いは厳しいものだったのだ。 瀬多が目を覚ました時、起きていたのはアドレーヌだけだった。 見れば、皆きちんと治療されている。全てアドレーヌがやってくれたのだろう。 「……どれくらい眠っていた?」 目頭に手を添え、瀬多は聞いた。 「二時間くらいだと思います……」 幽香の亡骸があった場所は土で盛り上がっている。 その隣には少しだけ小さな墓が二つ。おそらく、ベトベトンとカービィのものだろう。 どの墓にも、小さな花が添えられていた。 「幽香さんには……ひまわりを、添えてあげたかったんですけど」 アドレーヌは泣いていなかった。 ぎゅっと手に力を込め、涙を耐えていた。 「そうか……」 そっと、優しく抱きしめてやる。アドレーヌの身体の震えが、瀬多にも伝わってきた。 （辛いよな。辛いに決まってる） 瀬多自身だって、少し気が緩めば崩れ落ちるくらいに泣き喚く自信がある。 だというのに、自分の大切な人がこうも立て続けに目の前で死んで、辛くない訳がない。自分以上の悲しみを、アドレーヌは背負っているのだ。 「ノロケならからかってやろうかと思ったんだがな」 木の影で横になっていたレミリアが唐突に言った。 「起きたのか」 「ついさっきな」 むくりと起き上がり、手を広げたり握ったりしている。身体の調子を確かめているようだ。 動かす手を眺めながら、レミリアは口を開いた。 「また随分、人が死んだな」 軽く言うレミリアに、瀬多は押し黙った。 そう。死に過ぎた。あまりにも酷い結果だ。 「自分のせいだ、なんて思ってるのか?　相変わらず」 「……俺が魔理沙に固執しなければ、こんなことにはならなかった。イザナミの思惑に気付いていれば、こうはならなかった」 足立がどういう人間かは分かっていた。有無を言わさず再起不能にしていれば、少なくとも幽香とベトベトンは犠牲にならずに済んだ。 「アドレーヌにも言えることだが、お前達人間は少し物事を背負い過ぎる傾向があるな。出来もしないのに勝手に背負って押し潰れる。まったく、馬鹿みたいじゃないか?」 レミリアらしい理屈だと思う。 だが 「背負わずには……いられないんです」 アドレーヌが言った。 「人は弱いから。悲惨な現実を受け入れられないから。その現実を、少しでも良くしようって考えて。そうしたら、けっきょく背負うことになっちゃうんです」 「……人間というのも面倒な生き物だな」 レミリアのことだから、馬鹿丸出しだとでも言って切り捨てられるだろうと考えていた瀬多にとって、その言葉は意外なものだった。 ゴルベーザに対する怒り。幽香の死に対する怒り。それらは妖怪特有のものであったとしても、最初に出会った頃のレミリアからは少し考えられないことだった。 （レミリアも、成長してるってことか） 人間を知り始めている。人間に感化されてきている。 それが良いことなのか悪いことなのか。……いや、きっと良いことなのだろう。 「それに今回の件は、誰がどう見ても私のせいなんです」 その確信があるような言い方に、思わず二人ともアドレーヌを見つめた。 「あのメダリオン。……本当は、私が持っていたんです。最初に支給品を見せ合った時に、見落としていたんです。放送があった時、私はあれを見つけてました。……それを、……もっとはやく、瀬多さんに……」 瀬多はメダリオンのことを知っていた。だから、瀬多に知らせてさえいれば、こんなことにはならなかった。 それはアドレーヌにとって、どうしようもなく深い後悔だった。 「メダリオンに触ったのか?」 「……はい」 攻略本に載っていた情報では、メダリオンに触れることができる人間は正の気が強い人間だけだった。 アドレーヌも生の気が強かった。だからこそ、触れても何も異変が起こらなかった。ならば、今回の件はアドレーヌのせいとは一概には言えない。 自分が触って何ともなかったのだ。まさか触れただけでその人物が凶暴化するような恐ろしいものだとは思えない。 必然的に、そのメダルの優先度は下がり、いつしか忘れてしまう。おそらく、そういった効果も考えて、イザナミはこれを支給したのだろう。 「俺はアドレーヌを怒らないといけない」 しかし、瀬多は敢えてそう言った。 「アドレーヌ。皆が君に逃げろと叫んだあの時。足立に殺されかけたあの時。君は、自分を諦めただろ。自分が生きることを諦めた。それは、絶対にしちゃいけないことだった」 アドレーヌは何も言わない。何も言わず、ただ俯いている。 「たとえ今回の騒動がアドレーヌのせいだったとしても、それでも生きることを諦めちゃ駄目だ。それは……死んでいった大勢の人を裏切る行為だ」 裏切る、という言葉にアドレーヌは震えた。 たとえどれほど辛くても、苦しくても、死んだ人達の意思を裏切ること。それだけはしてはいけないことなのだ。 「俺達は生きなくちゃいけない。どんなことがあっても、強くあらなければいけない。それが、死んだ人達を生かすことになる。無駄なんかじゃなかったっていう証になる。 彼らの強さと生き様を、俺達は後世に伝えていかないといけない。伝えることで、きっと彼らは生き続けるんだ」 そう思い続けることで、立っていられる。 だからきっと、彼らの死は価値あることだったんだ。 そう信じたい。いや、信じると決めたのだ。 突然、右手がうずいた。 「どうかしました?」 「……例の発作だ。休憩はもう十分だと言いたいんだろうな」 果てしなく面倒な呪いをかけられたものだと、内心愚痴る。 だが、これは自分も合意の上での契約だ。文句も言っていられない。 「この発作は、俺の意思に反応する仕組みになっているらしい。つまり、俺がイゴールに近づく行為だと認識すれば発作は引いていく。別に動き回らなくてもいいってことだ」 瀬多は立ち上がり、回収したオタコンのバックからゲーム機を取り出した。 「二人とも、悪いが少し付き合ってもらうぞ」 ゲーム機を操作し、例の選択肢を画面に映し出す。 好きな情報を教えてくれるというイザナミからの褒美である。 主催者は誰か。目的は何なのか。そして、ここはどこなのか。 「なんだこれは?」 「イザナミからの情報提供だ。この三つのどれかを教えてくれるらしい。オタコンはこの答えを保留していたらしいが、こんなところでぐだぐだやってられるほど俺達に余裕はない。さっさと決めて、ゲームをクリアしなくちゃいけない」 「……その口ぶり。既にどれを選ぶかは決めているというわけか」 漆黒の騎士が身体を起こし、そう言った。 「身体は大丈夫なのか?」 「今のところ問題はない。……話を続けてくれ。瀬多の決断力がどれほどのものか、確認しておきたい」 漆黒の騎士、ゼルギウスは知将である。その高い戦闘力と類稀なる知略でベグニオンの将軍の座についた。 グループのリーダー格の男がどれほどのものか。それを確認する必要があると考えるくらいの知性は、漆黒の騎士も優に備えていた。 そんな漆黒の騎士の考えを理解しているからこそ、瀬多は彼を無視して話を続ける。 「この選択。俺は二番、主催の目的を知る為に使おうと思っている。信頼性に欠ける不確かな情報だが、真実を教えてくれると言うのなら、これが一番知りたい」 当然のことながらクレームが飛んだ。 「はあ!?　そんなもの知ったところでどうなるってのよ!　ここは断然三番でしょうが!」 「……お嬢様。どうかしたのですか?」 そのレミリアの声に、咲夜が目を覚ましたようだった。遅れて千枝も目を擦りながら身体を起こしている。 せっかくなので全員に集まってもらい、話を進めることにした。 「どうして二番を、という意見が出たが、他の皆はどうだ?　もし選ぶとしたらどれにする?」 千枝、咲夜の二人が迷わず三番の『この島がどこにあるのか』を選んだ。アドレーヌは首を傾げて決めかねている様子で、漆黒の騎士は元より意見を言うつもりはないようだ。 普通に考えて、主催の正体も開催理由もこちらには何の関係のない話だ。そんなものを聞くよりも、ここがどこかを知った方が脱出に有利のはずである。 「何故二番なのか。その答えは簡単だ。他の選択肢は、この三択を迫られた時点で簡単に推測できるからな」 どよめきが起こる。漆黒の騎士だけが、じっと瀬多を見つめている。 「……おい。本当にわかるのか?　ここがどこなのか」 レミリアの静かな問いに、瀬多は頷いた。 「イザナミは殺し合いを進めなければならない。どういう目的があるにせよ、それは確かだ。だというのに、脱出のキーである情報を渡すなんておかしいとは思わないか?」 自分達を助けようとしている助っ人が主催側にいることを理解した今、イザナミの目的はあくまで殺し合いを進めることにあると見ていい。 そうなると、場所を特定するような情報をおいそれと参加者に渡すとは考えづらい。 何故なら自分達のいる場所というのは、そこから脱出する者にとって必ず突き止めねばならない障害で、逆を言えばそれさえ分かれば様々な解決策を編み出すきっかけとなるのだから。 「脱出されるのは奴だって嫌なはずだ。なのに、そのキーとなり得る情報を無償で教えようとしてる。それは、絶対に破られない自信があるからだ。……さて、それならここは一体どこだ?」 瀬多の問いに、千枝は口元に手をやって考える。 「えーっと……、太平洋のど真ん中……とかは駄目だよね。首輪を外せたら出られるし」 「……もしかして、結界が張ってあるの?　それなら場所を知られても何の問題もない」 「まあ、そんなものがあるのなら当然施しているだろうな。だがそれはあくまで保険だ」 そう。イザナミが用意した呪縛はそんなものではない。結界だって壊せばそれで済むはずなのだ。絶対に破られないというわけじゃない。 「絶対に逃げられない場所。それは、逃げ場のない場所だ」 「逃げ場所がない……?」 「世界だよ」 全員の思考が一瞬止まった。 「ここは殺し合いの世界。人が殺し合うためだけに存在する世界なんだ。だからたとえ海を渡ろうと、待っているのはこの島のみってわけさ。まぁおそらく、それを知られないように何か細工はしているだろうが」 ここにいる全員が、驚きで声を出せなかった。 「ちょ、ちょっと待って!　それってつまり……、ここは小さな地球ってわけ?」 「その通り。だから俺達は逃げられない。何故なら、世界を渡り歩く力も技術も、神ではない俺達は持ち合わせていないからな」 千枝は思わず放心する。咲夜は動揺を隠そうと必死だし、アドレーヌは先程から驚いてばかりいる。レミリアは無表情だが、元々脱出に関しては瀬多任せだ。大した危機感もないのだろう。 「イザナミが絡んでいる時点でだいたい想像はついていた。だが、今回の件で確信した。俺達は世界を移動しない限り、奴らの顔すら拝めない」 世界を越えて集められた参加者。国産みによって日本を創世したイザナミ。これらの要素は瀬多の推理を補強するものだった。 そして、ここにきて現れた三択の情報提供。その自信に裏打ちされた行為は、これくらいのハンデがなければまずしてこないだろう。 「主催の正体は神に他ならない。そしてここは、神が用意した殺し合いの世界だ」 有り得ない。という言葉は誰も使わなかった。 何故なら、彼らは既に有り得ないことに巻き込まれている。そして、それを実現できる神を、既に二人も知っているのだ。 「ここまで言い切るとは。さすがだな、瀬多総司」 漆黒が薄く笑う。 「……そうだな。これはただの仮説。何の確証もないことは否定しない」 「だが、信じるに値する仮説だ。戦には絶対などという言葉は存在しない。そんな時に必要なのが、将の英断だ。今回の考察は、君にそれができるという証明になった。君の意見に従おう。ここは二番だ」 漆黒の意見に、反対する者はいなかった。 全員の顔を見つめ、その意を確認する。 「よし。じゃあ、二番を選ぶぞ」 瀬多は躊躇なくカーソルを二番に持っていき、ボタンを押した。 『ピンポンピンポンピンポーン!　大正解～～～!!!』 瞬間、イザナミの声が響き渡る。 『いやぁ、運がいいねぇ君。他の選択肢を選んでたら首輪爆発してたよ～』 さっと、アドレーヌが顔が蒼くなる。 「大丈夫。ただのはったりだ」 『その通りでーす!　はったりでーす!』 まるでこちらの動向を察知しているかのようなタイミングでイザナミは言った。 『ちなみに、情報を教える気もありませーん!　ただの時間稼ぎでーす!』 「は!?　ちょ、ちょっと何言ってんのよこいつ!　こっちは散々────」 「少し黙りなさい。声が聞こえない」 咲夜に無理やり口を押さえつけられ、うーうーと唸る千枝。 しかし、瀬多はじっとイザナミを見つめ、その言葉に全神経を集中させていた。 『当然だよねー。こんな重要なこと、主催者の俺が教えるわけないもんね☆　あ、怒った?　ごめんごめん。まぁでも、実はヒントはあげてるんたよ。 