I'll not bother you, then. str_npc8_intro_response_2|Nothing at all, from one so clearly disinclined to offer pleasantries. Good day to you. str_npc9_intro_response_2|Fetch it yourself! str_npc10_intro_response_2|I'm busy, and have no time for games. str_npc11_intro_response_2|I think not. str_npc12_intro_response_2|Sorry, I am afraid that I am otherwise engaged right now. str_npc13_intro_response_2|Well... how... splendid. str_npc14_intro_response_2|Nothing at all. My apologies. str_npc15_intro_response_2|I'd be obliged if you minded your own business. str_npc16_intro_response_2|Mind your own business. str_npc17_intro_response_2|Very well then. str_npc18_intro_response_2|I'm not protecting a stranger. Be gone. str_npc19_intro_response_2|Well then, good day to you. str_npc20_intro_response_2|Nothing, I'm sorry to bother you. str_npc21_intro_response_2|I imagine praying to the Stranger would be more fitting, seeing as how you insult your betters. str_npc22_intro_response_2|I'm sorry, I won't bother you again. str_npc23_intro_response_2|I'll mind the drunkards. str_npc24_intro_response_2|Nevermind. str_npc25_intro_response_2|Right... str_npc26_intro_response_2|Nothing. str_npc27_intro_response_2|Nevermind then. str_npc28_intro_response_2|Nothing. str_npc29_intro_response_2|Right. I'll not bother you, then. str_npc1_backstory_a|Well, it's a ponderous tale... str_npc2_backstory_a|It's quite the tragic tale. Sit down, sit down! No point standing up. str_npc3_backstory_a|You look like a man of war, do you by any chance need a young squire? str_npc4_backstory_a|Really? Well, perhaps you can be forgiven, being the savage mongrel that you are. Our ancestral lands lie far to the east, in Slaver's Bay. str_npc5_backstory_a|I am Ser Felton Flowers, the former master-of-arms at the Eyrie. str_npc6_backstory_a|I am Martyn Snow, a bastard born in the North. I am also a sellsword, which is ever more important than my birth. str_npc7_backstory_a|You have the honor of speaking to Ser Jasper Rivers, son of Ser Stevron Frey, trueborn son of lord Walder Frey, the Lord of the Crossing. str_npc8_backstory_a|Ah. Well, that sounds rather good. I shall gladly join you. You're paying. str_npc9_backstory_a|My most humble apologies. It is sometimes hard to recognize folk amid the smoke and gloom here. I still cannot believe that I must make my home in such a place. What a horrible fate that has befallen me! str_npc10_backstory_a|Oh well, a shame, I find that the game keeps my mind sharp. Say, do you by any chance need a an officer in your company? I find myself without an opportunity to make use of my considerable lungs, shouting at maggots to fall back in line. str_npc11_backstory_a|Why, I won the archery competition held by lord Hightower last year, and I have been drinking my way across the world ever since! str_npc12_backstory_a|I shall tell you -- but know that it is a tale of gross iniquity. I warn you in advance, lest you are of a choleric temperament, and so become incensed at the injustice done unto me that you do yourself harm. str_npc13_backstory_a|I am the fifth son of my father, Ser Edwyn, and as such, it seems to me being somewhat unlikely that I will ever inherit anything of value. So I have been travelling the world these last eight months, trying to find a noble lord to whom I might swear allegiance. str_npc14_backstory_a|Very well. I do not mind. My name is Drollo. str_npc15_backstory_a|I'm an engineer, trained in the great city of Braavos, and I specialize in fortifications. If you need a wall knocked down, I can do that, given enough time. If you need a wall built back up, I can do that too, although it will take longer and cost you more. And you can't cut costs, either, unless you want your new edifice coming down underneath you, as someone around here has just found out. str_npc16_backstory_a|Well, as long as I can remember I've had a weakness for pretty things, and it's gotten me into trouble, you see. str_npc17_backstory_a|Oh never mind me, I was just in the middle of composing a voluptous poem about the illustrious high steward of Qohor, Logon Votyris, a lowborn leech-catcher who rose to his position during the reign of the tyrant Byan Mentarios. str_npc18_backstory_a|My father, my brother, the village elder... Everyone! They have been searching for me ever since I ran away. I'm telling you, I'm innocent, not every bastard is evil!. str_npc19_backstory_a|Ah, my humble apologies, I quite forgot that not everyone speaks the exalted language of my great home. str_npc20_backstory_a|What every soldier alone does, I'm looking for employment. str_npc21_backstory_a|Oh, I am the greatest of sinners! Descended from a great line of sinners! House Parren was once pious and just, until my dishonorable ancestor travelled to Lys with Aerion Brightflame in his exile. When Aerion died from drinking wildfire, my forefather dipped the servants in the same substance and was responsible for the great fire that destroyed the western quarter of the city. str_npc22_backstory_a|It's those blasted knights... They ruined everything! str_npc23_backstory_a|I could, I could! But I'm sure my mother would be much more informative than me. I've always been more of a fighter than a scholar, just like all the other women of my family. We're too busy fending off men to pick up anything but an axe. str_npc24_backstory_a|People call me Roddy. Or, well, people in King's Landing does. Used to be everyone in King's Landing knew my name. 'There goes Roddy' they'd say, 'bravest man in all of the city watch'. Then that vicious son of a whore, Tywin Lannister, came and sacked the city. Told Aerys he came as a friend, then turned his cloak and betrayed his king. Bah! str_npc25_backstory_a|BLOOD SO RED! SO RED! So sweet, sweet screams, pretty screams, singing screams, scream your song, sing your screams... str_npc26_backstory_a|I am Caul, former chieftain of the Red Sparrows. str_npc27_backstory_a|Hah, I'm just yanking your tail, ain't pondering anything. Bit drunk though. But ah, what can I do for you? People call me Melly Waterman, because, well, it's my name. str_npc28_backstory_a|Who's asking? Did she send you, the whore? Tell her that I'm not interested. Wandering across half the world like some sun-mad camel is what she had me doing! Bah! str_npc29_backstory_a|My luck? You could say that. str_npc1_backstory_b|I competed in the great tournament at Harrenhal, ages ago, in what some call 'The Year of the False Spring'. How the armor of the knights and lords shone that day, with none brighter than the Prince of Dragonstone! Prince Rhaegar was unstoppable, but I also acquitted myself well. However, in my last joust, I accidently killed the nephew of old lord Vance. There is no greater dishonor for a knight, and every lord and lady in the realm saw me that day. str_npc2_backstory_b|I was on my way to Pentos, out of King's Landing, with a cargo of spices and peppers from Dorne. I owned my own trading vessel in those days, a beautiful galleon with a figurehead showing the Maiden. We lay in at Dragonstone for water, when I was accosted by Stannis Baratheons castellan, a Florent if I ever saw one. Those ears! Anyhow, he comes and tells me that my ship is now in the service of the king. It seems Stannis is amasing an army on Dragonstone, and in order to transport it, he needs every single ship he can get his hands on. They emptied my hulls and gave me a slip of paper promising to pay me for my losses once Stannis comes into his kingdom. Much good that'll do me now. str_npc3_backstory_b|I used to squire for Ser Halbert Stone, of Willow Tree, but he died of the bloody flux, and I know no other trade. str_npc4_backstory_b|My family is one of the most prominent of Astapor, or rather was. A dragon has descended on the city and burned the Good Masters! I was on my way to Volantis when I heard about it, and I have been moving ever westwards since. Proud my people might be, but I am no fool. I know my history. Five times, the Ghiscare Empire challenged the Freehold of Valyria, and five times my great ancestors where humbled and, in the end, they where burned. Legions of soldiers are no match for dragons. str_npc5_backstory_b|I was promoted shortly after lord Jon left to take up his position as Hand of the King in King's Landing. With most of his household following him, the Eyrie did, in truth, not need a master of arms. But who was I to question Jon Arryns wisdom. It payed well, it was a position of fair respect for a man bastard born, and I did not want for nothing. str_npc6_backstory_b|I have served for some time with the Second Sons, so I am no stranger to battle. But now I seek to make my fortune, and that does not happen as a mere man-at-arms in a sellsword company. str_npc7_backstory_b|My father has sent me out to gain some experience in the service of a master other than my lord grandfather, that I may increase the honor of our house, or so my brother Ryman told me. str_npc8_backstory_b|I suppose you want my story, eh? I do not intend to tell you anything. str_npc9_backstory_b|I was the firstborn son of my father, a nobleman of Pentos. But my mother died in childbirth, and when I was but ten, my father remarried. His new wife soon mothered many a child, and conspired to have me replaced as my fathers heir. When my younger brother died, she told my father I had pushed him off the balcony! Bah!, the fool probably climbed unto the damned thing himself. str_npc10_backstory_b|I used to command the household guard of Ser Boros Wensington, but he died without an heir and when his holdfast was inherited by his relatives, they appointed a new captain of their guard. I imagine my rugged good looks and, perhaps more so, my dornish heritance might have had something to do with it. I've spent the last year playing cyvasse, waiting for someone worthy to cross my path. str_npc11_backstory_b|I bested Ser Rolland Storm, the Bastard of Nightsong! A genial man, he even congratulated me afterwards! I heard he's recently taken service with lord Stannis, or King Stannis as he calls himself now. Perhaps I ought to seek him out, see if he'd like to have a rematch! str_npc12_backstory_b|I am by training a maester of the Citadel, but condemned by the jealousy of the thick-headed Archmaesters of my brotherhood to make my living as an itinerant barber. I was hired by a merchant of Ashford to cure his son, who fell into a coma after a fall from his balcony. I successfully trepanned the patient's skull to reduce the cranial swelling, but the family ignored my advice to treat the ensuing fevers with a tincture of willow bark, and the boy died. The father, rather than reward me for my efforts, charged me with sorcery -- me, a maester of the Citadel! Such is the ignorance and ingratitude of mankind. str_npc13_backstory_b|It has become a bit of a tradition that the youngest sons in the Osgrey family ride out on the day they receive their knighthood, my family has proven itself to be quite a fertile one, heh! I have uncles and great-uncles, nephews and brothers in abundance. Might be old Walder Frey has fathered a brood that could rival that of a dozen cats, but my father is half his age, and likely to outbreed him! My elder brothers, Ademar and Duncan, are to inherit Standfast and Coldmoat, Duncan holding Coldmoat in Ademars name. And my sister, Rohanna, has been promised to Ser Alyn Ladybright, and thus stands to one day be the Lady of Brightfast! But that leaves little for my fathers remaining children, so we must make our own fortune. str_npc14_backstory_b|I am the second son of the Khal Ogo, of whom you have no doubt heard. I came to Volantis to train men in the art of battle. I told one of the triarchs it was wiser to flog their slave soldiers now, then bury them later, than sending them against an enemy. But he would not listen, and I was told to take my services elsewhere. str_npc15_backstory_b|One of the merchants wanted a new tower added his house. Trouble is, he ran out of cash halfway through the process, before I could complete the supports. I told him that it would collapse, and it did. Unfortunately he was standing on it, at the time. His son didn't feel like honouring his fathers debts and implied that I might find myself charged with murder if I push the point. str_npc16_backstory_b|I grew up in Whitewalls, a ward of the castellan, working alongside the other boys as a squire. On my sevententh nameday, at a tournament no less, I received my knighthood at the hands of lord Mallister himself. That was also the day that I first saw lady Alera, and I am fairly sure that she also saw me. At least I suppose she did, for that night, I found her naked as the day she was born, in my bed. str_npc17_backstory_b|But never mind that, I'm sure you will hear it all across the world once I'm done! I'm quite sure you've heard of me, but in case my fame does not preceed me, allow me to tell you the story of my life. I was born the first and only son of the High Priest of Lys, Horonno Lynaqo, but the courts of the free cities never interested me, with their power play and cruel gossip. So when my father died, I decided to become a wandering minstrel, rather than following in his foot steps. str_npc18_backstory_b|My arrow was caught by the wind, I had no intention of shooting my brothers wife in the neck! But they won't listen, and it won't be the Wall for me, I'll be hanged and quartered! str_npc19_backstory_b|I am Saathos, of Qarth, the greatest city that ever was or ever will be. Saathos the Wise after gazing upon Qarth for the first time, because he knew that all he saw thereafter should look squalid and ugly by comparison, tore out his eyes. Why my noble father named me after a madman, I shall never know. Ah, but I digress. Saathos of Qarth I am, a great traveller, explorer and scholar. str_npc20_backstory_b|I've served as a palace guard for the Archon of Tyrosh, and lately I have fought in the Disputed Lands, as a member of the Brave Companions. str_npc21_backstory_b|When he returned to our ancestral castle, he burned the local septon as an offering to a vile new god, and tortured anyone who refused to convert to his new faith. As a result, my family was outlawed, and we have been wandering the world ever since. str_npc22_backstory_b|The aristocracy ain't nothing but common thieves and bandits, that's what they are. How foolish I was putting my trust in them with the hope that they would protect me and my family from any foe. No, I learned the hard way, they are the ones to be feared. And to think we are highborn! Of greater birth than any of those beasts! They where supposed to protect us on our travel through the Vale! Our family lost most its lands after the War of the Usurper, and we've been living little better than peasants since. Until my father got an offer from a rich merchant in Gulltown, offering that his son and my sister be married. Such a match could restore our fortune! str_npc23_backstory_b|My sister Ferro is fighting with some sellsword company, and I've heard she's become a valued advisor to the captain. And maybe she warms his bed, should he get lonely! A bastard is loathed and pitied all over the world, but still! About time Ferro had herself a few babes anyhow, I find it best to start young. Got two babes myself, a daughter and a son. str_npc24_backstory_b|And what happens to the people that stayed loyal to the Targaryens? Well, we're out of a job, with our lives taken over by thieves and murderers. Bah! str_npc25_backstory_b|CARVING IT, CARVING IT, CARVING IT. Unseeing, unthinking, moving through the city as aimlessly as a worm burrows through the earth. CARVE, CARVE, CARVE! str_npc26_backstory_b|My tale is my own. str_npc27_backstory_b|I'm a member of house Waterman, we're from the North. My brother is sworn to lord Bolton, but daughters ah... they're not supposed to run around in mail and fighting with swords. White Harbor is where most highborn ladies end up, if they don't marry. Special sort of woman who doesn't marry, and they're quite content in White Harbor. All those septas, eh? str_npc28_backstory_b|All her tall tales, and for what? Nothing! My father, my sister, my brother, all gone. And now she sends another one to persuade me. Well, you can tell Tamora that she can go fuck herself. I don't care what it is this time. Gold, silver, the bejewelled member of the Father Above, I say no, no, no! str_npc29_backstory_b|It was my bad luck to be born to a weak father who sold me off to a drunken layabout who beat me. It was my bad luck, when I ran away from my owner, to be taken by a group of dothraki. It was my bad luck that the only one among them who was kind to me, who taught me to hunt and to fight, inspired the jealousy of the others, who knifed him and forced me to run away again. str_npc1_backstory_c|I was young and out of my wits, and foolishly swore to never enter the lists of another tournament, as a penance. So I was forced to serve as a sworn knight and merchants guard, and that does not offer opportunity for glory, nor wealth. str_npc2_backstory_c|I've been trying to get home, but the roads are filled with outlaws, and so, here I am, no money, no ship, no crew, a piece of paper and no way to go. str_npc3_backstory_c|I can tend to your horse, keep the rust off your armor and cook your dinner. And I have a thunderous voice, to announce your entrance in tournaments! str_npc4_backstory_c|I have no intentions of returning to Slaver's Bay anytime soon, and my coin has not lasted as long as I'd hoped it would. Perhaps I will one day start training soldiers in this part of the world. My father was one of the Good Masters, and his father before him. I can turn soldiers into Unsullied! Or as close as possible, without cutting off their cock and balls, hah! str_npc5_backstory_c|Things continued much as they had once lady Lysa returned, though I confess I would have liked to beat that son of hers. A weak coward if I ever saw one, which is not what lord Jon deserved. Anyway, recently a singer joined the household, a petty and sallow creature called Marillion. Sadly, however, the lady Lysa is very fond of him. When he tried to rape my maiden daughter, I beat him bloody with my own fists. And for that lady Lysa banished me! Not the singer, me! I had no choice but to send my family to live with my lord father in the Reach, and hit the road in search of work. str_npc6_backstory_c|I am an able fighter, though nothing out of the extraordinary, but I do find myself better than most men with a bow and arrow. I am also a seasoned scout, having ridden with the outriders of the Stormcrows for some time. str_npc7_backstory_c|I have served as a sworn sword to lord Royce Coldwater, of Coldwater, and lord Damon Marbrand, the Lord of Ashemark. I served under his son Ser Addam Marbrand in the field, though we did not see much action. I have distinguised myself in tournaments, but since the outbreak of war, my loyalties have been called into question, my father being a trueborn son of lord Walder, and I was honorably discharged. So, as you can see, I am no mere hedge knight. str_npc8_backstory_c|... str_npc9_backstory_c|But my father did not care, and had me banished from his household. I imagine he'd thought I'd leave meekly, hah! I killed my father that day, thrusting my dagger through his windpipe! Then I fleed. The Westerosi claims that no one is as cursed as the kinslayer. I'm inclined to agree. My stepmother has sent men to bring me back to a grizzly fate. str_npc10_backstory_c|Perhaps we should play a game of cyvasse one day. str_npc11_backstory_c|Truth be told, I don't think my winnings will last that much longer, whores are expensive! str_npc12_backstory_c|The reverence for former maesters, accused of sorcery, is, I fear, not all it could be. Oh, how the light of wisdom is often darkened by the ignorance and stupidity of man! str_npc13_backstory_c|I am no Kingslayer, nor Knight of Flowers, but I do find myself somewhat adequate with a lance and sword. str_npc14_backstory_c|I know, I know, I am dothraki, I ought to be out there on the plains, slaying men with one hand and plundering with the other. But that life is not for me. I do enjoy battle, but I also enjoy the pleasures of civilization. str_npc15_backstory_c|More fool me for having taken the contract without an advance though, I suppose. str_npc16_backstory_c|The next day, the servants told her lord father. I suppose I should have known that nothing is secret in a castle. I was promptly expelled, under threat of death if I was ever to return. A harsh punishment, considering the girl was in my bed, willing! str_npc17_backstory_c|And I am having the time of my life! Living under hedges, singing to the small and inconsequental folk, never wanting for anything. str_npc18_backstory_c|I've been running from them for what feels like years! str_npc19_backstory_c|I travel the world collecting rare specimens of everything, that I might increase the splendor of the Queen of Cities with my discoveries. str_npc20_backstory_c|I'm a master of the spear and short sword, and in the Brave Companions I served as a regimental officer, until that madman, Vargo Hoat, took over. There's an unpleasant and vile man if ever I say one. str_npc21_backstory_c|To attone for my ancestors sinful life, I've joined the Faith and have been ordained a septon. The father guides me, and the Mother shows me mercy. The Warrior gives me strength, and the Maiden aids me in keeping my vows. The Smith guides me in my labor, and the Crone grants me wisdom. str_npc22_backstory_c|We hired hedge knights to protect us from the mountain tribes on our way from the Bloody Gate through the mountains, and all seemed well. But one night our protectors got drunk and they raped my sister! My father charged at them with sword in hand, but he was old and was quickly cut down. The false knights fled soon after, leaving me with a defiled sister. Obviously, her worth as a marriage subject was ruined after her rape, and I've been forced to travel as a sellsword to support her. str_npc23_backstory_c|Ahh, I need to get out and fight myself! Been itching to hit something other than a man. str_npc24_backstory_c|It was no way for brave Roddy to live, being an outcast, forced to live like a common sellsword! I'm glad you came along! str_npc25_backstory_c|Who are you, who are these people? Why are my hands always red?! str_npc26_backstory_c|... str_npc27_backstory_c|Used to be house Waterman held sway over much of the Lonely Hills, but that glorious past is, well, in the past. str_npc28_backstory_c|Ever been attacked by a Hrakkar, {playername}? That's how I got this scar! And that's the second smallest scar I have! The smallest scar is the result of a manticore attack! Scars and dead relatives, that's what all my hard work and trekking across the world has gotten me, while she grows richer every day! str_npc29_backstory_c|But I do not count myself unlucky, stranger, no more than any other woman of this world, this fetid backwater, this dungheap made by the gods, populated by apes and jackals. str_npc1_backstory_later|I've been here and about, you know. I'm desperately in need of work, however. str_npc2_backstory_later|I sold my boots and have managed to make a few coins peddling goods from town to town, but it's a hard living. str_npc3_backstory_later|I've been helping out various town watches as of late. It seems like the whole world is at war. str_npc4_backstory_later|So it was not one dragon, but three, who burned Astapor. And they are commanded by the beggar kings sister, Daenerys Targaryen. I find that three dragons are ever more fearsome than just one, so I think I'll be staying in the west. The women here have nicer tits anyway. str_npc5_backstory_later|Hello there, friend. I'm still looking for work. One would think that it was easy to come by with all these wars. str_npc6_backstory_later|I have been wandering the free cities for some time, though I am yet to find employment. str_npc7_backstory_later|Ah, hello my friend, how fare you? I myself have had no luck finding a new lord. You would think that knights would be able to find employment with all the fighting going on, but it seems not. And I am a son of Ser Stevron Frey! No mere beggar knight, a lord should be glad to have my sword! str_npc8_backstory_later|My lord! I once again offer you my services! Truth be told, I'm in quite some trouble, nothing you need to concern yourself with. str_npc9_backstory_later|I've offered my services to a few lords in these parts. But I find as often as not they'll ask me to run messages, or train peasants, or some other job not fit for a nobleman born in Pentos, mightiest of the free cities!. str_npc10_backstory_later|Hello there! I suppose you've yet to learn the rules of cyvasse. A shame. str_npc11_backstory_later|Welcome, friend! Mayhaps you need the champion archer of Oldtown in your party! Truth be told, I've been having a bit of bad luck at the dice table, and I fear that some of my less genial gambling partners might soon be coming for me. str_npc12_backstory_later|I have been here and about, tending to the sick and taking what reward I can. But the people of these parts are ignorant, and have little respect for my craft. They place more faith in their illiterate septon than in me! The few coins I make are barely enough for me to replenish my stock of remedies. I should be grateful for the chance to find other work. str_npc13_backstory_later|Should you choose to take me on as your sworn man, I assure you that I will perform most admirably. Otherwise, I will have to continue searching for a worthy lord. str_npc14_backstory_later|I have gone from court to court, but I have not yet found a lord who is to my liking. And they all consider me a savage! Bah!, I have long ago laid the life of the Dothraki behind me. str_npc15_backstory_later|I've been going from castle to castle, looking to see if walls or towers need repair. But either the lord's away, or he's got other things on his mind, or I run into his creditors on the street, begging for change, and I realize that here's one job not to take. So if you hear of anything, let me know. str_npc16_backstory_later|I fight the odd tournament, now and then, but I would willingly swear an oath of allegiance to you my lord. str_npc17_backstory_later|Hello my friend! Have you by chance heard any of my songs being praised by the lords you've visited? If not, might be I could join you for a while. str_npc18_backstory_later|I seem to have lost my pursuers, but you never know. I rue the day that pox faced bitch decided she wanted to frolic around the woods with the men. str_npc19_backstory_later|Ah, {playername}. I cry to see your face, as my quest for specimens has not yielded even the slightest thing of interest. str_npc20_backstory_later|I've heard rumours of dragons and war in the east, might be I'll try my luck in Slaver's Bay. Unless you need my expertise that is, my lord. str_npc21_backstory_later|The Stranger have a hold of the world, as of late war and death has been sweeping the lands. str_npc22_backstory_later|My sister has recently given birth to a bastard boy, the end result of her unfortunate... accident... in the Vale. The gods truly hate us. str_npc23_backstory_later|Ah, {playername}. Welcome back. Have you changed your mind about me joining you on your journey? str_npc24_backstory_later|Ah, {playername}. Have you changed your mind about guards? str_npc25_backstory_later|{playername}! Get me out of here! CARVE ME OUT OF HERE! str_npc26_backstory_later|{playername}. Still lurking around here? str_npc27_backstory_later|{playername}. Still here? str_npc28_backstory_later|What, {playername}? str_npc29_backstory_later|I have been wandering, looking for work as a tracker, but it has not been easy. Men are mostly ill-bred, lice-ridden, and ignorant, and it is not easy to work with such people. str_npc1_backstory_response_1|You seem a stout enough fellow Ser Bennis, perharps you would like to join my company? str_npc2_backstory_response_1|Well, perhaps I could offer you work. Can you fight? str_npc3_backstory_response_1|Well, as it happens, I do believe you could be of use to me. str_npc4_backstory_response_1|Hmm, I have never heard of the Unsullied before, but perhaps you can enlighten me. I welcome you into my service. str_npc5_backstory_response_1|I could well use a knight in my retinue. str_npc6_backstory_response_1|Well, you seem like an able enough man, mayhaps you'd like to join my company? str_npc7_backstory_response_1|Hmm... I am sure you would not enjoy my mens company, bastard born as they are, but I ask you to consider joining me. str_npc8_backstory_response_1|I could use the services of a maester, but tell me why I should hire you and not an actual maester, fresh out the Citadel? str_npc9_backstory_response_1|Perhaps you would like to join my company for a while? str_npc10_backstory_response_1|If you're looking for work, I could certainly use an able officer. str_npc11_backstory_response_1|Well, might indeed be I could use a champion archer. str_npc12_backstory_response_1|Well, you could travel with us, but you'd have to be able to fight in our battle line. str_npc13_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use an extra sword in my company. str_npc14_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use you in my company. str_npc15_backstory_response_1|Where do you need to go? str_npc16_backstory_response_1|Perhaps you would travel with me for a while, Ser. str_npc17_backstory_response_1|How wonderful for you. Say, would you like to travel with me for a while?. str_npc18_backstory_response_1|That's terrible! If there is anything I could do to help... str_npc19_backstory_response_1|You seem lost, might as well join me. str_npc20_backstory_response_1|I could always use a good soldier. str_npc21_backstory_response_1|Travel with me, I have friends who are in need of saving. str_npc22_backstory_response_1|Join me, and might be you can reverse your fortunes. str_npc23_backstory_response_1|Not at all, my lady. str_npc24_backstory_response_1|I have great need for a guardsman in my retinue! str_npc25_backstory_response_1|Can you hold a sword? str_npc26_backstory_response_1|What would it take to persuade you to serve me? str_npc27_backstory_response_1|Would you like to join me? str_npc28_backstory_response_1|I have no clue who this Tamora is. I'm looking for men to join my retinue. str_npc29_backstory_response_1|Hmm... Are you by any chance looking for work? str_npc1_backstory_response_2|I am afraid I cannot currently take on any more men. Blessings of the Warrior to you, Ser Bennis. str_npc2_backstory_response_2|Hard luck, friend. Good day to you. str_npc3_backstory_response_2|I am sorry lad, but no. str_npc4_backstory_response_2|No, sorry, I haven't heard of one. str_npc5_backstory_response_2|I'm afraid I cannot hire you, Ser Felton. str_npc6_backstory_response_2|I have no need of sellswords. str_npc7_backstory_response_2|Yes, yes, very interesting. I fear I must be on my way, good day to you Ser Jasper. str_npc8_backstory_response_2|I'm not going to shelter a deserter, or whatever you are. Farewell. str_npc9_backstory_response_2|I demand that all my men do whatever I ask them. Good day to you, nobleman. str_npc10_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, but I fear another officer in our midst would not benefit my retinue. str_npc11_backstory_response_2|Very interesting, but I have work to do. str_npc12_backstory_response_2|Sorry. I can't take on any new hands. str_npc13_backstory_response_2|No, sorry. I'm afraid I do not need any more swords by my side. str_npc14_backstory_response_2|I'll let you know if I hear of anything. Good day. str_npc15_backstory_response_2|Sorry. I've got all the men that I can manage right now. str_npc16_backstory_response_2|Sorry. You sound like you might be trouble. str_npc17_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone with a pouch large enough to fill your ambitions. str_npc18_backstory_response_2|Wait, you ran away after killing the wife of your brother? str_npc19_backstory_response_2|You confuse me. str_npc20_backstory_response_2|I'm afraid I have no need of any more men at this point. str_npc21_backstory_response_2|I must beg my leave. str_npc22_backstory_response_2|Good day to you, my lord. str_npc23_backstory_response_2|I'm afraid I could not bring a woman into danger, my lady. str_npc24_backstory_response_2|Not right now. str_npc25_backstory_response_2|Nevermind. str_npc26_backstory_response_2|Right... str_npc27_backstory_response_2|I must beg my leave. str_npc28_backstory_response_2|Right... str_npc29_backstory_response_2|Actually, I'm rather fond of the place. Good day to you. str_npc1_signup|Gladly! Perhaps I'll finally get out of this horrid business of protecting upstart merchants and their fat wives! str_npc2_signup|Well, I must confess that I am not a warrior by trade. str_npc3_signup|You do? I am much obliged to you Ser! str_npc4_signup|Very well! I shall teach you all about the Unsullied, the best soldiers in the world, the legacy of the lockstep legions of Ghis! str_npc5_signup|Well that certainly is most welcome news. str_npc6_signup|I'd be more than willing. str_npc7_signup|I might join you. I need to be assured that you will not force me to chatter with the low born men of your company, I am, after all, a knight, and the son of a Frey. str_npc8_signup|I doubt any maester would join a party of warriors. I don't have the same scrubbles. Furthermore, know that I would be ever indebted to you, ever grateful, ever loyal. str_npc9_signup|That would be most splendid my friend! You do not seem the sort to send me to do tasks not befit my rank. str_npc10_signup|How splendid! I assure you that no soldier will cause you trouble, not while I command them. If they do, they'll hang for it. str_npc11_signup|Great! Perhaps I'll one day command soldiers of my own! str_npc12_signup|As I told you, I am a surgeon, not some silk-robed Archmaester who has never touched a body. I can get my hands dirty. Look at them, they're dirty this very moment! str_npc13_signup|Indeed? You would do well to enlist me, while a fifth son, I am nonetheless a knight of Standfast, and sure to perform most honorably. str_npc14_signup|I would be pleased to ride with you, at least for a little while, for pay and a share of any loot. str_npc15_signup|Qohor, eventually, but I'd welcome the opportunity to get a few coins in my pocket, first, so I don't arrive at the city empty handed. So if you promise me food and a share of the loot, I'd be happy to fight with you for a while. str_npc16_signup|I would certainly do that! str_npc17_signup|That would be wonderful, I've been looking for inspiration for a new grand epic poem, and I might gain some from your exploits!. str_npc18_signup|Really? Do you really want to help me? Thank the Drowned God that I met you, and may He watch over you. str_npc19_signup|Ah, that would be most splendid. I cry to think of the adventures we shall experience together, {playername}. str_npc20_signup|Splendid. I assure you, your enemies will tremble when I travel with you! str_npc21_signup|Very well, the world need to be brought back into the light of the Seven, I'll travel with you and spread the Faith. str_npc22_signup|How magnificent! A chance to restore the honor of House Cargyll! str_npc23_signup|How great! I'll have to go grab my belongings, and then I'll be ready to go! str_npc24_signup|Great! I'll go grab my sword! str_npc25_signup|I'll hold whatever you want me to, as long as you get me out of here! GIVE ME A CLEAVER, TO CARVE, CARVE, CARVE! str_npc26_signup|Double what I've ever been paid. str_npc27_signup|I would, I would! I'm so very tired of hanging around in taverns. str_npc28_signup|Oh... my apologies then. You're the first one in a while who didn't turn out to be one of her slaves in disguise. The woman is mad, I'll tell you that. But you say you're looking for men? str_npc29_signup|I might be. I could certainly use the money. str_npc1_signup_2|I have travelled the world for near forty years, first as a squire and later as an annointed knight, and I doubt any man have had more experience protecting merchants than I. str_npc2_signup_2|But I'm a fast learner. I can ride, and I know a fair bit about trade, prices and such. str_npc3_signup_2|I think you'll find that I'll be a most valuable addition to your ranks. str_npc4_signup_2|Remember, however, that I am of the ancient and honorable House of Paton, and I expect to be treated as such. I don't want to be seen as equal to those filthy soldiers one often finds in these lands. str_npc5_signup_2|I shall not betray you, {my lord/my lady}. I shall, however, say the words of fealty somewhere other than this stinking tavern, if you don't mind. str_npc6_signup_2|Know, however, that I do not intend to follow you into battle if there is no hope of victory. I intend to live a long life. I do not require payment right away, only that you armor and feed me. str_npc7_signup_2|I imagine that the brutes and thieves of your company will even find that my presence might better their behavior, and I am sure that your men will fight with ever more valor being in the presence of an anointed knight. str_npc8_signup_2|I shall serve you untill I die, or, the Gods forbid, you pass beneath the shadow yourself. str_npc9_signup_2|My teacher in Pentos was Lytharo, the Third Sword, so I know well how to handle a sword. Or a dagger, hah! I ask only of you, that you will one day help me reclaim what is rightfully mine, or mayhaps help me attain something to cover my loses. str_npc10_signup_2|Let's celebrate by playing a round of cyvasse, shall we? And perhaps we can order some fine wine! str_npc11_signup_2|I'll meet you outside the tavern whenever you're ready to continue, {my lord/my lady}. str_npc12_signup_2|Should you ever be in need of a keeper of ravens, {my lord/my lady}, rest assured that I would have no trouble filling such a position. Just as I could teach any son you might have the history of the world, the conquests of Aegon, the fall of Valyria, the Blackfyre rebellion, even the War of the Vulture King, my repetoire is endless. I might well be able to act as your confident in matters of economics and trade as well, my training was almost complete when I was expelled from the Citadel. str_npc13_signup_2|Perhaps I'll even one day hold my own castle, following you, {my lord/my lady}! You seem one for great deeds. str_npc14_signup_2|I am a skilled swordsman and archer, and I can also instruct your men in fighting. But I warn you that I do not care to fight for a leader who is lax in discipline with {his/her} men, for in the long run they will not respect a soft hand. Nor will they live very long. str_npc15_signup_2|Siegework is my speciality, although I reckon can handle myself well enough in an open battle, if need be. str_npc16_signup_2|I am a knight, and as such I am better than most with lance and sword. str_npc17_signup_2|Perhaps we will one day sing of this day! str_npc18_signup_2|If I can stay with you, no-one would dare harm me. I'll do my best to be of help around you. str_npc19_signup_2|I can perform even the most advanced surgery, and my worldly knowledge is without match. Together, we shall make discoveries such as none have made before! str_npc20_signup_2|My sturdy spear shall bring us many great victories. str_npc21_signup_2|May the Warrior grant your arm strenght! str_npc22_signup_2|By the Seven, finally my fortune takes a turn for the better. str_npc23_signup_2|By the Gods, I've been itching to swing my axe around some! str_npc24_signup_2|By the Warrior! I'll never have to talk to a merchant again! str_npc25_signup_2|Help me get home, please {playername}! str_npc26_signup_2|I won't do everything you should ask of me, but any man try to kill you, he ends up dead himself. str_npc27_signup_2|Taverns really do get rather dreary after a while, I'll tell you that {playername}. str_npc28_signup_2|As you can plainly see, I'm as manly as can be. Titus Harper is my name, the rightful Lord of Blackstone. Proud name, long and and storied. My castle is in the Reach, but after Robert's Rebellion we where... forced from it. Fate has left me here with no means to survive but my skill with the bow. I'll gladly join your retinue. str_npc29_signup_2|But let your followers know that I do not suffer louts and brutes. Anyone who misbehaves around me will quickly find an arrow in their gullet. str_npc1_signup_response_1|Good. You can be useful to us. str_npc2_signup_response_1|That will do. str_npc3_signup_response_1|Good. Now come along. str_npc4_signup_response_1|Very well. I'll be glad to have you with us, um, my, erh lord ... str_npc5_signup_response_1|Certainly. str_npc6_signup_response_1|That seems fair enough. Get your things together, we'll leave soon. str_npc7_signup_response_1|I welcome you to our company then, Ser Jasper Rivers, son of Ser Stevron Frey, son of lord Walder Frey, the Lord of the Crossing. str_npc8_signup_response_1|Hmm, time will tell whether this was wise. Welcome to my retinue. str_npc9_signup_response_1|I suppose I can help you out, sometime in the future. For now, I'll need you to follow my orders, and not stab me in the throat. str_npc10_signup_response_1|You'll have to teach me how, then. I fear we'll have to postpone the fine vine for another occasion. str_npc11_signup_response_1|Very good, I'll make sure to inform you when we're ready to continue. str_npc12_signup_response_1|Then welcome to our company, erh, maester Brynden. str_npc13_signup_response_1|Good. Make yourself ready, and we'll be on our way. str_npc14_signup_response_1|Good. I'll be happy to hire someone like you. str_npc15_signup_response_1|That works for me. I will be pleased to hire you. str_npc16_signup_response_1|It