間接キッスじゃないよ。ちゃぁんと、く・ち・う・つ・し・で☆　とある人物にだけ、だけどね。そいつを探し出して聞き出せば?　まぁ、そいつも気付いているとは思い難いけどねー。所詮は小僧だから』 （何だかんだと言いながら、色々教えてくれてるじゃないか） 小僧というからにはその人物は男で、おそらく高校生辺りだろう。 （……ん?　待てよ。これはひょっとして……） 『アイラブユーフォーエバー。でも俺は、ちゃぁんと人だって愛してまーす!　というわけで、イザナミちゃんからの貴重な情報提供で・し・た☆』 そこでイザナミの姿は画面から消えた。 「どこまで人を舐めたら気が済むんだ。あの神は」 レミリアが毒づく。 「いや。……これは重要なメッセージだ」 必死で頭を働かせながら、瀬多は呟くように口を開く。 「アイラブユーフォーエバー。イザナミという名前。小僧。そして、口移しでヒントを与えたという言葉。わざわざ間接キスじゃないと言っているところを見ると、これは奴自身が直接ヒントを話したと言いたいんだろう」 「だから何だ?　そんなことがわかったところでどうにもならないじゃないか」 「アイラブユーと言ったんだぞ。そして、続く言葉を見るに、これは人に対して向けられた言葉じゃない。人じゃない誰かに対する言葉だ。こんな回りくどい言い方、何の意味もなくするものじゃない。 このセリフは、誰か特定の人物を匂わせる言葉だ。そして、言う必要もないのにわざわざ自分の名前を明かした。これらの情報は、一人の参加者を指している」 「あ!　そうか!!」 千枝が突然叫んだ。 「瀬多君のことだ!　イザナギとイザナミ。世界を作った二人は夫婦だった。愛し合っていた!」 いつだったか、瀬多と二人、図書館で勉強していた時に日本神話について少しだけ調べたことがあった。自分達のペルソナが日本の神になぞらえられていることに気付いた瀬多が、興味本位で本を漁っていたのを、千枝は横で見ていたのだ。 「もしかして、クリスタルを手に入れた場所……ですか?」 「そうだ。それしかない。あそこで俺達は、思いもかけずヒントをもらっていた。そうイザナミは言いたいんだ」 イザナミの言葉がぐるぐると頭を回る。だが、何も思いつかない。 （なんだ。あいつは何を言っていた?） ────真実なんて虚構だ。君達が真実だと判断したこと。それこそが真実なのさ──── （……違う。一番それらしい言葉だが、何も思いつかない。このフレーズじゃない） しかし、それ以外に奴が仄めかすように言っていた言葉などない。何かほんの少しでも違和感を覚えたフレーズはなかったか。 瀬多は長考する。しかし、いつまで経っても答えは見つからなかった。 「あ、そうだ」 五分程経っただろうか。千枝が咲夜の方を振り返った。 「みんなに教えとくべきじゃない?　ほら、ゲーム機に触れたら味方が増えるってやつ」 （……ゲーム、機?） 「ああ、そうね。あんたもちょっとは頭が回るじゃない。……猿くらいの知能はあるのか」 「おいこらちょっと待て!　普通に聞こえてんぞ!!　猿くらいの知能はってなんだ!　あたしは人間!　人間並みの知能しか持ってない!!　つか、それ以前は猿以下だと思ってたってこと!?」 「そうね。まぁ犬くらいはあったんじゃない?」 「があああ!!　むかつく!!　まじむかつくこの女!!」 ────これも、ゲームを面白くするためだ──── イザナミの言葉。それと同時に別の言葉が浮上する。それはイザナミのものではなく…… ────最高のゲームとは、何でしょうか──── 瞬間、瀬多の中で何かが符号した。 「そうだ!　確か、……確かイゴールも!」 喧嘩を始めていた咲夜達が止まる。それを止めようとしていた漆黒の騎士も、慌てていたアドレーヌも、愉快そうに見ていたレミリアも、全員が瀬多を見つめる。 「くそっ!　そういうことだったのか!　イゴールとの会話があったから違和感に気付かなかった。……いや違うな。イゴールとの会話の時点で、気付くべきだったんだ」 「瀬多。少し落ち着いて、私達にもわかるように説明してくれ」 漆黒の騎士にそう諭され、瀬多は慌てて頷いた。 大きく深呼吸。 （落ち着け。今は冷静になるところだ。この情報を受け、冷静に相手の真意を読むべきところだ。浮かれるところじゃない） 瀬多はそう自分に言い聞かせ、慎重に口を開いた。 「……イザナミは、この殺し合いをゲームだと言った。自分がゲームマスターだと明言した。しかし今思えば、あれは失言中の失言なんだ。イザナミからしてみれば」 ゲームマスターとはゲームの中心に位置する存在だ。その存在を通して、全員がゲーム内の役割を果たす。 「あいつは、ゲームのキャラクターが本当は喋るべきところだと言っていた。しかし、そのキャラクターはマルクという主催者だ。これはマルクの存在を軽視しているということで、そもそもあの段階で言うべき言葉じゃなかった」 自分をゲームマスターだと例えたイザナミが、マルクをゲームのキャラクターとして比喩するということは、彼がゲームの駒だということを意味する。要するに、マルクは参加者である自分達と同等の存在だと明言したことになるのだ。 しかしそれは矛盾している。何故なら、イザナミは主催者をマルクだと偽っていたのだ。自分が裏にいることを隠し、マルクこそが諸悪の根源だと思わせていた。 だからこんなところで、自分の口から自らがゲームマスターだと語ることは、とんでもなく作為的な行為なのだ。 「イザナミにアスタルテ。もはや主催者候補は完全に出揃っている。そこにマルクが付け入る隙は、まぁなさそうね」 マルクはただのピエロだ。ギャラティックノヴァを使って騒動を起こしはしたが、それ単体では何の力も持っていない。そんな者が主催者だと考えるよりは、神であるイザナミが主催者だと考えた方がしっくりくる。 しかし、それをイザナミが隠していたこともまた事実。 「自分を神と断言した時点で容易く論破されることではあるが、それでもわざわざ言う必要はなかった。つまり、イザナミはゲームという言葉を使う必要がなかった」 「何だそれは?　まるでその言葉を使いたいがために、敢えてマルクを傀儡だと教えたとでも言いたいようじゃないか」 「その通りだレミリア。その通りなんだ。あの段階で、イザナミにどんな思惑があったのかはわからない。わからないが、その目的の一つがそれであることは間違いない」 「ゲームという言葉が、どんな意味を持つんですか?」 「正確に言えば、ゲームじゃない。奴は、ゲームという言葉から、“遊び”という言葉を連想させたかったんだ」 イゴールの言い回しも、今思えば不自然だった。 遊びにルールを付与したものがゲーム。そして、ゲームがこの殺し合いだと言う。 しかし、言葉の定義としては若干それは違う。遊びにもルールは存在するし、そもそもそうでなくては遊びではない。あの時は何とも思わなかったが、今思うと、その矛盾は異常なほどに際立っている。 「千枝。遊部、という言葉を聞いたことはないか?」 「え?　あ、あたし!?　うーん……わかんない」 突然名指しされ、慌てながらもきっぱりと千枝は言った。 「古代、朝廷で神事に奉任した役職の一つだ。その役どころを簡単に説明すると……、魂を鎮める職業」 それは、漆黒の騎士もアドレーヌも知るはずのない情報だ。何故ならこれは、日本史に関する知識がなければ知り得ないものなのだから。 「遊びという言葉の起源がそれだ。そしてそこから生まれたのが神遊び。いわゆる、神楽舞いってやつだ」 思わず漆黒の騎士がストップをかける。 「ま、待ってくれ。聞いたことのない話ばかりでついていけない。まず神楽舞いというのはなんだ?」 「別名、神楽。神座という言葉が転じた言葉で、神事を行う際に行われる歌舞だ。以前は神憑りを行い託宣することを目的としたものだったが、今では神事の際における神の奉納の舞いとされている」 全員が首を傾げているところを、千枝と咲夜だけが「聞いたことはある」といった様子で、頷いていた。 「天の岩戸伝説というものがある。太陽の神である天照大御神が岩に閉じこもり、世界が闇に閉ざされた時、天宇受女命は舞いを踊ることで岩から出すことに成功した。 その踊りが神楽、神遊びの起源だといわれている。天宇受女命の子孫、猿女君が宮中で鎮魂の義を携わっており、このことから神楽の元々の意味は招魂・鎮魂・魂振を行う為の儀式だと考えられているんだ」 「……要するに、イザナミのゲームマスターという言葉は、その鎮魂とやらを取り仕切る立場にある、と言いたかったわけか?」 漆黒が腕を組みながら呟く。瀬多は思わず微笑んだ。 「知識なしでついてくるのは厳しいんじゃないかと思っていたが、さすがだな」 「要点だけだ。話は半分も理解していない」 「それだけわかれば十分だ」 瀬多は改めて漆黒の騎士の有能さに感心した。 参加者内でもトップクラスの力を持ち、さらに頭脳明晰。 天は二物を与えるとはこのことか。 そう考え、その天に喧嘩を売ろうとしているかもしれないことを思い出して苦笑する。 「この殺し合いは、神遊びをさせるためのもの。俺達は、世界という巨大な神楽殿の中で、神楽を踊らされているってことだ」 イゴールの定義でいえば、遊びにルールが付与されたものがゲーム。ここでいうゲームが殺し合いで、遊びが神遊びなのだとしたら。 殺し合うというルールが加えられた神遊び。それがこの殺し合いの正体。そう瀬多は考えたのだ。 「私達は、誰かの魂を鎮めるための生贄ってわけ?　要は、墓への供え物として私達の魂を必要とした」 「じゃあ、その死んじゃった人ってのは誰?　すんごい偉い神様?」 咲夜と千枝の言葉に、瀬多は首を振った。 「違う。二人とも鎮魂という意味を勘違いしている。鎮魂は、決して死者に対して行われるものじゃない。元々、生者に対して行われるものだったんだ」 鎮魂、と聞いて一番に連想するのは、死者を鎮めるというものである。現在の風習では確かにその認識は間違っていないが、元々の意味合いとしては少し違う。 「日本は古来から、魂を不定着なものとしてきた。ほら、昔話でよくあるだろ。魂が身体から抜け出すって話が」 「ああ、確かに」 千枝が頷く。 小学校の図書館に置いてあるような怪談話に、そういう話がよく出てきたことを千枝は思い出していた。 おじいさんが眠っている間に魂が抜き出て、浮遊霊となって彷徨う。確かそんな話だった。 「生者であろうと、魂は出たり入ったりするものなんだ。そこで鎮魂の儀式というものがある。要は、出たり入ったりする魂を元々の身体に押し込もうっていう考え方だ。 鎮魂祭という行事があって、それは天皇の魂を体内に納め、活力を高めるために行われている。毎年の恒例行事なんだが、それほど日本人は魂を不定着なものとして見てきたんだ」 鎮魂とは、魂を鎮めるのではなく、肉体に魂を定着させるもの。それが本来の意味なのである。 「……要するに瀬多は、この殺し合いがとある肉体に魂を定着させるものだと言いたいわけか?」 漆黒の言葉に、瀬多は頷いた。 「こいつを見てくれ」 攻略本のとあるページを開いて、瀬多は皆に見せた。 カービィの英雄伝。ギャラティックノヴァを悪用するマルクを倒す話だった。 「ギャラティックノヴァ。何でも願いを叶えてくれる星、だそうだ」 「おいおい。そんなものがあるのなら、それこそ主催の目的なんてどこ吹く風じゃないか。これを使って叶えればそれでいい」 「それはおそらく不可能なんだ。何故なら、ギャラティックノヴァの力を使ったマルクは、カービィに一度負けている」 そう。それはギャラティックノヴァが不完全なものだという証明に他ならない。 「もしもだ。もしも、ギャラティックノヴァを肉体に見立て、そこに魂を集めていたとするならどうだ?　 不定着な魂を、肉体を破壊することで完全に追い出し、本来の身体とは違う別の肉体に移し替えていたとするなら。そしてそれがギャラティックノヴァという入れ物だとするなら、こういう考え方はできないか?　 主催者の目的は魂の収集。この殺し合いは、輪廻転生の世界を作るための足掛かりだと」 その言葉に全員がぎょっとした。 「世界を作る!?　そんな馬鹿げたこと────」 「を、したんだろう?　女神アスタルテは」 漆黒の騎士は黙って頷いた。 「イザナミの目的ははっきり言って不明だ。しかし、アスタルテの目的はわかる。もしも彼女がこの殺し合いに一枚噛んでいるのなら、その目的は世界創世に他ならない。そうだな、漆黒?」 「ああ。確かにその通りだろう。女神は人間を滅ぼすべきだと考えているが、同時に人間を愛していた。闘争もなく、平和のみを考える人間だけが暮らせるより良い世界を作ることが、女神の目的だと考えて間違いない」 全員が押し黙る。これで、瀬多の仮説は少なくとも馬鹿げたものではなくなった。 「世界創世。この仮説を前提に考えると、面白い符号が続々と出てくるんだ。たとえば、さっき説明した天の岩戸伝説。太陽の象徴である天照大御神を呼び戻すための方法が神遊びだったわけだが、元々太陽というのは生命の象徴として使われている。 それを踏まえれば、これはこういう風にもとれないか?　神遊びを行うことで、命をなくした世界を再び生命の住む場所へと変えた。要するに、生命溢れる世界の再構築。これは世界創世の構図だった」 「天の岩戸伝説に則り世界を創世する。そのための舞台役者が私達……」 聞けば聞くほど荒唐無稽な話だ。しかし、それを否定する要素はどこにもない。 「この天の岩戸伝説。一説によれば日食現象を表したものだともいわれている。そして、日食現象というのは死と再生を表す隠喩。太陽を司る天照大御神が岩戸に隠れるということは、その存在の死を意味する。それが神遊びによって生を得て、世界を再び照らし出した。 俺達参加者が滅んだ時世界は暗黒となり、また俺達の死の舞いによって天照大御神は姿を現すっていうわけだ」 岩戸に隠れた太陽。それが参加者の全滅を表している。そして、ギャラティックノヴァへと昇る魂、鎮魂こそが天宇受賣命による神遊びで、天照大御神の復活はその神遊びによって作られた世界のことを表す。 天の岩戸伝説を見立てた世界創世。それがこの殺し合いの正体。 確かにそれは、まったく矛盾なくこの殺し合いの本質を説明していた。 「……その面白い符号とやらはまだあると?」 瀬多は頷いた。 「誰かが世界を創世したいと考えたとしよう。しかし、その力を持っていても必ず世界は悪い方向へ向かってしまう。人間は争いを止めず、自分の思う世界が作れない。どうにかしたい。そう考えた時に、ギャラティックノヴァを見つけた」 漆黒の騎士の目が大きく開かれる。 「……まさか」 「だがギャラティックノヴァには、悪い人間、負の闘争というものが認識できない。何故なら、それはあまりにも漠然としたもので、人によって定義が変わるからだ。ギャラティックノヴァは言葉通りにしか受け取らない。言葉という不完全な伝達手段を用いて願いを叶える。 だからたとえ正に満ちた世界を、正の気しか持たない人間を作ろうとしても、それはギャラティックノヴァが厳選したもので、自分の意に当てはまるものではない可能性があった。それを解消するには……」 「……認識、させればいい。……そうか。それが殺し合いを開いた理由。私達の闘争を、自分の世界にはいらない事象を抹消させるための……!」 殺し合い。それは時に、戦争よりも大きな負の感情と悲劇を生む。 疑心、殺意、利己心。 この場所は、確かに人間の醜さの集大成といえた。 その集大成を認識させ、あるいは自分達の価値感に合わせて厳選し、そんなことが起こらないような世界を作ってくれと願えば、理想の世界は創世される。 「実は、千枝の言っていた仮説は一見的外れなようで、かなり真実に近い仮説だったんだ」 「へ!?　わ、私なんか言ってたっけ?」 「ゲーム機の機能だよ。助っ人は一体どうやって自分達を助けるつもりなのかっていう話になっただろ?　 あの時、魂だけを取り出して新しい肉体に移し替えるんじゃないかって言ってたじゃないか。あれが実はこの世界自体の機能で、しかもその魂の入れ物、新しい肉体は既に決まっていた。ギャラティックノヴァという、どんな願いも叶えられるスペックを備えた星に」 図らずも、千枝はこの殺し合いの本質を突いていたということだ。 それを指摘した本人が一番驚いているようだが。 「最後の符号を教えよう。マナという言葉を聞いたことはあるか?　超自然的な力の概念で、映画やゲームにもよくでてくるものなんだが、要は世界に宿る生命エネルギーのようなものだ。日本神道ではそのマナを外来魂と言うらしい」 千枝も、マナという単語は耳にしたことがあった。 「依り代という言葉があるように、日本では古来からあらゆるものに神や精霊が宿るとしてきた。海、山、大地、太陽、といったものにな。その神や精霊のことを、総じて外来魂と呼ぶんだ」 あらゆるものに外来魂が宿る。そして、その外来魂がマナと呼ばれる生命エネルギー。この世にある全てのものは、その生命エネルギーがあって存在することができるということだ。 「あらゆるものに宿るエネルギー、力が外来魂と言うなら、こういう考え方もできないか?　 俺達の肉体にもそのエネルギー、外来魂は宿っているはずだと。そして、それが俗に言われる魂であるとするなら、俺達の魂は海や大地の外来魂の代替物として使えるんじゃないかって」 魂という世界を創世するためのエネルギー。それを集めるのが、この殺し合いの目的の一つなんじゃないか。そう瀬多は言いたいのだ。 「……世界創世を企む者にとって、私達の魂は最高のエネルギー体ってわけね」 「神も認めない濁った魂はマナとして世界の礎にしてしまえば効率が良い。神が良しとする魂は、転生される魂の候補としてギャラティックノヴァに仕舞い込んでしまえばいい。 そうして厳選された魂と、使用者の望まぬものを認識したギャラティックノヴァに再度お願いをするんだ。より良い世界を作って下さい。……まさに大団円だな」 全員が押し黙った。 そのあまりに壮大なスケールに、皆が圧倒されていた。 天の岩戸伝説になぞらえた殺し合い。負の感情を認識させる殺し合い。魂を収集するための殺し合い。 瀬多が提示した三つの仮説。その全てが一つの目的を指し示している。 世界創世という、これ以上にない程の強大な目的を。 Reach Out To The Truth(２)へ

      For both two fishes, the body near the lower jaw was missing, and the bone was exposed. Since they were unreliable, she had to pay careful attention especially when she held the dorsal fins in her hands with her arms spread. Then, two fishes were jolted and began to move ahead in the lake, followed by her.   He had gone to his alma mater as a practice teacher after graduation. He had a fearful experience in the short period of about two weeks. It was the third day of the training period. The chime rang the end and he got to come back through the corridor to the staff room with Ms. Arai whose lesson he had observed. Attend my nephew s wedding, please. He was surprised since she invited him as if she conveyed a message to make sure that he doesn t fail to be in time for tomorrow s morning gathering. It was after he graduated from the high school that Ms. Arai arrived in her current post. It meant that he has just met her. It was the third day more exactly. Much less, he did not know her nephew at all. Are other teachers also to come? He checked it in a prudent tone. Nobody comes.  She spat out. He was not able to go to sleep easily that day. He couldn t describe how it would be awkward, but it was thought that it is not good for him to go forward over other teachers. On the next day, he declined politely. It was a chat which buttonholed Ms. Arai at the main entrance. It s all right.  She seemed not to be worried,  Do you go to the gymnasium? Yes, he replied. He was attending the basketball club to which he is an old boy. It was the basketball club that was to use the gymnasium that day. Then please hand a visitor this.  Ms. Arai stooped down to pick up a pair of scuffs.   PREV / NEXT   Waterfall 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

• Anne of Green Gables　のぺーじ - CHAPTER XXXIV

  https://w.atwiki.jp/pyopyo0124/pages/48.html

  CHAPTER XXXIII UP CHAPTER XXXV CHAPTER XXXIV A Queen s Girl The next three weeks were busy ones at Green Gables, for Anne was getting ready to go to Queen s, and there was much sewing to be done, and many things to be talked over and arranged. Anne s outfit was ample and pretty, for Matthew saw to that, and Marilla for once made no objections whatever to anything he purchased or suggested. More-- one evening she went up to the east gable with her arms full of a delicate pale green material. "Anne, here s something for a nice light dress for you. I don t suppose you really need it; you ve plenty of pretty waists; but I thought maybe you d like something real dressy to wear if you were asked out anywhere of an evening in town, to a party or anything like that. I hear that Jane and Ruby and Josie have got `evening dresses, as they call them, and I don t mean you shall be behind them. I got Mrs. Allan to help me pick it in town last week, and we ll get Emily Gillis to make it for you. Emily has got taste, and her fits aren t to be equaled." "Oh, Marilla, it s just