sounds like you'd be a valuable asset in a battle, welcome to my company. str_npc17_signup_response_1|You can write about all of my famous battles and conquests! str_npc18_signup_response_1|Pack your stuff, boy, it is time you left these lands. str_npc19_signup_response_1|Very good. str_npc20_signup_response_1|Yes, they will, obviously... str_npc21_signup_response_1|Well then, let's be on our way. str_npc22_signup_response_1|That's the spirit! str_npc23_signup_response_1|Right! str_npc24_signup_response_1|Right! str_npc25_signup_response_1|Erh, yeah, let me think about it... str_npc26_signup_response_1|Seems a fair request. str_npc27_signup_response_1|Erh, right. str_npc28_signup_response_1|That's the spirit! str_npc29_signup_response_1|I will hire you. Try not to shoot anyone on your first day. str_npc1_signup_response_2|I'd prefer not having to embarras you, Ser Bennis. str_npc2_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I'm only looking for men with some experience. Good day to you. str_npc3_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, I have no need of you. str_npc4_signup_response_2|I'm not interested in your services. str_npc5_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, I find that I have no use for you. str_npc6_signup_response_2|On second thought, maybe a sellswords company is not what I need right now. str_npc7_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, you sound like you might be trouble. Good day to you, Ser. str_npc8_signup_response_2|This does not seem like a good idea, I have to decline your, hmm, offer. str_npc9_signup_response_2|Bah!, kinslayer, I'll have none of your sort in my company. str_npc10_signup_response_2|On second thought, I doubt you'd be of much use. str_npc11_signup_response_2|Sorry. We've already got as many in our company as we can handle. str_npc12_signup_response_2|Perhaps you should look elsewhere for work. str_npc13_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, a knight overeager for glory is dangerous to have in one's company. str_npc14_signup_response_2|Actually, I have no wish to provoke a mutiny in my ranks. Good day, son of Khal Ogo. str_npc15_signup_response_2|Actually, I need a different kind of expertise. My apologies. str_npc16_signup_response_2|To be honest, I'd prefer someone who was a little less tempted to seduce highborn maidens. str_npc17_signup_response_2|What are you rambling about? I need a decent fighter, not a pretty singer. str_npc18_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, I meant to help you here, not to drag you around the world. I can't do that. str_npc19_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I have no need for a scholar. str_npc20_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I still do not need your services. str_npc21_signup_response_2|... str_npc22_signup_response_2|I'm afraid that it is not possible at this time. str_npc23_signup_response_2|I'm afraid that I've changed my mind, you cannot travel with me. str_npc24_signup_response_2|I'm afraid that I've changed my mind, I do not need a guardsman. str_npc25_signup_response_2|I may not need you right this moment... str_npc26_signup_response_2|I've changed my mind. str_npc27_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I've changed my mind. str_npc28_signup_response_2|I'm afraid I've changed my mind. str_npc29_signup_response_2|Actually, on second thought, you sound like you might be trouble. Good day to you. str_npc1_payment|Quite good. Before we leave however, there is the small matter of my payment. I believe {reg3} silver coins would be a fair amount. str_npc4_payment|Quite excellent. Before we depart, would you be so kind to lend me {reg3} silver coins? I had to pawn a family heirloom at a pawnbroker here in {s20}, and I would like to retrieve it before we leave. str_npc5_payment|Thank you. Now, to seal off our agreement, I ask for {reg3} silver coins from you. Knights might be true to their lord, no matter what, but they'll be ever more true if they can afford to feed themselves. str_npc7_payment|Quite good then. I shall ask you to pay me a small token pay of {reg3} silver coins, just a knightly formality, a silly old tradition, hardly even worth mentioning. str_npc8_payment|Wonderful {my lord/my lady}! Might I ask you for a small fee? You will not find me of much use without remedies and poultices, and I fear those are costly. I shall not need more than {reg3} silver coins. str_npc9_payment|That's very good of you. And before I join, can you lend me {reg3} silver coins, so that I can buy some proper clothing that befits a man of noble birth such as myself. The coat on me has been worn down badly due to my recent bad fortune, and I cannot let common soldiers mistake me as one of their own. str_npc10_payment|I'll teach you! It's really quite simple. There is one little problem though, my liege. I have a woman here in {s20}, a tavern wench, and she says she bears my child in her belly. I want to give her some coin before I leave... for the child, you know. Being a bastard is not easy. Do you think you can spare {reg3} silver coins? str_npc11_payment|Before we continue, {my lord/my lady}, might I ask for my payment in advance? {reg3} silver coins should suffice to keep my poor father feed until I return. I sure hope it'll be a long autumn. str_npc13_payment|Very good {my lord/my lady}. Before we leave, however, there is the small matter of the customary payment. Just a formality, though one that I would have a hard time doing without. I suppose {reg3} silver coins would be fair? str_npc14_payment|Ah, one last thing. I would ask for an initial bounty of {reg3} silver coins before I join your command. It's my principle never to enter someone's service without receiving the payment I deserve. str_npc15_payment|Good. By the way, as a skilled engineer I would expect a payment for my services. A signing bonus of {reg3} silver coins would be fair, I think. I'll deposit it with the representatives of the Iron Bank here in {s20} before we leave, that seems the most prudent strategy. One never knows what might happen on the road. str_npc16_payment|Good {my lord/my lady}. Before we leave, might I trouble you for a small loan? I've left a girl in this very tavern with a somewhat, erm, heavy burden in her belly, and I fear her father might be less inclined to bash my head in, if his hands are filled with coin. str_npc17_payment|Very well my friend! Now before we continue, might be you could loan me some coin, I have some less than amiable fellows whom I owe a small amount for some fine Arbor wine. str_npc20_payment|I pledge my sword to you, {my lord/my lady}. Before we leave, I ask that you pay me the customary {reg3} silver coins for my service. str_npc21_payment|Before I can travel with you, you'll need to grant a small gift to the Faith, {reg3} silver coins should we sufficient. I'll make sure it's sent to the Great Sept in King's Landing. str_npc22_payment|There is only one problem... I must sew a new banner to fly high the sigil of House Cargyll. I imagine {reg3} silver coins would suffice to pay a seamstress. str_npc24_payment|Say, I think my armor needs a proper taking care of. The blacksmith here in this town can do it for me, but it'll cost about {reg3} coins. Any chance you'd be willing to loan me the coin? str_npc26_payment|{reg3} coins it is, then. And a share of any plunder, plus wine. str_npc27_payment|Now, while taverns lose their luster after a while, whores never do, and I owe quite a large sum to the one with the big... ears over there. Could you spare {reg3} coins for me to pay him? I've heard he once hacked of a mans thumb for not paying him, and I rather like mine. Now, I know what you're thinking, {reg3} coins for one whore? But it's just not him, its the wine, the roast swans, the peppered caviar, the other whore, the barrel filled with ale I broke. You get the picture, surely? str_npc28_payment|Quite good. Before we leave however, there is the small matter of my payment. I believe {reg3} silver coins would be a fair amount. str_npc29_payment|All right then. I will come with you. But I want a payment of {reg3} coins first. You aren't expecting me to work for free, do you? str_npc1_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coins. Now, pack your backs, we'll be leaving soon. str_npc4_payment_response|Certainly. Here's {reg3} coins. str_npc5_payment_response|Hah, very true. Here is {reg3} coins. str_npc7_payment_response|Yes, yes, of course, just a formality, a silly old tradition. str_npc8_payment_response|Oh, I am no pauper, Halbert. Here's {reg3} coins for you. str_npc9_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coins. str_npc10_payment_response|Of course. Here, {reg3} coins. str_npc11_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} coins. Make yourself ready. We leave soon. str_npc13_payment_response|Of course, here's {reg3} coins. Get ready to leave soon. str_npc14_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} coins. You are most welcome in our company. str_npc15_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} coins. Glad to have you with us. str_npc16_payment_response|I'm sure he'll be ever grateful to you. Here is {reg3} coins, be ready to leave soon. str_npc17_payment_response|{reg3} coins? You dare! I like that, I'll be happy to oblige you. str_npc19_payment_response|All right, here's a few coins. str_npc20_payment_response|That seems more than fair. Here are the {reg3} coins. str_npc21_payment_response|Very well. str_npc22_payment_response|Of course. Here are {reg3} coins. Hurry, I'll be leaving soon. str_npc24_payment_response|Here are {reg3} coins. Make him hurry, I'll be leaving soon. str_npc26_payment_response|Here are {reg3} coins. You better be worth it. str_npc27_payment_response|Here are {reg3} coins. Go pay the whore. str_npc28_payment_response|Here are {reg3} coins. You better be worth it. str_npc29_payment_response|No, of course not. Here's {reg3} coins. str_npc1_morality_speech|{My lord/My lady}. Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's a hard life and it's a bit much that we {s21}. Take a little more care in the future, if you don't mind my saying. str_npc2_morality_speech|I hope you don't mind my saying so, but it's a bit hard for me to see us {s21}. Maybe I ought to try to be more of a hardened soldier, but if we could try to exercise a little mercy from time to time, I'd sleep better. str_npc3_morality_speech|Perhaps it is not my place to say so, {my lord/my lady}, but I confess that I am somewhat shocked that we {s21}. Of course I realize that war is cruel, but there is no need to make it more cruel than necessary. str_npc4_morality_speech|Your pardon -- just so you know, the men of the House of Paton do not care to {s21}. I will not be pleased if you continue to take this course, it's beneath me! str_npc5_morality_speech|Pardon me, {my lord/my lady}. It is not good to {s21}. Your first duty is to the men who have decided to follow you. The least they can expect is food, pay, the opportunity to loot, and that you not waste their lives needlessly. str_npc6_morality_speech|Excuse me, {my lord/my lady}. I did not expect to {s21}. str_npc7_morality_speech|My liege -- I do not like to see us {s21}. Such are the actions of a common outlaw, with no regard for his honor. str_npc8_morality_speech|I was not pleased that you decided to {s21}. To fall in battle is an honour, but to fight in a warband led by a coward is a disgrace. str_npc9_morality_speech|Your grace -- it is not my way to {s21}. Men of my house will accept death but not dishonour. Please do not make me ashamed to serve under you. str_npc10_morality_speech|Begging your pardon, I can't say that I'm happy to see us {s21}. Those are just simple people, trying to make a living. If we could try to go easy on the poor wretches, my liege, I'd feel much better. str_npc11_morality_speech|Excuse me, {playername}. It's not good that we {s21}. I've followed an army once, and the least the soldiers expect of a leader is to feed them, pay them, and do {his/her} best to keep their sorry skins intact as best {he/she} can. str_npc12_morality_speech|{My lord/My lady} -- I do not like to see us {s21}. I am prepared to be a warrior, but not an outlaw. Pray let us try to show a little more compassion. str_npc13_morality_speech|Your grace, if we can avoid it, I'd prefer not to {s21}. Word gets around, and one's reputation is precious. I would not care for one of my rivals to have a singer include this latest unfortunate incident in a satirical verse. str_npc14_morality_speech|I do not care to {s21}. No one with a reputation for cowardice will be properly feared by his men. str_npc15_morality_speech|Just so you know my opinion, any commander with sense will not let his company {s21}.I hope you don't mind me speaking so bluntly. str_npc16_morality_speech|I don't like to {s21}. So many throats left uncut, and so many maidens left untouched. str_npc17_morality_speech|What kind of commander are you? Look at the men, and all the bodies on the field. Remember these {s21}, for they will haunt you in the end. str_npc18_morality_speech|Why did you {s21}? When I thought you'd protect me, I didn't expect you to act as my village elder would! str_npc19_morality_speech|.... str_npc20_morality_speech|Why, why did you {s21}? Is it because they were heathens? In which case conversion would be better or are you evil in disguise? str_npc21_morality_speech|I might have fallen from grace, but that doesn't make me dishonerable. Don't disgrace yourself by {s21}, my friend. str_npc22_morality_speech|Are you out of your mind? I thought I could trust you, but by {s21} you only showed that you're one of them nobles. Don't you dare let that happen again! str_npc23_morality_speech|My friend. It's a hard life for most of the folks in these lands, and it's a bit much that we {s21}. Take a little more care in the future. str_npc24_morality_speech|Are you out of your mind? I thought you where a honorable man, but by {s21} you only showed that you're no better than any other lord. Don't you dare let that happen again! str_npc29_morality_speech|My liege, I do not like to see us {s21}. Such are the actions of a common outlaw, with no regard for his followers. str_npc1_2ary_morality_speech|My liege -- just so you know, I've got no problem if we {s21}. Living to fight another day makes good sense to me. str_npc2_2ary_morality_speech|I'm not altogether happy that we {s21}. I'm a merchant, and in our business one is bonded by one's word. I don't want a reputation for dishonesty -- that would spell my end as a trader, {playername}!. str_npc3_2ary_morality_speech|I think it was a brave decision you took to {s21}. There is no shame in finding a way to avoid the spilling of blood. The less blood you spill, the more tournaments you can fight in. str_npc4_2ary_morality_speech|Your pardon -- whatever anyone else says, I think nothing of it that you {s21}. You should adopt whatever ruse you need to survive in these filthy, savage, lands. str_npc9_2ary_morality_speech|I am dismayed that you {s21}. A noble such as yourself should exhibit the highest standards of honour at all times. str_npc10_2ary_morality_speech|My liege -- I can't say I like to see us {s21}. You should treat your men well, and they'll repay with interest. str_npc14_2ary_morality_speech|You should not let it bother you that you {s21}. Armies are made to do their leaders' bidding, and hardships are part of a soldier's life. str_npc15_2ary_morality_speech|You know, {playername}, it's none too reassuring to see how you just {s21}. If you can break your word to them, you can break your word to me, is how I figure it. str_npc16_2ary_morality_speech|{My lord/My lady} -- just so you know, it's no problem by me that we {s21}. We do what we need to do to live, and they'd do the same to us if they were in our shoes. str_npc17_2ary_morality_speech|Are you out of your mind? The men need to see your bravery, not your cowardice. Go {s21} in your own time and show your men next time what a real {man/woman} is made of. str_npc18_2ary_morality_speech|How could you? By {s21} you're acting like my traiterous father. How can I ever trust you not to return me to him? str_npc19_2ary_morality_speech|... str_npc20_2ary_morality_speech|Maybe {s21} is your way to show your faith in the Heavens, but it is definately not mine. Please be carefull, for this behaviour only leads to evil. str_npc21_2ary_morality_speech|My friend, are we trying to travel the world or to cleanse it? By {s21} you really made me wonder if it was the right decision to be at your side. str_npc22_2ary_morality_speech|I'm a man of my word, swearing that those nobles would pay for their deeds. I thought you were a similar {man/woman}, but by {s21} you showed me otherwise. How disappointing. str_npc23_2ary_morality_speech|My friend, are we trying to travel the world or to ruin it? str_npc1_personalityclash_speech|{My lord/My lady}, no offense, but I'm a bit tired of Maron, who puts on airs like he's something better than me, an anointed knight! Why, he's just a merchant, and a poor one at that! str_npc2_personalityclash_speech|As you recall I was a merchant before I signed on with you. I respect men who make their living peacefully, risking all to bring goods for far away lands. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech|{My lord/My lady}, in my opinion, Drollo is a hard and savage beast. He speaks of nothing but the need to rape and pillage enemy villages! str_npc4_personalityclash_speech|Friend. The House of Paton is one of the most ancient and respected families in this part of the world, with a provenance dating back to the Old Ghiscari Empire. Yet Arratos openly shows me disrespect, and casts doubt on the provenance of my house, as if he wasn't the descendant of a whore and an escaped slave himself! str_npc5_personalityclash_speech|A moment of your time, {my lord/my lady}. Brynden seems to think me a common bandit, just because I have rewarded myself in the past to the legitimate spoils of war from travellers passing through {my lord/my lady} fathers lands. Bah! People have always paid for access with our ferry, and those who did not where no better than common outlaws. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech|None. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, I have done my best to put up with your followers' rude talk and filthy habits. But that one who calls himself Martyn Snow is beyond tolerance. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech|Just so you know, I cannot abide that insolent boy, Serol. Some minutes ago, he was remarking to our companions how the peasants of this region were more than usually slack-jawed and beetle-browed, and speculated that perhaps they had bred with aurochs. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, Drollo is a base braggart, a man with no respect for the honour of women. I am tired of hearing how he conquered this or that damsel. Forced her is more like it. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, my liege. I hate to trouble you with such things, but I just wanted to let you know that I can't abide that fellow Garrett. Like all reachmen, he's a vile man, prone to all sorts of perversions. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech|Begging your pardon, but I can't keep silent. That man, Mavros... he's intolerable!. str_npc12_personalityclash_speech|{My lord/My lady}. Mavros, complained of headaches, a possible symptom of excess of sanguinity, though in his case, I imagine it's a headache brought on by an uncontrolled lust for fine wine. I thought to apply my leeches. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech|{My lord/My lady}, I weary of Gyrnir, who speaks nothing but bleak thoughts and is a constant dampener on every conversation. str_npc14_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, {playername}. A few minutes ago, I had expressed the opinion that liberal use of the lash and occasional use of the gallows is essential to keep soldiers in line. Men without a healthy fear of their commanders are more likely to run from battle. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me. I hope you don't mind me telling you that in my opinion, that man Jasper is a danger to the party. He's an arrogant man, disrespectful of authority and the basic principles of the military art. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech|{My lord/My lady}. Just so you know, there's something funny about that fellow. He makes strange scrawlings in the dirt, and makes these awful guttural sounds. str_npc17_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, have you seen Martyn? That bastard just stole one of my pouches, filled with locks of hair from all the women I have bedded. I was talking to your men, trying to teach them to be real warriors, when one of them pointed out that he saw him digging in one of my fourty-two money pouches. I immediately ran towards him, but he slipped away. str_npc18_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, are you the only one in this group I can really trust? I thought Saathos could be a friend, but all he does is laugh at my past. str_npc19_personalityclash_speech|... str_npc20_personalityclash_speech|Could I have a word with you about {s11}? I believe that she has been misguided, and led astray to wrong beliefs. str_npc21_personalityclash_speech|My friend, have I ever let you down? I'm just asking, for that traiterous Gyrnir seems to think I will betray you on a whim. How insulting! Has he never heard of the septon's word? str_npc22_personalityclash_speech|My liege, did you hear what Bennis just said? About the soldiers needing to fear the commander? It is the aristocracy all over again. str_npc23_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, did you hear what Bennis just said? About the soldiers needing to fear the commander? The man is a fool, and he'll be the ruin of all of us. Soldiers should admire and respect their commander, not fear him. str_npc24_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, that Fenna woman is a filthy harlot if ever I saw one. Worships trees and probably has a womans weak will! Why, you don't need her, not when you got brave Roddy in your guard! There once was a song about me! 'Brave and bold Roddy, rode forth from Chelsted! He was not afraid to die, oh brave Roddy! He was not at all afraid, to be killed in nasty ways! Brave, brave, brave, brave Roddy'! str_npc25_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, that northern women is a filthy harlot if ever I saw one. Worships trees and probably has a womans weak will! Why, you don't need her, not when you got brave Roddy in your guard! There once was a song about me! 'Brave and bold Roddy, rode forth from Chelsted! He was not afraid to die, oh brave Roddy! He was not at all afraid, to be killed in nasty ways! Brave, brave, brave, brave Roddy'! str_npc26_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, that northern women is a filthy harlot if ever I saw one. Worships trees and probably has a womans weak will! Why, you don't need her, not when you got brave Roddy in your guard! There once was a song about me! 'Brave and bold Roddy, rode forth from Chelsted! He was not afraid to die, oh brave Roddy! He was not at all afraid, to be killed in nasty ways! Brave, brave, brave, brave Roddy'! str_npc27_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, that northern women is a filthy harlot if ever I saw one. Worships trees and probably has a womans weak will! Why, you don't need her, not when you got brave Roddy in your guard! There once was a song about me! 'Brave and bold Roddy, rode forth from Chelsted! He was not afraid to die, oh brave Roddy! He was not at all afraid, to be killed in nasty ways! Brave, brave, brave, brave Roddy'! str_npc28_personalityclash_speech|{playername}, that northern women is a filthy harlot if ever I saw one. Worships trees and probably has a womans weak will! Why, you don't need her, not when you got brave Roddy in your guard! There once was a song about me! 'Brave and bold Roddy, rode forth from Chelsted! He was not afraid to die, oh brave Roddy! He was not at all afraid, to be killed in nasty ways! Brave, brave, brave, brave Roddy'! str_npc29_personalityclash_speech|My liege, I have done my best to put up with your followers' rude talk and filthy habits. But that one who calls himself {s11} is beyond tolerance. str_npc1_personalityclash_speech_b|He is of common birth, and as such has no right to tell me what to do. str_npc2_personalityclash_speech_b|I don't much care to hear {s11} gloat about the caravans he has looted, or he plans to loot, like he has no respect for good honest trade. str_npc3_personalityclash_speech_b|I know that an army is not a sept, and that strong discipline is important, but I do believe that man enjoys cruelty for cruelty's sake. I hope you do not mind me saying so. str_npc4_personalityclash_speech_b|These are indeed sorry days if filthy slaves are allowed to mock their betters. That is all. str_npc5_personalityclash_speech_b|I told him, that if the Warrior's way bothers him so much, then he ought become a septon or a beggar and so not have to worry about such things. I hope you do not mind that I said such things. str_npc6_personalityclash_speech_b|None. str_npc7_personalityclash_speech_b|I do not care for how he stares at me around the campfire after a meal, as he picks his teeth. I believe I recognize him from my days as a squire. He is base and ignorant. I do not care to travel with such people. str_npc8_personalityclash_speech_b|Serol, that font of impudence, overheard me arguing that maybe he was half aurochs himself, and called me ignorant, and a savage, and other words I do not care to repeat. It was only out of respect for you that I refrained from cutting his throat then and there. I thought it only fit that I should warn you. str_npc9_personalityclash_speech_b|If he persists, I shall tell him that he is a base varlot, and if it comes to blows I will not apologize. That is all. str_npc10_personalityclash_speech_b|He's just a simple brigand, as far as I can tell. Winner of an archery contest, my arse. Reachmen are bad enough, but those who pretend to be honest are bloody intolerable. Anyway, I might have said something a bit sharp to him a minute ago. He seemed to take offense, anyway. I just thought you should know. str_npc11_personalityclash_speech_b|Just because he's used to the savage lifestyle of those dirty dornishmen, he thinks that everyone ought to get their hands dirty. I tell you, like all dornishmen, he is a base and perverted man! str_npc12_personalityclash_speech_b|But when I tried to afix them, he recoiled and struck me, and accused me of witchcraft. Pff. {playername}, I am deeply tired of attending to the complaints of such an ungrateful and ignorant lot. str_npc13_personalityclash_speech_b|I tire mightily of him, and the next time he begins droning on about how dreadful our existence is, I fear I might upend a barrel of ale over his head! str_npc14_personalityclash_speech_b|That chit Kanosos saw fit to admonish me for this. I will not have my methods questioned in front of the men, and I will not serve any commander who tolerates such insubordination in his company. Thank you for allowing me to speak my peace. str_npc15_personalityclash_speech_b|What's more, I suspect he's a thief. I found him going through my baggage and pawing some of my schematics, and he pulled a knife on me when I thought fit to object. A wise lord would not allow him in his company. str_npc16_personalityclash_speech_b|Fearing witchcraft, I asked him about it, and he just stared at me. Those eyes! So I had a look in his baggage, and found strange plans and diagrams. I think he's a warlock, {my lord/my lady}, and if I catch him trying to hex me he'll have a knife in his throat. str_npc17_personalityclash_speech_b|How can anyone make a decent living in this party when that thief is around? If I can get my hands on him, he won't do it again, I can assure you that much. str_npc18_personalityclash_speech_b|After trying to get closer for weeks, I finally dared to open up to him, and all he could do was laugh at me. That horrible rasping laugh! I tell you, when I looked into his eyes, I saw evil! str_npc19_personalityclash_speech_b|... str_npc20_personalityclash_speech_b|I recently talked to her, and discovered the differences in our ways, upon which I took the opportunity to correct her errors. The insults she hurled at me! I dare not to repeat them. Later I discovered that she had gone through my baggage and ruined one of my holy scrolls! If she stays any longer wih us, I fear I might resort to my old ways and kill her on sight. Please, don't let that happen. str_npc21_personalityclash_speech_b|He quotes dead men to prove his point, but who cares what has been written a thousand years ago while we are alive today? I hope you'll use your common sense and leave Gyrnir behind at the first opportunity possible. str_npc22_personalityclash_speech_b|When I spoke my mind to him, he wanted to lash out on me! I will not ride out with people who act just like the knights who raped my sister. If you don't do something about it, I will find another company to help me with my revenge. str_npc23_personalityclash_speech_b|When I spoke my mind to him, he called me a bitch! I have a mind to geld the man, but as you command this band of warriors, I defer to you. str_npc24_personalityclash_speech_b|'He was not in the least bit scared, to be mashed into a pulp! Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken! To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, oh brave Roddy!' str_npc25_personalityclash_speech_b|'He was not in the least bit scared, to be mashed into a pulp! Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken! To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, oh brave Roddy!' str_npc26_personalityclash_speech_b|'He was not in the least bit scared, to be mashed into a pulp! Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken! To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, oh brave Roddy!' str_npc27_personalityclash_speech_b|'He was not in the least bit scared, to be mashed into a pulp! Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken!

Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken! To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, oh brave Roddy!' str_npc29_personalityclash_speech_b|I do not care for how he stares at me around the campfire after a meal, as he picks his teeth. I believe I recognize him from my days in the pleasure house. He is base and ignorant. I do not care to travel with such people. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech|{My lord/My lady}, I don't fancy myself a sensitive soul, but I don't particularly like how {s11} went about searching the garments of the enemy wounded, back there. It's not proper! str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech|If you don't mind, I'd prefer not to be deployed anywhere near Bennis, after what he said to me during that last battle. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech|{My lord/My lady}. Since I have joined your company, I have tried hard to learn how to live like a soldier, and how to honour the the warrior. If I occasionally make mistakes, I would hope to be forgiven. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech|I happened to exchange a few words with Arratos as we were dividing up the spoils of battle. Please inform him that when he speaks to me, he should call me 'My lord' or perhaps 'Your Grace,' or 'Your Magnificence,' but certainly not just 'Graznon.' I am of the blood of Old Ghiscar and Astapor! str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech|Brynden needs to have his tongue cut out. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech|None. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech|{playername} -- I have been searching my mind trying to remember where I have seen Martyn, the one who calls himself a descendant of the Dustins of Barrowton. As I watched him in action during that last battle, I suddenly remembered. He is a good fighter, but also a vicious one. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech|{s11} is a most insolent man. I have tried to be polite, even friendly, only to have him rebuff me. str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech|I hope you do not mind me telling you this, but in my opinion {s11}, the merchant, does not know his place. During that last battle, he cut in front of me to engage a foe whom I had marked for my own. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech|{My lord/My lady}, a question for you. Are you in charge of this company, or is it {s11}? str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech|I don't much care for that {s11}. After that last battle, he went around muttering some heathen incantation, as he went through the slain looking for loot. str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech|My liege. I can no longer abide the rank ignorance of {s11}. As I was treating the wounded during our last battle, he saw fit to disparage my use of milk of the poppy in relieving the pain while I conducted surgery, and of treating wounds with a poultice of honey. str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech|Hello, Your Grace! {s11} is a temperamental one, isn't he? During that last battle, I was merely having a friendly chat with our foes about their mothers as we exchanged swordblows, and it caused him to throw a fit! str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech|{s11} is incorrigibly indisciplined. During that skirmish, I called out to him that he should hold ranks with the rest of our battle array. He called back to me that I should 'get stuffed.' str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech|{My lord/My lady} -- I must tell you that I question {s11}'s medical credentials. As he was tending to our wounded after that last battle, I saw fit to remind him that the peerless Gerardys often advocated administering a distillation of beetroot, to restore the humor imbalance brought by loss of sanguinity. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech|Beg your pardon. {s11} might be a good man, but he's not got the stomach to be a warrior, if you ask me. str_npc17_personalityclash2_speech|{playername}, I wonder why you still have {s11} around. I watched him during the battle, and noticed that he stayed behind the entire time. Of course a commander needs to have some overview, but he's not a lord out here just a regular in your service. str_npc18_personalityclash2_speech|My dear {sir/madame}, I'm afraid I cannot tolerate the presence of {s11} any longer. During the last battle I was standing behind him and recognized his sword swing. str_npc19_personalityclash2_speech|... str_npc20_personalityclash2_speech|{Sir/My lady}, I'm afraid that {s11} might have fallen for the heathen ways, and might even be possessed by an evil spirit. str_npc21_personalityclash2_speech|There you are, my friend. You won't believe what just happened during our last battle! I was fighting alongside {s11}, where he showed me his murderous nature. str_npc22_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc23_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc24_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc25_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc26_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc27_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc28_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, I must say you should teach {s11} some manners. If it wasn't for my self control, I would have flown to her throat a long time ago. str_npc29_personalityclash2_speech|My liege, I have been searching my mind trying to remember where I have seen {s11}, the one who calls himself a noble. As I watched him in action during that last battle, I suddenly remembered. He is a good fighter, but also a vicious one. str_npc1_personalityclash2_speech_b|The way he whistles cheerfully as he does it -- it puts a chill down my spine. It is not noble work. str_npc2_personalityclash2_speech_b|The enemy was bearing down on us, and he says, 'Step aside, merchant, this is warriors work.' Next time I will step aside, and let him take a spear in the gut. str_npc3_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last victory I was picking through the slain, and availed myself of one of our foe's purses. No sooner had I done so then {s11} came up behind me and struck it from my hands, saying that it was he who had made the kill, and thus he deserved the spoils. {My lord/My lady}, I could not tell in the heat of battle who had struck whom. If {s11} had simply told me that he deserved the purse, I would gladly have given it to him. str_npc4_personalityclash2_speech_b|I am of noble blood, and he is of the basest birth. He must remember his place. The House of Paton does not forget insults. The Harpy does not forget insults. str_npc5_personalityclash2_speech_b|When the loot was piled up after the last battle, I found among the enemy's baggage a very decent cooking pot. Often I had wished to find such a pot, so I could boil some of the stews that my fathers household used to warm their bellies during the winter. But Brynden grabs the pot, and tells me that I will not be allowed to 'taint' it with reachman food, and that it should properly belong to him. I yielded the pot to him, but I will not tolerate such disrespect in the future. str_npc6_personalityclash2_speech_b|None. str_npc7_personalityclash2_speech_b|Back when I lived in my lord grandfathers castle, I saw many a thief hanged. This man looks like those thieves. str_npc8_personalityclash2_speech_b|As we were cleaning our weapons, he almost hacked off my head when he stumbled! str_npc9_personalityclash2_speech_b|I appreciate that he is willing to risk his life in battle, but that alone does not make a nobleman. He is not of noble birth, and his family's wealth comes from commerce and usury. He may fight with us as an auxiliary, but should not attempt to steal glory from his betters. str_npc10_personalityclash2_speech_b|In that last battle he was shouting at me 'Go forward, go back, hold the line.' When I told him to mind his own trimming he said he'd have me flogged. {My lord/My lady}, that man is looking for a crossbow bolt in his groin, begging your pardon. str_npc11_personalityclash2_speech_b|He said it was a prayer of thanksgiving for victory, but it didn't sound like that to me. Captain, I don't want him raising up the Others to make trouble for us on our travels. I think you had best be rid of him str_npc12_personalityclash2_speech_b|{My lord/My lady}, if that man knew the slightest thing about medical matters, he would know that one should never undermine a patient's confidence in his maester, particularly not during a complicated operation. If you would be kind enough to dismiss him from this company, you would be doing all of us a great service. str_npc13_personalityclash2_speech_b|When all the dust settled, {s11} turned on me and told me not to 'tempt the wrath of the Heavens' with my 'hubris.' str_npc14_personalityclash2_speech_b|Such defiance of proper authority is a corrosive influence on our company, and I shall have him flogged if he does so again. str_npc15_personalityclash2_speech_b|{s11} responded that Gerardys was an 'antiquated know-nothing, only good as a dragon morsel.' My liege, no true maester would have such disrespect for the great maesters of the past. I do not believe you should employ such an obvious impostor. str_npc16_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last scrap, I was slicing open the guts of some our foes to check for hidden gold, as one might do after a battle. He gagged and muttered that I was an 'animal.' I'll inspect his innards for contraband if he doesn't keep a civil tongue in his head. str_npc17_personalityclash2_speech_b|His attitude begins to irritate me. He might be of noble birth, but he has done nothing to earn his titles. Staying out of a fight to keep his armor shiny, complaining when his weapons get dirty this arrogant prick is trouble all along. str_npc18_personalityclash2_speech_b|He has been to my village years ago, where he helped the village elder to obtain even more women to kill. I told him I recognized him, so he struck me down to silence me. No-one noticed in the heat of battle. Please, my dear {sir/madame}, don't let that monster anywhere near me again. str_npc19_personalityclash2_speech_b|... str_npc20_personalityclash2_speech_b|After our last victory -- the Heavens be praised -- I spotted her going through the dead bodies of our fallen foes, without paying the proper respect they deserve. When I tried to correct her, she just looked sheepishly at me, only to burst out in curses afterwards. You wouldn't believe the things she said to me! She's bad luck, I say you, and will bring misfortune over our company. It'd be best to leave her at the next heathen village. str_npc21_personalityclash2_speech_b|I had pinned down an opponent, who begged me for mercy. It was that moment I recognised him as one of the former servants from my father's palace. Tears ran down our cheeks upon this spark of recognition, and I gave him my word to let him live if he fled the battlefield. After this was said, that monster of a {s11} stepped in and slit his throat without a warning! I'm afraid to sleep anywhere near him, my friend. It'd be best to let him go. str_npc22_personalityclash2_speech_b|After the last battle she insulted me beyond any words, saying that I'd better be one of her servants, else I would be as good as dead.