lovely," said Anne. "Thank you so much. I don t believe you ought to be so kind to me--it s making it harder every day for me to go away." The green dress was made up with as many tucks and frills and shirrings as Emily s taste permitted. Anne put it on one evening for Matthew s and Marilla s benefit, and recited "The Maiden s Vow" for them in the kitchen. As Marilla watched the bright, animated face and graceful motions her thoughts went back to the evening Anne had arrived at Green Gables, and memory recalled a vivid picture of the odd, frightened child in her preposterous yellowish-brown wincey dress, the heartbreak looking out of her tearful eyes. Something in the memory brought tears to Marilla s own eyes. "I declare, my recitation has made you cry, Marilla," said Anne gaily stooping over Marilla s chair to drop a butterfly kiss on that lady s cheek. "Now, I call that a positive triumph." "No, I wasn t crying over your piece," said Marilla, who would have scorned to be betrayed into such weakness by any poetry stuff. "I just couldn t help thinking of the little girl you used to be, Anne. And I was wishing you could have stayed a little girl, even with all your queer ways. You ve grown up now and you re going away; and you look so tall and stylish and so--so--different altogether in that dress--as if you didn t belong in Avonlea at all-- and I just got lonesome thinking it all over." "Marilla!" Anne sat down on Marilla s gingham lap, took Marilla s lined face between her hands, and looked gravely and tenderly into Marilla s eyes. "I m not a bit changed-- not really. I m only just pruned down and branched out. The real ME--back here--is just the same. It won t make a bit of difference where I go or how much I change outwardly; at heart I shall always be your little Anne, who will love you and Matthew and dear Green Gables more and better every day of her life." Anne laid her fresh young cheek against Marilla s faded one, and reached out a hand to pat Matthew s shoulder. Marilla would have given much just then to have possessed Anne s power of putting her feelings into words; but nature and habit had willed it otherwise, and she could only put her arms close about her girl and hold her tenderly to her heart, wishing that she need never let her go. Matthew, with a suspicious moisture in his eyes, got up and went out-of-doors. Under the stars of the blue summer night he walked agitatedly across the yard to the gate under the poplars. "Well now, I guess she ain t been much spoiled," he muttered, proudly. "I guess my putting in my oar occasional never did much harm after all. She s smart and pretty, and loving, too, which is better than all the rest. She s been a blessing to us, and there never was a luckier mistake than what Mrs. Spencer made--if it WAS luck. I don t believe it was any such thing. It was Providence, because the Almighty saw we needed her, I reckon." The day finally came when Anne must go to town. She and Matthew drove in one fine September morning, after a tearful parting with Diana and an untearful practical one-- on Marilla s side at least--with Marilla. But when Anne had gone Diana dried her tears and went to a beach picnic at White Sands with some of her Carmody cousins, where she contrived to enjoy herself tolerably well; while Marilla plunged fiercely into unnecessary work and kept at it all day long with the bitterest kind of heartache--the ache that burns and gnaws and cannot wash itself away in ready tears. But that night, when Marilla went to bed, acutely and miserably conscious that the little gable room at the end of the hall was untenanted by any vivid young life and unstirred by any soft breathing, she buried her face in her pillow, and wept for her girl in a passion of sobs that appalled her when she grew calm enough to reflect how very wicked it must be to take on so about a sinful fellow creature. Anne and the rest of the Avonlea scholars reached town just in time to hurry off to the Academy. That first day passed pleasantly enough in a whirl of excitement, meeting all the new students, learning to know the professors by sight and being assorted and organized into classes. Anne intended taking up the Second Year work being advised to do so by Miss Stacy; Gilbert Blythe elected to do the same. This meant getting a First Class teacher s license in one year instead of two, if they were successful; but it also meant much more and harder work. Jane, Ruby, Josie, Charlie, and Moody Spurgeon, not being troubled with the stirrings of ambition, were content to take up the Second Class work. Anne was conscious of a pang of loneliness when she found herself in a room with fifty other students, not one of whom she knew, except the tall, brown-haired boy across the room; and knowing him in the fashion she did, did not help her much, as she reflected pessimistically. Yet she was undeniably glad that they were in the same class; the old rivalry could still be carried on, and Anne would hardly have known what to do if it had been lacking. "I wouldn t feel comfortable without it," she thought. "Gilbert looks awfully determined. I suppose he s making up his mind, here and now, to win the medal. What a splendid chin he has! I never noticed it before. I do wish Jane and Ruby had gone in for First Class, too. I