I can't guarantee that I'll have as much self control next time. str_npc29_personalityclash2_speech_b|Back when I lived in Volantis, I would sometimes watch fights in the arena. My liege, I would not trust any man who hides his origins, and particularly would not trust a common sellsword who calls himself a noble. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech|My liege. Ser Jasper back there didn't do badly in that last fight at all. He's a good man, too. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech|Your grace. I just wanted to tell you that Saathos may be a rough sort, and possibly quite mad, and I'll venture he's a thoroughgoing rogue as well, but I'm proud to call him my companion. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech|Hello, {my lord/my lady}! I had just wanted to tell you that Berengar is a most gallant man. Did you see him in our last battle? str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech|Excuse me, my liege. I just wanted to say a word in praise of Bilaquo. He did well in that last battle, though not as well as me. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech|That was a fine battle, {playername}! Jasper is a good man to have by our side in a fight! str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech|{My lord/My lady}! Sometimes I am troubled by all this bloodshed, although I know that proud lords must be humbled, and cruel men tamed, if we are to restore peace to the realm. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech|I was just talking to Ser Bennis. He may be a bit rough, but I believe that he is a faithful friend. str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech|A fine battle that was, my liege. And I have to say, I admire the taunts that Martyn hurled at our enemy. They where quite witty. str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}. Bilaquo acquitted himself well in that fight back there. A fine, modest man he is, if I dare say so myself. str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech|Ahoy, {playername}! I wish you joy of your victory! Say, Maron is not bad in a scrap, is he, for a man of his trade? Although I'm getting to be a bit of an old dog myself for this, he might yet learn a proper way of life. str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech|Ach, {my lord/my lady}! A fight like that one bloodies my draw finger! Still, we bloodied them well and good, didn't we? str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech|A bloody business, a bloody business -- although a necessary one, of course. Maron, I believe, shares my ambivalence about this constant fighting. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech|You have earned your name today, oh valorous one! And Clavis, too! I like that one. He sings of valor when he charges into the enemy ranks, and it's a most proper behavior for a knight. str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}. It is a pleasure going into battle with men like Roger by my side. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}. I was just having a word with Halbert after our last battle, and it strikes me that the man has got a good head on his shoulders. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech|I was just having a chat with Drollo, as we picked through the bodies after our last little scrap. str_npc17_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, while I was fighting in the frontline this battle I got finally a chance to speak to Serol. What a revelation it was to hear his story I feel like I could write many poems about his exploits. str_npc18_personalitymatch_speech|Have I been wrong? I thought that everyone in the whole world was out there to kill me, you excluded of course, but now that I have spoken to Ser Roger, I'm not sure about that. He seems so nice and understanding. str_npc19_personalitymatch_speech|... str_npc20_personalitymatch_speech|The Heavens be praised that you enlisted Gyrnir in your company. He's a good fighter, and clearly tries to live a moral life, just like me. str_npc21_personalitymatch_speech|My friend, it's good to fight alongside Ser Jasper. He is brave, and most of all, honorable. str_npc22_personalitymatch_speech|My liege, have you heard Alyns story? About the abuse of power by his village elder? Her tale made my blood boil. How I wish I was there to tell him what I think of him. str_npc23_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen Alyn? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc24_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen {s11}? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc25_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen {s11}? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc26_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen {s11}? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc27_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen {s11}? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc28_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}, have you seen {s11}? Ah, he's a handsome man, is he not? Makes a woman wish to put away the mace and pick up the gown. str_npc29_personalitymatch_speech|{playername}. I was just talking to {s11}. He may be a bit savage, but I believe that he is a faithful friend. str_npc1_personalitymatch_speech_b|Without good honest souls like him to bring light into the world, knights like me would have a hard time in life, I'll warrant. I'm glad to have him with us. str_npc2_personalitymatch_speech_b|Based on how he did in that last fight, I'd say that I'd trust my back to him any day, although I'd still keep a hand on my purse. str_npc3_personalitymatch_speech_b|I also confess that I find him a truly delightful companion, a man of both wit and manners. Good day, {playername}. str_npc4_personalitymatch_speech_b|You chose well to enlist him in our company. He knows a thing or two about a fight, and also knows the importance of respecting his superiors, unlike some others I might mention. str_npc5_personalitymatch_speech_b|As for his other attributes, I find that he is a truer knight than many I have met. str_npc6_personalitymatch_speech_b|I must say that Halbert is a source of great comfort to me. I have told him of my past sins, and he told me that the Father is sure to forgive me. str_npc7_personalitymatch_speech_b|Ser Bennis is a true knight. I've been discussing the intricacies of handling the peasants, and he quite agrees with me, that we ought to punish them more often! str_npc8_personalitymatch_speech_b|He managed to include their geneology, their appearance, and their eating habits in a well-framed Old Valyrian quatrain. I personally prefer the saga, but we northerners respect poetic craftwork when we hear it. str_npc9_personalitymatch_speech_b|I rather like this fellow. He's good company! str_npc10_personalitymatch_speech_b|Heh. It just goes to show that your former way of life ain't everything, that enthusiasm also wins battles. I reckon he and I could teach the young puppies of the world how proper men act. str_npc11_personalitymatch_speech_b|Ser Roger in particular showed them a thing or two, I thought. Not bad for the pair of us, I think between us we killed half the enemies that came towards us! str_npc12_personalitymatch_speech_b|It saddens him deeply to take the lives of his fellow men, however just the cause. He and I have talked together of a brighter future, where in the realm is not shattered by war. str_npc13_personalitymatch_speech_b|I'm sure that in this splendid company, we'll all end up lords by the end of our days! str_npc14_personalitymatch_speech_b|He is a professional soldier, and though he may not be as fast on his feet as some others, he knows the wisdom of holding together in a disciplined battle-line. You showed good sense in bringing him into this company. str_npc15_personalitymatch_speech_b|War, like any other affair, requires careful planning and preparation, and a firm grasp of strategic principals. All other things being equal, the best trained army will win the battle, an observation that I think our last fight bears out. The men may curse him now, but they'll learn to thank him, I'll warrant. str_npc16_personalitymatch_speech_b|Have you heard of this Dothraki people? Fascinating stories he tells. str_npc17_personalitymatch_speech_b|To hear him tell it, he had to fight a hundred men to escape Pentos! str_npc18_personalitymatch_speech_b|I've heard tales of the knights of the green lands, but I never expected him to be so genial and honest. str_npc19_personalitymatch_speech_b|... str_npc20_personalitymatch_speech_b|His story might seem unbelievable -- especially with the way he fights, which I recognized last battle -- but at least he shook his old shackles off and tries to find a better way in life. str_npc21_personalitymatch_speech_b|When I talked to Ser Jasper after our last battle, I understood that he's been far away from home too. I feel we are similar souls, and destined to be friends, my friend. str_npc22_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I feel sorry for him. But I'm glad that there is at least one soul in this company that really understands me. str_npc23_personalitymatch_speech_b|I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there, both in my bed and in the fields. str_npc24_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there. str_npc25_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there. str_npc26_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there. str_npc27_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there. str_npc28_personalitymatch_speech_b|Maybe it's the way he talks, or the way he walks. I'll have to bring him back to Bear Island, he'd do well there. str_npc29_personalitymatch_speech_b|At some point in the future, if you have no need of our services, he has promised to go back to Volantis with me, find my father, and help me take my revenge. It was a kind offer. I am glad that he is with us.

It is not the same thing as the troops' happiness. Elite troops may grumble and whine about the hardships of campaigning -- but then stand together as one when the arrows start to fly. On the other hand, a commander who gives his men everything they want may find that they grow soft, and waiver before the enemy's charge.^^Morale's greatest impact is on a party's behavior in battle, determining how aggressively troops engage the enemy, and how likely they are to break and run if they perceive the tide of battle turning against them. Morale also affects a party's march speed, as a less motivated party will move more slowly, as the men are not pushing themselves to their physical limit, and pause more frequently, as it waits for stragglers to catch up. Finally, a party with very low morale will start to suffer desertions.^^Some factors that affect morale are intuitive. For example, a charismatic commander with a reputation for winning battles can infuse his or her men with a sense of confidence. Leaders who give their men well ample and varied supplies of food, and pay them on time, demonstrate that they care about their troops' welfare, and are less likely to lead them into disaster.^^Other factors are less intuitive -- particularly those related to a party's sense of group cohesion. In a small tight-knit party, for example, men will often fight hard against daunting odds to avoid showing cowardice before their comrades-in-arms. A large party on the other hand may see its cohesion strained, as the commander has less time to supervise the men, listen to their grievances, and resolve their disputes. Frequent battles will strengthen the bonds between men, while long periods without combat will see the troops become bored and quarrelsome.^^The morale report, accessibly by hitting the 'reports' button will give the player a sense of the factors affecting his or her men's morale. ip_economy|Warband Economy ip_economy_text|Towns and villages in Pendor need a wide variety of goods for their populations to remain healthy and productive. First in importance is food. Grain is the staple crop of Pendor, but people also need fat and protein in the form of meat, fish, or cheese. It takes almost as much work to preserve meat as to produce it in the first place, so salt is also in high demand. After food comes clothing heavy wool, lighter linens, or luxurious velvet. Finally, people need the tools of their trade ironware, pottery, leatherware, and, of course, arms, armor, and horses for war.^^Most agricultural products are produced in the villages, while artisans in the towns specialize in manufactured or artisanal goods like fabrics or ironware. Also, different resources can be found in different parts of the country. Consequently, the key to prosperity in Pendor is trade -- both between the villages and the towns, and between the major towns themselves.^^When trade flows, goods will be available and affordable, the population of a center will be healthy and energetic, and migrants will flock from the nearby regions. The center will produce more, consume more, and be able to contribute more in taxes to their lords. When trade dries up, towns and villages will see their workers flee to seek work elsewhere, and economic activity will drift to a stand-still. Thus, it is in the interests of rulers to protect trade routes from the hazards of war and banditry. A smart merchant, however, may want to seek out towns which have become isolated from the rest of the land, as he or she may be able to turn a tidy profit from the resulting price imbalances.^^Because villagers usually plan to take their goods to market in towns, village markets will be rather quiet places, and villagers will buy cheap and sell dear. Serious merchants will stick to the towns to make a profit, although some parties may decide to make a quick stop in a village to acquire supplies.^^A player who wants to know about the factors affecting a region's prosperity can speak to the guildmaster of the local town. Other information can be gleaned from passers-by, although they might not know very much outside of their own particular trade. ip_courtship|Warband Courtship ip_courtship_text|Players may wish to marry into one of Pendor's noble families. Marriage is not necessary for a player to rise in power and stature, but it does provide players with an opportunity to improve their relation with lords and establish a claim to the throne.^^Marriage requirements will be different for males and females. A male character will usually need to pursue a traditional path of courtship. He should establish a reputation in Pendorian aristocratic society, get on good terms with his bride's parents or guardians, and then woo the lady according to local custom. If a player grows impatient, he may attempt to take a shortcut -- but there will be consequences in his relations with other lords.^^A male character should keep in mind that other lords will be competing with him for the affections of the kingdom's ladies. Also, a lady's tastes are unpredictable, and a player may also find that the object of his love does not love him in return. Romance, in Pendor as elsewhere, does not always prosper. Of course, a player may resort to other, less gentlemanly means of winning a lady's heart, but again, that will have a serious impact on his reputation.^^To get started on the path of courtship, a male player should try to get involved in the social life of the Pendorian aristocracy, attending feasts and tournaments. Also, wandering troubadours and poets can serve as a useful repository of information on courtship, and keep the player up to date about the latest gossip.^^Female characters can also marry -- but they should keep in mind that Pendorian society is very traditional, and, as adventurers, they have chosen a very unconventional path for a woman. A female character may have to look for a while to find a lord who is open-minded enough to marry her.^^On the bright side, a female character does not have to go through the elaborate rituals of courtship, and she also may gain more from a marriage than her male counterpart. For a woman adventurer, marriage can be a quick path to power -- and an unscrupulous character may be able to use her husband as a tool of her political ambitions. ip_politics|Warband Politics ip_politics_text|The realms of Pendor, although they represent different cultures, all adhere to the same basic political system feudalism. Feudalism is based on the relationships between individuals the oaths of loyalty given by a vassal to his or her liege. In exchange for this oath, the vassal will usually receive a fief, a parcel of land whose income will be used by the vassal to raise troops to support the liege in time of war. A liege also has an obligation to protect his vassals, and to treat them justly.^^This is how it works in theory, anyway. In practice, vassals will not always work in their factions' interests, particular as they are often quarreling with one another. Nobles have different personalities, and sometimes those personalities clash. Or, perhaps two nobles were once friends, but fell out over in the aftermath of a setback or a defeat -- or because they both were wooing the same lady. Jealousies will also surface as they vie for the favor of the king -- perhaps over newly conquered lands, or over who will be given the coveted office of marshal, the lord in charge of organizing large-scale campaigns.^^When one realm in Pendor makes war on another, the political unity of the each kingdom is as important as the quality or number of its soldiers in determining the outcome. In a cohesive kingdom, nobles will join together in a large force to sweep their opponents before them. In a kingdom divided by petty quarrels, lords will fail to respond to the marshal's summons, or drift away to attend to their own business if a campaign is not going well. A faction's political cohesion will also impact warfare when campaigns are not in progress. In a divided faction, lords will be less likely to join together on raids and patrols, and come to each other's defense.^^If it seems self-defeating for nobles to bicker and quarrel when the enemy is just over the horizon, keep this in mind -- ultimately, a noble's loyalty goes not to a particular faction or culture, but to himself and to his family. If a noble fears that his faction is collapsing, or if he is being neglected by his liege, he can usually find a reason to withdraw his oath of allegiance, and change sides. Players should keep this in mind, as they may find that there are opportunities to turn discontented former enemies into allies. ip_character_backgrounds|Warband Character Backgrounds ip_character_backgrounds_text|A player character in Pendor may choose to come from a variety of social backgrounds. This choice will affect not just his or her starting skills and equipment, but also the course of his or her career as an adventurer.^^War and politics in Pendor are traditionally dominated by male aristocrats. A noble player character may find that he is invited into this 'old boys' club' fairly quickly, but commoners may face a few extra hurdles on the way. If you choose to start the game as a noble, you can think of it as the 'easy' setting. Starting as a commoner is somewhat more difficult^^However, women have some starting advantages. It is traditionally easier for a woman to marry up the social ladder than it is for a man, and a woman may find she can gain more from a strategic marital alliance than her male counterpart.^^Finally, keep in mind that the game does not place any limits on the upward mobility of characters based on their background. Noble or common, male or female, married or unmarried -- anyone can rise to become ruler of all Pendor, if they are sufficiently brave, lucky, or resourceful. ip_military_campaigns|Warband Military Campaigns ip_military_campaigns_text|When kingdoms in Pendor go to war, their armies have two basic offensive options. They can try to attack villages and lay waste to the countryside, damaging their enemy's prestige and economy. Or, they can try to seize and hold castles or towns, taking territory This second option can involve long, bloody sieges, but will yield more decisive results.^^It is important to note that the realms of Pendor do not field standing armies, which remain in the field as long as the ruler desires. Rather, Pendorian realms are protected by feudal levies comprised of the major nobles and their individual retinues. Sometimes, these nobles launch their own private attacks into enemy territory, but the most decisive events will usually take place when the great hosts are assembled. The kingdom's marshal, a noble appointed by the king, will summon the host before the campaign and lead them out to battle. However, he should be careful not to keep them in the field too long. Otherwise, the host will begin to disintegrate, as the vassals drift off to pursue their own business, and the army will be vulnerable to a counter-attack.^^For this reason, the rhythm of wars in Pendor often resemble the rhythm of a duel between two individual combatants. One side will gather its strength and seek to land a blow against the enemy's territory. If the marshal spends too little time gathering the vassals, he may not be able to do any real damage. If he spends too much time, then the campaign may end before it has even begun. A large realm will have an advantage over a smaller one, just as a brawny combatant has an edge over a smaller foe, but a realm's political cohesion can also be a factor, just as a fighter with great stamina can outlast her opponent. Sometimes, the armies of two realms will meet head on, resulting in a major battle in which both numbers and morale will decide the outcome.^^Kingdoms will have imperfect intelligence about their enemies. Attacking lords will need to frequently scout enemy territory to determine which fortresses may be vulnerable. An army defending its homeland will benefit from the alarms raised by castles and towns, which broadcast intelligence about enemy movements in the area. Such intelligence will be imprecise, however, particularly when it comes to numbers. A defending force which sets out to raise a siege or rescue a village may be able to overwhelm an unprepared attacker -- or it may miscalculate, and find that it is the one to be overwhelmed. Attackers, in turn, must be careful how far they advance into enemy territory, with aggressive marshals venturing further than cautious ones.^^Players will be expected to join in their faction's military campaign, either by joining the host, or by scouting ahead into enemy territory. Some players may find that their realm's marshal is too cautious, or too aggressive, for their tastes. In this case, they can intrigue with other lords to try to replace the marshal, or build support to become the marshal themselves.^^Most wars are of limited duration. A king who goes to war will, for the sake of honor, feel obligated to pursue the conflict for a short while. However, unless he is soundly beating his enemy. he may soon start looking for a way out of the conflict, lest he leave himself vulnerable to an attack by a third party. Pendor's rulers are keenly aware that today's ally may be tomorrow's enemy, and vice versa. ip_pendor_history|Pendor The History ip_pendor_history_text|Almost a Millennium ago^^The war of the Titans laid the foundation for the ascension of Man. A terrible war, between ancient elder races left the world stripped of magic, and those magnificent mythical people, once so powerful, were now only the stuff of folklore and legends. Only the reclusive Noldor, remain from those times, and their once great cities are all destroyed save perhaps one.^^Three hundred fifty four years ago - the Founding of Pendor.^^It is the time of Man. The story centers on the fertile lands of Pendor and the struggles of the peoples, their leaders and their destiny. Several hundred years ago, a single Kingdom was forged by sword and fire. A peace was maintained and prosperity came to the kingdom and it flourished. Five generations of Pendorian Kings sat on the Silver Throne in Sarleon and for nearly two hundred years they guided the destiny of their land and its subjects.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 198^^The downfall of the Kingdom was as swift as it was vile. A single month, thirty days, and the empire was in tatters. The irony was it was not by the sword in battle, nor by some dark magic that caused the deaths of the King and his family. But by an unseen killer, a disease, the red plague that ravaged the land and cut down the peoples of the Kingdom, great and small, like an assassin in the night.^The royal family had perished, and there was no King to rule the land. Then came the invasions that seemed to shatter the once proud kingdom into slivers and the glory that was once the Kingdom of Pendor, was now itself the stuff of legend.^With the death of the King and his heirs, there was chaos. Multiple lords laid claim to the throne and nearly every noble of the land began squabbling over succession.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 199^^The carefully laid agreements, truces and alliances with neighboring powers became suspect. In the North, the mountain tribesmen began raiding the heartlands of Pendor. Embolden by their success and the lack of response from the Knights of the Realm, they struck even deeper and soon this led to the siege to Rane. The Earl of Rane sought help from the nobles of the land, but the schemes of the powerful found reasons not to come to his aid. Many Northern Lords, banded together and formed a small army that marched to defend the city from the onslaught of the northern Mystmountain warriors.. The battle was bloody and fierce, and in the end, the siege was lifted, and the barbarian tribesmen and their shaman leaders, routed back to their mountain homes. The Northern Lords, who fought so valiantly that day, decided to establish a knighthood order, the Order of the Dragon, comprised of the valiant warriors who defended the city. News of this new order was not well received by other knighthood orders or by the nobility to the South. They demanded that the Order of the Dragon be disbanded which in the minds of the proud warriors of the North, was an unforgivable insult to their valor. The scorn of other established knighthood and the lack of support to route the invaders from Rane prompted the Northern Lords to break ties with the southern lords and declared themselves an independent Kingdom The Kingdom of Ravenstern.^Reeling from the succession of the Northern cities and lords, the remaining Pendorian nobility were not prepared to meet the next challenge that followed within a few short years.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 202^^From the South, over the southern sea, the great Baccus empire launched an invasion fleet and landed a powerful army on the shores of Pendor led by the war hardened General Oasar. He drove inland conquering cities and castles, and seemed unstoppable. Ironically, within a few short months of campaigning, the general received by messenger that the great Baccus Empire itself was in civil war and that the Emperor had been assassinated. After receiving this shocking news, Oasar established himself, with the support of several Pendor Lords, as Overlord of Janos and officially broke away from what was left of the Baccus Empire. The great Baccus Empire convoluted and fragmented into dozens of principalities, city-states and kingdoms. The greatest and most powerful is the under the dominion of the priesthood of the serpent a powerful and seemingly mystical religion of warrior priests who worship the unnamed goddess of darkness who manifests herself in the form of a snake.^For the once great kingdom of Pendor, that meant that a large portion of its Southern lands, cities and nobility were now either dead or sworn to service under this upstart general who calls himself Overlord.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 204^^After the establishment of the Northern Kingdom of Ravenstern and the invasion of Oasar, the powerful Lord Alfred, Duke of Sarleon, consolidated the remaining lords of Pendor and declared himself King of Sarleon. For ten years a measure of peace was maintained.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 213^^To the far north, across the seas lived the hearty warriors of the Vanskerry. Segmented into Jarldoms, they were raiders and traders. With the Baccus Empire gone, many of the Vanskerry mercenaries in their employ were free to return home to the frosty shores of their fathers. A wise man's musings in the reaches of Vanskerry goes 'Death is found in the blade of your enemy and trouble when a warrior has nothing to do.' When word came to the North of the troubles of Pendor, it was greeted with a call to arms and promises of plunder and women. Soon, raiding ships found the shores of Pendor a ripe land full of gold and wealth. Their well-armed and hearty warriors began raiding the towns and villages along the coast and met very little resistance. The Knights of the Lion and Lords of Sarleon responded by patrolling the coastal shores. Yet, still the crafty Vanskerry raiders managed to sack village after village. With so little ability to defend themselves, the merchant lords of the Pendorian coastal provinces sent delegations to the Jarldoms to seek alliances and protection. At first they were rejected, but in time as offers included titles and lands many Jarls and their huscarls began to listen. The lands of Vanskerry are rugged and cold, compared with the lush and rich pastures of Pendor. The lure of good weather, and the chance to become a Lord of a castle, or even a well-located mayor of a village, appealed to many of the Jarls. Soon, many Vanskerry households left the shores of their fathers and sought fortune and prosperity along the coast of Pendor. Some entered into the service of the Pendorian lords, others married into the noble families. This changed many things in the Kingdom, as the warrior culture and attitudes of Vanskerry were brought into the noble houses of the coastal lords. Within a generation the culture gap was so great that the coastal nobles broke away from the King of Sarleon and formed a rough alliance of city-states called collectively the Fierdsvain.^^From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 204 to 245^^The story continues about detailed intrigues, war and heroic actions as well as the great villains of the land. There were stories of the Jatu tribesmen and their flight from the Empire and General Oasar, becoming nomads in the Eastern prairies of Pendor. There are the detailed accounts of the Order of the Lion, a knighthood order of Pendor, and their history and their betrayal by one of their own which had the order declared outlaw for years until their redemption under the current King of Sarleon. Chapters were dedicated to the D'Shar, a nomadic peoples who are evolving into a military and economic force only to find that their own worst enemy is themselves. Just as fascinating was the references to the encounters with the ancient Noldor and their powerful weapons and enchantments that changed the life of more than one adventurer. I was especially drawn to the story of Madigan, a wandering mystic who prophesized the coming of a hero who would unite the lords of the Pendor and reunite the old kingdom. His saga touched me as a hero himself, trying to speak the truth and being condemned to death for his beliefs. ip_pendor_present|Pendor The Present ip_pendor_present_text|From the Founding of Pendor - the year is 354 - The Prophesy has awakened.^^The North - Ravenstern and the Mystmountain Barbarians^^To the North, the Kingdom of Ravenstern sits on the southern slopes of the impassible Cloudmist Mountains. They are a hearty, proud peoples having adapted to the harsh Northern climate. The ruler of Ravenstern is King Gregory IV, the great grandson of King Gregory I, who led the final charge that drove the shaman of the northern barbarians back into their homes in the Cloudmist Mountains. Every since that battle, Ravenstern has been tested by constant raids and sorties from these bloodthirsty clansmen. The Lords of Ravenstern are fearsome warriors, yet they are quite proud and very individualistic. There is a strong underlying culture of competition among these peoples that makes them outstanding individual warriors, though in groups they tend to be undisciplined. The Knights of the Order of the Dragon, the cream of the Ravenstern nobility, are to be feared in combat. Like most of the other Knighthood Orders in the realm, these Knights do not swear allegiance to any noble, but rather travel with the Lords of the realm when it suits them.^^The West - The Fierdsvain and the raiders of Vanskerry^^Along the coast to the West is Fierdsvain, where some of the Jarls of Vanskerry have intermingled and intermarried with the old Kingdom to form a unique warrior culture. Most of the former mercenary Jarls of Vanskerry who went to war on behalf of the Emperor of the Baccus Empire had difficulty in returning to the cold barren shores of the North. When the emissaries from the coastal lords of Pendor arrived, many jumped at the chance to establish themselves in better climates. However, there were many in Vanskerry who looked upon these mercenary Jarls as turncoats to the code of the North and have sworn to make it a point to plunder the lands held by these traitors. Regardless, infused with new blood, strong warriors and an appetite for both battle and trade, the Fierdsvain have flourished and have become as powerful as Sarleon itself.^^The ashes of Pendor - The Kingdom of Sarleon^^The Kingdom of Sarleon dominates the center of the game map. The current King, Ulric of Sarleon, is the descendent of King Alfred I, former Duke Alfred of Sarleon. Once King Alfred established the Kingdom of Sarleon, most of the Knighthood orders charged with defending Pendor were outlawed. The most famous of the outlawed orders was the Order of the Griffon the guardians of the royal line of Pendor. Today only one order, the Order of the Lion still exists in Sarleon. This noble order backed Alfred's claim to rule. The Order of the Lion since that time has had a murky past, and for a score of years they also were outlawed. Today they have been vindicated and are now in the good graces of King Ulric of Sarleon and are the guardians of the realm.^^The Southern Steppes - The D'Shar Nomads^^The South, along the Shavanir Desert is the Principality of D'Shar made of dozens of separate individual tribes. At the height of the founding of the Kingdom of Pendor several tribes supported the peace and prosperity that the Kings of Pendor offered them for a treaty of peace. The peace turned into an alliance and these tribes began trading with the Northern Kingdoms. The makeshift tents and stalls that they set up in the plains of D'Shar over several generations became small-fortified towns and villages. No longer were they nomadic, but settled down, built homes and planted crops. Their prosperity quickly propelled these tribes into prominence in the D'Shar plains. Yet, those tribes who were staunchly tied to the old ways, remain nomadic and have rejected the 'city dwellers' completely. Recently they have reverted to raiding the many caravans coming into and out of these towns. This has caused a great deal of tension between the cities and the tribal nomads closer to the great desert.^^The Southeast - The Empire and the Snake Cult^^The remnants in and on Pendor of the Great Baccus Empire are now called just 'The Empire'. However, some portion of the old Baccus Republic (Pre-Empire by several hundred years) must have had profound influence on General Oasar, as he decreed that a democratic council of Lords selects each new 'Overlord' when either the existing ruler dies or reaches the age of sixty. The strong military of the Empire could have long ago swept Northwards into the Pendor heartland and conquered the interior towns, but for the ties that the Empire has from their homeland across the Southern Sea, which have plagued them to no end. The Serpent Cult has been a constant threat, both politically and empirically to the Empire as they almost successfully corrupted the Empire ruling class from within. It did not help that the many civilians and nobles were until recently openly in support of the path of the Serpent. All this has changed. The current Emperor, Marius I, has been successful in banning the Priests and temples from the cities of the Empire. This diplomatic feat has resulted in more of an all out war between the priesthood and the Empire and battles in and around Empire towns and castles are common. The Serpent worshipers in Pendor have gone underground, and receive help from across the Southern Sea where the heart of the Serpent resides. Marius I, has deftly turned the tables on the priesthood and has shown to the peoples of the Empire the depths of their unholy depravity. Escaping the death kiss of a Priestess of the Serpent is strong motivation for the average citizen to help their emperor in this task.^^East - the Jatu tribesmen^^Along the Eastern plains of Pendor are the steppes of the Jatu. The original Jatu lived across the Southern Sea in a land of vast plains. They were a fiercely independent nomadic people, well versed with bow and spear. The Jatu are skillful horsemen and boys at an early age learn how to fight from horseback. After years of conflict, the Baccus Empire brokered an agreement with the leaders the Jatu that in exchange for peace. The Jatu would provide mercenaries to the Empire to conquer other lands. When General Oasar invaded Pendor, his main compliment of cavalry was the Jatu Horse Lords. When word came that the Great Baccus Empire was in tatters and that the Emperor was dead, the War leaders of the Jatu had no way to return to their homeland. Instead, they left the service of Oasar, raided dozens of villages for women folk, and traveled northwards to establish a new homeland for their peoples. A closed society that refuses trade and diplomatic overtures, these warriors will attack anyone in their domain.^^Everywhere - at-large - those with weapons and the will to use them^^Once the Empire's armies began to stand down and call Southern Pendor their own, the more unsavory elements, to which the old Baccus Empire was famous for, began to emerge. The Red Brotherhood is a confederation of secret societies that crossed borders all across Pendor. They are bandits, thieves, slavers, and they deal in unsavory plans and sell whatever they can get their hands on. You will find them at times, helpful, and at times, they will be glad to relieve you of your possessions and perhaps your life. Town Militia and various lords try to wipe them out when found, but rooting them out of the various cities is like trying to kill rat infestation with a stick. You never seem to get them all. Note that the various gangs of Red Brotherhood operate independently of one another.^^While there are many hazards in Pendor to be wary of, perhaps one of the most dangerous are the various Renegade Knights who wander the countryside. These knights are of various origins, some are from outlawed knighthood orders, others are twisted by the wild magic of the items which they carry, and some are just bent on the destruction of any who cross their path. One thing if for certain, they are deadly.^^There are many religions and faiths in the lands of Pendor. Most of them are benevolent, and maintain a doctrine that is the bridge between life and death with a code of conduct that paves the way for a pleasant hereafter. A few of the non-benevolent religions are bent upon destruction and hatred. These followers are termed heretics by the other faiths, and are looked upon as something to be stamped out. Heretics often are believers in human sacrifice, and other dark rituals and are unsavory at best. At worse, they bring the stuff from your worst nightmares to life.^^In your travels you will find adventurer companies. These groups of adventurers are from varied backgrounds and have many different goals. Some are on missions for various lords, some are bounty hunters, and still others are explorers of the ancient cities destroyed long ago. If they happen to take an interest in you, be prepared for anything as it is these self-styled heroes that turn up in the most improbable places, with the most unreal equipment and do the impossible. ^^To the far East, the Noldor.^^The last known remaining trace of the elder races are the Noldor. The war of the Titans was horrific, and the once graceful cities of these folks have long since been destroyed. Only this one place, hidden from outsiders, remains of their civilization. The Noldor were once wondrous workers of magic, but one of the results of the great conflict was that they were no longer able to invoke the cantrips and spells that were so central to their lives. Still, some of their lesser enchantments are still working as evidenced by their almost supernatural abilities on the battlefield. None who cross the paths of the Noldor near their home, come away unscathed. ip_pendor_orders|Pendor The Knighthood Orders ip_pendor_orders_text|History of the Pendorian Knighthood orders as researched and scribed by Hubris deAelswid of Sarleon, Scholar of the third order and keeper of the Seal of Sarleon.^^The founding of Pendor was accomplished by a figure of legendary renown Cavalas of Valonbray, the son of a renowned knight who, depending on which historian you reference, either 8th or 12th in line to the throne of Valonbray. Regardless, through exploit and adventure Cavalas brought together the various noble lords and founded the Kingdom of Pendor and established the Silver Throne in Sarleon.^^It is generally regarded as fact that King Cavalas, in his adventuring days formed the Order of the Griffin, which is considered the first Knighthood order of the Pendorian Kindgom.^^Soon after his coronation, Cavalas drafted the Validus Charta, and it was signed by the various noble lords of the realm and through this document established the binding charter and legal grounds for the existence of a body of knights to form an organized order that had recognized coat of arms. It is generally argued that this was a condition by some Lords to support King Cavalas in the establishment of Pendor. This claim cannot be verified as no documents are known to exist that substantiate this theory.^^Regardless, within several years a plethora of knighthood orders sprung up in Sarleon and other cities and castles. Few of course lasted more than the lifetime of the founder, and this document shall confine its scope only to those orders that have survived in some form, to this day, the 12th of April, 354, with one notable exception that of the Order of the Griffon.^^The Order of the Lion - Established in the 82nd year after the founding of Pendor by Sir. Roderick the Red. Colors Red Rampant Lion on a silver field. The Order of the Lion is one of the largest and most renowned orders of Knights in the land. The charter of the order is strict in it's chivalrous by-laws. It is the oldest knighthood order that still has members in Pendor. After the untimely deaths of the royal family in 198, the order was instrumental, along with the Order of the Griffon, in establishing and maintaining order in the realm and preventing an all out war between rival factions contending for the throne of Pendor.^^After the succession of the Northern Lords, and the war with the Greater Baccus Empire, the order backed and supported Duke Alfred of Sarleon in assuming the throne and declaring a himself the King of Sarleon.^^In the 298th year after the founding of Pendor, the Order was outlawed. All texts and reference to the reasons and history surrounding this event have been destroyed by the order of our King, Ulric I of Sarleon, himself now a prominent member of this Knighthood Order. In the 346th year after the founding of Pendor, the Order was restored by the order of King Ulric I of Sarleon and all references to the events and histories since 298 were destroyed.^Scholars note King Ulric was coroneted in 346.^^The Order of the Radiant Cross. This Knighthood Order was established in the 113th year after the founding of Pendor by Baron Jorn of Dunglave. Colors White Cross on a Black Field.^Scholars note Dunglave was renamed to Janos after the occupation of the city by General Oasar in the 203rd year after the founding of Pendor.^The order was one of the prominent forces to battle the invasion by the Greater Baccus Empire in the 202nd year after the founding of Pendor. Overwhelmed in the battle of Sagent Glade, they were all but destroyed by the legions under General Oasar. When General Oasar became 'Overlord', and after the desertion by the Jatu, he incorporated the order colors to form the identifying marks of his elite cavalry units. While these Cavalrymen are not true Knights by any stretch of the imagination, and they do not operate under the Validus Charta, the colors survive and the citizens of the empire often refer to these mounted soldiers as the remnant of that once noble order of Knights.^^The Order of the Dragon - Established in the 199th year after the founding of Pendor by Earl Klovis of Rane. Colors Red Dragon on a field of Azure. There are some accounts that the order was actually ordained on the field of battle during the siege of Rane. Other accounts point out that the order actually came into existence when the documents were ratified and signed several weeks later by the traitorous lords of the Northern borders. I shall leave that debate in the hands of other brothers to determine, if indeed it shall be settled in my lifetime.^^The Order of the Dragon was created to honor the noble warriors who stood and routed the armies of the Mystmountain Tribes during the siege of Rane. It is a rogue order, with no charter under the Validus Charta.^^The Order of the Falcon - Established in 94th year after the founding of Pendor. Colors Black Falcon on a yellow field. This order has the notable distinction of allowing females into it's ranks. The original charter allowed for this as one of the five founding members was a woman warrior by the name of Valera who was of no little prowess on the battlefield. This Order originated as a very successful adventuring company in the early years of the Kingdom that later transformed itself under the Validus Charta.^^The Order fragmented after the breaking up of the Kingdom and over the years have declined to the point of extinction. The order was outlawed in Ravenstern in the 349th year after the founding of Pendor by King Gregory IV. Most of the order either retired or fled to other lands.^Scholars note The order may have survived in a form with the Valkyrie in Fierdsvain as they wear the orders emblem upon their breasts. No documents survive that speak of this, and the initiation rites of the Valkyrie are not well documented nor understood. Though I daresay that I doubt that any of my scholarly brothers would want to risk their manhood by too closely examining the breasts of these female warriors. ^^The Order of the Griffon - Established prior to the founding of Pendor. Colors Gold Griffon on a field of brown. This prestigious order of knights were the royal guards of the line of Cavalas. The plague of 198 wiped out a large amount of the Order Knights as well as the Royal family.^After the plague, they put aside their differences and worked with the Order of the Lion to maintain order in the land. In the 203rd year after the founding of Pendor, in the forests of Laria the order made it's last stand against a small army of the Jatu who were moving into the Larian farmlands. While successful in defending Laria from being plundered by the Jatu, not a single Knight of this once proud order survived. The great hall of the Griffon Knights in Sarleon stood empty for many years until being converted into an abbey. Scholars note There is some reference in the recorded histories of the Order of the Lion that prospective knights applying to resurrect the Order of the Griffin were discouraged from achieving their goal. This will have to be researched further.^^Order of the Rose - Founded in the 125th year after the founding of Pendor. Colors White Rose on a green field. This order was founded by Sir Rhys of Avendor and during his lifetime was a prominent order of gallant knights. After his death in the 158th year after the founding of Pendor, his successor turned the order away from martial pursuits and more towards scholarly ones. Since that time the order has degenerated into an elite club for the sons of the Sarleon nobility to enjoy fine wine, and intellectual diatribe. I list it as it still does exist in the taverns and back rooms of Avendor.^^By my hand and no other..^^Hubris de Aelswid of Sarleon,^Scholar of the third order^Keeper of the Seal of Sarleon. ip_pendor_althea|Pendor Althea and Qualis ip_pendor_althea_text|The storm raged against the cold stone walls of the castle.^^Echoes of thunder rumbled down cheerless corridors and into the great hall, where reveling shadows danced across rough stone walls to the silent music of flickering torches.^^Althea sat alone beside the pool, clutching a finely-patterned wool shawl to ward off the damp chill.^^'I hear you, Qualis,' she said simply. She looked up into the high rafters where the shadows deepened, untouched by the torchlight.^^Above her, the snap and whirr of leathery wings announced the descent of a small dragon. It touched down beside her, its sharp, curved claws scraping against the flagstones.^^'Why do you not rest?' rasped Qualis.^^'The storm keeps me wakeful. It reminds me of the night we lost our father, my brother and I,' said Althea, as she turned her gaze from the dragon back to the still water of the pool.^^The meredragon regarded her silently, as she drifted into memories of her past. The pain of her sacrifice was still fresh, and as she thought back on all she'd given up, a solitary tear slid down her cheek.^^The dragon watched her grief in bewilderment. He had lived with this elf-woman for years and still she remained an enigma. He could not comprehend her strong ties to her own kind, particularly her unbreakable link to her hatch-brother. He knew of the mysteries and the will. He understood the loose kinship of his kind, love of the hunt, the need every twenty winters to seek out a mate, but Althea's behavior was inexplicable.^^He wondered, and not for the first time, if she was mentally defective or had a disease which caused a sickness of spirit.^^He felt a familiar touch upon his mind then, a gentle shifting of perception, and knew that the Oracle was again coming to inhabit his consciousness. He had long ago ceased fighting this inner interloper. For centuries he had struggled against this possession, and always in vain. The futility of this resistance was at last borne upon him, and he discovered that cooperation was of mutual benefit.^^Now, out of habit, he simply relaxed and cleared his mind.^^'Althea, you are in pain,' rasped the Oracle through Qualis.^^Althea started, as she always did when the Oracle took control of the dragon's body without warning.^^'Yes', she began, 'I suppose I am. The storm has brought back so many sorrowful memories.'^^'I know that it is still difficult for you, however willingly your choice was made. Yet poor Qualis does not understand, and is disturbed by your grief,' the Oracle said.^^She felt the warm, familiar touch in her mind, and let the Oracle enter her consciousness. The room began to fade around her, and she slipped peacefully into the black.^^When she opened her eyes again, it was morning. The storm had passed, and brilliant sunlight had banished the torch shadows from the great hall. The air smelled fresh and clean, with a hint of the rain still lingering.^^Sitting on his haunches and surrounded by glittering, sapphire-hued gems was Qualis, perched with wings folded back and forearms resting upon his knees. 'I am going release Qualis to himself now. Please be gentle with him, as he is deeply distressed.' said the Oracle.^^Althea looked at the Oracle-Qualis in confusion. 'Why is he distressed? And what are these. ' she asked, as she indicated the dozens of glowing gems, scattered like shimmering raindrops about the room.^^'I allowed Qualis to experience your sorrow, Althea. Dragons, even clever meredragons, are incapable of understanding elven emotion. Their needs are simple, and they lack the emotive expression of your kind. These gems are the tears that Qualis shed when he experienced your pain.^^Still confused, Althea said, 'Dragons feel no sorrow, nor do they shed tears!'^^'Do not and can not are worlds apart, my dear. For last night, this little dragon did. Once Qualis is more composed, he will undoubtedly slink off to sulk, so please pick up this litter of gems. I believe that they just may be useful one day.'

The people are malnourished, their animals are sick or dying, and the tools of their trade appear to be broken. The back alleys have been abandoned to flies and mangy dogs. str_town_alt_prosperity_20|You hear grumbling in the marketplace about the price of everyday items, and the shops are half empty. You see the signs of malnourishment on both people and animals, and both buildings and tools suffer from lack of repair. Many may already have migrated to seek work elsewhere. str_town_alt_prosperity_40|You hear the occasional grumble in the marketplace about the price of everyday items, but there appear to be a reasonable amount of goods for sale. You see the occasional abandoned building, shop, or cart, but nothing more than the ordinary. str_town_alt_prosperity_60|The people look well-fed and relatively content. Craftsmen do a thriving business, and some migrants appear to be coming here from other regions to seek their luck. str_town_alt_prosperity_80|The walls, streets, and homes are well-maintained. The markets are thronged with migrants from the nearby regions drawn here by the availability of both goods and work. The rhythm of hammers and looms speak to the business of the artisans' workshops. str_village_alt_prosperity_0|Only a handful of people are strong enough to work in the fields, many of which are becoming overgrown with weeds. The rest are weak and malnourished, or have already fled elsewhere. The draft animals have long since starved or were eaten, although a few carcasses still lie on the outskirts, their bones gnawed by wild beasts. str_village_alt_prosperity_20|Some farmers and animals are out in the fields, but their small numbers suggest that some villagers may be emigrating in search of food. Farm implements look rusty and broken. Brush and weeds seem to be reclaiming some of the outermost fields. str_village_alt_prosperity_40|The fields and orchards are busy, with villagers engaged in the tasks of the seasons. Humans and animals alike look relatively healthy and well-fed. However, a small number of the outermost fields are left unsewn, and some walls are in ill repair, suggesting that there are still not quite enough hands to do all the work which needs to be done. str_village_alt_prosperity_60|The fields and orchards are humming with activity, with filled sacks of grain and drying meat testifying to the productivity of the village's cropland and pastureland. str_village_alt_prosperity_80|The fields and orchards are humming with activity, with freshly dug irrigation ditches suggest that the farmers have enough spare time and energy to expand area under cultivation. Seasonal laborers appear to be flocking here to help with the work and join in the general prosperity. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_0|The palm groves are virtually abandoned, and the canals which irrigate them are clogged with silt. The handful of villagers you see look malnourished and restless. The draft animals have long since starved or were eaten, although a few carcasses still lie on the outskirts, their bones gnawed by the wild jackals of the desert. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_20|Few villagers can be seen tending to the palm groves, and in places, the desert dunes appear to be encroaching on the gardens. Many of the canals are clogged with silt, and the wells and cisterns are filled with sand. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_40|Men and women are busy tending the palm groves, climbing to the tops of trees to pollinate the fruit. Healthy animals draw the pumps and wheels that bring water to the fields. Some of the irrigation canals and cisterns, however, could use some maintenance. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_60|The palm groves and orchards are humming with activity. Farmers call to each other cheerfully from the tops of the trees, where they pollinate the date fruit. The creak of wooden pumps, the bellowing of draft animals, and the rush of flowing water speak of an irrigation system that is thriving under the villagers' attention. str_oasis_village_alt_prosperity_80|The palm groves are humming with activity, as farmers load up a bumper crop of dates for sale to the market. Men and women are hard at work digging new wells and canals, to bring additional land under irrigation. str_acres_grain|acres of grainfields str_acres_orchard|acres of orchards and vineyards str_acres_oasis|acres of irrigated oasis gardens str_looms|looms str_boats|boats str_head_cattle|head of cattle str_head_sheep|head of sheep str_mills|mills str_kilns|kilns str_pans|pans str_deposits|deposits str_hives|hives str_breweries|breweries str_presses|presses str_smithies|smithies str_caravans|overland caravans str_traps|traps str_gardens|small gardens str_tanneries|tanning vats str_master_miller|Master miller str_master_brewer|Master brewer str_master_presser|Master presser str_master_smith|Master smith str_master_tanner|Master tanner str_master_weaver|Master weaver str_master_dyer|Master dyer str_war_report_minus_4|we are about to lose the war str_war_report_minus_3|the situation looks bleak str_war_report_minus_2|things aren't going too well for us str_war_report_minus_1|we can still win the war if we rally str_war_report_0|we are evenly matched with the enemy str_war_report_plus_1|we have a fair chance of winning the war str_war_report_plus_2|things are going quite well str_war_report_plus_3|we should have no difficulty defeating them str_war_report_plus_4|we are about to win the war str_persuasion_summary_very_bad|You try your best to persuade {s50}, but none of your arguments seem to be effective. Whenever you start to make sense, you say something entirely wrong which puts you off track. By the time you finish speaking you've failed to form a single coherent point in your own favor, and you realise that all you've done was dig yourself deeper into a hole. Unsurprisingly, {s50} does not look impressed. str_persuasion_summary_bad|You try to persuade {s50}, but {reg51?she he} outmanoeuvres you from the very start. Even your best arguments sound hollow to your own ears. {s50}, obviously, has not formed a very high opinion of your words. str_persuasion_summary_average|{s50} turns out to be a skilled speaker with a keen mind, and you don't seem unable to muster an argument that {reg51?she he} cannot counter with a valid point. In the end, neither of you manage to gain any ground in your discussion. str_persuasion_summary_good|Through quick thinking and smooth debate, you state your case well, forcing {s50} to concede on several points. However, {reg51?she he} still expresses doubts about the validity of your request. str_persuasion_summary_very_good|You deliver an impassioned speech which echoes like poetry to your listeners.

Your banner will signify your status as a Noble of Pendor and bring you honor. Which banner do you want to choose? str_retirement_text_1|You grew weary of fighting Pendor's battles, and your old wounds trouble you these days. You spent too much money on troops and gear in your youth, but long since sold off your armor and weapons and are now virtually penniless. Thanks to the charity of the friendly lord of {s9} you get by, cleaning his stables and sweeping his courtyard. Your glory days are over and you no longer speak of them, though you still have your memories; little enough recompense for all those years of fighting for a lost cause. You keep those to yourself, because no one is interested in the ramblings of a half-crippled stableman who might once have been a soldier. str_retirement_text_2|You always lived for today and rarely considered tomorrow, assuming you would be killed in battle long before you were too old to fight. When your money ran out you joined the Red Brotherhood as a low-level outlaw and now run errands for those you once sold to the galleys. Sometimes you reflect bitterly on the irony of your current life. Your once-high ideals are gone, as you realize you are now robbing those whom you used to defend. You slip deeper into a life of crime and cruelty. Your life ends on the gallows for murder and you laugh as the {s9} hangman tightens the noose around your neck. str_retirement_text_3|You have come down considerably from your days as a {s13}, though you still retain the mannerisms of your former days. Your troops have deserted or died in your battles. You take to drink and drift from tavern to tavern, boring all those willing to listen with tales of your former successes, while hustling drinks from the patrons. Once in a while someone recognizes you, but your former fame is good only for a free drink from a kind man who remembers what you once were. str_retirement_text_4|You finally realize you are tired of war, and retire to the village of {s7}, which you once freed from bandits. The grateful villagers accept you as one of their own, and you make your living training the village militia and do a bit of farming. You marry a village {reg63?lass lad} and raise a flock of sturdy peasant children who never tire of your tales of the battles you fought and the enemies you vanquished. You shout angrily at your oldest son, who wants to become a soldier. You end your days a respected village Elder, content with the peace and family you found in {s7}. str_retirement_text_5|What once seemed a vast sum of denars evaporates quickly, but you have enough left of your loot to purchase a tavern in {s9}. You smile to recall that you have purchased this same inn twice, as you once paid a handsome sum to the former innkeeper for damages your men did to this very tavern. The men of the {s9} garrison patronize your tavern and enjoy hearing your tales of victorious battles against overwhelming odds though they take them with a grain of salt. Your profits grow, and you expand your premises to include a banquet and wedding hall. Your inn is famous all over Pendor, and you are now a more successful host than you ever were a {s13}. str_retirement_text_6|As you fought over the length and breadth of Pendor, as a {s13} you traded between towns and villages, and found you had a good head for business. You have battled many foes,{s15} and invested your profits with a trader in {s9}, whose caravans you once escorted. You now own several warehouses in {s9}, your caravans traverse Pendor and your ships carry heavy cargoes to and from Barclay. You marry the trader's {reg63?daughter son} and train up your children as good little merchants. Sometimes over wine, you regale your clients and partner with tales of your days as a soldier, but memories fade. The success of your merchanting dynasty will long outlast your fame as a {s13}. str_retirement_text_7|Though you came to Pendor a penniless adventurer, your battle successes have made you rich. You own the town of {s9} and prove to be a capable administrator, skilled at delegating while keeping a wary eye on your underlings. Your holdings prosper and pay a fine income because you keep taxes low to encourage investment. Your improvements have paid off and you are a popular {reg63?lord lady} in Pendor. When you must ride to battle, you feel young again as the clash of weapons stirs your blood. Still, you really prefer hunting to battle and adjudicating trade disputes to fighting wars. You are overall quite content with your lot and don't regret your retirement. str_retirement_text_8|Though once hailed as the savior prophesied by Madigan, you failed to unite all Pendor under your banner. You are revered as a great Pendorian hero because you fought off many invading armies,{s15} whose wars once tore Pendor apart. Peace pervades Pendor, and you deal with those who disturb it harshly. You are careful to stay on good terms with your vassals and your neighbor kings and are ever vigilant against future threats to Pendor. Not having a taste for administration, you kept {s8} and awarded the rest to your faithful companions and vassals. Sometimes you all get together and speak of the old days, reminiscing about your glorious deeds, but all of you agree that peace is preferable to the constant warfare of your early years in Pendor. str_retirement_text_9|Though once hailed as the savior prophesied by Madigan, you failed to unite all Pendor under one banner. You fought and defeated huge invading armies,{s15} but did not become the {reg63?king queen} of all Pendor. Your holdings are vast and you are wealthy beyond your wildest dreams. Lords who once sneered at you now curry your favor because you outrank them and still have the reputation of dealing effectively and fatally with insults. You rule your own holdings with a firm and just hand and rarely think any more of your hand-to-mouth days as a soldier. str_retirement_text_10|All Pendor lies beneath your hand and you are everywhere hailed as the savior Madigan prophesied would unite the land. You defeated all invading armies, beat back avaricious and power-hungry Lords, and humbled Pendor's so-called Kings. Your slightest wish is a command and your word is absolute law throughout the land. Luckily, you are both fair and just, and never abuse your position. You always remember your humble beginnings, though now every luxury available is yours for the asking. You reward loyalty and swiftly punish wrongdoing and the people love you for it. Still, you know how quickly a throne can be lost, and never relax your vigilance.

I'll leave you to your solitary drinking. str_npc_boadice_intro_response_2|Nice to have met you and good luck finding a captain who'll sign you on. str_npc_adonja_backstory_a|I am Adonja of the Rocktops, from the finest raiding clan in the Mystmountains, the Catsclaws. Our Clan is greatly favored by Vejovis, or so I once thought. My father is a great clan Chief who trained me well to fight and raid. str_npc_leslie_backstory_a|I am primarily a trader, and my name is Leslie. A sad turn of events has stranded me here, with barely a denar to my name and no way of returning home. str_npc_ansen_backstory_a|I have no station, and I shall tell you why! My name is Ansen, by the way, a pleasure to meet you. str_npc_riva_backstory_a|Really? Well, perhaps your ignorance can be forgiven. You don't look like a Pendorian, so I take it you are a stranger in these lands? str_npc_kassim_backstory_a|I am Kassim, son of Jamshid, grandson of Bahman, great-grandson of Ikram, a Pamiri D'Shar of the high passes. Were you of Pendor, you'd know why I am so far from home. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_a|Allow me to present myself I am Lethaldiran, once of the House of Ithilrandir, but now, alas, an exile. It may seem unusual to you to find a Noldor seeking work in a tavern, but I am unfortunately now adrift in the human world. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_a|I am Sir Jocelyn from the Order of Eventide, {reg63?Sir Madam}. The Order of the Dawn put to the stake one of our most venerable brothers, then took to burning peasants and nobility, setting villages afire and other atrocities. I came to Pendor with the Order of Eventide. I did not realize then that they are Heretics and followers of the evil goddess Erida Occisor. If my Order locates me, I will be killed gruesomely for my defection. str_npc_alistair_backstory_a|I simply stumbled upon the poor girl and quickly ascertained that she was beyond any help I could give. I am the younger son of a high Lord in Barclay, Ferenc the Noxious, come to Pendor like many other knights to make my name and fortune. I was dodging a party of those sanctimonious Twits of the Dawn, when I tripped over the girl. You don't happen to know if they're headed in this direction, do you? If so, I must depart immediately, and I'd advise you to do the same. They are deadly enemies to my Order, and will likely attack you as well - they take rather unreasonable dislikes very quickly. str_npc_rayne_backstory_a|This shield? It is my birthright, my good {reg63?sir lady}. I am Sir Rayne, the last Knight of the Falcon, sole remainder of a gallant Order outlawed ten years ago by the King of Ravenstern himself. My fellows hung up their armor, or were hunted down and slain. The one exception was my mentor, Sir Leodred. str_npc_julia_backstory_a|It's a long story, {reg63?lord madam} Captain, but if you'll get yourself a drink and one for me, too, while you're at it, I'll be glad to tell you the tale. str_npc_frederick_backstory_a|I am Hauptmann Frederick von Mettenheim, and I am a Great Swordsman of the Forlorn Hope Regiment of the Isle of Mettenheim. Mettenheim was invaded by Barclay, while we were in the grip of a great famine. I accompanied the Count of Mettenheim, my General, to Pendor to secure trade agreements for food, and perhaps make an agreement for the lease of arable land. We have much to offer in trade, since our specialty is smelting and the casting of all things metal. Unfortunately, we were first shipwrecked, then those not drowned were massacred by a large band of Snake Cultists. str_npc_ediz_backstory_a|I am Ediz, a Singalian, as you have surmised. We are a simple people and our code is equally simple We fight to the death in battle and never retreat. We do not desert our Lords unless they prove themselves unworthy by cowardly flight from battle. This was the case with the lord whom I served. I have come to Pendor to regain through battle the honor I lost with my lord, who fled like a cur and disgraced us all. str_npc_sara_backstory_a|If it is a tale you desire, then a tale I assuredly shall tell. I am called 'the Fox' because my words and allure enchant my would-be suitors, leaving them in hot pursuit of a fox they can never catch. With my pursuit of pleasure, my keen wits and my eloquent songs and poetry, I enrapture every man I encounter. When cornered, I fight; when chased, I go to ground. With my rapier I fence moonlight, on my steed, I race the dawn. str_npc_donavan_backstory_a|Very well, as you wish. I would welcome the company. My name is Donavan and I come from across your Western Sea, though we call it another name in my homeland. str_npc_diev_backstory_a|You'd not be very sociable yourself, if you'd lived my life. I am called Diev. My parents were killed by Mystmountain Raiders when I was only a babe. Members of a passing caravan heard me crying in my dead mother's arms and rescued me. The Caravan Master adopted me, as he and his wife were childless. I grew up in Rane, but I disappointed my adopted father because I had no aptitude for trade, and less taste for it. str_npc_alyssa_backstory_a|You correctly identify my acssent; I am Alyssa, a former SSerpent Cult Priestess, but the operative word iss 'former.' They tell me I wass taken in the Empire as a baby, but my only memories are of the Cult. I have forssaken the SSnake Cult and sshall never rejoin them. If you have fought my Cult, you know how sskilled at arms we Priestesses are. I am in deadly danger from my Cult, and musst join a sstrong commander - there is ssafety in numberss for me. str_npc_roland_backstory_a|I am Sir Roland, {reg63?Sir Madam}, sole Paladin of the Dawn. My Order's original mission was to eradicate injustice and lawlessness, that the Goddess Astraea might dwell upon the earth once more. My fellow Order members have forgotten their principles and I have abandoned them to escape their misguided cruelties, though I still follow the Goddess Astraea's injunctions to us. str_npc_kaverra_backstory_a|Well, {reg63?Sir Madam}, I call it a 'Man-Opener', and it lives up to its name, same's I live up to mine, 'Kaverra the Castrator.' Had it made to order by the Javiksholm weapons maker. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_a|Alright, alright, if you're buying, I'll talk while I drink. You look to be a commander yourself, so you might understand my story. My name is Sigismund and I come from Vezin, had a small farm there. Don't know why I bothered farming as long as I did. We'd raise our crops and foreign armies would burn them. We'd buy cattle and the damned Vanskerries, Mystmountains or bandits would steal them. Nobody in our village would lift a finger in defense of what was ours, except for a woman named Claire, who decided it was time to fight back. str_npc_boadice_backstory_a|I am Boadice of the Veccavii, now unfortunately forced to abandon my isle and my sisters to seek refuge in this blighted land. My elder sister assumed the throne of Veccavi, and decided to eliminate, successfully in terms of my other sisters, any competition to her rule. str_npc_adonja_backstory_b|When I was just thirteen, I formed my own raiding band, and had enormous successes. We had the best looting record of all the clans, even those led by men twice my age. I had the prettiest furs and a lot of gold jewelry to show for it, too. Unfortunately, Lord Stephan was waiting for us in one of the Fierdsvain villages on our last raid, and his warband killed all of my men. For the first time in my life, I ran away to save myself, after the last of my band was killed. str_npc_leslie_backstory_b|Several months ago, my brother and I sailed from Barclay, across the Western Sea. We came to Pendor to buy Noldor artifacts, with the idea of making a profit by trading along the way. Our caravan was attacked outside Laria by a Jatu warband. My brother and our caravan guards were no match for the ferocity of the Jatu. I was the only survivor and they took me prisoner, with overtly nefarious intentions. str_npc_ansen_backstory_b|My father, a merchant in {s20}, had me educated by our finest scholars. I spent all my time poring over books and scrolls under the tutelage of the abbot here. I didn't realize that the ultimate goal of all this education was my indoctrination into the clergy! When the abbot let that slip, I packed up what I could, left my father's house and am now in search of more manly pursuits. str_npc_riva_backstory_b|A pity. I am of a noble family which believes in equality between men and women. As per my family's ancient traditions, I intend to make a name for myself in the profession of arms. Unfortunately, the local authorities have little understanding of the warrior's code. They have unfairly libelled me 'bandit' and 'brigand,' and put a price on my head. str_npc_kassim_backstory_b|Since the days of my great-great grandfather, my people have had blood feud with the tribe of Yusafzai, who squat in the next valley over from ours. Many men have died in this feud, including two of my brothers. The Bahadur Khan himself ordered us to cease this blood feud, to save men for fighting the wars in Pendor. I, however, honor my duty to my tribe, and my brothers' blood cried out for vengeance. I waylaid and killed two Yusafzai on a track in the mountains. I then rode out of our village that same night, without even bidding farewell to my father. I will wait a year or two, then return home after the Khan's men have forgotten me. The Yusafzai will not forget, of course, as our blood feuds never end until all of the enemy are dead. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_b|The trouble began with my hobby, which is duelling - and I became quite good at it. This, of course, meant that my duelling partners found our exercises fatal rather too often for Ithilrandir. After the demise of one of his favorite nephews, he exiled me. I have frequently found employment amongst your lords as an assassin - so many of them seem to dislike one another, don't they? Unfortunately, my latest employer failed to produce the coin promised when I completed my task, and has set his men after me to eliminate his debt. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_b|The Order of Eventide has dispatched one of its most experienced and ruthless knights to discover my whereabouts, and either forcibly return me to them, or kill me in the attempt. I desperately need to join a good company, both to fight the Heretics and for protection from this knight, who is close on my heels. My funds are exhausted; I have had to sell my warsteed. I suppose my armor will be next, and then I shall have to disguise myself as a peasant. str_npc_alistair_backstory_b|As you doubtless know, the Order of the Dawn was tactfully expelled from Barclay, because of the atrocities they committed upon the populace there burning villages, and putting peasants, merchants and even the nobility to death by fire to 'cleanse' them of what those zealots deemed their 'sins.' They consider trivialities such as a peasant spitting as they pass by, Astraea's shrines not precisely facing the rising sun, or shrines improperly cleaned, to be capital offences. Not unnaturally, we nobles were annoyed by their wasteful destruction of our villages and peasantry. I must join a strong commander who also detests them, as they are far too strong for a single knight to tackle. I'm sure you'll agree that they are as much a blight on Pendor as ever they were on Barclay. str_npc_rayne_backstory_b|Sir Leodred was Master-at-Arms of the Order, charged with training all new squires. I was the last admitted to the order. My father, before he died, was an Order Knight as well and I, his sole heir, was expected to fulfill his oath to the Order. My mentor, Sir Leodred, died last winter, sword in hand, defending innocents from their would-be predators. Ever since, I have been searching for a way to revive my Order, even though we are outlawed in Ravenstern. str_npc_julia_backstory_b|I am a twin, and my brother was named Julius. My father was a sergeant in the service of a noble house in Janos. He was a strict disciplinarian, hard on his men, and harder on his family, especially Julius and me. He drilled us with sword, crossbow and spear, saying it was important that we be able to defend ourselves. After Lord Marius took the throne, my father came home less and less, explaining that his duties had increased. When he was home, he was surly and silent. Then, when Julius and I were seventeen, he began taking Julius with him on duty. Shortly thereafter, I found that the 'noble Lady' my father guarded was a Serpent Priestess. Dad and Julius were thugs who kidnapped innocent people for her purposes. When I confronted Julius about it, he tried to kill me. str_npc_frederick_backstory_b|I am the sole surviving member of our delegation to Pendor. I cannot complete our mission here by myself and have currently no way of returning to Mettenheim. Until the Count Of Mettenheim, our ruler, learns from our lack of reports that something has happened and sends another delegation, I must live by my blade. str_npc_ediz_backstory_b|Unlike the many Singalian mercenaries willing to hire their services to any man with a handful of gold, I require a captain worthy of my hire. I am no common mercenary and I will follow no leader who cannot live up to my standards. str_npc_sara_backstory_b|I am a troubadour by profession, a courtesan upon occasion and a deadly enigma at all times. I am known for my elegant verse and exquisite songs. When I grow bored, I travel onward, amusing myself with whatever diversions come my way. I confess to an affection for Pendor, so for the past several years have visited its towns and castles, earning good coin with my talents. str_npc_donavan_backstory_b|I am the second son of a Barclay noble, whom you've likely not heard of, since my land is far away. I came to seek my fortune in Pendor, training men in the art of battle. Unfortunately, the lord here in {s20} disapproves of the disciplinary methods needed to turn rabble into soldiers. I told him it was wiser to flog them now than bury them later, but he refused to listen, and advised me to take my services elsewhere. str_npc_diev_backstory_b|I spent most of my youth in the back alleys of Rane, fighting and stealing, getting beaten for it by my father when he caught me. Once I was older, I took to hunting in the Lord's preserve, sharing the game I killed with the poor in Rane. I decided there must be more to life than poaching, so I signed on to fight with the Guard. We were ambushed one day, escorting my Lord to Poinsbruk, by a group of Renegade Knights, and all the Guard were killed but me. My Lord, who ran like a rabbit from the fray, accused me of deserting the Guard during battle, because I was the only one still alive. In truth, I was knocked unconscious and woke up surrounded by my dead mates. So, he had me drummed out of the Guard in disgrace. str_npc_alyssa_backstory_b|I will add that I have few resservations about fighting memberss of my cult. After all, they will feel no compunctionss about killing me, now that I have left them. In termss of my accommodation within your troop, you should know that we of the Snake Cult are vegetarians and prefer organic food. I will eat no meat and I do not drink wine. str_npc_roland_backstory_b|I was born in a village in the Empire. When I was ten, Serpent Cultists took my parents. I was studious as a boy, and with the help of our village priest, I made my way to Barclay to enter the Order of the Dawn. The Order educated me and trained me in both tactics and weapons. Now, however, my Order has outlawed me and put a price upon my head. I had to leave my Order; I could no longer tolerate the crimes they perpetrated in Astraea's name. She came to me in a dream and told me that I was her last true Knight, and that I must guide the Order back to its true purpose. I confess, I have no clue as to how to do it, particularly since they intend to burn me. str_npc_kaverra_backstory_b|I started as 'prentice to a rope-maker, see, saved my denars, got myself a start as a peddler. I was takin' some of my old master's rope to market when I got caught by eight Vanskerry Raiders. You know what they do with women captives. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_b|Claire was fed up with the raids and decided to do something about them. We'd known one other since childhood, and when the men laughed at her plans, she came to me. I knew she was right, and together we began raising a militia to fight those thieving bastards. A few lads from our village joined up, and then we went from place to place, speechifying and gathering volunteers. Claire said Astraea was helping us, and just laughed when the men started calling her 'Saint Claire.' str_npc_boadice_backstory_b|As I am in need of gainful employment, I cannot be picky over opportunities, despite my royal lineage. I will not, however, tolerate behavior by your troop unbefitting my station. Is that clear? str_npc_adonja_backstory_c|I've had to sell off all my jewelry just to eat, and I'm tired of being poor. I need loot, Chief, and lots of it, because I can't return to my clan until I have the gold to pay indemnity for each of my men. I'll fight for you if there's a prospect of good loot in the offing. str_npc_leslie_backstory_c|Shortly thereafter, the Jatu were vanquished by an Adventuring Company and I was freed. Now, I'm stranded here, with no money and no family to help me. str_npc_ansen_backstory_c|I have no intention of being a priest, but shall learn to be a knight! No more books for me! I'm going to join a band of adventurers or a troop of mercenaries! str_npc_riva_backstory_c|I am anxious to avoid any further trouble, so if you can tell me of a company of adventurers in which I might enlist, I would be most grateful to hear of it. str_npc_kassim_backstory_c|Against the day I need no longer beware the Khan's wrath, I would welcome any opportunity to earn a living with my scimitar. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_c|I also know well the use of poisons, the garotte, the art of slitting a throat silently. If there are any little annoyances plaguing you, I could eliminate them for you easily. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_c|I am highly trained with lance and blade. I would be an asset to any troop in need of experienced knights. I stipulate only that I be permitted to challenge the Heretics we encounter whenever possible. str_npc_alistair_backstory_c|You have no more reason than I to love the Order of the Dawn. What say we join forces to combat them? I am highly skilled with blade and lance, have a fine warsteed and will fight under your command for suitable remuneration. I am also trained in tactics and siegework. I will not, however, serve under a bleeding-heart who shows mercy to those murdering bastards of the Dawn, so if you are in league with them, I withdraw my offer to join you. str_npc_rayne_backstory_c|I hope to offer my sword to some worthy captain, as that is the only honorable profession possible for a landless man of noble birth. In the interim, I dwell amongst thieves, vagabonds, merchants, and the detritus of the road. str_npc_julia_backstory_c|Our fight ended with Julius dead and me hunted by the Legionnaires for his murder. I fled Janos, hired out as a guard for a travelling merchant and earned my living as a caravan guard. As a girl, I hated the drills my father put me through, curse his hide, but now I'm grateful for them. Have you need for a skilled fighter? str_npc_frederick_backstory_c|You will find in Pendor no man equal to me in the wielding of a Great Sword, and few with more battle experience or knowledge of tactics. My sword is Mettenheim-forged and of a quality your Pendor smiths only dream of. str_npc_ediz_backstory_c|You behold in me a stalwart warrior, not a caravan-raiding mercenary, as too many of my people have become. I will fight for no Rogue Knight. str_npc_sara_backstory_c|Which reminds me, I find myself in a slightly difficult predicament, due to a misunderstanding. A rather handsome young man has become infatuated with me, and is relentless in pursuit of his desires. I must leave this town immediately, as the young man is the Lord's son. As we speak, his men are searching for his 'beloved.' I'd prefer not to be captured or forced to win my freedom with my rapier. str_npc_donavan_backstory_c|If you know of a commander who prefers to win battles, rather than mollycoddle his soldiers, I would be grateful if you'd direct me to him. str_npc_diev_backstory_c|So here I am, looking for a commander who's not some effete, noble prick, but a brave and honest warrior. I'll not fight under a noble's command again. str_npc_alyssa_backstory_c|I undersstand how my fellow SSerpent Cultists think, and can aid your sstrategies againsst them as well as assissting you in combatting them. str_npc_roland_backstory_c|My Order also has proclaimed me a thief, since I took with me my Order-provided shield and sword. Before I left the Order of the Dawn, I excelled in all aspects of my training, and was elevated to the rank of Paladin. They may have outlawed me, but they cannot strip me of the rank I gained by my achievements. I remain true to Astraea's teachings and the vows I swore to her. str_npc_kaverra_backstory_c|Couple days later, they got some ale as loot, and 'course the greedy hogs drank it all on the spot. Soon's they passed out, snoring like pigs, I tied 'em all up with my rope. Then I gelded every last one of the bastards and left them tied up to bleed to death where they lay. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_c|Our band learned how to fight through experience, and soon enough, we started winning. Our loot armed and equipped us right, and we kept things downright safe over a fair area for a couple of years. They started calling me the 'Hero of Madigan' as our fame spread. Anyway, our success along the coast caught the attention of a powerful Vanskerry Jarl, who decided to take us down. My men were mowed down like hay. My brave Claire refused to give up, and challenged the jarl to single combat. He killed my love in less than ten minutes, despite the fierce fight she put up. str_npc_boadice_backstory_c|I am highly-skilled and well-armed, and enjoy battle - as do all of my royal line. I come from generations of Veccavian soldiers. str_npc_adonja_backstory_later|I've sold everything I had but my horse and weapons. I'm in debt to the innkeeper here and he's implied I'll have to pay the bill on my back, if I don't pay in denars soon. str_npc_leslie_backstory_later|I sold my boots and have managed to make a few denars peddling goods from village to village, but it's dangerous and the profits are paltry. str_npc_ansen_backstory_later|I've hired out as a scribe and journeyman merchant to some passing caravans, and that at least keeps me fed. However, the work offers no future and life on the road is very boring. str_npc_riva_backstory_later|I went back home and did some hunting. I still plan to make a name for myself that will cause men to quake in fear when they hear it. I have yet to do that, so here I am again, looking for work. str_npc_kassim_backstory_later|I have travelled through this soft-bellied land, hoping to eat the salt of a fierce and affluent Khan. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_later|I do the odd job from time to time, but I'm tired of looking over my shoulder all the time. You never know, I might well take to soldiering under the right captain. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_later|Good day to you, {reg63?Sir Madam}. I still seek a worthy captain to follow. Will you not make a place in your company for me? str_npc_alistair_backstory_later|I came to Pendor with the Order of Eventide, to battle those sanctimonious Twits of the Dawn. We rid ourselves of them in Barclay by inflicting them upon Pendor! Have you realized yet how valuable an addition to your party I would be? str_npc_rayne_backstory_later|I've offered my sword to a few lords, but found they're shy of my affiliation. They ask me to train peasants, deliver letters, or do other work unbefitting a Knight. str_npc_julia_backstory_later|I don't know if I told you, but my father was later arrested by the Legionnaires and hung from the South Gate as a warning to all Snake Cultists. The nobles he guarded fled and haven't been seen since. I haven't returned to Janos to see if there's still a price on my head. That seems rather pointless now. str_npc_frederick_backstory_later|I still seek a captain worthy of my skills, since I have had no word from Mettenheim and no new delegation has arrived. str_npc_ediz_backstory_later|I have as yet found no aid in reclaiming my lost honor and prefer not to die fighting solo in the attempt, thank you. I still wish to join your men. str_npc_sara_backstory_later|I have drifted through Pendor, leaving behind a string of love-sick men, and some very angry women. I weary of such easy challenges, and have lately considered turning my hand to more martial pursuits. str_npc_donavan_backstory_later|I have gone from castle to court, but I have yet to find a lord to my liking. str_npc_diev_backstory_later|I've paid part of my keep here by 'hunting', but the Lord is on to me now, and I can't hunt as often. Other than that, I'm still looking for the right commander. str_npc_alyssa_backstory_later|The Sserpent Cult made yet another attempt on my life only yessterday, Captain. I musst request that you allow me to join your company, for my own ssaftely as well as your benefit. str_npc_roland_backstory_later|I continue my quest to restore justice to Pendor, in the hope that mine will be the final blow struck against injustice and thereby the means of Astraea's return. Though the Knights of Dawn have been expelled from Barclay and inflicted upon Pendor, I alone continue the true quest of the Order. str_npc_kaverra_backstory_later|There's a few more bastards missing the family jewels since I saw you last, if that's what you mean. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_later|You again, huh? Nothing's changed since I saw you last. I kill, I drink and I mourn. I hire out as a mercenary. I get paid and I drink. When the money's gone, I hire out again. str_npc_boadice_backstory_later|I do not find poverty entertaining in the least, good captain, and must again request that you allow me to join your company. str_npc_adonja_backstory_response_1|How can I know you won't try to loot from us, or desert my troop the first time we engage a pack of Mystmountain Raiders? str_npc_leslie_backstory_response_1|Well, perhaps I could offer you work. Can you fight? str_npc_ansen_backstory_response_1|Well, as a matter of fact, I run a mercenary company. str_npc_riva_backstory_response_1|I run such a company, and might be able to hire an extra blade. str_npc_kassim_backstory_response_1|I'd consider hiring you, if I can be sure you'll not desert if we have to fight the D'Shar. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_response_1|I might find you useful, if I thought I could trust you. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_response_1|If you ride with us, I can promise you a surfeit of Heretics to kill, and perhaps your pursuer will be amongst them. str_npc_alistair_backstory_response_1|It would be solely on condition that you swear to refrain from annoying any knights in my party. str_npc_rayne_backstory_response_1|Perhaps you would like to join my company for awhile, Sir Knight. str_npc_julia_backstory_response_1|If you're looking for work, I can use experienced fighters. str_npc_frederick_backstory_response_1|I suppose age and experience have a certain advantage over youth and enthusiasm. str_npc_ediz_backstory_response_1|If you really wish to regain honor, not just to die, I'll consider it. str_npc_sara_backstory_response_1|I might be able to use an extra sword in my company. str_npc_donavan_backstory_response_1|My lot could certainly use a bit of discipline and some more training. str_npc_diev_backstory_response_1|Hmm, are you quite sure you won't turn tail when my troop gets into a fight? str_npc_alyssa_backstory_response_1|If I recruit you and see even one sign of snakeish behavior, you're out! str_npc_roland_backstory_response_1|We have much in common, good Sir. Shall we combine forces and fight together to vanquish the evils overtaking Pendor? str_npc_kaverra_backstory_response_1|That's hilarious! Are you looking for work? My troop fights Vanskerries whenever we encounter them. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_response_1|My troop specializes in killing bandits, Mystmountain Raiders and Vanskerries. You could earn money and loot while avenging your Claire, if you joined my troop. str_npc_boadice_backstory_response_1|I suppose your battle skills might outweigh your royal hauteur. str_npc_adonja_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, my dear, but I cannot recruit a Mystmountain Raider. My men would be furious. str_npc_leslie_backstory_response_2|Unfortunately, your tale is not at all uncommon these days. I hope your fortunes improve in future. str_npc_ansen_backstory_response_2|Go back to your abbot, lad. Soldiering is a hard profession and not one that can be learned from reading old scrolls. str_npc_riva_backstory_response_2|No, sorry, I haven't heard of one. str_npc_kassim_backstory_response_2|So you've not only annoyed your Khan, but also have an entire D'Shar tribe after you. I've no desire to mix in D'Shar blood feuds. str_npc_lethaldiran_backstory_response_2|Sorry, my pointy-eared friend. You sound like trouble on the hoof to me. str_npc_jocelyn_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, Sir Knight, but I've already too many in my troop who fight for personal reasons. str_npc_alistair_backstory_response_2|I'm not sure I could stomach being around you for more than five minutes. str_npc_rayne_backstory_response_2|Some of my best friends are 'vagabonds,' and 'detritus of the road,' I'll have you know. Good day to you, sir. str_npc_julia_backstory_response_2|You'll end with your head in a noose, as you richly merit. How could you kill own brother?! str_npc_frederick_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, but there are too many would-be commanders in my troop already. str_npc_ediz_backstory_response_2|I don't want a suicidal tribal maniac in my troop, sorry. str_npc_sara_backstory_response_2|No, I'm sorry but I can't take you on. You'd create absolute mayhem in my troop. str_npc_donavan_backstory_response_2|I'll let you know if I hear of anything. Good day. str_npc_diev_backstory_response_2|I'm sorry, but you're not the sort I want in my troop. I must be able to count on my men. str_npc_alyssa_backstory_response_2|I don't think I could stand listening to your accent long enough to enlist you. str_npc_roland_backstory_response_2|I'm very sorry, Sir Knight, but I fear you'd prove too virtuous for my lot. str_npc_kaverra_backstory_response_2|Sorry, lass, you're a right one, but you'd scare my men half to death. str_npc_sigismund_backstory_response_2|I've no room in my troop for a drunken whinger, but I do wish you better luck in future. str_npc_boadice_backstory_response_2|I'd not enjoy having your royal self in my ranks, madam. str_npc_adonja_signup|Look, Chief, your troop's your clan, your family. You don't steal from your family and you don't desert them in a fight. That's our Catsclaw Clan code and I live by it. If I join up with you, you're my Chief and your troop's my clan. str_npc_leslie_signup|Well, I'm not a soldier by trade, but I can usually discourage the odd lowlife who's too interested in my bodice. str_npc_ansen_signup|Do you? I've been hoping to meet someone like you! I would be pleased to join you. str_npc_riva_signup|Good! I look forward to vanquishing your enemies and spreading the renown of both our names. str_npc_kassim_signup|Why, that is a most generous offer, assuming, of course, that you are as affluent as you are fierce. str_npc_lethaldiran_signup|Well, Captain, hire me, and my loyalty is yours, so long as you pay me. Beyond that, I make no promises. str_npc_jocelyn_signup|My sole desire is to purge Pendor of the heretical foulness springing up like poisonous mushrooms throughout the land. Well, and to avoid the Order of Eventide, of course. str_npc_alistair_signup|How can you continue to cavil when the prospect of having me amongst your knights is dangled before you? Don't be such a cretin. str_npc_rayne_signup|If that is a firm offer, I will accept it, my good {reg63?Sir Lady}. str_npc_julia_signup|You can? Well, that has possibilities! str_npc_frederick_signup|I am the finest swordsman in all the Forlorn Hope regiment, and you would be a fool not to enlist me! str_npc_ediz_signup|How many times must I tell you that I am not your average Singalian mercenary, damn it?! str_npc_sara_signup|Indeed? Your enlistment of me would be of mutual benefit. I will sing epic quatrains of your exploits whilst slaying your enemies with panache. str_npc_donavan_signup|I would be pleased to ride with you, at least for a little while, for pay and a share of any loot. str_npc_diev_signup|Get this, Captain, I'm no coward. I've skills with a bow you've not yet seen, I use my warhammer with lethal accuracy and I'm a strong fighter. str_npc_alyssa_signup|I sshall endeavor to resstrain what you term my 'ssnakeish behavior' if I join you, though if you arouse my ssnakeish temper, well... str_npc_roland_signup|Perhaps. But I warn you, commit injustice or fall into lawlessness and I will no longer ride with you. str_npc_kaverra_signup|I could be, long's you tell those randy louts in your troop that if they get familiar with me, they'll find themselves minus the family jewels, slit from gullet to navel, quicker'n a fisherman can gut a fish. str_npc_sigismund_signup|You could be right about that, Commander. Perhaps by joining your troop, I can find true purpose again. At least I'll have a justifiable reason for killing. str_npc_boadice_signup|I will make every attempt to show you proper respect, Captain. Please be aware that doing so will not come naturally to me, however. str_npc_adonja_signup_2|I'm the best of shots with my bow, quite good with my blade and a fine rider. I can find loot even when it appears there is none. I'd be an asset to your troop. str_npc_leslie_signup_2|I'm a fast learner. I can ride, and I know trading and prices. You won't find a more conscientious quartermaster anywhere. str_npc_ansen_signup_2|I would be a most valuable addition to your ranks. I am well-versed in the medical sciences and could serve as a medic to your troop. More importantly, I will happily learn everything you are willing to teach me. str_npc_riva_signup_2|Note however. that as one gently born, I shall not be a maid, cook or servant. I shall be your comrade-in-arms only and I expect to be treated as such. str_npc_kassim_signup_2|I shall not betray you so long as you honor a Khan's duty, by paying me amply and regularly, and allowing me the opportunity to loot. You must also refrain from dragging me into battles there's no chance of winning. Please offer me salt - it is a D'Shar custom to eat salt from the hand of our Khan, as a pledge of loyalty. str_npc_lethaldiran_signup_2|I can throw daggers, shoot accurately, am excellent with a sword, and I'm as slippery as quicksilver. You'd find me useful both in and out of a fight, I'll warrant. str_npc_jocelyn_signup_2|Lead on, {reg63?sir madam} Captain, I pledge my arms and my loyalty to you. May Astraea send us a good supply of Heretics to fight! str_npc_alistair_signup_2|It is high time you came to your senses. I do trust your stupidity is not as evident when it comes to command in battle. str_npc_rayne_signup_2|I am a Knight, and prefer only to consort with those of my rank. It will not shame me to serve with an experienced captain, regardless of birth, assuming your followers are not overly familiar with me. I trust that will not be a problem? str_npc_julia_signup_2|You won't regret taking me on, Captain, I'm deadly with a crossbow. I can hit a snake or a noble's black heart at a hundred paces. Please let me make one thing clear - I take my orders from you, and you alone, not whatever noble you may hire out to. str_npc_frederick_signup_2|I followed orders for many years before I gave them, Captain, and will do likewise with your orders to me. str_npc_ediz_signup_2|So long as you do not run from battle or display cowardly behavior, I shall fight for you faithfully. str_npc_sara_signup_2|I may appear slight of frame, but my blade is as deadly as my tongue! I am an expert equestrienne, and have some additional skills that you may find... interesting. str_npc_donavan_signup_2|I am a skilled swordsman, and I can also train and drill your men. I warn you in advance, however, that I will not serve under a leader who is lax in disciplinary matters, for no true soldier respects a soft hand. str_npc_diev_signup_2|My Sergeant said I was the best bowman in the Guard, and I'd make Sergeant myself some day, if I kept increasing my fighting skills. Give me a chance, and I'll prove my bravery to you. str_npc_alyssa_signup_2|Ssurely you can ssee the benefit to having one of my ssort in your company? str_npc_roland_signup_2|I'll concede that, together, we might accomplish more in the name of justice, than I may as a solitary Paladin, particularly now that I have left my Order. str_npc_kaverra_signup_2|Point me at a Vanskerry Raider, Captain, and I'll give you a castrated corpse! str_npc_sigismund_signup_2|I, Commander Sigismund Sinclair, pledge myself to fight at your side against any enemies you care to challenge. str_npc_boadice_signup_2|I was a soldier before I was a queen, captain, and you will not find in me one who cannot follow an order. Assuming, of course, that it is a reasonable order. str_npc_adonja_signup_response_1|Very well, I've reservations, but I'll give you a chance. Prove me wrong and you're out of my troop instantly. str_npc_leslie_signup_response_1|Well, that's a start. I doubt your armor-covered bodice will provoke much interest. str_npc_ansen_signup_response_1|Good. We'll teach you to fight, never fear. Pack your gear and meet me at the front gate. str_npc_riva_signup_response_1|Very well. I'm honored that you deign to join us, um, 'my Lady.' str_npc_kassim_signup_response_1|Certainly. Please eat of my salt. str_npc_lethaldiran_signup_response_1|It sounds like you can do an interesting variety of jobs. I will hire you. str_npc_jocelyn_signup_response_1|You'll make a fine addition to my troop. With us, you'll find both protection and revenge. str_npc_alistair_signup_response_1|Very well, you may join us. See to it that you behave yourself. str_npc_rayne_signup_response_1|You will be the equal of every member of my troop, or leave us. I don't like snobs. str_npc_julia_signup_response_1|Very good. Glad to have you with us str_npc_frederick_signup_response_1|All right, all right, Forlorn Fred, you may join us. str_npc_ediz_signup_response_1|I might find a 'tribal maniac' to be a distinct asset in my mercenary company. str_npc_sara_signup_response_1|Good. Please remember my men are hired for fighting, not flirting! str_npc_donavan_signup_response_1|Good. I'm pleased to hire someone like you. str_npc_diev_signup_response_1|All right, you have your chance. I warn you though, falter even slightly in battle, and you're sacked. str_npc_alyssa_signup_response_1|This is against my better judgement, but all right, I'll take you on. str_npc_roland_signup_response_1|We are in agreement, then. My hand and word on it, Sir. Do try not to judge my men too harshly. str_npc_kaverra_signup_response_1|You're hired. I'll make absolutely sure the men understand that! str_npc_sigismund_signup_response_1|I accept you into my troop. Go put your head under the pump. If I catch you drunk on duty, you're out. str_npc_boadice_signup_response_1|Welcome to my company, 'Your Majesty.' str_npc_adonja_signup_response_2|I'm very sorry, my dear, but you're too risky a proposition for me. str_npc_leslie_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, but I'm looking for fighting experience, not trading skills. Good day to you. str_npc_ansen_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, but I'm looking for accomplishments somewhat different from yours. str_npc_riva_signup_response_2|Actually, I'm not in the habit of hiring bandits with invented pedigrees. Good day, madam. str_npc_kassim_signup_response_2|On second thought, I don't want D'Shar in my troop. Sorry. str_npc_lethaldiran_signup_response_2|My men will never trust a Noldor. Sorry, but no. str_npc_jocelyn_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, Sir, but I can't afford to pay more knights just now. str_npc_alistair_signup_response_2|I will hire your smarmy, blackhearted self the day that Hell freezes over. str_npc_rayne_signup_response_2|Your assumption is off the mark, Sir. In my company, noble birth counts for nothing. We respect courage and skill. str_npc_julia_signup_response_2|On second thought, I value those of noble blood in my company too highly to risk hiring you. Good day. str_npc_frederick_signup_response_2|Sorry, but I can't afford your services at present. str_npc_ediz_signup_response_2|I cannot collect every tribal stray in Pendor, so I must refuse. str_npc_sara_signup_response_2|On second thought, I think you are far too dangerous to have in my company. str_npc_donavan_signup_response_2|I don't want to provoke a mutiny in my ranks, so I must decline. Good day, sir. str_npc_diev_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, but you just won't fit into my troop. Good luck in finding a good commander. str_npc_alyssa_signup_response_2|Frankly, I'd rather kill you where you stand than hire you. str_npc_roland_signup_response_2|I'm sorry, but my company is not sufficiently virtuous for a knight like you. str_npc_kaverra_signup_response_2|Sorry, I can't risk losing even one man, and at least one of them is sure to offend you. str_npc_sigismund_signup_response_2|There's no place in my troop for a drunk. Sorry. str_npc_boadice_signup_response_2|Sorry, 'Your Highness,' the answer's no. str_npc_adonja_payment|Er, Chief, there's the problem of my bill here at the inn. Could you spare {reg3} to settle it? str_npc_leslie_payment|. str_npc_ansen_payment|. str_npc_riva_payment|Excellent. Before we depart, would you kindly lend me {reg3} denars? I had to pawn a family heirloom here, and I would like to retrieve it before we leave. str_npc_kassim_payment|Thank you. Now, to seal our alliance, I ask for {reg3} denars. It's advice my father gave me - 'Never fight for a non-tribesman unless {reg63?he she} pays your worth in gold up front'. str_npc_lethaldiran_payment|Well, then, all I need is a payment of {reg3} denars, and you have your very own Noldor assassin! str_npc_jocelyn_payment|Captain, I must request the sum of {reg3} before I can join you, as I need to repurchase my horse from the market here. He's a fine steed, and I'd very much like to buy him back. str_npc_alistair_payment|I do require a paltry {reg3} denars, of course, before I join you. If you cannot afford my services, I quite understand. str_npc_rayne_payment|That's very good of you. Before I join, could you lend me {reg3} denars to pay the innkeeper, who has boarded me on credit these last few months? str_npc_julia_payment|That's good news, but I'll ask for one last thing, Captain. I have to pay some debts here in {s20}, and I always pay what I owe. Can you spare {reg3} denars? str_npc_frederick_payment|Mijn Commandant, I request the sum of {reg3} denars as an enlistment bonus. I am highly qualified and well worth that sum. str_npc_ediz_payment|Honored Captain, I have debts to pay and must request the sum of {reg3} denars before I join your followers. str_npc_sara_payment|Before I formally join you, there is the small matter of the expenses I've incurred while staying here -- {reg3} denars. Could you cover my bill for me, as a gesture of friendship? str_npc_donavan_payment|Ah, one last thing. I require an initial bounty of {reg3} denars before I join your command. I never enter someone's service without receiving an advance payment. str_npc_diev_payment|So, Commander, will you pay my bill here? What with my hunting, it's only {reg3} denars. str_npc_alyssa_payment|{playername}, I musst inssisst that you pay me {reg3} denarss for an enlisstment bonuss, ass I musst pay ssome debtss before I depart with your troop. str_npc_roland_payment|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I must ask for a signing payment of {reg3} before I can join you. I wish to send payment to my Order for my horse and equipment, that they may no longer accuse me of theft. str_npc_kaverra_payment|Captain, would you advance me {reg3} against my pay? I want to pay my old master for his goods, since I never got them to market, and he can't afford the loss. str_npc_sigismund_payment|Commander, can you pay me a signing bounty of {reg3}? I've run up a bit of a reckoning in the tavern here. str_npc_boadice_payment|I must request that you pay me the sum of {reg3} denars, as I require some gold immediately. str_npc_adonja_payment_response|Here's {reg3} denars. And call me 'Captain,' dammit, not 'Chief' - I'm not some bloody Raider Chieftain! str_npc_leslie_payment_response|. str_npc_ansen_payment_response|. str_npc_riva_payment_response|Certainly. Here's {reg3} denars. str_npc_kassim_payment_response|Well... here's {reg3} denars, then. Your first payment. str_npc_lethaldiran_payment_response|Very well, here is {reg3} denars and you'd better be worth it! str_npc_jocelyn_payment_response|Certainly, Sir Knight. I feel the same way about my own horse. Here's {reg3} denars. str_npc_alistair_payment_response|Damn, you value yourself highly! All right, I agree to {reg3} denars. str_npc_rayne_payment_response|Very well, here's {reg3} denars. str_npc_julia_payment_response|Of course. Here, {reg3} denars. str_npc_frederick_payment_response|All right, but you'd best be every bit as fine a soldier as you say! str_npc_ediz_payment_response|All right, here is {reg3} denars. str_npc_sara_payment_response|Of course, here's {reg3} denars. Make ready to leave soon. str_npc_donavan_payment_response|All right, here's {reg3} denars. You are most welcome to the company. str_npc_diev_payment_response|Very well, I'll pay it, but you'd best prove worth the investment. str_npc_alyssa_payment_response|Very well, here are {reg3} denars as your enlistment price. str_npc_roland_payment_response|Whew! Well, I suppose a Paladin does not come cheaply. Here is {reg3} for your Order. str_npc_kaverra_payment_response|Certainly. Here's an advance of {reg3}. str_npc_sigismund_payment_response|Please tell me that isn't just your bar bill! I'll pay {reg3} to the innkeeper. str_npc_boadice_payment_response|I suppose hiring a queen for that price is fair enough. Your {reg3} denars. str_npc_adonja_morality_speech|Chief, er, Captain, when we {s21}, that isn't good for the clan, er, troop morale and I don't like it. str_npc_leslie_morality_speech|I hope you don't mind my saying so, {reg63?Sir Madam}, but I hate it when we {s21}. Maybe I ought to be harder, but if we could show a little mercy from time to time, I'd sleep better. I do not want us to be like the Jatu, who revel in killing. str_npc_ansen_morality_speech|Perhaps I am out of line to say this, my {reg63?Lord Lady}, but I confess I'm shocked that we {s21}. I realize that war is cruel, but we need not make it even more vicious. str_npc_riva_morality_speech|Your pardon, {reg63?Sir Madam}, for your information, those of my house do not {s21}. I will not be pleased if you follow a similar course in future. str_npc_kassim_morality_speech|Please listen to me, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}. It is not good to {s21}. Your first duty is to the men who have taken your salt. The least they can expect is food, pay, the opportunity to loot, and that you not waste their lives needlessly. str_npc_lethaldiran_morality_speech|Captain, we Noldor do not {s21}. I suggest more cunning and less blundering about the battlefield next time... str_npc_jocelyn_morality_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, what the devil are you up to? How did you manage to {s21}? str_npc_alistair_morality_speech|Well, I'm surprised you'd {s21}! Not to mention the fact that the entire troop's honor is sullied by your actions. str_npc_rayne_morality_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Lady}, I cannot condone the way we {s21}. Knights of my Order cheerfully accept death, but never dishonor. Please do not make me ashamed that I serve under you. str_npc_julia_morality_speech|Begging your pardon, {reg63?Lord Madam} Captain. I can't say that I'm happy to see us {s21}. Those are just simple people, trying to make a living. If we could go easier on the poor wretches, Captain, I'd feel much better. str_npc_frederick_morality_speech|Mijn Commandant, I must protest such unmilitary behavior as when we {s21}! I am not pleased with your actions. str_npc_ediz_morality_speech|I will not again tolerate such cowardly behavior - to {s21} is an anathema to my people! str_npc_sara_morality_speech|My Captain, if we can avoid it, I'd prefer not to {s21}. Pendor is a small place, and my reputation is precious to me. I would be mortified if one of my rivals turned this unfortunate incident into a satirical song. str_npc_donavan_morality_speech|I will not again {s21}. No one with a reputation for such behavior can be properly feared or respected by his men. str_npc_diev_morality_speech|Dammit, Commander, I may have been a poacher, but I never in my life would {s21}. str_npc_alyssa_morality_speech|Whyever did you {s21}? Your behavior is dissgraceful! I am embarrassed to be part of this troop. str_npc_roland_morality_speech|Excuse me, my good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain. I joined forces with you to fight lawlessness and injustice, not to {s21}! I refuse to take part in such an action again. str_npc_kaverra_morality_speech|Captain! I don't care to {s21} and you need to know that right now! It ain't like you to do something like that and I hope you'll never do that again! str_npc_sigismund_morality_speech|Commander, what in hell are you thinking of, ordering our troop to {s21}? That is absolutely disgraceful! str_npc_boadice_morality_speech|You managed to {s21}, Captain and I am most disappointed in you. str_npc_adonja_2ary_morality_speech|Look here, Chief, er, Captain, I'm ashamed that we should {s21}. Such an action reflects badly on the troop. str_npc_leslie_2ary_morality_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, I'm not altogether happy that we should {s21}. I'm a merchant, and our words are our bonds. I don't want a reputation for dishonesty -- that is fatal to a trader. str_npc_ansen_2ary_morality_speech|My {reg63?Lord Lady}, I think your decisions that led us to {s21} disgraceful. Such actions do not sit well with me. str_npc_riva_2ary_morality_speech|Your pardon, I don't approve that you {s21}, despite whatever necessity led you to it. str_npc_kassim_2ary_morality_speech|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi} when you order us to {s21}, it touches upon my honor as a D'Shar. I am displeased. str_npc_lethaldiran_2ary_morality_speech|Captain, just so you know, I don't mind that we {s21}. They'd likely do the same to us given half a chance. str_npc_jocelyn_2ary_morality_speech|I am a Knight, not a coward, as some in your troop most certainly are, and based on the fact that you {s21}, you are not far from one yourself! str_npc_alistair_2ary_morality_speech|Have you lost your remaining feeble wits, to {s21} like that? Really, you astonish me at times. str_npc_rayne_2ary_morality_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Lady}, I am dismayed that you {s21}. A {reg63?gentleman lady} should adhere to the highest standards at all times. str_npc_julia_2ary_morality_speech|{reg63?Lord Madam} Captain, I dislike the fact you managed to {s21}. If you treat your men well, they'll repay you with interest. str_npc_frederick_2ary_morality_speech|You {s21} when a little perseverance and some better tactics might have won the day. I am disgusted. str_npc_ediz_2ary_morality_speech|My captain, to {s21} is worse than killing from the shadows! I came to Pendor to regain my honor, not to sully it! str_npc_sara_2ary_morality_speech|O Valorous one, you disappoint me when you {s21}! I would be ashamed to write a ballad about that sort of action! str_npc_donavan_2ary_morality_speech|I hardly expected that you would {s21}, Commander, and I can't say I'm pleased with what you did. str_npc_diev_2ary_morality_speech|So, you decided that to {s21} was your best course of action? I can't say I agree with you. str_npc_alyssa_2ary_morality_speech|In the Sserpent Cult, one who chooses to {s21} would be conssidered unworthy even as a ssacrifice to Azi Dahaka. str_npc_roland_2ary_morality_speech|That you would {s21} saddens me deeply. I thought better of you. str_npc_kaverra_2ary_moralilty_speech|I know I wasn't raised no lady, but I know right from wrong, same's any hoity-toity noble, maybe better. I wouldn't {s21} and you shouldn't either. str_npc_sigismund_2ary_morality_speech|No decent commander would {s21}! You've disappointed me badly this time. str_npc_boadice_2ary_morality_speech|A Veccavian commander would fall on her sword before committing such an act - she'll never {s21}. You are a disgrace to the name of Captain! str_npc_adonja_personalityclash_speech|Chief, er, Captain, I don't appreciate that {s11} constantly refers to me as 'that Raider wench' and makes a show of checking his purse when I'm around. str_npc_leslie_personalityclash_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, {s11} is a sadistic little pervert who probably tortures puppies and pulls the wings off flies in his spare time. I wish you'd just get rid of him. str_npc_ansen_personalityclash_speech|Captain, {s11} is both patronizing and downright rude to me, and I must protest the fact that she calls me 'young Ansen' and 'silly boy.' str_npc_riva_personalityclash_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, my lineage is above reproach, my house is one of the most ancient and respected in Pendor. Yet {s11} openly shows me disrespect, and casts doubt on my background. str_npc_kassim_personalityclash_speech|A moment of your time, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, if you please. {s11} calls me a common bandit, because I have occasionally raided the odd caravan passing through my family's lands. She said she wished I'd tried to raid her caravan, because then she could have gelded me. This is an offense to my honor as a D'Shar. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalityclash_speech|Oi, Captain, do you really want that insane tribal savage, {s11}, in this troop? Even for a human, he seems unusually crazy. It appears he just wants to get killed anyhow, and I've no mind to join him in his suicide! str_npc_jocelyn_personalityclash_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, had I known you intended to enlarge your ranks via the recruitment of poachers and guttersnipes, I'm not sure I'd have joined you. {s11} will no doubt end pilfering all our baggage and disappearing. str_npc_alistair_personalityclash_speech|Really, Captain, confess, don't you find {s11} to be a crashing bore on the subject of Astraea? I am also quite tired of his moans about the decline in virtue of his order and the iniquities of mine. He is utterly misguided, as well as a bore, you know. str_npc_rayne_personalityclash_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, {s11} is a silly old geezer who fancies himself yet a soldier. He persists in offering me unwanted and unnecessary advice on fighting techniques, and I must request that you order him to refrain from doing so! str_npc_julia_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. I hate to trouble you with complaints, but I must tell you that I can't abide {s11}, that bandit whore who pretends to be of noble blood. str_npc_frederick_personalityclash_speech|Mijn Commandant, if {s11} makes one more impolite remark to me about my age or fighting abilities, I intend to decapitate him. He will then find out first-hand that I have yet the strength to wield a Great Sword. I apologize in advance if this causes you inconvenience. str_npc_ediz_personalityclash_speech|Why would you enlist an assassin like {s11}, let alone a Noldor?! No wonder he was exiled by his people. What true warrior would stoop to skulking in shadows to kill an unsuspecting victim from behind? Not one with whom I care to associate, I can tell you! str_npc_sara_personalityclash_speech|Captain, I cannot comprehend why you enlisted {s11}, that fugitive - if she is actually a fugitive and not a spy - from the Snake Cult. We don't want or need that sort of villainy in this troop. She is also utterly creepy! str_npc_donavan_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, captain. During our last fracas, I told {s11}, that utterly incompetent merchant, to hold the line and not go haring off after a foe on her own. Her response to me was that I should insert my orders into an unmentionable location! I will not tolerate such disobedience again! str_npc_diev_personalityclash_speech|Excuse me, Captain, but {s11} is an arrogant prick, and I don't care for his manner to me. He just informed me that he does not care to associate with one who would be better employed poaching deer than wielding a weapon in battle. I hope you don't mind that I told him what he could do. str_npc_alyssa_personalityclash_speech|Captain, if {s11} were as tireless in purssuit of enemies as sshe iss of bed partners, every one of your foes in Pendor would lie dead! You musst speak to her and demand that she cease these ssluttish habitss! str_npc_roland_personalityclash_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I must protest the inclusion of {s11} in our party. He masks his little comments as jokes, but those jokes sow distrust and dissension amongst the ranks. str_npc_kaverra_personalityclash_speech|Captain, that {s11} is a D'Shar piece of horse dung, and he's got no manners, neither. He said my Man Opener was just a woman's toy and I should be in a tent as a concubine, not out fighting men's battles! str_npc_sigismund_personalityclash_speech|Commander, {s11} is an arrogant wench who thinks a few sorties with a pack of Raiders made her a soldier. When she was piddling in her diapers, I was killing Mystmountain Raiders, and I'm only sorry I didn't run into her father before he sired her! str_npc_boadice_personalityclash_speech|Captain, it is one thing to be forced to associate with mixed ranks and quite another to be on equal terms with a merchant's son who fancies himself a healer! No one of my rank permits a male to attend her wounds and I'd appreciate your informing the little twerp of this! str_npc_adonja_personalityclash_speech_b|When he's not saying rude things about me, all he does is whine about his lost love and get slobbering, knee walking drunk. If that woman Claire was still alive, she'd likely have murdered him by now, as I may well do myself. str_npc_leslie_personalityclash_speech_b|Where does he get the right to issue orders during battle? You're the captain of this troop. He also threatened to whip me and was practically drooling at the prospect! str_npc_ansen_personalityclash_speech_b|I am aware that she claims to be queen of an island where women dominate. It is a pity courtesy was no part of her royal upbringing. If I do not tend her wounds, who will? str_npc_riva_personalityclash_speech_b|{reg63?Sir Madam}, its a sorry day indeed, when common folk feel free to mock their betters. That is all. str_npc_kassim_personalityclash_speech_b|With your permission, I shall deal with {s11} as we deal with impertinent women in my tribe. After giving her a good beating, I will cut out her tongue. You may then cast her out from this company in disgrace. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalityclash_speech_b|I thought you humans had at least some sense of humor! Every time I tell a funny story, he looks at me like I was some sort of criminal and mutters about dishonor. What the hell's his problem, anyhow and why does he have to be such a sarcastic bastard? str_npc_jocelyn_personalityclash_speech_b|I have warned him to avoid my company assiduously, if he values his continued good health, and must request that you convey to him that I mean it! If I catch him poking about in my baggage, he's a dead man. str_npc_alistair_personalityclash_speech_b|Aside from putting me and half the troop to sleep with his stultifying proselytizing about Astraea, and his endless pursuit of virtue, he persists in vilifying my Order quite unjustly, and it makes others in this company distrust me. str_npc_rayne_personalityclash_speech_b|He'd do better to switch to a Bastard sword - age is robbing him of the strength to wield a Great Sword, in my opinion. He is also a braggart and I find his tales of Mettenheim's glory abominably repetitive. str_npc_julia_personalityclash_speech_b|She's nothing but a brigand, as far as I can tell. Genuine blue-bloods are bad enough, they lie, cheat and steal. Bandits pretending to be blue-bloods are even more intolerable. I might have said something a bit sharp to her a minute ago. She seemed offended, anyway. str_npc_frederick_personalityclash_speech_b|That young upstart fancies himself an experienced knight, but his brashness will get him killed long before he is old enough, if he could even qualify with his current skills, for a regiment such as the Forlorn Hope. str_npc_ediz_personalityclash_speech_b|That shifty Noldor even takes gold for his dishonorable murders. I find this completely contemptible and would like your permission to challenge him, just to see if he can fight like a man, instead of a viper lurking under a rock. str_npc_sara_personalityclash_speech_b|How you can tolerate her hissing is beyond my understanding. Why don't we just cut off her head like any snake's and be done? It would still keep her forked tongue, at least. str_npc_donavan_personalityclash_speech_b|Her back will stripe as prettily as any soldier's, Captain, and if she suggests again that I torture puppies for fun, she'll rue the day she opened her insolent mouth. str_npc_diev_personalityclash_speech_b|He's just the sort of high-nosed noble prick I despise, giving himself airs because of his blood, not his actions. I was only accused of desertion - - he admits to it! str_npc_alyssa_personalityclash_speech_b|Her behavior leadss otherss in thiss troop to think that all females in your company are like her, and I for one, dislike ssuch comparisonss. str_npc_roland_personalityclash_speech_b|He's a slimey little bastard and the living - at least for the moment - representation of all I despise about his heretic Order. He drops his snide, barbed little remarks into all conversations. He is undermining our company's morale, and you should sack him immediately before his poison spreads. str_npc_kaverra_personalityclash_speech_b|He says that again, I'll fix him with my 'woman's toy' and we'll see what his tribe thinks of a warrior who sings soprano. str_npc_sigismund_personalityclash_spech_b|You mark my words, she'll be off one night, with everything of ours not nailed down, running straight back to her mountains, to share her spoils with her thieving clan. str_npc_boadice_personalityclash_speech_b|He may be skilled, as such skills are rated amongst Pendorians, but his skills mean nothing to me. He is not female and he may not attend me. str_npc_adonja_personalityclash2_speech|Chief, er, Captain, I know {s11} was orphaned in a raid, but it wasn't me leading it and he acts as if was. They've killed as many of my clansfolk in Ravenstern as ever we killed raiding there, and I wish you'd tell him he'd better quit mouthing off to me about the fact that I hail from the Mystmountains like it was something bad. str_npc_leslie_personalityclash2_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, {s11} talks just like a Jatu and he has no respect for women. When he learned what happened to my brother and me, he looked me up and down, and said I'd make a passable third or fourth wife to some tribesman, so long as my face was covered. str_npc_ansen_personalityclash2_speech|My {reg63?Lord Lady}, that hopeless Mettenwiener, {s11}, grows annoying. All he does is tell me I will never make a knight, because I didn't start training at a young enough age. I told him if he thought I needed more training, I'd gladly learn from him, and he just laughed and told me to run along and read another book. str_npc_riva_personalityclash2_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}. I happened to exchange a few words with {s11} as we were dividing up the spoils of battle. Please inform him that, when he addresses me, he may not call me 'wench', 'human female' or 'dagger-bait.' He should address me as 'Lady Riva' or 'Riva Blackwolf.' str_npc_kassim_personalityclash2_speech|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, {s11}, the peddler, is useless to this company. When next we encounter Ramun, you should sell her off as a slave, as she is fit only for concubinage. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, {s11} is an insufferable prima donna about the way I address her and also my profession. I ask you, what's wrong with providing a valuable service for a price? There's plenty in Pendor want killing, that I can tell you, starting with her! How does a bandit slut qualify to criticize a Noldor, I ask you? str_npc_jocelyn_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, you may find those snarky comments {s11} bestows upon all and sundry amusing, but I emphatically do not! Have you forgotten that he was sent to kill me? I cannot turn my back or get a moment's rest in camp while he remains in this troop! str_npc_alistair_personalityclash2_speech|Has {s11} come whinging to you about my little jokes? He greatly overstates the seriousness of my Order's and my personal business with him. We wish merely for him to return to the fold, not to harm him in any way. He is very silly to spout his imaginary fears so readily - they are doubtless caused by guilt over his defection from the Order of Eventide. str_npc_rayne_personalityclash2_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Lady}, I trust you will not object to my telling you that self-proclaimed Queen of the May, {s11}, needs to learn a bit of respect for the male sex and for knights in particular. Her discourtesy to me passes all bounds! str_npc_julia_personalityclash2_speech|{reg63?Lord Madam} Captain, is there a reason you keep {s11} in this troop? Surely this company has no need of a bard whose most notable performances are on her back. str_npc_frederick_personalityclash2_speech|Mein Kapitan, you do no service to {s11} by encouraging him to try and become a knight. He will never succeed. You should tell him to concentrate on his books and leave sword work to those who know which end of one to use! str_npc_ediz_personalityclash2_speech|Amongst our people, a woman like {s11} would be ostracized, and never permitted to serve honorably in a company such as this. She should be sacked from this company for her impudence. str_npc_sara_personalityclash2_speech|Hello, captain! {s11} is an awfully prudish sort, isn't she? I asked her if the Legionnaires' reputation for being absolute studs was justified, and she glared at me and said I was in a better position to know something like that than she was. str_npc_donavan_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, {s11} is incorrigibly undisciplined. During our last skirmish, I called out to him that he should flank the fellow to the right of me. He informed me that he'd split my skull if I tried to give him another order and followed up this remark with an obscene gesture! str_npc_diev_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, that Mystmountain Raider of yours, {s11}, is a right pain, and also a danger to this troop. Just you wait, the first time we have to fight any Mystmountain brigands, she'll cut and run straight to their side. You can't trust 'em, I tell you, they're all thieves and murderers. str_npc_alyssa_personalityclash2_speech|That cretin-in-sshining-armor, {s11}, had the audacity to tell me to my face that he loathes me, my accent and all I repressent. I have a little bit of sserpent venom left and would greatly enjoy putting it into his ale! str_npc_roland_personalityclash2_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, that pet snake of yours, {s11}, needs its head cut off! She is an invidious influence and all the troop dislike her. We are in the business of killing Snakes, not nurturing them in our bosoms! str_npc_kaverra_personalityclash2_speech|Captain, that moronic Singalian, {s11}, is an obnoxious bastard. I think you should tell him that he's the only one who cares what he thinks a woman should be doing! str_npc_sigismund_personalityclash2_speech|Commander, that fellow {s11} is about to get his skull split right down the middle, if he keeps giving me orders during battle. He doesn't know squat about command, anyhow, and I take my orders only from you! str_npc_boadice_personalityclash2_speech|I understand that you must recruit knights where and when you find them, but surely you could dispense with the services of {s11}! He is priggish, insolent to me, and a complete moron! str_npc_adonja_personalityclash2_speech_b|He also gave me some claptrap about treating the dead and wounded decently, with respect. Well, I told him, 'They're all quite decently dead now, and I'm looting them respectfully, so bugger off, Poacher, or I'll slit your throat next.' str_npc_leslie_personalityclash2_speech_b|He threatened to sell me to one of his heathen tribals, the next time we are in D'Shar territory. Please, Captain, don't keep him in this company! str_npc_ansen_personalityclash2_speech_b|My {reg63?lord lady}, he disparages my fighting skills and constantly taunts me that I shall never achieve knighthood. I beg you to tell him to desist, or I shall be forced to demonstrate to him what I know of bladework! str_npc_riva_personalityclash2_speech_b|I am of noble blood, and he is Noldor scum, rejected even by his own house. Please order him to accord me the respect due me from one of his lowly station. str_npc_kassim_personalityclash2_speech_b|{s11} has the heart of a mouse, and fewer fighting skills than a dung beetle. Though her merits are few, she is at least a woman, so perhaps a tribesman too poor to buy a proper wife might give a lame horse in trade for her. You should look into this, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, the next time we cross D'Shar lands. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalityclash2_speech_b|Why does a perfectly competent bandit wench prefer to be called a lady? Some of these human habits are quite bewildering. Surely she should be proud of her true profession. str_npc_jocelyn_personalityclash2_speech_b|He resembles a cross between Screwtape and Uriah Heep! His smarmy innuendos will bring about his death, and not in battle, mind you. If you won't make him close his evil mouth, I will! str_npc_alistair_personalityclash2_speech_b|So sad, that a Knight of Eventide should be reduced to a timorous crybaby with no sense of humor, isn't it? I do believe you've been a bad influence on him. str_npc_rayne_personalityclash2_speech_b|I admit that {s11} is brave in battle, but courage is not the only attribute of a true queen. I must also confess that hearing of her treatment of men on Veccavi makes me cringe, and she exploits this regularly when she addresses me! str_npc_julia_personalityclash2_speech_b|In the Empire, women are valued for their honor and virtue and she implied that I had none! She actually implied that I might know something about the bed skills of the Legionnaires. str_npc_frederick_personalityclash2_speech_b|If I had any hope that he was capable of learning how to use his blade, I'd offer to mentor him, but he is best left where he is as a medic and bookworm. str_npc_ediz_personalityclash2_speech_b|A woman who knows not her place is dangerous and bad luck, Captain. I also do not care for the way she looks at me and caresses that ridiculous weapon of hers. str_npc_sara_personalityclash2_speech_b|She is not so ugly that I assumed she was without experience, but I suppose I was mistaken. The Legionnaires are likely more discriminating in their tastes than to traffic with her sort, though perhaps she was better-looking when she was younger. str_npc_donavan_personalityclash2_speech_b|Commander, this sort of undisciplined behavior gets soldiers killed. It puts not only him, but all those around him in danger. Defiance of authority is a corrosive influence in any company, but especially in one like this, with so many divergent backgrounds. I shall flog him, despite his threats, if he ignores me again. str_npc_diev_personalityclash2_speech_b|We don't need a Mystmountain Raider in this troop any more than a boar hog needs teats. Have you seen the way she slices into dead enemies? Disgusting! I spoke to her about it, and she threatened to slit my throat, barbarian that she is. str_npc_alyssa_personalityclash2_speech_b|I promisse only to poisson him a little, jusst enough to teach him a lesson. Oh, pleasse, it would not harm him to sspend an evening examining the contents of his sstomach! str_npc_roland_personalityclash2_speech_b|It makes me physically ill to hear her speak in that hissing manner she affects. I can scarce restrain my constant urge to kill her! I do so only because of my respect for you, but even that respect has limits. str_npc_kaverra_personalityclash2_speech_b|He told me he don't care to associate with peasants who would never be allowed to call themselves warrior women in his clan. He says the Singalians divide women up early into servant, wife and warrior classes, and they are never allowed to change. str_npc_sigismund_personalityclash2_speech_b|Next time he mentions flogging in my presence, he'll get to know what a flogging can do, all right. I'll stripe him like a zebra with his own damned whip, then put his whip where the sun don't shine! str_npc_boadice_personalityclash2_speech_b|When the gods created cretins for comic relief on earth, he must have been their prototype! Were he not so obnoxious, he would be amusing. Unfortunately, his obnoxiousness outweighs his amusement value. He needs gelding to quiet him down. str_npc_adonja_personalitymatch_speech|Chief, er, Captain, I'd have {s11} with me on a raid any day of the week, despite his bookishness. His shyness is rather appealing, too. I think he might have a crush on me. str_npc_leslie_personalitymatch_speech|Do you know, {reg63?Sir Madam}, {s11} is an interesting man. We've had the odd chat and the more I know of him, the better I like him. He truly cares about those less fortunate than he is. str_npc_ansen_personalitymatch_speech|My {reg63?Lord Lady}, {s11} is as gallant in battle as she is beautiful. Do you think she'd ever look at a man like me? I try to engage her in conversation, but I always get the impression she is laughing at me. str_npc_riva_personalitymatch_speech|Excuse me, {reg63?Sir Madam}, I'd like to say a word in praise of {s11}. For all he's a D'Shar, he did well in that last battle. str_npc_kassim_personalitymatch_speech|That was a fine battle, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}. {s11} is a spirited warrior and most enjoyable to fight alongside. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalitymatch_speech|Oi, Captain, I was just having a chat with {s11}. I never cared much for those of the Empire, considering the Noldor history with them, but exceptions seem to be the rule in this company. str_npc_jocelyn_personalitymatch_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, {s11} is most skilled in battle as well as a bladeswoman of merit. We need more like her in this troop. I notice she has a strong grasp of tactics, as well. str_npc_alistair_personalitymatch_speech|I must admit I find our little serpent {s11} quite amusing, and she's rather alluring, too. Her wit is as sharp as the proverbial serpent's fang as well. Did you hear what she said to a Questing Knight we passed on the road yesterday? I laughed myself silly over it. str_npc_rayne_personalitymatch_speech|Captain, {s11} acquitted himself well in that fight back there. Though he's only a Singalian, he doesn't want for courage, and he's very skilled. str_npc_julia_personalitymatch_speech|Hail, {reg63?lord madam} Captain, I wish you joy of your victory! Say, {s11} lives up to the Noldor reputation of being unstoppable warriors, doesn't he? str_npc_frederick_personalitymatch_speech|At least one other member of your troop is a professional soldier. We would welcome a man of the caliber of {s11} into the Mettenheim army. str_npc_ediz_personalitymatch_speech|Were he of Singalian blood, I would welcome {s11} into my clan. His honor matches our own and he fights most fiercely. str_npc_sara_personalitymatch_speech|You have earned your name in a song today, O Valorous One! And {s11}, too! I like that one. Though he's undoubtedly a rough diamond, I find myself wondering if I should try to refine him. He might prove worth the effort. str_npc_donavan_personalitymatch_speech|Captain. I must say that it is a pleasure going into battle with men like {s11} at my side. Mettenheim trains fine soldiers, and I admire him immensely. str_npc_diev_personalitymatch_speech|Captain, {s11} has a kind heart and a sweet nature. She's the sort of person we're fighting to keep safe, and I admire her gentleness. She'll make a fine wife to some lucky fellow one day. str_npc_alyssa_personalitymatch_speech|I musst admit, I find {s11} ssomewhat entertaining and he iss handsome, too. He iss a welcome relief from the dour and tedious memberss of thiss troop. str_npc_roland_personalitymatch_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I must tell you that I admire {s11}'s strength and grit, particularly considering what happened to her. She does not bewail her circumstance - she fights, and fights well. str_npc_kaverra_personalitymatch_speech|Captain, that {s11} is all right. When one of the men was bothering me, he told him to take himself off, and told me to sit by him in camp, and he'd see to it nobody harassed me again. str_npc_sigismund_personalitymatch_speech|Say, Commander, that {s11} is rightly named a 'Fox,' I can tell you. She's a great entertainer, in more than one way, if you take my meaning. str_npc_boadice_personalitymatch_speech|Had I met more men of {s11}'s sort before, I might have had to revise my opinion of men. Such a pity he is a man - he'd otherwise make a fine commander. str_npc_adonja_personalitymatch_speech_b|I never thought I'd grow to like a man like him - shy, always reading - did you know he offered to teach me to read? Vejovis amuses himself at our expense sometimes, I suspect. str_npc_leslie_personalitymatch_speech_b|He's the kind of man my brother was, protective of women, with nice manners. I feel safe fighting beside him. str_npc_ansen_personalitymatch_speech_b|I've never been around a girl like her. I was never interested in the ladies of Cez - too airheaded. When I try to talk to her, my tongue just ties itself in knots, though, and I'm sure she thinks I'm an idiot. str_npc_riva_personalitymatch_speech_b|You chose well, when you enlisted him in our company. He knows a thing or two about a fight, and also knows the importance of respecting his comrades-in-arms, unlike some others I might mention. He comes from an ancient family, too, you know. str_npc_kassim_personalitymatch_speech_b|As for her claims of nobility, I doubt that {s11} is any more nobly-born than I am, but I greatly admire her fire and spirit. If I did not fear waking with my throat slit, I would carry her off to my family's tents as my first wife. str_npc_lethaldiran_personalitymatch_speech_b|Have you heard her story? Imagine having to kill one's own brother after finding one's whole family was enmeshed with the Snake Cult! Of course, a lot of the Empire Citizens are Snakes on the sly, I'm told. Still, she did very well. str_npc_jocelyn_personalitymatch_speech_b|I'd like to have seen her at the head of that Veccavii army. I'd also wager she'd make a far better queen of her island than that sister of hers! str_npc_alistair_personalitymatch_speech_b|Perhaps you should recruit more Serpent Priestesses to your company. They would certainly add a bit of leavening to this very dull group. str_npc_rayne_personalitymatch_speech_b|Were he of noble blood, I'd offer him membership in the Order of the Falcon. It is a pity that he is Singalian. Still, he is a worthy comrade in arms. str_npc_julia_personalitymatch_speech_b|He covered my back in our latest battle, and saved me an injury or worse. It goes to show that prejudice is often misplaced - you'll never hear praise of the Noldor in the Empire. str_npc_frederick_personalitymatch_speech_b|We of the Forlorn Hope admire nothing more than genuine military ability, coupled with fine fighting skills. str_npc_ediz_personalitymatch_speech_b|I have four sisters, three of whom were too young for marriage when I left. I wonder if he would care to marry into my clan? A brother-in-law of Outlander blood would not be unheard of amongst my people. str_npc_sara_personalitymatch_speech_b|He is a fine man I think, despite his crudities and his drinking habits. I am very glad that he is with us, Captain. I can sense that his hard exterior disguises both gentleness and true passion. He interests me as no man has before. I must beware liking him too well. str_npc_donavan_personalitymatch_speech_b|He's a professional soldier, and despite being of middle age accounts for many on the battlefield. He knows the wisdom of holding together in a disciplined battle-line, too. You showed excellent sense in adding him to the company. str_npc_diev_personalitymatch_speech_b|Her example gives me the strength to keep fighting for the underdogs, even with all the odds against winning. str_npc_alyssa_personalitymatch_speech_b|Amongst sso many knights who bore on forever about the godss and their tiresome virtues, his wit iss like the ssparkle of ssunlight on water. str_npc_roland_personalitymatch_speech_b|I must admit that, although her nickname and weapon are somewhat offputting, she is a fine soldier. Despite her peasant birth and upbringing, she has noble principles and a fine sense of justice. She is one of nature's nobles. str_npc_kaverra_personalitymatch_speech_b|He treats me like a lady, too, and tells me 'bout his goddess, Astraea, who sounds like the right kind of goddess to me. He said she might have sent those Vanskerries to me as a trial of my courage and I came through it bravely. str_npc_sigismund_personalitymatch_speech_b|Those songs she makes up about our troop's adventures are great listening. Just watching her move is a real pleasure. Beats me how she can be both a superb armful and one hell of a soldier, all in one package. str_npc_boadice_personalitymatch_speech_b|When I regain my throne, I might consider bending our rules about males just a trifle, so as to put him into my army. Ungelded, of course. str_npc_adonja_retirement_speech|Chief, er, Captain, I miss the snow and my mountains, and I really miss my Clan. I'd like to try to get back to them, so I think I'll head out now. If we meet in a fight, I'll call off my men, if you will, and we'll each go our separate ways. I wouldn't feel right fighting you. str_npc_leslie_retirement_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam} I have seen more bloodshed than I can bear. I've money now to return to Barclay, and I'll never soldier again. Goodbye, and thank you for rescuing me from that tavern. str_npc_ansen_retirement_speech|I have decided that a warrior's life is not for me. I'd like to rejoin my abbot and resume my studies. I am sorry to fail you, my {reg63?Lord Lady}. str_npc_riva_retirement_speech|I have fought with you honorably, as befits my status and name. However, neither you nor your troop have accorded me proper respect. I will go elsewhere and find a captain who shows respect both for me and for my abilities. str_npc_kassim_retirement_speech|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, I ate your salt, and I have fought for you fiercely and loyally, and the loot has been abundant. I wish to return home now, in hopes that the Khan's men have forgotten me, to see my father and brothers again. Khuda Hafiz. str_npc_lethaldiran_retirement_speech|While I greatly enjoy your company, Captain, I cannot say the same for that of the majority of your troop. I must bid you farewell. str_npc_jocelyn_retirement_speech|Captain, I weary of taking orders when I am more accustomed to giving them. I'm going to form my own troop, which I alone will command. I thank you for the time we have fought together, and I will always remember you kindly. str_npc_alistair_retirement_speech|Despite my very best efforts, you remain nauseatingly virtuous, and I fear I can no longer tolerate your company. I shall continue the mission with which my Grand Master entrusted me, and I advise you to beware of me in future. str_npc_rayne_retirement_speech|We have fought well together, and earned ourselves much glory. I do, however, have an Order to refound, so I leave you now. Perhaps we will meet again some day. str_npc_julia_retirement_speech|I've had enough of tramping up and down the length and breadth of Pendor. I've got enough to buy a little house in a town somewhere, so I think I'll look for a job as a tavern guard, so I can sleep with a roof over my head once more. Bye, and best of luck to you. str_npc_frederick_retirement_speech|Mijn Commandant, I have had word that a delegation from Mettenheim has arrived in Pendor and I must now join them lest I be charged with desertion from the Forlorn Hope. Farewell. str_npc_ediz_retirement_speech|Captain, I have, thanks to your leadership, recovered my honor. I wish now to seek out my people before I become to accustomed to Outlander ways. str_npc_sara_retirement_speech|Your renown increases with every battle, and I fear that my own reputation will pale in comparison, as the moon is outshone by the sun. I have decided to strike out on my own. I shall sing of your exploits wherever I go, O Valorous One! str_npc_donavan_retirement_speech|I hereby inform you that I am severing our relationship. I have found alternative employment with one less soft on {reg63?his her} men. str_npc_diev_retirement_speech|Commander, my parents, the ones who adopted me, are getting old. I had word from the Master of that last caravan we escorted that they want to see me. I owe them, for rescuing and raising me, and I want to go back to Rane and see what I can do for them. str_npc_alyssa_retirement_speech|I have received a letter from the SSerpent Cult sstating that all will be forgiven if I return to them. I think I sshall go back, ass I do not like being part of your troop. str_npc_roland_retirement_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, it is time for me to leave you. I am better-suited to being a solitary Paladin, I fear, than a member of this unruly troop. str_npc_kaverra_retirement_speech|Captain, I got enough loot put by to start up again as a peddler. You know that's all I wanted, anyhow, and thanks to you, I got skills enough to keep from being raided without one hell of a fight. So, I think I'll be off and try my hand at trading again. Maybe we'll meet up again one of these days. str_npc_sigismund_retirement_speech|Commander, I think I've finally had my fill of fighting. My farm's going to hell back home, and I'd like to take up my plow again. What's past is past and it's time I moved on. I'll never have my Claire again, but she had a younger sister, who may not be married yet. str_npc_boadice_retirement_speech|It is high time I began assembling an army to take back my throne in Veccavi. Thanks to you, I have enough loot to hire a goodly force, so I must say farewell to you now. str_npc_adonja_rehire_speech|Chief, er, Captain, well met! I was hoping to find you again. I never made it back to my mountains, got jumped and robbed on the way, so here I am, broke again, looking for work. Will you hire me back? Same terms, just let me at the loot! str_npc_leslie_rehire_speech|{reg63?Sir Madam}, I've been looking for you everywhere! I bought a load of goods, and took them back to Barclay. But, without my brother I had no reason to stay, so I've returned here to my true friends. Tavern gossip has it that you've done very well for yourself. So tell me, {reg63?Sir Madam}, may I return to you as quartermaster? str_npc_ansen_rehire_speech|Hello, {reg63?Sir Madam}! It is very good to see you again. I have not fared well since we parted, I'm afraid. My abbot was not very welcoming. I receive nothing but lectures from my father and brothers. I am better suited to war than to commerce, to sharing meals over a campfire with fellow soldiers than sipping wine with the burghers of Cez. {reg63?Sir Madam}, will you please take me back? str_npc_riva_rehire_speech|Why hello, Captain, you've done well for yourself, I hear. Since we parted, I've been unsuccessful at making my name and fattening my purse. I know there's been bad blood between us, but if you can forget that, I'd be honored to fight in your ranks once again. str_npc_kassim_rehire_speech|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, your fame grows ever greater and has spread throughout my homeland. I went home, hoping that the Bahadur Khan had forgotten my little exploit, but alas, he has not. Before I reached the Pamirs, word came from my family that both the Khan's men and the Yusafzai were looking for me. I have returned, hoping to fight in your warband once more. str_npc_lethaldiran_rehire_speech|Captain, how delightful to bump into you again. I have not received sufficient commissions to make a decent living. The loot with your company was far better, and I would like to join you again. str_npc_jocelyn_rehire_speech|Well met, {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain! I've discovered that there are more benefits to being under the command of a good Captain than there are in commanding a troop. If you'll have me back, I should like to rejoin you. str_npc_alistair_rehire_speech|My Grand Master thought my departure from you overhasty and has ordered me to find and rejoin you. I trust you will welcome my return? str_npc_rayne_rehire_speech|Captain, it is good to see you again. I sought service with several lords, but have been most disappointed in them. They ask me to collect debts from their fellow lords, as though I were a banker's errand boy, or order me to chase down their runaway serfs, as though I were a farm overseer. One even asked me to murder one of his creditors! I have looked for you, to ask if I might join you again. str_npc_julia_rehire_speech|{reg63?Lord Madam} Captain, it is so good to see you! I found I'd no taste for staying in once place all the time. Breaking up tavern brawls is much more dangerous than fighting a battle! I'm a soldier now, for better or worse. So tell me, Captain, are you looking for more troops at the moment? str_npc_frederick_rehire_speech|I begin to despair, Mijn Commandant. When I went to join the latest Mettenheim delegation, I arrived too late. They fell afoul of a band of Heretics and were all slaughtered. Is it possible that I might rejoin your troop? str_npc_ediz_rehire_speech|When I returned to my home tents, all were deserted. Only one old man remained, half-crazed, but he finally told me the entire clan had left for the deep desert to join some fanatic named Burilgi. May I rejoin the troop? str_npc_sara_rehire_speech|Hello there, O Valorous One. I've been hoping you'd appear again. Everywhere I go, I hear tales and songs of your deeds. I admit to feeling a trifle jealous of your renown, but I've since regretted our parting. I'd like once again to fight by your side, to add my moon's silver light to the gold of your sun. Shall we ride together again, if only for a little while? str_npc_donavan_rehire_speech|Captain, it's good to see you. When last we parted, I'd have sworn by all the little gods that I'd not serve under you again, but perhaps I judged you too harshly. All over Pendor, men sing your praises. I have tried serving in other lords' armies, and believe me, what I have seen of them raises my opinion of your leadership. If you'll have me in your company, I'll fight for you again. str_npc_diev_rehire_speech|Commander, glad I bumped into you again. By the time I got back to Rane, my mother was already dead, and my father was going fast. The business had gone to hell, too, and I had to sell off what was left to pay their debts. Now I'm looking for work again - are you by any chance hiring just now? str_npc_alyssa_rehire_speech|That letter from my cult wass a trap, Captain, and I narrowly esscaped with my life. I sshall not make ssuch a misstake again, if you will let me sserve with you again. str_npc_roland_rehire_speech|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I regret parting company with you. I realize that I judged you and your men too harshly, by knightly standards, and failed to take into account that your men are simply soldiers. I have heard of your recent exploits and wished I had been again amongst your valiant company. Would you consider permitting me to rejoin you? str_npc_kaverra_rehire_speech|Hey, Captain, been lookin' for you all over. Peddling's kinda boring, and I ain't hardly had a chance to use my Man Opener since I left the troop. You hirin' again? Just sharpened up my Man Opener the other day. str_npc_sigismund_rehire_speech|Commander, glad you turned up here today. Even as I was leaving, I knew in my heart I'd never make a farmer again. I went back to Vezin, started working my land, and realized I was meant to plant dead men, not seeds, into the ground. Claire's sister is married now, too, she's had three brats and run to fat. str_npc_boadice_rehire_speech|Hello, Captain. I returned to Veccavi only to find that my sister had consolidated her power most efficiently. My gold was insufficient to hire enough men to fight her, and I once again had to flee my island. Will you have me in your company again? str_npc_adonja_home_intro|They call them the Mystmountains because, most days, the mist rises so thick on the ground of a morning, you can hardly see your hand before your face. Then the sun burns through the rising haze, and the purple peaks appear beyond. str_npc_leslie_home_intro|Javiksholm's where my brother and I landed when we first arrived in Pendor. Our hopes were so high and we couldn't wait to start travelling and trading. str_npc_ansen_home_intro|Can you smell that? Lemon trees, apples and saffron crocus flowers, the scents of Ethos. I spent many a happy summer here when I was studying with the abbot. str_npc_riva_home_intro|Ah, the Woods of Laria. This place has all sorts of evil creatures lurking in its shadows. There are even shape-shifters here, if you can believe the old tales. str_npc_kassim_home_intro|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, we are nearing Singal, the largest town in the lower steppe. My mother's sister's husband's cousin came here to marry a townsman. I escorted her, thinking to take service with the Khan of Singal. That, of course, was prior to my small misunderstanding with the Bahadur Khan and the Yusafsai. str_npc_lethaldiran_home_intro|Hmm, we're a trifle close to my home territory for my comfort, but I admit I've missed these woods. I hunted here often as a lad. str_npc_jocelyn_home_intro|This is a fine town, filled with handsome houses and prosperous burghers, with a rich trade in furs. I have missed the snows of Barclay. str_npc_alistair_home_intro|I miss our Barclay banquets. My father used to order criminals and other riffraff tortured during his feasts, and their shrieks of agony quite stimulated my appetite. His torturer was exceptionally skillful. str_npc_rayne_home_intro|Behold the walls of Rane, the strongest fortress in all Pendor. My father spent many summers here, jousting for the honor of the Knights of the Falcon in the tournaments held here. He won ten tournaments straight in his youth, a record that stands to this day. str_npc_julia_home_intro|Ah! Do you smell that fresh air, Captain? This was my home, before I left under the circumstances we previously discussed. It's good to be here again, though it brings me bittersweet memories. Somewhere near is the cave I hid in, the first month after I left Janos. str_npc_frederick_home_intro|There is too much fresh air in Pendor. I miss the smoke and acrid scents of smelting ore, the clang of weapons being forged. I find I do not care for the odors of dung and fresh-plowed earth. str_npc_ediz_home_intro|In the deep desert, the vistas are endless; an eternity of sand broken only by gusts of wind, the tracks of sand snakes and bones left by the vultures. It is stark, but very beautiful. str_npc_sara_home_intro|Ah, such a lovely spot, here by the deep lake. I spent many a happy day here, the summer before last. str_npc_donavan_home_intro|Do you see that fortress over there? I spent a winter there some years back, trying to train the lord's men. str_npc_diev_home_intro|Rane's a fine town, for all the poor outnumber the rich by fifty to one. I had some fine times with what a lord would call 'riffraff' here, I can tell you. Each time I shot a wild boar or a deer in the Lord's preserve, we'd feast in the alleys. str_npc_alyssa_home_intro|I miss the Sserpent Temple, with its undulating carvingss and the quiet there. I also greatly miss my little pet. He wass emerald color, with ssilvery eyes and coiled about my neck like a necklace more beautiful than any jewel. str_npc_roland_home_intro|I was born near Cez, as I may have told you. It's a beautiful city, bustling with traders, with the lapping of the waves as background music. Marius has done much for it, most particularly in his efforts to drive out the accursed Snake Cult. Our shrines are to Damia Provideo, the original Pendor godesss. str_npc_kaverra_home_intro|We're near my home village, Captain. It's just a fishing village, but we made a good living before the Raiders started coming so often. Jayek has a fleet of twenty fishing boats, you know, the biggest village fleet in the Fierdsvain. str_npc_sigismund_home_intro|That's my village, just over the next hill. I can smell the new-turned earth already; they must be plowing today. Thanks to us in no small part, they can plow in safety, with a fair chance of getting a good harvest from their labors. str_npc_boadice_home_intro|The longer I stay in this revolting land, the more I miss my island. Our weather was quite temperate, and I slept each night with the sound of waves for a lullaby. I should like to command an army again, as well, rather than simply being a common trooper. str_npc_adonja_home_description|Vejovis appears in the form of a mountain cat, but only to our shamans. When the shamans see Vejovis, they know he's telling us it's time for another foray, and he'll watch over us while we're raiding. str_npc_leslie_home_description|People say the Fierdsvainers are barbarians, but they have good heads for trade. The people up and down the coast grow flax, which they weave into linen. It can't compete with Janos silks and velvets as a luxury fabric, but it makes good summertime wear, as well as sails for ships. Linen was one of the few goods that someone else in Pendor wasn't already making. str_npc_ansen_home_description|Ethos has wet winters and hot summers, but the people here build great cisterns to water their crops. They grow wonderful grapes - Ethosian wine is famous, my {reg63?Lord Lady}. Those who can afford it have walled gardens, where fruit trees grow in abundance. We'd sit at night listening to music, or playing chess, or just enjoying the sweet scents of the night air. str_npc_riva_home_description|The King of Sarleon declared this to be his personal hunting preserve, and said he'd hang anyone who as much as strung a bow here. What's the result? A family grows hungry, and the father poaches to feed them. The Lord's Sheriff hangs him, and takes his land. His sons, rather than starve, turn bandit. Naturally, anyone in the valley escaping a debt, a nagging wife or a vengeful noble comes up here and joins them, living on wild pigs, berries and the purses of unwary travelers. str_npc_kassim_home_description|The D'Shar have long come here, to trade and raid, and in the last days of the Kingdom of Pendor, we began to settle. Our ancestors took the King's coin to keep the other tribes at bay. We began trading and built settlements to protect our markets. Those settlements became the cities that you see today. Odd that a nomadic people could tolerate living in the same place for even a week, let alone centuries. str_npc_lethaldiran_home_description|I do find it difficult being surrounded by humans, rather than amongst my own kind. Have you any idea how foul most of you smell? Noldor cleanliness standards are vastly higher than those of humans. str_npc_jocelyn_home_description|I've grown to like snow here in Pendor, so now I enjoy crispy air and the feel of a cold day, the sound of snow crunching beneath my horse's hooves. My energies wane in warmer climes. It is a pleasure to ride in snow again. str_npc_alistair_home_description|His torturer used to flay them, layer by layer, and could make them last throughout the feast. He was quite talented. What delightful evenings they were! str_npc_rayne_home_description|I have often wondered if Rane's glory influenced my father's choice of name for me, his only son. I never asked him, and now that he's dead, I cannot. It is a fine name though, don't you think? Too bad that I am the last, both of my Knighthood Order and of my line. I alone am charged by the gods to restore my order, and I cannot rest until I have done so. str_npc_julia_home_description|It was one of the most frightening times of my life. The Snake Cult was everywhere back then, currying favor with their foul God in revolting ways. No one was safe. Marius changed all of that, and good for him. He is the only noble I'd say is worth a damn. Still, I don't doubt he has an evil side as well. All nobles keep dark secrets and stain their souls with treachery. str_npc_frederick_home_description|I would give much to see Mettenheim again, to walk its rocky tracks, to see our great volcano belching smoke to rival the smoke of our forges. str_npc_ediz_home_description|I'd like to ride once again across the desert with my clanbrothers at my side, rivalling the wind itself with our speed. str_npc_sara_home_description|Once, I came here with a small group of friends for a picnic. There were ten of us, two ladies, seven young lords and me. We were attacked by a coven of Heretics, who thought we'd be easy pickings. Two of the lads fled straight away and the others proved no match for the coven. The two young ladies and I were left with five bloodthirsty Heretics who planned to sacrifice us on the spot. The only sacrifices made that day were the lives of those Heretics! str_npc_donavan_home_description|I say 'trying' because, in my opinion, the men of Ravenstern don't understand discipline. They are undoubtedly the finest archers in Pendor, and good riders too, but they've no talent for fighting in ranks. Their skills serve them well enough against bandits and Mystmountain Raiders, and against an army when they're behind walls. Get them outside the walls, though, and a company of heavy lances can cut through a Ravenstern formation like a knife through butter. For my money, the Empire produces the best soldiers. Their Pikemen and Legionnaires are the most disciplined soldiers I have encountered outside Barclay. str_npc_diev_home_description|It's a crime, it is, that a few in Rane are so rich, when so many go hungry every day. I despise those fat Lords and merchants, who sit gorging on food they don't need, while brats in the alleys cry from hunger and steal garbage to eat. str_npc_alyssa_home_description|We sspend our days in quiet contemplation of the greatness of Azi Dahaka, broken only by forays to obtain fressh ssacrifices. str_npc_roland_home_description|We were on our way to the Harvest Festival when the Serpents took my parents. I still remember those festivals, Damia's shrine heaped with ripe ears of corn, everyone celebrating the end of a good harvest. Musicians came from miles around and there was dancing in the town square at night. str_npc_kaverra_home_description|My granfer used special woods to smoke our fish, gave it a taste no other smoked fish had, and brought us a better price from the traders. I heard tell that even the King used to ask for Jayek smoked fish for his table. Far's I'm concerned, if I never eat another fish, it'll be too soon. str_npc_sigismund_home_description|I'd give all I have, if I could once again be a simple village farmer. End of the day, I'd take my Claire's hand and lead her home, and never leave. If she even mentioned soldiering, I'd shut her mouth with a kiss right quick, and tell her home's the place for people like us. str_npc_boadice_home_description|A balmy wind would carry the rattle of palm fronds and the scent of our gardens throughout the city. I was given only the greatest respect by our male slaves, utterly unlike the disrespect shown me by the ungelded clods here in Pendor. str_npc_adonja_home_description_2|The feel of an icy mist on your face wakes you up right in the morning. I'm tired of warm weather. I'd like to see the snow on my mountains again. str_npc_leslie_home_description_2|My brother and I had saffron, cinnamon, cloves, pepper and other spices and a chest full of denars. From Javiksholm, we travelled towards Laria, to trade for Noldor artifacts and pottery. We estimated that, even if we couldn't find artifacts, we could buy linens, furs, velvet, iron and wool, the extra horses to carry them back to Javiksholm, and still make a profit. If only we'd taken the Jatu into account! str_npc_ansen_home_description_2|The poets call Ethos a paradise, and I think that, for once, they do not take poetic license. str_npc_riva_home_description_2|I know this because I was taken by bandits, and held for ransom, but I got away. That's really all there is to tell. str_npc_kassim_home_description_2|Our famous D'Shar warrior poet, Khushal Khan Khattack was born here. This is one of the best lines from his immortal verse 'My soul rejoices as my scimitar reddens, sticky with the blood of my enemies; I gain strength from my kills and my wounds are as nothing. I laugh with delight as the vultures devour their rotting dead.' str_npc_lethaldiran_home_description_2|I also miss our music - your clumsy pipes and whistles cannot compare to a Noldor flute, and your croaking is by and large unmelodious. str_npc_jocelyn_home_description_2|In Barclay as a child, I greatly enjoyed snowball fights. It snows rarely there, so a snowstorm is always a special event to us. str_npc_alistair_home_description_2|I made full use of our right of jus primae noctis in our villages, as well, since dear Pater was a trifle past such activities, due to his drinking habits. I can safely say that even the plainest virgins went to their marriage beds considerably more experienced than they came to mine. Even the fat ones had a certain cushiony appeal, and they were soft to sleep on when I was done with them. str_npc_rayne_home_description_2|I spent most of my life in the hall of our Order in Rane, studying and training with sword and lance. I still miss those days and will treasure my memories of them for the rest of my life. Our order was outlawed when Gregory IV assumed the throne over his elder sister, Madame Ursula. She was a knight of our Order, and none could dispute the strength of her arm. Politics in Ravenstern were not always thus. Under the Kings of old, many Knighthood Orders cooperated for the sake of the King and the people. It is a pity those times have gone forever. str_npc_julia_home_description_2|Before Julius turned evil, we'd hike here to search the ruins for ancient artifacts. We'd find old pottery and other interesting things when we were lucky. Once we found an old dagger buried in the mud. The handle had rotted away, but the blade was as clean and sharp as one new-made. We gave it to my Dad, and I hate to think what he used it for. I hope that priestess lady he guarded died by it. That would be a fitting use for such a blade, wouldn't it? str_npc_frederick_home_description_2|These paltry hillocks you call mountains here in Pendor cannot compare with the magnificence of our central volcano, Aysenberg, rising like a spire in the center of our island. str_npc_ediz_home_description_2|I long for the smell of kebab roasting over a dried dung fire, for the nutty taste the dung imparts to the meat. I would kill for a pot of my mother's pulao. str_npc_sara_home_description_2|When I was done, the ladies were in hysterics and the lads were all wounded. I concocted a tale for their sires of how their valor had saved us all. The lads knew who the real heroine was, but were ashamed to admit that I'd saved all their lives. For the rest of that summer, they went in terror that I'd reveal what