suppose I won t feel so much like a cat in a strange garret when I get acquainted, though. I wonder which of the girls here are going to be my friends. It s really an interesting speculation. Of course I promised Diana that no Queen s girl, no matter how much I liked her, should ever be as dear to me as she is; but I ve lots of second-best affections to bestow. I like the look of that girl with the brown eyes and the crimson waist. She looks vivid and red-rosy; there s that pale, fair one gazing out of the window. She has lovely hair, and looks as if she knew a thing or two about dreams. I d like to know them both--know them well--well enough to walk with my arm about their waists, and call them nicknames. But just now I don t know them and they don t know me, and probably don t want to know me particularly. Oh, it s lonesome!" It was lonesomer still when Anne found herself alone in her hall bedroom that night at twilight. She was not to board with the other girls, who all had relatives in town to take pity on them. Miss Josephine Barry would have liked to board her, but Beechwood was so far from the Academy that it was out of the question; so miss Barry hunted up a boarding-house, assuring Matthew and Marilla that it was the very place for Anne. "The lady who keeps it is a reduced gentlewoman," explained Miss Barry. "Her husband was a British officer, and she is very careful what sort of boarders she takes. Anne will not meet with any objectionable persons under her roof. The table is good, and the house is near the Academy, in a quiet neighborhood." All this might be quite true, and indeed, proved to be so, but it did not materially help Anne in the first agony of homesickness that seized upon her. She looked dismally about her narrow little room, with its dull-papered, pictureless walls, its small iron bedstead and empty book- case; and a horrible choke came into her throat as she thought of her own white room at Green Gables, where she would have the pleasant consciousness of a great green still outdoors, of sweet peas growing in the garden, and moonlight falling on the orchard, of the brook below the slope and the spruce boughs tossing in the night wind beyond it, of a vast starry sky, and the light from Diana s window shining out through the gap in the trees. Here there was nothing of this; Anne knew that outside of her window was a hard street, with a network of telephone wires shutting out the sky, the tramp of alien feet, and a thousand lights gleaming on stranger faces. She knew that she was going to cry, and fought against it. "I WON T cry. It s silly--and weak--there s the third tear splashing down by my nose. There are more coming! I must think of something funny to stop them. But there s nothing funny except what is connected with Avonlea, and that only makes things worse--four--five--I m going home next Friday, but that seems a hundred years away. Oh, Matthew is nearly home by now--and Marilla is at the gate, looking down the lane for him--six--seven--eight-- oh, there s no use in counting them! They re coming in a flood presently. I can t cheer up--I don t WANT to cheer up. It s nicer to be miserable!" The flood of tears would have come, no doubt, had not Josie Pye appeared at that moment. In the joy of seeing a familiar face Anne forgot that there had never been much love lost between her and Josie. As a part of Avonlea life even a Pye was welcome. "I m so glad you came up," Anne said sincerely. "You ve been crying," remarked Josie, with aggravating pity. "I suppose you re homesick--some people have so little self-control in that respect. I ve no intention of being homesick, I can tell you. Town s too jolly after that poky old Avonlea. I wonder how I ever existed there so long. You shouldn t cry, Anne; it isn t becoming, for your nose and eyes get red, and then you seem ALL red. I d a perfectly scrumptious time in the Academy today. Our French professor is simply a duck. His moustache would give you kerwollowps of the heart. Have you anything eatable around, Anne? I m literally starving. Ah, I guessed likely Marilla d load you up with cake. That s why I called round. Otherwise I d have gone to the park to hear the band play with Frank Stockley. He boards same place as I do, and he s a sport. He noticed you in class today, and asked me who the red-headed girl was. I told him you were an orphan that the Cuthberts had adopted, and nobody knew very much about what you d been before that." Anne was wondering if, after all, solitude and tears were not more satisfactory than Josie Pye s companionship when Jane and Ruby appeared, each with an inch of Queen s color ribbon--purple and scarlet--pinned proudly to her coat. As Josie was not "speaking" to Jane just then she had to subside into comparative harmlessness. "Well," said Jane with a sigh, "I feel as if I d lived many moons since the morning. I ought to be home studying my Virgil--that horrid old professor gave us twenty lines to start in on tomorrow. But I simply couldn t settle down to study tonight. Anne, methinks I see the traces of tears. If you ve been crying DO own up. It will restore my self-respect, for I was shedding tears freely before Ruby came along. I don t mind being a goose so much if somebody else is goosey, too. Cake? You ll give me a teeny piece, won t you? Thank you. It has the real Avonlea flavor." Ruby, perceiving the Queen s calendar lying on the table, wanted to know if Anne meant to try for the gold medal. Anne blushed and admitted she was thinking of it. "Oh, that reminds me," said Josie, "Queen s is to get one of the Avery scholarships after all. The word came today. Frank Stockley told me--his uncle is one of the board of governors, you know. It will be announced in the Academy tomorrow." An Avery scholarship! Anne felt her heart beat more quickly, and the horizons of her ambition shifted and broadened as if by magic. Before Josie had told the news Anne s highest pinnacle of aspiration had been a teacher s provincial license, First Class, at the end of the year, and perhaps the medal! But now in one moment Anne saw herself winning the Avery scholarship, taking an Arts course at Redmond College, and graduating in a gown and mortar board, before the echo of Josie s words had died away. For the Avery scholarship was in English, and Anne felt that here her foot was on native heath. A wealthy manufacturer of New Brunswick had died and left part of his fortune to endow a large number of scholarships to be distributed among the various high schools and academies of the Maritime Provinces, according to their respective standings. There had been much doubt whether one would be allotted to Queen s, but the matter was settled at last, and at the end of the year the graduate who made the highest mark in English and English Literature would win the scholarship-- two hundred and fifty dollars a year for four years at Redmond College. No wonder that Anne went to bed that night with tingling cheeks! "I ll win that scholarship if hard work can do it," she resolved. "Wouldn t Matthew be proud if I got to be a B.A.? Oh, it s delightful to have ambitions. I m so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them-- that s the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting."

  天冠の城壁《SKYCROWN BATTLEMENTS》 Sergeant Dalen What in the Hells was that? 今のは一体？ Barbalian An illusion, to frighten you. 怖がらせるための幻影だ。 DemonHunter An illusion. I wouldn t worry about it. 単なる幻影。心配することはない。 Monk An illusion, nothing more. 単なる幻影。それだけだ。 WitchDoctor An illusion to drive fear into your heart. 恐怖に陥れるための幻影だろう。 Wizard An illusion, to frighten you. 怖がらせるための幻影です。 Sergeant Dalen We ve seen the fires you ve lit. Fear has no more hold on us! あんたが灯した炎が見えたからな。何も畏れはしない！ Sergeant Dalen The catapults could break Azmodan s lines, but we can t raise them from their berths while demons swarm over the walls! カタパルト(投石器)があればアズモダンの戦列を崩す事ができるはずだ、だが魔物の群れが壁を乗り越えて来ている為に私達では起動できないのだ！ NEW !［　］Catapults raised in Stonefort (防衛区画《STONEFORT》でカタパルトを起動する 0/3)} Barbalian I ll raise the catapults and send those mongrels back to the hells that spawned them! オレ(アタシ)がカタパルトを起動しよう、野良犬どもは生まれ故郷の地獄に送り返してやる！ DemonHunter I will raise the catapults and send Azmodan s legions to their deaths. 私がカタパルトを起動しよう、奴らの死体はアズモダン元へ届けてやるさ。 Monk I shall help your men and raise these catapults. The demons will feel fear. 私があなたの仲間を助け、カタパルトを起動しましょう。魔物達が恐怖を感じる番さ。 WitchDoctor Worry not. The catapults shall be raised and the demons will flee back to the hells that spawned them. 心配は無用。カタパルトはまもなく起動し、魔物たちも生まれ出でた地獄に逃げ帰っていくだろう。 Wizard Don t worry. I ll make sure the catapults are raised. The demons will truly feel fear! 心配しなくていい(わ)。カタパルトを起動させるのを約束しよう。魔物たちは恐怖を感じるだろう(でしょう)。 防衛区画《STONEFORT》 城砦の防衛拠点《BASTION S KEEP STRONGHOLD》 前クエストの最後に登場した Sergeant Dalen に話しかけていない、 もしくは当クエストをメニューから再開した場合は、ティラエルに話しかける事でクエスト開始。 Tyrael I can see the signal fires lit all across the keep and on the battlefield. The defenders rally to the fires. 城砦中に明かりを灯すのが見えたぞ、戦場へも広がっている。灯りを頼りに兵たちが集まっているのだ。 Tyrael But though the battlements are secured, we have bought ourselves no victory, only time. 城壁の安全はとりあえず確保できただろう、だがこれだけでは勝利に繋がりはしない。 Tyrael We need the catapults. But with the demons on the walls, the crews have been unable to raise them. 我々にはカタパルトが必要だ。だが魔物がいては作業兵が起動できないだろう。 Barbalian We must bring the catapults to bear. オレ(アタシ)達でカタパルトを起動させてやらねば。 DemonHunter We must prepare the catapults to protect the walls from more attacks. 更なる攻撃から城壁を守るため、私達でカタパルトを起動しなければ。 Monk We must bring the catapults to bear. 私達でカタパルトを起動させなければ。 WitchDoctor We will need the catapults to keep the walls safe. 城壁の安全を維持するために、私達にはカタパルトが必要だ。 Wizard We must prepare the catapults to protect the walls from more attacks. 更なる攻撃から城壁を守るため、私達でカタパルトを起動しなければ。 【選択肢】The Thrill of Battle (戦闘の高揚感) +... Tyrael I am once again filled with the thrill of battle. It has been too long since I have raised my blade against the forces of the Burning Hells. 戦う事の高揚感に私は再び満ち溢れている。かつて我が剣を掲げ灼熱の地獄の軍勢と相対した時はもうかなり前の話だ。 Tyrael I remember countless battles within the heart of Pandemonium, as my brethren and I risked everything to drive the demonspawn back to their hells. 万魔殿でのいつ終わるとも知れぬ戦いを思い出す、同胞達と私は全てをかけて奴らを地獄に追い返そうと奮起していた。 ▼Barbalian、▼Wizard Barbalian Battles to be celebrated in song, eh? 詩(うた)に語られている、偉大な者たちの戦いだな。 Wizard Those battles must have been something to behold. その戦いは壮絶であったに違いない。 Tyrael They were glorious. あぁ、栄光ある者達だ。 ▼DemonHunter DemonHunter A noble effort. 気高き行為だ。 Tyrael Yes, it was. あぁ、まさにその通りだった。 ▼Monk Monk Battles worthy of the gods themselves. 神々にも称えられる戦いだろう。 