had really happened. I thought to make a song about our adventure, but relented in the end, and did not. str_npc_donavan_home_description_2|If anyone ever unifies Pendor, I'll serve them, free of charge. I'll sail to Barclay, hire a a few companies and bring them back here. Barclay is more advanced than Pendor in the ways of warcraft. A company of Barclay infantry and two companies of Barclay Imperial Lanciers would make the king invincible. str_npc_diev_home_description_2|Still, I might go back to Rane one day, if only to see how my adoptive parents are. They had a comfortable house and a good life there, and I might have more of a taste for that sort of life now than I had as a lad. str_npc_alyssa_home_description_2|I am ssick of eating only bread, cabbage and apples! Do these Pendorians grow no vegetables at all?! str_npc_roland_home_description_2|The Empire celebrates no festivals now, because those filthy Serpent Cultists are everywhere. We must find and kill more of them, Captain, they befoul all Pendor, not just the Empire. Though my loyalty is to my Order, now, I cannot help but mourn what the Empire has become. str_npc_kaverra_home_description_2|Our fishermen can find schools of fish better'n most. They got a thing called a 'compass' that tells 'em where they are, Granfer got it from some Ravenstern trader. Our farmland's good, too, and Thallo walks our fields each spring. My uncle saw her once. str_npc_sigismund_home_description_2|I used to hope I'd see Thallo, walking my fields of an early morn, and think she'd maybe give me one of her flowers. Her flowers make the seeds sprout quicker and the harvest heavier, you know, if she gifts a farmer with one. str_npc_boadice_home_description_2|At the snap of my fingers, a dozen male slaves appeared, all eager to please me. A wave of my hand sent them scurrying to do my bidding. str_npc_adonja_home_recap|I'm proud to come from the Catsclaw clan, and strong because I grew up in the Mystmountains under Vejovis' protection. If you have friendly enough relations with the tribes, ask me about connections; I might have something that would interest you. str_npc_leslie_home_recap|I was born over the Western Sea, in the city-state called Barclay. I'm a merchant, the daughter of a merchant, and the granddaughter of a merchant. str_npc_ansen_home_recap|I was born in my father's house in {s20}, but I spent much of my childhood in {s21}. str_npc_riva_home_recap|I grew up in a manor just outside Laria. Its nothing like it once was, but it has been in our family for generations. str_npc_kassim_home_recap|I was born in the high passes on the other side of the Pamirs, past Torbah, but I have relatives in Singal. str_npc_lethaldiran_home_recap|I am of the House of Ithilrandir and take pride in my ancestry, despite my exile. str_npc_jocelyn_home_recap|I hope to retire to Barclay and perhaps train the young sons of nobles in the knightly skills. Alas, there is no longer a place within my Order to house me in my old age. str_npc_alistair_home_recap|Ah, the refinements of Barclay! Pendor's lack of amenities is quite nearly insupportable and I long for the delights and comforts of home. str_npc_rayne_home_recap|I was born in Senderfall but spent most of my life in Rane, where the Halls of the Order of the Falcon once stood. str_npc_julia_home_recap|I was born and raised in Janos. Maybe someday I will return. str_npc_frederick_home_recap|I have nearly lost hope that I will ever see Mettenheim again. I fear they think me dead with the rest of the delegation. str_npc_ediz_home_recap|The day I ride once again into my home camp with my honor restored will be the happiest day of my life. str_npc_sara_home_recap|Oh, far away from here, my Captain. I live here and there, but I don't call any place home for very long. That would be too boring. str_npc_donavan_home_recap|I am the younger son of the Count of Dunglave, whose fief lies northwest of Barclay, across your Western Sea. str_npc_diev_home_recap|I had some right fine times in Rane, and sometimes I wonder if any of my friends there are still alive. str_npc_alyssa_home_recap|I would never have tried to poisson my rival, had I known my action would lead to thiss misserable exile in Pendor. str_npc_roland_home_recap|I recall the scents of Cez, as well, spice, fish, overripe vegetables in the market, overlaid with the scents of the flowers planted in the boxes on the fronts of all the houses. str_npc_kaverra_home_recap|Sometimes I miss going to sleep to the sound of the waves in Jayek, but that's about all I miss about living in a fishing village. I'd rather gut a man than a fish, any day. str_npc_sigismund_home_recap|Maybe, one day, I'll go back to Vezin. Still, as they say, you can't turn back time, and nobody gets to go home again. Likely the village wouldn't want a man like me living there anyway. str_npc_boadice_home_recap|When I rule Veccavi once again, my sister's head shall be the first to roll! str_npc_adonja_honorific|Chief, er, Captain str_npc_leslie_honorific|{reg63?Sir Madam} str_npc_ansen_honorific|my {reg63?Lord Lady} str_npc_riva_honorific|{reg63?Sir Madam} str_npc_kassim_honorific|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi} {playername} str_npc_lethaldiran_honorific|{reg63?Lord Madame} Captain str_npc_jocelyn_honorific|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain str_npc_alistair_honorific|My dear {playername} str_npc_rayne_honorific|my good {reg63?Sir Lady} str_npc_julia_honorific|Centurion, er... captain str_npc_frederick_honorific|Mein Kapitan str_npc_ediz_honorific|Honored Captain str_npc_sara_honorific|My Captain str_npc_donavan_honorific|Commander str_npc_diev_honorific|Commander str_npc_alyssa_honorific|{playername} str_npc_roland_honorific|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain str_npc_kaverra_honorific|Captain str_npc_sigismund_honorific|{reg63?Sir Madam} Commander str_npc_boadice_honorific|Captain str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_1|Well, you could hardly be a worse ruler than those fools whose backsides currently warm the various Pendor thrones! With you in charge, we could work out a trade deal with the Mystmountain tribes, so our clans could trade in Ravenstern instead of raiding? str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_1|Captain, I suspect you'd be a fair ruler and rid Pendor of the bandits and invaders who plague caravans and traders? If you did that and set up a proper merchant's guild, maybe relaxed the import tariffs those greedy kings impose, we could make Pendor a very profitable place to trade. str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_1|Well, my {reg63?lord lady}, if any person could hold that sort of power and remain uncorrupted, it would surely be you. You've already proved to me that you are not the sort to go to war every five minutes, like the morons who lead the Pendor factions. If you'd further the cause of universal education as well, that would be a fine thing! str_npc_riva_kingsupport_1|Well, captain, you've shown respect for the well-born like me, and I should think the lords of this land would welcome a {reg63?king queen} who understood the responsibilities as well as the prestige of belonging to the noble class. str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_1|A fine idea, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, if you can govern with a strong but even hand on all. So long, of course, as you allow the D'Shar to hold to our ancient traditions and do not attempt to end our blood feuds or favor one tribe over another. str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_1|You have, by and large, imposed unity on a troop composed of very diverse people, and I think you could do the same for Pendor. If your rule encompassed fairness for my people, too, I'd be pleased to support you.} str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_1|You have been a fine leader of this troop, Captain and I see no reason why you could not rule Pendor. Certainly, eradication of any and all Heretics should be part of your agenda, and I'd support you if you pledge to me you'll do that. str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_1|You could hardly do worse than Pendor's current rulers. I think I could support you as {reg63?king queen} of Pendor, assuming you swore to do something to civilize this land! str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_1|Very good, my {reg63?lord lady}, you are a fine commander and I think you could rule well. I doubt you'd exile worthy knighthood Orders, either, and if we refounded the Knights of the Falcon, you could command a loyal group of valiant knights as well, {reg63?sir my lady}. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_1|Well, Centurion, you know my feelings about nobility, but you've done much to rid the Empire of the Snake Cult, and I think you'd do a better job than that fool, Marius, were you the {reg63?king queen}. Mind you don't fall into the ways of the nobility, though! str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_1|Pendor needs a strong ruler, one who can impose order with force but govern with efficiency and kindness. You appear to have the abilities needed. I will support you as Pendor's {reg63?king queen}. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_1|We Singalians killed off our rulers a long time ago, but Pendor appears to need one more than we did. I respect you, Captain, and I will stand behind you as you reach for a crown. str_npc_sara_kingsupport_1|So you aspire to become a {reg63?king queen}, O Valorous One? There are many tales and ballads of those who, through wisdom and military skill ascended to a throne. I rather fancy the idea of being a {reg63?king's queen's} court bard. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_1|Well, {reg63?sir madam}, I've said this before - I'd train men gratis for a ruler who unified Pendor, and I'll hold to my word. I could make your army invincible, given the time, authority and funds. str_npc_diev_kingsupport_1|You gave me the chance to prove I am no coward, Captain, and my bow is at your service. If you can be fair to the people those lordly bastards consider 'riffraff', I will support you in your bid for the throne. str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_1|Yess, you sshow resspect for me, despite your misguided dislike of the Sserpent Cult. Perhapss you might make a good {reg63?king queen} of Pendor. You could hardly be worse than those who currently rule here. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_1|You show respect for Astraea and the Pendor gods and have led our troop wisely to many victories. I have noted your personal virtue, as well, and you have gained my respect. I believe you would make a fine {reg63?king queen}. str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_1|What the hell, Captain, why not? With you in charge, them Vanskerries will not dare raid our Fierdsvain villages no more. You let me lead patrols and the bastids will rue the day HafSigla blew 'em onto Pendor shores. I reckon I could give Kodan Ironsword a run fer his money as a patrol captain. str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_1|You are not a half-bad commander, Captain. If Pendor was unified, the people could farm in peace, and not fear that all their labor would be lost to squabbling lords and raiders. I coud see my way clear to supporting your claim to the throne. str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_1|Why not? I would be pleased to advise you on matters which, not being a hereditary {reg63?king queen}, you may not understand fully. Being a {reg63?king queen} makes one the slave of the people, rather than the reverse, and it is a great responsibility. I think you could manage it. str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_2|A {reg63?king queen} who showed some kindness to us Mystmountain clans, and let us sell our furs and crafts in Ravenstern, maybe allowed us to settle a village or two, would never have to worry much about raids, though a few will always follow our old clan ways, but you know how to deal with them. str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_2|A wise {reg63?king queen} looks after the economic interests of the land {reg63?he she} rules and ensures the trading routes are safe. The common people value stability and prosperity above all. str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_2|I have a book of Pendor history, my {reg63?lord lady} which details how the {reg63?kings queens} of old convened councils of both the lords and representatives of all the Pendor guilds. That council had the power to overrule oppressive taxes or the unfair treatment of a citizen. Were you to form such a council again, you'd be praised by the people. str_npc_riva_kingsupport_2|Captain, the difficulty will come in persuading the nobility to accept you. As you know, lineage is of great importance to the lords, and even peasants traditionally support only those who are nobly born. Have you a noble Pendor ancestor whom you have not mentioned? Descent from a noble Pendor line would increase the credibility of your claim. str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_2|By Vata, yes, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi}. In those far-off days when our clans came first to Pendor, we had the right to live as nomads, shifting our herds to different pastures over the seasons. If our tribes heard directly from you that our ancient rights would be restored, you would gain much respect from them. We are ever a traditional people and a Bahadur Khan who turned a blind eye to the odd raid or a small blood feud would be highly regarded by the tribes. str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_2|I would. I still have friends amongst my people, despite my exile, and I'd let them know that our position would improve under your governance. I'll also watch your back most carefully - you'll need a good assassin in your court! str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_2|I will assuredly do that, Captain. My ex-Order, of course, will make trouble for you, but the rest of Pendor's Orders can be brought to support you with a bit of persuasion. str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_2|I would, but on condition you promise to permit me to introduce customs to your new court suitable to a proper {reg63?king queen}, including feasts with something fit to eat for a change! I can also recommend an excellent torturer to help persuade the recalcitrant that you are the best ruler for Pendor. str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_2|As you know, Gregory brought down Fire and Sword upon the Knights of the Falcon, but some still remain in hiding or exile. Should you restore our Order and call them from hiding, you would find strong support in Ravenstern, too, since our Knights were all of noble birth. There is many a Ravenstern family that would like to welcome home an exiled younger son or brother. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_2|Certainly, Centurion. You know how Marius judged me guilty of murder and never gave me the chance to tell my side of the story. If you made it known that all men would receive a fair hearing before being arbitrarily sentenced to death by some lord, we common folk would love you for it. str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_2|While you lack maturity, Captain, you are wise for your years and have ever shown an even hand in dealing with our troop. I see no reason why you could not govern a land as well. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_2|Of course, captain. You have shown respect for the traditions of individual members of our troop. Do the same for all in Pendor, and you will be a popular {reg63?king queen}, and would perhaps even gain respect from the Singalians. str_npc_sara_kingsupport_2|Assuredly, O Valorous One. I shall see to it that ballads of your bravery and poems praising your goodness, generosity and mercy circulate in every tavern in the land. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_2|I would indeed, Captain. You just unite this land, and then I'll raise you army such as Pendor has never seen, augmented by those Barclay dragoons I once mentioned to you. str_npc_diev_kingsupport_2|I surely would. The lords will cavil that you've no blue blood, but they bleed as red as you from a sword cut and the common folk will be pleased with you. str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_2|Yess, indeed, I begin to warm to your planss to rule. It would please me if you ordered the peasantss to cultivate more vegetables, however, and sshowed some mercy to those who follow my goddess. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_2|With Astraea's guidance I shall be your strong right arm, my {reg63?lord lady} so long as you are just and merciful to the people of Pendor. If rule corrupts you, I shall confront you with your sins, however, and punish you in Astraea's name! str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_2|Sure enough, Captain. You make it so a woman can travel this land without fearing rape, kidnap or worse, and send those Vanskerries packing, back to that frozen hell of a land they come from, and I'll lay down my life in your cause if you need me to! str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_2|Right then, Captain. I'll drink to that! You make life safe for village craftsmen and farmers, and I'll be your sworn man all my days. str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_2|Then, {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I shall begin training troops on my fief, towards your and my own greater honor, against the day I leave to take back my throne! str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_2a|Interesting - I wonder if the Mystmountain Raiders would cooperate. str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_2a|What you suggest is most sensible and perfectly feasible. str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_2a|Please tell me more. Your knowledge is invaluable. str_npc_riva_kingsupport_2a|Of course - let me tell you of my noble Pendoran lineage. str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_2a|I might overlook small quarrels or raids, and could restore your D'Shar rights. str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_2a|I think it is high time the Noldor were considered Pendor citizens like any others. str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_2a|I will enforce order ruthlessly, but temper justice with mercy... str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_2a|Hmmm, I suppose every court needs someone to act as a social arbiter. str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_2a|Gregory violated Pendor law with that ban, and your Order will be restored. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_2a|Of course I would give my subjects those rights. str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_2a|Even-handedness is crucial to any monarch, and I will never forget that. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_2a|A fair ruler must be a brave one, but harsh to those who break the laws. str_npc_sara_kingsupport_2a|That would be very helpful. I thank you, my Court Bard to be. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_2a|That would be amazing - Pendor would be invincible! str_npc_diev_kingsupport_2a|I had faith in you and you proved me right... str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_2a|I will allow freedom of religion, subject to Pendor laws. Sacrifice, however, must end. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_2a|I will always want you at my right hand to advise me; you are my moral compass. str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_2a|You know I would do that... str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_2a|Keeping the peasants safe is little enough to ask and I promise to do so. str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_2a|I will lend you what aid I can when you fight for your throne. str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_2b|I have fought and killed a lot of your clanspeople... str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_2b|What's the point in seeking support from greedy merchants, unless there's profit in it? str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_2b|I cannot pledge to follow only archaic ways. str_npc_riva_kingsupport_2b|Hmph, that obsession again. I've no interest in pretentiousness of that sort. str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_2b|I wish to be {reg63?king queen}, not adjudicate tribal blood feuds and encourage trespass or raids. str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_2b|I may not be able to live up to your expectations for the Noldor. str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_2b|You ask rather more than I can likely deliver. str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_2b|That's a rather presumptuous condition. str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_2b|I'm not sure that restoring your Order would be quite that easy. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_2b|I'll need some time to consider your words. str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_2b|Mettenheim ways are not the ways of Pendor. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_2b|I will not permit slavers to continue their trade in Singal! str_npc_sara_kingsupport_2b|I do believe my modesty would be offended by that. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_2b|I've no wish to impose sadistic military discipline or import troops. str_npc_diev_kingsupport_2b|I'd be {reg63?king queen} of the alley scaff and raff, at best, I fear. Enough of such talk. str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_2b|I cannot allow the Snake Cult to kidnap girl babies or practice human sacrifice. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_2b|I think your standards are too high for me to live up to... str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_2b|I don't think your wish is possible - there will always be dangers in Pendor. str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_2b|I cannot offend the lords by favoring peasants at the lords' expense... str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_2b|I cannot, however, pledge to allow your countrywomen to capture men here. str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_3|I know a few merchants and traders who don't disdain doing a little business with the Mystmountain Clans. I could talk to them, maybe sound them out on supporting you. If I told them you'd end the raids, they'd likely comply with your aims. str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_3|If you like, I might visit the guildhalls and inns where I have trading contacts, and tell them about your plans to expand the Pendor economic system and improve trade. If I told them you'd lower tariffs and taxes, they would go along! What do you say to that, captain? str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_3|If you pledged to respect the old traditions of Pendor, my {reg63?lord lady}, many of the merchants would accept your rule. If you restore the old Pendorian system, then arguably you are a more legitimate {reg63?king queen} than any of these come-lately usurpers. Give me leave for several weeks, and I will inform the merchant houses of your intention to restore their ancient rights. str_npc_riva_kingsupport_3|Ah, yes, an ancient and honorable line, indeed. If you give me leave, 'Majesty', I shall visit the villages and castles of this realm and make known the details of your royal ancestry. Of course, I trust you will remember my service to you, when you begin to distribute lands... str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_3|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, we D'Shar live by honor and herding our flocks. Grant me a few weeks to tell my kin that you support the restoration of our ancient rights, and will not be overly harsh should we lapse on occasion into tribal feuds. When our tribes speak of you as Bahadur, you will be halfway into the khan's tent! str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_3|Though I am exiled from my people, I yet speak with old friends amongst them. If I tell them that as {reg63?king queen}, you will end persecution of the Noldor, some will be persuaded. I may, ahem, remove a few of the more strident objectors. str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_3|I've friends yet in Eventide, as well as other Orders. I'll see what support for you I can raise amongst Pendor's knightly Orders. str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_3|I'm sure a few of my old cohorts will lend me an ear and some support for your cause. Shall I see what I can do for you? str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_3|You are wise, {reg63?sir madam}. A restored Order of the Falcon will prove a strong aid to your conquest and defense of Pendor. I shall inform the nobility of your intentions - I need only a few weeks to get the word out where it will do the most good. Court gossip will do the rest. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_3|Well then, just give me leave for a few weeks and see how fast I can tell the common folk that you will rule justly and equitably, and that lords and commoners alike will be as be one under your law. When they begin to speak of you as {reg63?king queen}, they'll begin to think of you as one... str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_3|Support from Mettenheim would aid your cause, and I am sure that I can convince some of the Mettenheim troops in Pendor to follow you, if I go amongst them for a time. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_3|Captain, I have a certain standing amongst my people. I did not mention it before, but my father is a powerful headman. I might persuade him to back your cause. str_npc_sara_kingsupport_3|Then give me leave for a few weeks, my gallant friend, and I will spin such a tales of you as will inspire the dullest lord! The encomiums I bestow upon your virtues, compassion, generosity, and indignation at the state of Pendor will win their hearts. Ahem, I may need to take a certain amount of poetic license with the details, you understand. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_3|Give me leave for a few weeks, {reg63?sir madam}, and I will let all the worthy men of this land know that you are the one to unite not just Pendor, but all the other Pendorian dominions. For according to my thinking, no one should be {reg63?king king or queen} here unless they have the capacity to rule the entirety of the realm -- and you alone have demonstrated such a capacity, {reg63?sir madame}. str_npc_diev_kingsupport_3|Allow me a couple of weeks leave, Captain. I'll stop and shoot a deer or boar in the lord's preserve on my way to Rane, host a fine dinner in the back alleys, and make sure the word gets out that you are the {reg63?king queen} who should rule Pendor! I'll drop a few hints in the merchants' ears while I'm at it, too, and that way, word will spread everywhere a Rane caravan can travel. str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_3|I do not know if I can guarantee ssuport amongsst the Cult, but I will try to convince ssome of my friends if I may take ssome leave. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_3|Though I hail from Barclay, I know a number of the knights and lords of Pendor. It would take me a few weeks to contact them all, but I feel sure that with Astraea's guidance, I can persuade them to join our cause. str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_3|Say, Captain, I might be able to give you some help with the fishing villages and the merchants. My old master is well-respected and he has a lot of friends, and of course, I know all the villagers in Jayek. Could you do without me for few weeks? I could maybe drum up some support for you. str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_3|You might remember, Captain, that I got around a lot when I had my militia, and the farmers in the Fierdsvain regarded us right highly. If I took a few weeks to visit the villages I used to protect, I know that when the farmers heard your plans, they'd back you! str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_3|Grant me some time with the Daughters of Persinoe, and I will see what support I can raise for you. str_npc_adonja_kingsupport_objection|Chief, you actually sent that drunken sot, Sigismund, off to raise support for your cause amongst farmers?! He will raise nothing but another pint, if left to his own devices. Next time we ride through a village he's visited, we'll be lucky if they don't come after us with torches and pitchforks! str_npc_leslie_kingsupport_objection|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I think it was a mistake to allow a sadistic martinet like Donavan to speak for you. Half Pendor knows of his ways of training, I'd wager, and you don't want people thinking you are like him! str_npc_ansen_kingsupport_objection|My {reg63?lord lady} you have made a serious error in sending Boadice on any sort of mission which requires diplomacy! What person of sense will listen to a haughty ex-queen who despises men? She will harm, not aid, your cause. str_npc_riva_kingsupport_objection|Captain, I could scarce believe my ears when I heard you had sent that murdering bitch Julia off to muster support for you in the Empire. She'll be lucky if the Legionnaires don't hang her from the gates of Janos. Certainly, no one will pay her any mind when she praises you! str_npc_kassim_kingsupport_objection|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi} {playername}, I overheard what you told Kaverra. Do you really think an ignorant peasant wench with a reputation for gelding her enemies is a suitable envoy for such an important mission? Amongst my people, she would be killed instantly. str_npc_lethaldiran_kingsupport_objection|Captain, I hear you've packed Ediz off to muster support for you amongst his people. Why do you even want Singalian support? They are naught but worthless slavers and mercenaries. str_npc_jocelyn_kingsupport_objection|Captain, you actually asked Diev, of all people, to aid you in gaining Ravenstern support? What possible mind will any law-abiding people pay to a cowardly poacher? You will harm your cause, not aid it, by sending such an envoy. str_npc_alistair_kingsupport_objection|Captain, I can only surmise that you have taken leave of your senses. No knight cares to be preached at by a moralizing moron as to the rightness of a rebel to rule. Sir Roland may possibly bore a few knights into token agreement, if you are lucky, assuming he gets past preaching first of Astrea and then remembering to mention your name as a possible ruler. str_npc_rayne_kingsupport_objection|Captain, to allow a doddering braggart from an enemy country the freedom to plot with his cohorts against Pendor is madness. You will rue the day you let that Mettenwiener speak for you, I'll warrant. str_npc_julia_kingsupport_objection|Centurion, you cannot have really believed that a jumped-up bandit's whore like Riva could sway the opinions of Larian nobility on your behalf. The first moment she gulps her wine and wipes her lips on her sleeve, or worse, blows her nose on it, they will know her for the parvenu she is! If you wished support amongst the bandits, she might have done some good... str_npc_frederick_kingsupport_objection|So, you sent that pretentious young ass, Sir Rayne, off to preach your virtues as potential {reg63?king queen} of Pendor, did you? Hmmph, you are a bit naive, aren't you? Not, mind you, that I miss the sound of his voice in the troop. str_npc_ediz_kingsupport_objection|Send an assassin on an errand and you assassinate your cause, Captain, which is exactly what you've done. He'll no doubt adroitly arrange things so it seems you have Noldor support, until he's ready to spring his real plan on you! str_npc_sara_kingsupport_objection|O Valiant One, you have made a grave mistake today. Who on earth would pay attention to anything a Serpent Priestess has to say? She's likely setting you up for sacrifice, not the throne. str_npc_donavan_kingsupport_objection|Captain, your tactical instincts are normally excellent, but sending that whining apology for a merchant and soldier to speak to her fellow money grubbers is idiotic. You gain nothing when you deploy an unworthy representative to plead your cause. str_npc_diev_kingsupport_objection|Could you not have found a more suitable messenger than a runaway from an evil Order? Why would you wish support from his cohorts? str_npc_alyssa_kingsupport_objection|Ssending a sslut like Ssara to sspread word of your valor and fitness to rule is inssane! She'll sspread nothing but her legss, and perhapss whisspher a word in your favor in the ear of ssome poor ssod of a lordling when she's exhausted his passion. str_npc_roland_kingsupport_objection|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I am utterly appalled that you would employ a sinful and murderous dilettante like Sir Alistair as your ambassador. That will count heavily against you, I fear! str_npc_kaverra_kingsupport_objection|I gotta tell you, Captain, sending that tribal pig Kassim to win support for your cause amongst his heathen kin is a big mistake. You know how they are - they will play every possible side against the middle and likely betray everybody they make a deal with! What do you want with D'Shar support anyhow? They'll never accept you as their Bahadur Khan! str_npc_sigismund_kingsupport_objection|What the devil were you thinking when you asked that Mystmountain savage to act on your behalf? When she's done talking to those merchants, she'll knife them in the back and steal their goods - and won't that reflect well on you? I never before took you for a fool, Captain, and I hope the problem is that you were drunk when you sent her! That I could understand. str_npc_boadice_kingsupport_objection|Captain, allowing that bookish young sprig, Ansen, to speak for you is like sending your horse to negotiate with a pack of wolves. He knows nothing he cannot read from a book. You should have sent someone wise in the ways of ruling a country, not a bookworm who fancies himself a medic. str_npc_adonja_intel_mission|I have some contacts amongst those Ravenstern merchants who don't turn up their noses and refuse to deal with the Mystmountain clans. They hear everything that's going on in their travels. I could visit a couple of them and sniff out the latest gossip for you if you like. str_npc_leslie_intel_mission|{reg63?Sir My lady}, if you're interested in the way the political winds are blowing, I could put out a few feelers amongst my merchant acquaintances in {s17}. They have to know every detail of Pendor politics so they know where to invest, buy and sell. str_npc_ansen_intel_mission|My {reg63?lord lady}, though my father refuses all contact with me, my sister and I stay in touch. She will have overheard all that is going on, as her husband is the son of another great merchanting house. I know she'd be pleased to see me and she could tell me all about the current talk amongst the great merchant houses. str_npc_riva_intel_mission|Captain, if you could spare me for a few days, I would like to look up an old comrade-in-arms in Laria, who has from time to time led a small company in the pay of the {s18}. He is a good man, the kind who speaks little and listens much. I'm sure, over a drink or two, he would let me know which way the political winds are blowing in those parts. str_npc_kassim_intel_mission|If you like, {reg63?Bahadur Bibi} {playername}, I can take a few days to visit my mother's sister's brother-in-law's family in {s17}. They own a caravanserai there, and hear the news in the {s18}. They may have some gossip about the feuds and rivalries of the D'Shar lords and clans, if that is of interest to you. str_npc_lethaldiran_intel_mission|Oi, Captain, while I am not strictly welcome in the Woods of Laria, I might be able to contact some former duelling partners of mine and pick up a bit of information as to how the Noldor feel about you. str_npc_jocelyn_intel_mission|Captain, when I escaped the Order of Eventide, I swore I'd never speak to any of my former Knightly brothers save at the end of a sword's point. Because of my respect for you, I'd be willing to contact a few of them on your behalf, and try to sway them to your cause. I cannot guarantee that they will listen, however. str_npc_alistair_intel_mission|Support from the {s18} could only improve your chances of ruling Pendor, Captain, and as you know, my family stands high in {s17}. I might see if any of my old friends might be inclined to pass on a little {s17} gossip. str_npc_rayne_intel_mission|{reg63?Sir My lady}, it has been some time since I enjoyed the civilities of {s17}, and the company of the hidden Knights of the Falcon. I could perhaps go there, and furnish you with an account of what is currently occupying the lord of {s17}. str_npc_julia_intel_mission|Centurion, I've been thinking a few of my old mates from the {s17} tavern I worked in might be glad to see me. They would never betray the city, but like me, they have no particular affection for blue-bloods or Snake worshipers, and may be willing to slip a little political gossip our way. The gentry are always falling out over one little thing or another, you know. str_npc_frederick_intel_mission|I hear that some of the Mettenheim troops are currently in the vicinity of {s17}. It would be good to hear some gossip of their exploits in Pendor; such information might benefit you as well. str_npc_ediz_intel_mission|Captain, I hear some of my cousins have hired on with the lord of {s17}. If I went there to see them, I might pick up some useful information for you about what their lord is thinking and doing. str_npc_sara_intel_mission|Oh valiant one! With your permission, I was thinking that I might pay a visit to Savador Castle. I try not to revisit old haunts very often, but I have delightful memories of a knight who serves the lord there, and I may be able to provide you some information about his lord's political leanings. str_npc_donavan_intel_mission|Captain, you'll recall I helped train the garrison of {s17}? One of their number has lately been in touch with me, and suggests that if I were to visit him, he could pass me information on events within the {s18}. I am willing to do this, if you can spare me. While it is a great disgrace to be a traitor, there is no dishonor in making use of one. str_npc_diev_intel_mission|Say, Captain, my adopted parents aren't getting any younger, and I'd like to pay them a visit. My father doubtless has heard a great deal of gossip in his travels as a caravn master, and I could likely glean some good information for you there. str_npc_alyssa_intel_mission|I sstill have ssome good friends in {s17}, Captain, who do not hold it against me that I left the Snake Cult. Sshall I go there and ssee what I might learn of {s17} for you? str_npc_roland_intel_mission|My good Captain, I've received a letter from a friend of mine who is also a Knight of the Dawn. It appears that our Barclay Order has sent a contingent of them to Pendor to aid Pendor's fight against the Snake Cult. They have just landed in {s17}. I would very much like to hear news of my former Order, and I'm sure that information would interest you as well. str_npc_kaverra_intel_mission|Captain, I've had word my granfer's failing and wants to see me. I'd like to go and see him off, if you'd permit. While I'm in Jayek I can see what the fisherfolk have to say, and also stop in to see my old master in {s17}. He likely can provide some good gossip. str_npc_sigismund_intel_mission|Captain, I've a mind to visit my old village and sink a few pints with the lads there, just get a sort of feeling for what's going on in the {s18} these days, how many raids they've had, and I'd like to see how Claire's little sister grew up. If I could take a few days leave, I'm sure I'd learn something there of benefit to us. str_npc_boadice_intel_mission|Captain, I've a wish to spend a few days on leave in {s17}. There's a, well, you see, there's a girl there... I can't seem to get her out of my mind, and I'd like to see her again. Her father's a wealthy landowner and I could probably pick up a bit of gossip for you while I was there. str_npc_adonja_fief_acceptance|You will make me the lady of {s17}? Oh, Captain, I can send for my clan and they can settle in a safe place at last and never have to raid again! str_npc_leslie_fief_acceptance|{s17} as a fief? Well, I've always run a business, not governed anything. I'd wager I could make that