Tyrael I do not know your gods, friend, but they were indeed glorious battles. そなたらの神々の事は分からないが、彼らの戦いは確かに栄光あるものであった。 ▼WitchDoctor WitchDoctor The spirits do not know of these places or these battles. 精霊たちはそのような場所・その様な戦いを知らない。 Tyrael Your spirits are unaware of some glorious battles, then, my friend. そなたの精霊たちでも知らぬ栄光ある戦いもあったようだな、我が友よ。 ［職業共通にもどる］ Tyrael We waged our... Eternal Conflict since the light first broke upon creation. But now, for the first time, it feels as if its end is in sight. 我々は...創生の時より終わるとも知れぬ戦いを続けてきた。だが今、ここに来て終わりが見えてきたようだ。 【選択肢】Raising the Catapults (カタパルトの起動) +... Haedrig Eamon It will be difficult to break Azmodan s advance without the catapults brought to bear. The demons numbers are too great. In time, they will overrun us. アズモダンの軍勢相手にカタパルト無しじゃ難しいだろう。なにしろ数え切れんほどの数だからな。ほっとくと俺達は蹂躙されちまうだろうな。 Haedrig Eamon But if the catapults can be raised, our superior position may make all the difference. カタパルトさえ起動しちまえば、優位に事が運べるってもんだ。 【Tooth and Nail】 Villager I have a dagger now. It isn t much, but it will make them underestimate me. 私には短剣がある。十分とは言えないけれど、私を過小評価させるには使えるわね。（油断させると言う意味で） Barbalian Yes, it would. They are lucky you are not out on the walls. あぁ、その通りだな。奴らは運がいい、城壁の上にアンタが居ない訳だからな。 DemonHunter Your determination is your greatest weapon. Only a fool would ignore it. その確固たる意思こそが最高の武器となる。愚かな奴らはそれを疎かにするもんさ。 Monk If only every man who held a blade had your strength. 兵士達もあなたのような強さを持っているといいな。 WitchDoctor Only demons would be foolish enough to attack a mother protecting her cubs. 幼き子供を守る母親に手を出してしまうとは魔物は愚かなのだな。 Wizard Your courage is your greatest weapon. その勇気こそが、あなたの最高の武器となります。 【Other Ways】 Guard of the Keep (右) There s a hundred other places the demons could come at us. From below, for instance. 何処に居たって魔物から逃れる事はできないさ。この下も駄目そうじゃないか。 Guard of the Keep (左) You mean up through the keep? The fortifications are even tougher down there! この拠点が破られるって言いたいのか？ここの防衛力は万全だ、破られるわけがないだろ！ Silmak%20the%20Fence%20Camp.jpg Silmak the Fence Let s see how the demons like it when our catapults are raining fiery death down on them, eh? 俺たちのカタパルトが起動して怒涛(どとう)の攻撃を奴らにしてやったら、奴らがどう思うのか見物だな、だろ？ 【Last Stands】 Guard Sarth (上) Half of the weapons in this heap are covered in rust. What has the quartermaster been doing with his time? この武器の山の半分は錆びちまってる。補給係は何をやってるんだ？ Guard Findal (下) Fighting alongside us for days, you fool. ここ数日間は戦闘に参加してるんだよ、馬鹿者が。 【Madness】 Drian It s madness out there. Please leave. Head south as fast as you can, and warn everyone you meet. 外は狂気に充ちてる。頼むから逃げてくれ。出来るだけ早く南に向かって、会う人全てに危機を伝えるんだ。 Nikola Will you come with me? 一緒に来てくれる？ Drian You know I can t. それは出来ないって知ってるだろ。 Nikola Then I m staying. Put a sword in my hand and I ll fight alongside you. You re not getting rid of me that easily. なら私はここに残ります。私に剣を頂戴、あなたと一緒に戦うわ。あなたを簡単に手放しはしないわ。 ［南の負傷した兵士達、近くに居ると４名がランダムで発言］ Mortally Wounded Guard My guts are burning! 精も根も尽きた！ Mortally Wounded Guard I think it poisoned me! 俺の体は病んじまった！ Mortally Wounded Guard It won t stop bleeding. 血が止まらねぇ。 Hopeless Guard That huge centipede creature vomited demons down upon us! What chance do we have against something like that? あの巨大なムカデの化け物が魔物を吐き出すんだよ！あんな化け物相手にして何をしろって言うんだ？ Hopeless Guard They never stop coming! 奴らを止める手立てはない！ Hopeless Guard What are we going to do? 俺達は一体どうすればいいというのだ？ Desperate Guard Damn it! If we had the catapults up, maybe there d be a chance! クソっ！カタパルトさえ起動できたら、きっとチャンスが生まれるのに！ Desperate Guard I hear they re digging at the foundations. Is it true? 奴らが要塞の土台を掘り返そうとしていると聞いた。本当か？ Desperate Guard We have to go on the assault. We can t just wait here to die! 俺達は戦いに行かねばならない。ここでただ死を待つ訳にはいかないんだ！ Despairing Guard One of the flyers picked up Captain Haile! Gods, do you think he s dead? 空を飛ぶ魔物がヘイル隊長をさらって行っちまった！神様、隊長は亡くなったのでしょうか？ Despairing Guard We kill them and they get up again! 幾ら殺しても起き上がってきやがる！ Despairing Guard I can still hear them laughing! 奴らの笑い声がまだ聞こえる！ 【Waiting】 Small Boy Did you see my da out there? He promised he was coming back. 外でパパを見なかった？帰って来るって約束したんだ。 Little Girl Do you think we re going to die? 私達死んじゃうの？ Little Boy Don t be stupid. Mum says the walls are impentrable. 馬鹿なこと言っちゃ駄目だよ。このお城は壊れないってママが言ったもの。 Little Girl Why is she crying, then? じゃあなんでママは泣いてるの？ 【Hope】 Villager You aren t going to leave, are you? I hear that you re the only reinforcements we re going to get. あなたはここに残るんでしょう？あなたは私達が得た唯一の援軍だって聞いたわ。 Barbalian You and your children will be safe. You must have hope. あんたとその子供はもう大丈夫さ。希望を持て。 DemonHunter I won t leave until the keep is secure and every last demon is dead in the snow. 要塞が堅持され、残った全ての魔物が雪の中で死体となるまでは去るつもりはない。 Monk The only reinforcements you will need. Have hope, I will keep you safe. あなたが必要とした唯一の援軍だ。希望を持ちなさい。私が守る。 WitchDoctor You and your children will be safe. You must have hope. あなたとその子供の安全は保障された。希望を持つのだ。 Wizard You and your children will be safe. You must have hope. あなたとその子供はもう安全だ(よ)。希望を持ちなさい。 Villager My husband said the same thing. What do you think happened to him? 夫も同じことを言っていたわ。彼が今どうしているのか、あなた知らない？ 【選択肢】More Memory (他の思い出) +... Barbalian Tell me another story from your past. 他の思い出話を聞かせてくれ。 DemonHunter I would like to hear another story from your past. 他の思い出話を是非聞かせて欲しいものだ。 Monk Tell me another story from your past. 他の思い出話を聞かせてくれ。 WitchDoctor I would enjoy another story from your past. 他の思い出話を楽しみたいものだ。 Wizard I know I may regret this, but I d like to hear another story about your past. 他の思い出話を聞かせて貰わないと、きっと後悔するだろうな。 ［聞くたびに内容が変わる。