place yield a fair bit of revenue. I thank you, {reg63?my Lord my lady}, you are most kind to me. str_npc_ansen_fief_acceptance|{reg63?My lord My lady}, it is most generous of you to offer me {s17}. I would be pleased to hold it, and I swear to govern it kindly and justly. str_npc_riva_fief_acceptance|It is good of you to grant me {s17} as a fief and quite fitting. You will ever command the loyalty of my ancient house and always be my welcome guest. str_npc_kassim_fief_acceptance|{reg63?Bahadur Bibi}, I would be most pleased to hold {s17}. I will send word to to my kinsmen, and let them know that there is honorable gold to be earned serving under me in your armies. They will flock to fight under your banner! str_npc_lethaldiran_fief_acceptance|{reg63?Sir Lady}, I thank you for the offer of a fief. I think I'll start a school for rangers there, and train you up a Noldor force for your protection. str_npc_jocelyn_fief_acceptance|Aye, I'll hold {s17}, with thanks and loyalty to you. I swear to keep it free of Heretics and anyone else who breaks your laws. I'll also take on some new squires and begin training up some more knights for you. str_npc_alistair_fief_acceptance|You recompense me with the fief of {s17}? Thank you, Captain, I am in your debt and will serve you loyally for all my days. str_npc_rayne_fief_acceptance|{reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I wish my father were still alive to see this day. {s17} as my own holding? I hardly know what to say, other than to thank you from the bottom of my heart. str_npc_julia_fief_acceptance|You'd make me a lady, Centurion? No thanks, I'll have none of that, but if you'd title me 'Tribune'- a tribune was a servant of the people in the Old Empire - then I suppose I could bring myself to run {s17} for you. Blue-blooded malefactors and stray Snake Cultists will rue the day I take up my office there! str_npc_frederick_fief_acceptance|You grant a citizen of Mettenheim a Pendor fief? I am honored to accept. You shall see how well I hold it for you. str_npc_ediz_fief_acceptance|Well, Captain, I suppose I could settle down in {s17} and keep order there for you. I'll see if some of my clan would like to settle there with me! str_npc_sara_fief_acceptance|How generous and kind you are, O Valorous One. Allow me to express my joy at your bestowal of this signal honor upon me. Your perspicacity and judgement rival that of King Solomon, whose wisdom was hitherto unsurpassed. Ooh, this means I can have my very own stable of knights, too! I must begin, um, recruiting at once! str_npc_donavan_fief_acceptance|You do me a great honor, captain. In Barclay, a younger son has few opportunities to earn a fief of his own. Here, in Pendor, there is still the chance for a man to win with his sword what was denied him by his birth! I shall hold {s17} as your vassal, and raise an army to fight for your glory and my own honor. str_npc_diev_fief_acceptance|Well, {reg63?sir my lady}, that's gracious of you, and shows what a right one you are! A lot of the noble lords around here will think a man like me unfit to hold a fief. Those under my protection will enjoy warm houses, low taxes, and enough to eat. Damn, I wonder if hunting will be as much fun when I legally hunt in my own forests... str_npc_alyssa_fief_acceptance|Sso, I am to be a lady insstead of a Priestess? I rather like that idea, and I will enjoy my new sstatuss. My thanks, Captain. str_npc_roland_fief_acceptance|My good {reg63?Sir Madam} Captain, I do not wish to own a fief as that would go against my vows to Astraea. I could perhaps govern it for you, as your servant and that of Astraea, and endeavor to keep justice ever present there. str_npc_kaverra_fief_acceptance|By Thallo, me to be a lady, when the best I'd hoped for out of life was to be a merchant! I'll see to it that no Raider ever threatens my people, that I swear. Just you let me know when you need me to fight for you and I won't be a minute getting there, Captain! str_npc_sigismund_fief_acceptance|Well that's downright generous of you, Captain. I do believe I'll hire myself a good brewer, buy the best grain in Sarleon, set some hops to growing and in a few years, my ale will be the best in Pendor. str_npc_boadice_fief_acceptance|Captain, I thank you more than words can express. I never dreamed I'd end a landowner in Pendor when I fled Veccavia. I shall begin recruiting and training troops immediately, against the day I can take back my rightful place. str_npc_adonja_woman_to_woman|Damn, Chief, you've taught these Pendorian wimps a fine lesson, that you have, and I really enjoyed slitting open their sorry carcasses for loot! In the Mystmountains, we don't tolerate that sort of sexist bullshit - we value people for their ability and accomplishments. str_npc_leslie_woman_to_woman|So, Madam Captain, you have certainly taught these petty-minded Pendorian dolts what a woman can do, by single-handedly out-doing every man in the land. I'm proud to be part of your company - you are an inspiration to every woman in Pendor! str_npc_riva_woman_to_woman|Madam, as a lady of refinement, I should deplore your actions in this man's world or ours, but instead find that I can only rejoice at your successes. You have made me rethink what a 'woman's place' can truly be - on top of the world, or the throne of a united Pendor, if she so chooses! str_npc_julia_woman_to_woman|Hail, Centurion, I applaud your victories! You have never let your sex get in the way of victory - quite the opposite, in fact. You have used it to your advantage against those cretinous lords who try to keep women barefoot, pregnant and subservient to them. str_npc_ediz_woman_to_woman|You handle yourself well in the face of the discourtesy offered you by these fools of Pendor lords. And here, most of them cannot even write their names, while you both read and write! I faced many of the same difficulties here at first, but amongst the medical profession, it is intelligence and study which earns respect. str_npc_sara_woman_to_woman|My Valorous Captain, I have made the fact that you are a better warrior and more successful tactician than any man in Pendor a major feature of my poems and ballads about your victories. As you may recall, it was I who saved our party from the Heretics near the lake, not the strutting little lordly cocks on dunghills who ran from the fight! Women like us are exceptional and I am proud to know you. str_npc_kaverra_woman_to_woman|Hah, Captain, between the two of us, half the men in Pendor will soon be running about gelded like bull calves in spring, as they well deserve! Not that the lords are known for their cojones, anyway, let alone their brain power, mind you. str_npc_adonja_turn_against|I'm sorry that we meet like this, boss. There's no question that I owe my rise in life to you. You doubtless think me ungrateful. However, one has to follow one's destiny -- isn't that correct? str_npc_leslie_turn_against|This is a sad day. I never thought that I might meet my old captain on the field of battle. Even if I triumph, it will bring me no joy. str_npc_ansen_turn_against|Oh {playername} -- what a tragic turn our lives have taken! I can only hope that the tides of war, having made us enemies today, will one day allow us to be friends. str_npc_riva_turn_against|Aye, well... I'm not sure what to say. If we must fight, let's get it over with. str_npc_kassim_turn_against|{playername} Bahadur! I took your salt, and was well rewarded for it! However, I will remind you of an old truth -- that while a Singalian may be an ardent follower, and a devoted friend, he will never be your slave... Anyway, today I come against you with my sword raised. But I hope that one day we raise a glass together, to a friendship renewed. str_npc_lethaldiran_turn_against|It grieves me more than anything I can say to meet you like this, {playername}. I shall not dwell on the circumstances that have led us to this point. I can only hope that we may one day be reconciled. str_npc_jocelyn_turn_against|Well, captain. You made of me a great lord, and for that I am grateful. However, you did not buy me, and now that the circumstances have caused us our interests to clash, I can meet you in battle with a clear conscience. Still, I hope some day that circumstances may change again, and we may meet as friends. str_npc_alistair_turn_against|So we now we meet as enemies, and may shortly face each other over the rims of our shields. A grim day this is. Sometimes, the spinners of our fate have a dark sense of humor. str_npc_rayne_turn_against|I will not accept fault for the circumstances which have led us to become enemies. I want you to know that my conscience is clear, although my heart is heavy. str_npc_julia_turn_against|Well, it looks like the tides of fate have led me to make war on my old captain. Maybe things started to go wrong when you became my liege -- I suppose I was never much suited to vassalage. Anyway, here we are now. Maybe, when the world is changed and there are no more masters and servants, or lords and vassals, then we can meet together as friends. str_npc_frederick_turn_against|Great heaven, {reg63?laddie lassie}. So now it looks like you and I are enemies. Didn't I say that life takes us on some very strange turns? Destiny sometimes has a cruel sense of humor -- I'll say that much. str_npc_ediz_turn_against|So, it seems we must fight. I would have you know, {reg63?sir my lady}, that I have not betrayed you. I had never served you as a man, but served the principles which I believed you upheld. As you no longer uphold them, I must do my best to thwart you. But I bear you no ill will, and I hope that we can meet again some day as friends str_npc_sara_turn_against|It is sad to meet you as my enemy, Captain -- but on the other hand, to meet such a titan of the battlefield as yourself in combat is a rare privilege. Truly, the news of our contest today shall keep the bards and poets of Pendor in wine and silver for months to come, do you think? str_npc_donavan_turn_against|Well, {playername}. We meet as enemies. I confess that I have mixed feelings. It grieves me to make war on you, but if we meet in battle and I prevail, I will have defeated the worthiest foe in all Pendor, and I will know that my mastery of the military art is complete! str_npc_diev_turn_against|Ah... I have not been looking forward to this day. I just want to say that in my sight, if you'd kept your faith in me, things would never have come to this. But no doubt you see it differently. str_npc_alyssa_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_npc_roland_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_npc_kaverra_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_npc_sigismund_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_npc_boadice_turn_against|Hello, Captain! So, I guess we're enemies! One small word of warning if we end up fighting each other -- once the rage of battle hits me, I can't always account for my actions. Just know that whatever I do, it's not personal. Maybe if we both walk away from this, we can meet once more as friends? str_companion_strings_end|INVALID str_npc_siggy_to_adonja_1_a|Don't sidle up to me, you Raider wench! You will likely betray us to your Mystmountain cohorts, sure as I like ale! str_npc_adonja_to_siggy_1_a|You surly, drink-addled clod, cease calling me 'Raider Wench!' You led an amateur farmboy militia - whereas I successfully led many raiding parties. str_npc_siggy_to_adonja_2_a|I know you're just waiting to pick over all our corpses. str_npc_adonja_to_siggy_2_a|Unlike you, Commander Siggydumb, I led my raids sober, not slobbering drunk. Now piss off, you ale-sodden wanker, or I'll slit your throat! str_npc_donavan_to_leslie_1_a|Leslie, you will obey my commands in battle or suffer a flogging! I'll bare your back just as quickly as any man's for that flogging, too! str_npc_leslie_to_donavan_1_a|You are a sadistic little troll. str_npc_donavan_to_leslie_2_a|Offer me any more impudence when I give you an order, and you'll regret it. str_npc_leslie_to_donavan_2_a|Why don't you go pull the wings off a fly, drop a frog into boiling water, torture a puppy or whatever else you do for fun? str_npc_ansen_to_boadice_1_a|That cut of yours may well become infected without attention, and I am the medic for this troop and under orders from the captain to treat the wounded. str_npc_boadice_to_ansen_1_a|I tell you one final time without drawing my blade that women of my rank are not attended medically by men. str_npc_ansen_to_boadice_2_a|Madam, please cooperate with me. str_npc_boadice_to_ansen_2_a|Do not approach me again! str_npc_riva_to_julia_1_a|Julia, you will accord me the respect due my rank, or we shall come to blows. str_npc_julia_to_riva_1_a|So I am now to accord respect to a jumped up bandit's whore pretending she's a lady, am I? I think not. str_npc_riva_to_julia_2_a|I will no longer tolerate your impertinent comments to me concerning my family and my status as a lady. str_npc_julia_to_riva_2_a|We of the Empire can easily recognize low-class trash when it intrudes upon us. str_npc_kassim_to_kaverra_1_a|You are no more than an uppity peasant girl who takes pride in an action which would earn you death amongst my people. str_npc_kaverra_to_kassim_1_a|Kassim, you're naught but a caravan-raiding tribal savage. str_npc_kassim_to_kaverra_2_a|Raiding is a way of life for us. str_npc_kaverra_to_kassim_2_a|I'll have your balls for earrings if you keep blathering on about a woman's place. str_npc_kassim_to_kaverra_3_a|Beating women who talk too much and disrespectfully is also one of our customs. str_npc_kaverra_to_kassim_3_a|You'll go back to your tribe singing soprano! str_npc_ediz_to_lethaldiran_1_a|One who hides in shadows and kills in disguise is lower than a dung beetle's belly. str_npc_lethaldiran_to_ediz_1_a|You Singalians have an interesting attitude, all right. str_npc_ediz_to_lethaldiran_2_a|I challenge you to fight me and prove you have some true manhood. str_npc_lethaldiran_to_ediz_2_a|Why not avoid a direct battle and strike later from behind, when your enemy is off guard? str_npc_ediz_to_lethaldiran_3_a|Let's see if you can fight like a man, not a viper under a rock! str_npc_lethaldiran_to_ediz_3_a|Who cares what method you use to kill, if you come out ahead of the game in the end? str_npc_jocelyn_to_diev_1_a|I cannot understand why our Captain saw fit to enlarge our ranks with alley scum and poachers who ran from battle. str_npc_diev_to_jocelyn_1_a|So, you don't approve of poachers who share food with the hungry? What did you do for charity before you ran away from your Order like any coward? str_npc_jocelyn_to_diev_2_a|I don't like you, Diev, and I advise you to avoid my company. str_npc_diev_to_jocelyn_2_a|I don't give a damn what you think of me. str_npc_alistair_to_roland_1_a|I quite understand why you abandoned those Twits of the Dawn, Roland, but why must you persist in following their tenets so doggedly? str_npc_roland_to_alistair_1_a|I left the Order of the Dawn, Alistair, but I have never forsaken Astraea, nor will I. str_npc_alistair_to_roland_2_a|After all, those bonfire-addicted cretins will assuredly set you ablaze the instant they lay hands on you. str_npc_roland_to_alistair_2_a|I do not fear death. I have lived a good and virtuous life, and if the gods are just, they will welcome me based on this life I have lived. Can you say the same? Have you lived so noble a life that memories of you will live on in the hearts of those who love you, once you are gone? str_npc_alistair_to_roland_3_a|Your devotion to Astraea is misplaced and will most certainly lead to your death at the stake. str_npc_rayne_to_fred_1_a|Hah, Frederick, no wonder you call your regiment 'Forlorn Hope.' I can picture a quite forlorn lot of geezers, leaning upon their swords for support, as they lurch into battle. str_npc_fred_to_rayne_1_a|Sir Rayne, I will have you know that men of my age and experience invariably best younger, brasher knights in combat than you will ever be! str_npc_rayne_to_fred_2_a|Go and nurse your arthritis by the fire; your tales of Mettenheim's valor do not interest me. str_npc_fred_to_rayne_2_a|Would you care for a demonstration? If so, I am going to hack you to pieces! str_npc_alyssa_to_sara_1_a|SSara, your preoccupation with sseducing men is disruptive to troop disscipline. str_npc_sara_to_alyssa_1_a|So I am now to take advice on deportment from a Snake Cult Priestess? I think not! str_npc_alyssa_to_sara_2_a|Should one of our priesstesses conduct herself thussly amongst our knights, sshe would find hersself ssacrificed to Azi Dahaka possthaste. str_npc_sara_to_alyssa_2_a|How you conduct yourself amongst your murderous cult is of no interest to me whatsoever. str_npc_diev_to_adonja_1_b|Adonja, I've watched you toady to our bookish medic. Are you softening him up to get information about his father's caravans for future raids? str_npc_adonja_to_diev_1_b|By the rending claws of Vejovis, Diev, I am polite to Ansen because he offers courtesy to me, unlike some I might name! str_npc_diev_to_adonja_2_b|Nothing but scum comes out of the Mystmountains and they run like cowards from Ravenstern troops. str_npc_adonja_to_diev_2_b|We of the Mystmountains are accustomed to prejudice, but I'll not tolerate it from one who ran from battle. Drummed out of the guard for it, weren't you? Be careful who you name coward, lest the name stick to you! str_npc_leslie_to_kassim_b|You know, Kassim, in Barclay, we'd say that someone with your attitude has 'navel vison.' Your head is stuck so far up your arse, you have to peer out through your navel to see anything. Now bugger off and go annoy someone else. I'm done with listening to your sexist idiocies. str_npc_kassim_to_leslie_b|When you find yourself a concubine amongst the tents of my people, you will learn that an attitude such as yours brings death, if you are lucky; if not, removal of your tongue and a sound beating! str_npc_fred_to_ansen_1_b|You should have abandoned your hopes long since, young Ansen, as you will never make a knight. str_npc_ansen_to_fred_1_b|Sir Frederick, I realize that you have vastly more experience than I in warfare, but I wish to learn and your sarcastic comments do not aid me. str_npc_fred_to_ansen_2_b|Resign yourself to being a medic and curing the wounded and quit trying for knighthood before you are killed. str_npc_ansen_to_fred_2_b|If you wish my fighting techniques to improve, teach me! That, at least, would be constructive. str_npc_lethaldiran_to_riva_1_b|Your kind plagued the Woods of Laria for years, you bandit slut. str_npc_riva_to_lethaldiran_1_b|You Noldor scum, how dare you address me so informally? str_npc_lethaldiran_to_riva_2_b|You get from me precisely the respect and honor you merit. str_npc_riva_to_lethaldiran_2_b|You will call me Lady Riva, Lethaldiran, and ask my permission to approach me in future. If you do not, I shall make you regret your impudence. str_npc_lethaldiran_to_riva_3_b|Pretending to be of noble birth does not make you so. Your airs and graces are ludicrous. str_npc_jocelyn_to_alistair_1_b|Even when we trained together as youths, Alistair, I detested you. You were a smarmy little mawworm then and you have not improved with maturity. str_npc_alistair_to_jocelyn_1_b|I fail to see why you so stubbornly refuse to return to our ranks in the Order of Eventide. You must know, Jocelyn, that this refusal is your death sentence, which is slated to be carried out in a most unpleasant way. As you doubtless recall from our days of training together, I can almost certainly best you in a trial of arms. Do be sensible and return to the fold. str_npc_jocelyn_to_alistair_2_b|Attempt to kill me and we'll see how your dishonorable fighting techniques succeed. I shall kill you where you stand. str_npc_boadice_to_rayne_1_b|Tell me, Sir Rayne, do the Knights of the Falcon habitually recruit from amongst the ranks of stiff-necked cretins, or is becoming simply a part of your traditional training? str_npc_rayne_to_boadice_1_b|I am not, madam, a 'stiff-necked cretin,' and I'll thank you to keep such comments to yourself. A knight's dignity and honor are as important as his fighting skills, and the Knights of the Falcon excel in all. str_npc_boadice_to_rayne_2_b|Your pompous reaction utterly illustrates my point! str_npc_rayne_to_boadice_2_b|As a woman, I am sure you are incapable of understanding knightly ways, so I will waste no more words upon you. str_npc_julia_to_sara_1_b|Your constant flirting, you slut, is why I hold you in contempt. How can you lower yourself to flirt with every man you meet? str_npc_sara_to_julia_1_b|And what does a tavern bouncer know of a lady's behavior? I do not flirt, as you so crudely put it; I merely enliven this company with my wit, humor and words! str_npc_julia_to_sara_2_b|Try for a little dignity and decorum, won't you? str_npc_ediz_to_kaverra_1_b|Women do not belong on the field of battle. str_npc_kaverra_to_ediz_1_b|Don't you go telling me what a woman can and cannot do on a battlefield. str_npc_ediz_to_kaverra_2_b|Just because you wield a ludicrous weapon with an even more ridiculous name does not make you a warrior in my eyes. str_npc_kaverra_to_ediz_2_b|You bumptious piece of dung. str_npc_ediz_to_kaverra_3_b|One of our Singalian Temptresses would kill you in the blink of an eye. str_npc_kaverra_to_ediz_3_b|I can fight as well as any man! I'll demonstrate if you like. str_npc_siggy_to_donavan_1_b|I've had it with your arbitrary and unauthorized orders, Donavan, you sadistic, petty little martinet. str_npc_donavan_to_siggy_1_b|Drinking makes you even grumpier than you normally are when sober. Why don't you just shut the hell up? str_npc_siggy_to_donavan_2_b|Next time you start handing me your guff, I'll hand you something more lethal than an order in return! str_npc_donavan_to_siggy_2_b|If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it. Don't hold your breath while you wait. str_npc_alyssa_to_roland_1_b|Do tell me, Ssir Roland, ssince you desserted your Order, why does the sstench of ssanctimony still pervade your vicinity? str_npc_roland_to_alyssa_1_b|You, Madam Alyssa, are the embodiment of all I loathe. Your very voice makes my skin crawl. str_npc_alyssa_to_roland_2_b|Ssuch passion for one ssworn to virtue! str_npc_roland_to_alyssa_2_b|Were it not for our Captain, I'd have killed you long since, for your own sins and those of your cult. str_npc_alyssa_to_roland_3_b|How uncharitably murderouss you are! str_npc_roland_to_alyssa_3_b|Approach me not again, or your life is at risk. str_npc_ansen_to_adonja_c|Adonja, would you tell me of some of the Mystmountain clans' traditions and history? I know nothing about your people and would like to learn of them. str_npc_adonja_to_ansen_c|I am flattered at your interest in the Mystmountain clans, Ansen, and would be most pleased to tell you of them. We have some interesting battle chants and epic poems. str_npc_diev_to_leslie_c|I've no mind to see you go, Leslie, but you're not cut out for life in a mercenary company. One of these days, I'd like to take you away with me, maybe start a merchanting company of our own. What say you to that? str_npc_leslie_to_diev_c|You are kind to think of me, Diev, and I will consider your words, in the event we both survive this endless fighting. I am honored by your offer. str_npc_kassim_to_riva_c|Ah, Riva Bibi, I would carry you off to my people did I not fear awakening after a night of passion only to find my throat slit! I joy in fighting beside you! str_npc_riva_to_kassim_c|I thank you, Kassim, and I greatly enjoy battle when you are at my side! We make rather an effective team, I think. str_npc_julia_to_lethaldiran_c|Based on our last battle, Leth, we've much to learn from you Noldor in terms of battle technique. Thanks for covering my back. Show me that counter-move you used on the fellow trying to take me from behind, would you? str_npc_lethaldiran_to_julia_c|You, my dear, are as lovely as you are lethal, and you appeal to me on the basis of both. I would be pleased to show you that counterstrike. Is there anything else you'd like me to demonstrate to you, hmm? str_npc_jocelyn_to_boadice_1_c|Madam, with the exception of your habit of gelding your male slaves, I must say I approve of your island's customs, particularly that of training your women in warrior skills. str_npc_boadice_to_jocelyn_1_c|I thank you, Sir Jocelyn. Pity you're a man, or you would have made a fine commander. str_npc_jocelyn_to_boadice_2_c|It is good to see women so highly trained in battle as yourself. Pendor would do well to follow that one, at least, of your customs. str_npc_boadice_to_jocelyn_2_c|I am unused to accepting praise from those of your sex, but I appreciate your praise of my fighting skills. str_npc_alistair_to_alyssa_1_c|I am sure that you at least, my dear Alyssa, can appreciate the deplorable lack of decent food in Pendor. What do your snakeish confreres serve at feasts? Not roasted reptile, one assumes? str_npc_alyssa_to_alistair_1_c|Roassted reptile?! Certainly not! We prefer organically-grown vegetarian fare in the Sserpent Temple. We never eat meat; the very thought of doing sso is revolting. str_npc_alistair_to_alyssa_2_c|I fondly recall my father's feasts. He had an exceptionally skilled torturer, who could keep a victim shrieking throughout several dozen courses. From the peacock tongues through the chine of beef, their screams were quite stimulating to the appetite. str_npc_alyssa_to_alistair_2_c|I find the concept of torture during dinner parties mosst intriguing, I musst ssay. str_npc_rayne_to_ediz_c|Ediz, I did not realize that your people had such an admirable code of honor, and I am impressed by your determination to recover your own lost honor in battle. That is the way of a true knight. str_npc_ediz_to_rayne_c|I admire your fighting skills, Sir Rayne, and were you not an outlander, would welcome you into my clan as a brother. str_npc_donavan_to_fred_c|Frederick, you are a man after my own heart! Obviously, Mettenheim breeds strong, disciplined warriors who understand how to hold the line in battle. str_npc_fred_to_donavan_c|You, Donavan, have a clear understanding of the disciplines of battle. Were you in Mettenheim, in a few years you might qualify for recruitment into the Forlorn Hope. str_npc_siggy_to_sara_1_c|Sara, what say we adjourn to my tent for awhile? I'd like a private sample of your bardic skills! str_npc_sara_to_siggy_1_c|Mmm, my dear Siggy, I had no idea you were so interested in my bardic talents! str_npc_siggy_to_sara_2_c|Heh, Heh, 'Fox' is the right name for you, my girl! str_npc_sara_to_siggy_2_c|Let us indeed adjourn to your tent at our first opportunity. I have some special skills which you may enjoy! str_npc_kaverra_to_roland_1_c|I wonder why my luck turned so bad, just as I was setting up as a merchant. Don't seem fair that I should be caught by the Vanskerries before ever I sold a single bit of my merchandise. str_npc_roland_to_kaverra_1_c|Kaverra, lass, it is likely that what befell you was a trial sent you by the gods, to test your mettle. str_npc_kaverra_to_roland_2_c|I still have nightmares about those Vanskerries and what they did. str_npc_roland_to_kaverra_2_c|Astraea would welcome you, I am sure, as she would welcome any warrior who is brave and true. You have triumphed over your adversity bravely. str_npc_adonja_to_enemy_d|I look forward to slitting you open in search of hidden treasure. str_npc_leslie_to_enemy_d|All you fools want is to kill, kill, kill! Where is the point in fighting over a village burnt to the ground with nothing left but ravaged fields and dead peasants? You should die for your own stupidity. str_npc_ansen_to_enemy_d|All you fools can think of is death and dismemberment! Does no one in Pendor ever consider compromise or a parley?! str_npc_riva_to_enemy_d|Retreat now, while you have the chance. str_npc_kassim_to_enemy_d|Die, you ferengi camel-lovers! My blade hungers to bathe in your blood! str_npc_lethaldiran_to_enemy_d|Hah, you don't know what trouble you just walked into! This will be fun! Let's have at it! str_npc_jocelyn_to_enemy_d|Scum of your ilk does not merit an honorable death in battle, but we generously grant you that. Be grateful, maggots, as we slaughter you. str_npc_alistair_to_enemy_d|Your threats are puerile, and you are simply stalling in a futile attempt to postpone your death. Stop blathering and fight; your verbal saber-rattlings bore me. str_npc_rayne_to_enemy_d|Hah! We kill better men than you before we stop for breakfast in the morning. I'm hungry; hurry up and let's finish this! str_npc_julia_to_enemy_d|Start praying, you bastards, and hope your gods are ready to receive you. str_npc_fred_to_enemy_d|Hah! You will need to put up a better show than that to impress me. str_npc_ediz_to_enemy_d|The vultures shall feast on your carcasses tonight! str_npc_sara_to_enemy_d|This incident will make a most amusing ballad. Pity you will never live to hear it! str_npc_donavan_to_enemy_d|I look forward to cutting you down as you flee. str_npc_diev_to_enemy_d|Go back to whatever whorehouse you were born in, or we'll send you to hell in a heartbeat! str_npc_alyssa_to_enemy_d|Yess, let uss kill them all and sshow no mercy! They merit nothing more. Let the bloodletting begin! str_npc_roland_to_enemy_d|Come forth and be slain by our swords of righteousness. None of you will live to see the morrow! str_npc_kaverra_to_enemy_d|We're gonna kill every one of you bastids. str_npc_siggy_to_enemy_d|You worthless bastards best flee while you can. I'm coming after you! str_npc_boadice_to_enemy_d|When I'm done with you, you'll beg for death! str_npc_adonja_to_player_e|Ansen has a certain puppyish charm and I think he has a crush on me. I find him rather sweet, even though he's far from a clan ideal. I never thought to fancy a man who could read. str_npc_leslie_to_player_e|If ever we cease this fighting, Captain, I may stay on in Pendor to trade. Those towns and villages not ravaged by war would make excellent trade routes for the right merchant, who knows where to buy and sell. Diev and I might make good trading partners if events work out in our favor. str_npc_ansen_to_player_e|I have all the men patched up again, Captain. We'll need to rest for a bit before they are fit to fight again, however. How about camping for an extra day when next we stop? str_npc_riva_to_player_e|I never thought I'd grow to like a D'Shar, but Kassim is well-born and a noble soul. He is an excellent addition to the troop, Captain. str_npc_kassim_to_player_e|I am reminded of some lines from Khushal Khan Khattack, a famous D'Shar poet - 'the boy across the river has buttocks like a ripe peach, but alas, I cannot swim.' It must be all those fresh-faced peasants in the field over there which brought it to mind. str_npc_lethaldiran_to_player_e|Captain, you know I stand ready to remove any annoyance for you, particularly in our company, if you take my meaning. I know just where I'd like to start. str_npc_jocelyn_to_player_e|Sir Alistair is evil beyond all hope of redemption. His presence in this company sullies our honor, and I implore you to sack him posthaste. I feel filthy just being in his presence. There is also the matter between us of his having been despatched by his Order to kill me. I have no doubt he will attempt to do so at his first opportunity. str_npc_alistair_to_player_e|As per the Feudal Times and Reactionary Herald, the Pendor Lords know about as much about fief management as a three-year-old. One of them erected a gallows outside his village gates, to discourage banditry. Thus far, only his villagers have danced upon it, mostly for causing him petty annoyance. I'll grant you that is amusing, but it is wasteful when carried to excess. If he persists, he'll soon run-out of peasants to oppress. str_npc_rayne_to_player_e|That Veccavian woman wants a sharp lesson in common courtesy, if you want my opinion. She had the audacity to refer to me in most discourteous terms, and makes fun of my knightly honor behind my back. Were it not against my code to fight a woman, I'd teach her that lesson, I can tell you. str_npc_julia_to_player_e|I dread the day we fight the Snake Cult and my father turns up in the battle. Should that happen, Captain, I don't want it to be my hand which slays him. I have enough of my kin's blood on my hands as it is. str_npc_fred_to_player_e|Verdammnis der Holle! Mein General, the lack of military Disziplin in this... this... Gesindel! is appalling! Mein General, you must force them to behave like proper soldiers, because right now, they behave like the Gesindel they are! str_npc_ediz_to_player_e|If there were more like such as Sir Rayne in this company, I would be pleased. You should exercise more sense in the way you choose to hire, eliminating those with no fighting skills and less honor. str_npc_sara_to_player_e|Captain, I vow and declare that if any other member of this troop decides to read me a lecture on morality, I shall reach for my blade. I weary of holier-than-thou speeches from those incapable of anything else! str_npc_donavan_to_player_e|When you said your lot could use a little discipline and training, I thought I could help you. If you don't back up my authority when I give them an order, this troop will remain an undisciplined rabble! str_npc_diev_to_player_e|Whenever I think our cause is hopeless, Captain, I think about people like Leslie. She and those like her are the ones who need defending, the decent, honest folk who just want to make a living free of fear and tyranny. She gives me hope. str_npc_alyssa_to_player_e|You are too ssoft-hearted to be a proper commander. Why cater to these worthless peasantss you coddle by doing their bidding? SSack the villagess and take what you need, I ssay! str_npc_roland_to_player_e|Captain, I know you sometimes despair at the task before you, and wonder if you can succeed. Keep a stout heart. Even in this evil world, good must ultimately triumph over evil. You must never give up the fight. str_npc_kaverra_to_player_e|Captain, how's about we chase down a few more of those Vanskerry bastards? I don't have my fill of killing them yet. Don't know as I ever will, but I can try! str_npc_siggy_to_player_e|I can smell the new-turned earth in the fields of that village over there. Can't believe I miss plowing, but there it is the scent makes me a wee bit homesick. str_npc_boadice_to_player_e|When I regain the throne of Veccavi, I think I shall have to return to Pendor and impose some sensible order on this unruly society. I cannot believe they allow their men to run about ungelded and actually permit them to assume superior roles.

This one likes his wine and food far more than battle, I'd guess, and he probably has the gout. Looks like he has head lice, too. str_npc_riva_to_lord_f|Captain, you should listen to this lord.

Many come to grief through agreeing to follow a lord. str_npc_julia_to_lord_f|Captain, if we run about at the beck and call of lords, the gods only know what trouble we'll fall into! You'd do better to take them prisoner and make them dance to your own tune! str_npc_fred_to_lord_f|These Pendor lords appear always to put their own petty aims ahead of the prosperity of their fiefs.

The story below is originally published on Mainichi Daily News by Mainichi Shinbun (http //mdn.mainichi.jp). They admitted inventing its kinky features, or rather deliberately mistranslating them from the original gossip magazine. In fact, this is far from the general Japanese behavior or sense of worth. このページは、毎日新聞事件の検証のための配信記事対訳ページです。直接ジャンプして来られた方は、必ずFAQをお読みください。 ※ この和訳はあくまでもボランティアの方々による一例であり、翻訳の正確さについては各自判断してください。もし誤訳（の疑い）を発見した場合には、直接ページを編集して訂正するか翻訳者連絡掲示板に報告してください。 Pursuit of supreme buzz has ladies humming and hawing究極の快感の追及が淑女達を口ごもらせる 関連ページ Pursuit of supreme buzz has ladies humming and hawing 究極の快感の追及が淑女達を口ごもらせる 0 Pursuit of supreme buzz has ladies humming and hawing 2003,09,17 Tokusatsu Shinsengumi 10/17 究極の快感の追及が淑女達を口ごもらせる 2003,09,17 特冊新鮮組 10月17日号 1 Large numbers of Japanese woman are becoming more assertive in their demand for good vibrations, and it s hardly likely the old Beach Boys song is going to sate their urges, according to Tokusatsu Shinsengumi (10/17). 特冊新鮮組（10月17日号）に言わせると、数多くの日本人女性が極上のバイブレーションへの要求に対してより積極的に自己主張してきていて、古いビーチボーイズの歌では彼女達の駆り立てられる欲望を満たせるようなことはまずありそうにないだろう。(*1) 2 Trade in adult goods is apparently booming, especially through catalog sales that eliminate the need for a face-to-face purchase that many find embarrassing. アダルトグッズの商売は、特に大勢が恥ずかしがる対面での購入の必要性をなくしたカタログ販売を通じて急成長しているらしい。 3 Women make up a large chunk of sex aid buyers, and they also provide the know-how manufacturers are looking for when coming up with new product ideas. 女性は大人のおもちゃ購買者のかなりの部分を占めていて、新しい商品のアイデアを思いついた時はノウハウを探している製造業者に提供もしている。 4 "I d say about 70 percent of our customers are women. It s just a guess, but I d say most of them use our vibrators or dildos by themselves rather than with a partner. We can t provide accurate figures, but buyers ages range from students in their teens to the middle-aged," an adult goods manufacturing company employee we ll call Taro Yoshikawa tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. 「約70％の顧客が女性と言ってもいいでしょうね。 推測だけなんですが、うちのほとんどの女性のお得意様がバイブレーターかディルドーをパートナーと使うよりむしろ自分で使ってるんじゃないでしょうか。 正確な数字は出せませんが、購入者の年齢は十代の学生から中年までに及びますよ。」アダルトグッズの製造会社の仮名の従業員、ヨシカワタロウが特冊新鮮組に話す。 5 Yoshikawa says his company receives up to 1,000 messages a day through its website, many of the letters from women readers requesting the construction of a particular type of adult aid. ヨシカワは彼の会社は１日に最高1,000通ものメッセージをウェブサイトを通じて受け取り、この多くの女性の閲覧者からのメールは特殊なタイプの大人のおもちゃの製造をリクエストしている。 6 Women customers providing advice seems to be a common feature of the industry. アドバイスを提供する女性の顧客というのはこの産業にはよくある特徴のようだ。 7 One of the most successful adult goods on the market was developed by a company the bi-weekly only identifies as K, which got the idea from one of its female customers. この市場でもっとも売れているアダルトグッズの一つはこの隔週雑誌にはKとだけ明かされている会社によって開発され、これのアイデアは女性客の一人からもらったものだ。 8 K s Bunny Vibe Super is shaped like a regular male appendage, but also includes a protrusion on top that is shaped like a pair of rabbit ears. The trick to using the tool is upon insertion, the ears should be maneuvered so that they rock the little man in the boat, so to speak. Kのバニーバイブスーパーは普通サイズの男性にくっついている物のような形をしているが、ウサギの両耳のような形をした突起が先端についている。 この器具を使う要領は挿入すると、耳がいわばアレの中の小さなナニを揺さぶれるようにいい感じの場所に来るのだ。 9 "We get postcards from our users telling us about our products and providing us with new ideas," the boss of K tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "Frankly speaking, most of the ideas guys come up with go well beyond the realms of the imagination and are unusable. But women are basically serious when it comes to this matter. They write in with some really useful stuff. Mind you, it s probably a bit mind-blowing for the average person." 「ユーザーからうちの商品について教えてくれたり新しいアイデアを提供するハガキをもらうんです。」Kの社長は特冊新鮮組に語る。 「率直に言って、男性が考えつくアイデアは想像の範囲でなら上手くいくんですが、使い物になりません。 しかし女性はこの手の話となると基本的に真剣ですね。 彼女達は本当に実用的な物について投書してくれます。 念のため言っておきますと、普通の人にとっては多分ちょっとショッキングなものですよ。」 9 K s competitor Yoshikawa says that about 60 percent of the correspondence his company gets from customers originates from OLs, female office ladies, as the local parlance refers to them. Many, Yoshikawa, says, go into graphic detail about what they think their ideal aid should be able to stimulate. Lots ask for more of a handsoff approach. Kの商売敵であるヨシカワは彼の会社が客からもらう約60％の投書が女性の事務員を日本特有の用語で言うところの、OLからのものだと言う。 多くが理想の器具がどう刺激できるはずか彼女達が考えることについて詳細な絵で描かれてある、とヨシカワは、言う。 沢山の女性がさらに手を使わずに操作できるアプローチを求めているのだ。 10 "It seems that using your hands to work a vibrator makes it too easy to be aware that you re masturbating, which takes some of the fun out of the thrill. I suppose it makes them more aware of not being with a man they want," he says. "That s why most of the women seem to want a tool that they don t need to operate manually and can leave it in or take it out at their own discretion." 「バイブレーターを動かすのに自分の手を使うのは自分がマスタベーションをしていると非常にたやすく意識してしまうようで、これで興奮から萎えてしまいます。 これは自分が求める男性と一体になっていないんだということをより意識してしまうんだと思うんです。」と彼は言う。 「なのでほとんどの女性は手動で動かさなくてもよくて、入れたまま放っておけて、それ自身で勝手に判断して外れる器具を欲しがってるみたいです。」 11 Yoshikawa adds that while no such product currently exists, things probably wouldn t change that much even if it did. ヨシカワはそのような製品が現在存在していない一方で、もし存在しているとしても事態はそれほど変わらないだろう、と付け加える。 12 "Women s demands are ceaseless. As soon as they ve been satisfied by one thing, they start demanding something else," he tells Tokusatsu Shinsengumi. "They ll want a toy that automatically works like a tongue, or something that rubs their bottom while they re using it. It s endless. But, I suppose I shouldn t complain. It s because there re people like that in the first place that we ve even got a business going." 「女性の要求はキリがありません。 一つのものに満足したらすぐに、他のものを要求し始めるのです。」彼は特冊新鮮組に話す。 「彼女達は舌のように自動的に動くおもちゃや、自分達がそれを使っている間にお尻をなでてくれる物を欲しがるんですよ。 キリがないんです。しかし、文句を言うべきではないでしょう。 そもそもこのような人達のおかげで私達は商売を続けてられるんですから。」 13 September 17, 2003 2003年9月17日 関連ページ 元記事一覧 毎日新聞英語版から配信された記事2003年