下記いずれか］ ▼その１ Covetous Shen During the Festival of Masks many years ago, a lady stole my money pouch and kiss from me. Of course I had to catch her. 何年も前の仮面祭のときの話だが、ある淑女がワシに不意のキスをして、おまけに財布を盗んで行きおった。勿論捕まえなきゃならん。 Covetous Shen In those days, I was quite an athlete. I chased her halfway across the city s moonlit rooftops, wearing nothing more than a mask with a gigantic nose. それから数日間、ワシは完全に運動選手のようじゃった。月明かりが照らす家々の屋根を越え、ワシは全裸どころか巨大な鼻を持つ仮面のみを被った姿で、彼女を半ばまで追い詰めた。 Covetous Shen I never caught her, but I still remember her laugh. 結局逃がしたが、彼女の笑い声を未だに覚えとる。 ▼その２ Covetous Shen I once travelled with a Vecin wagon tribe for six months. It was one of the happiest times of my life! Until, of course, that night I drank too much of that delicious flaming cider, heheh. ワシはかつて六ヶ月に渡ってベシン放浪民族と共に旅をした。ワシの人生の中でも最良の時間の一つだった！そう、あの炎のように薫り立つ極上の果実酒で酔い潰れた晩までは、フフッ。 Covetous Shen I woke up in a beautiful married woman s bed with my trousers on my head so that I wouldn t lose them of course. Naturally, her husband came in just then. 目覚めたワシは美しい人妻のベッドの中にいた。なくさないようズボンを頭に巻き付けた姿でな。当たり前だが、彼女の夫が直ぐにやって来た。 Covetous Shen I had to leave in a hurry, of course, but I followed that wagon train for three more months, sneaking into her wagon whenever her husband finally fell asleep. 勿論急いで逃げなくちゃならんかったが、ワシは三ヶ月以上幌馬車の列をこっそり追い続け、件の夫が眠りに着くや、毎度こっそり人妻の許に忍び込んだんじゃ。 ▼その３ Covetous Shen I spent a particularly frozen winter in Scosglen many years ago, and I had always wondered if druids kept their clothes on after they shifted back to human form. 何年も前、ワシはスコスグレンで特に厳しい冬を過ごしたんじゃが、ドルイドは人間の姿に戻ったときに衣服を身に纏うのかどうか、いつも疑問に思っとった。 Covetous Shen It would have been impolite to ask, so in the interests of broadening my cultural horizons, I followed a lovely druid to her bathing pool. 直接尋ねるのも不作法だろうし、見聞を広げたいという思いもあって、ワシは可愛らしいドルイドが水浴びに行くのを尾行した。 Covetous Shen Moved by the moonlight and the spirit of cultural exploration, I began serenading her from the bushes. Ah, little druid, you re so lovely, druid, druid, druid, eheh... 月明かりと文化的探求の精神に突き動かされ、ワシは茂みの中から彼女に捧ぐセレナーデを歌い始めた。ああ、可憐なドルイド、なんと愛おしい、ドルイド、ドルイド、ドルイド、アーアー… Covetous Shen She chased me for three miles, snapping at my heels with her ferocious teeth. It was marvelous. 彼女はワシを3マイルも追いかけ回し、獰猛な牙でワシの踵（かかと）に噛み付いた。優雅な話じゃろ。 ▼その４ Covetous Shen I was once lost in the Dry Steppes. They don t come by their name lightly! No water, and the sun! An unbearable, unblinking eye! ワシはかつて乾燥したステップ（大草原）で遭難したことがある。如何にも飛び跳ねそうな軽快な名前だが、現実は違う！水は無い、日差しは強い！耐え難い、現実の冷徹な視線！ Covetous Shen In my delirium, I decided that it would be cooler without any clothes on. So I wandered for three days, my skin ruby red, until I fell directly into a lucky oasis. 意識が朦朧（もうろう）とする中、服を全て脱ぎ捨ててしまえば少しは涼しくなるだろうと決断した。それから、ワシの肌はルビーのように赤く灼け、幸運にもオアシスに転げ落ちるまで三日の間彷徨った。 Covetous Shen Ah, to this day, I don t know if the stranded harem I found there was anything more than a wonderful and tremendously wicked hallucination... Eh, but who cares? ああ、そこで見付けた抗い難い魅力に充ちたハレムが、素晴らしくそしてひどく不道徳な幻覚ではなくて、現実のものであったのかどうか、今に至ってもワシには分からんのだ…。こんな話、興味あるかね？ ▼その５ Covetous Shen A great long time ago, I decided to swim across the Frozen Sea. I had heard that beautiful aquatic women swim in its depths, and I wanted to make their acquaintance. 大昔、凍て付いた海を泳いで渡ろうと決めたことがある。水中に棲む美しい女達がその海の深淵にいると聞き、知己を得ようと思ったのだ。 Covetous Shen I never found them, sadly, and I nearly drowned before I was rescued by a ship of female pearl divers. They allowed me to stay on as a cook for some time, and learn their ways. 残念ながら見付けられず、その上溺れて死にかけて、真珠採りの海女さんの船に助けられた。彼女達は暫くの間ワシがコックとして船に留まることを許してくれ、色々教えてくれた。 Covetous Shen For instance, did you know that you can swim faster if you wear no clothes at all? 例えば、素っ裸ならより速く泳げることを知っとったか？ ▼その６ Covetous Shen My tenth wife was a lovely barbarian. She was a good two hands taller than I. A stunning woman. ワシの十番目の妻は可愛らしいバーバリアンだった。彼女はワシより腕二本分背が高かった。痺れるような良い女だ。 Covetous Shen Our marriage ended abruptly when she discovered that I had been visiting her ten closest friends while she was away on raids. ワシらの結婚生活は突然終わってしまった。妻が遠征している間、彼女の十人の親友の許へ通っていたのがバレたときに、な。 Covetous Shen She threw me off a cliff! Luckily, my head broke the fall. That may be why I still can t remember her name. What was her... 妻はワシを崖から放り投げた！幸いにも頭を打っただけで済んだが、それが彼女の名前を未だに思い出せない理由だろう。何と言ったかな…。 【Who Else?】 Marta I m not leaving, Rondal, and that s final. If I went, who would tell you that your left vambrace is unbuckled? 私はまだ離れないよロンダル、それは最期の時よ。私が行くのなら、誰にその手甲の留め金を外すように頼めばいい？ Rondal Well, this time, I mean it. You... Huh? No, it isn t! あぁ、今回は...そうだな。お前に...ん？違う、そうじゃないだろ！ Marta Ahahaha, you still looked, dear. アハハハ、まだ大丈夫そうじゃないか、あんた。 【The Larder】 Former Mayor Holus There s a terrible stench coming up from below. Oh no! What if the demons have infested the larder? 下から恐ろしく酷い臭いが上がって来るんだ。まさか！魔物達が食料庫を汚染してるんじゃないのか？ ※補足：DHの返答から予想するに、この男は自前の食料を皆に分け与えず、食料庫に保管していると思われる Barbalian Then you will have finally found a cause worth fighting for. なら、アンタはやっと戦うに値する全うな理由を手に入れたって事だな。 DemonHunter You mean you haven t been giving your rations to the half-starved children over there? つまりお前は、自前の食料をそこらで餓死しかけている子供に分け与えていないという事だな？ Monk That is what alarms you? You are a sad man. それが何だというのだ？哀れな男だ。 WitchDoctor This? This is what alarms you? That demons might be eating your chickens? この臭いが？これが何だというのだ？魔物達がお前の食料を食べていると？ Wizard If you are so troubled, perhaps you should go investigate? そんなに困っているのなら、自分で調べに行ってみればどうだ(どうですか)？dddd
