dlga_start quigfen_intro|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. To what do I owe your interest? dlga_start quest_offered|You seem to wish to befriend the Noldor. However, you must prove your good intentions in order to gain their trust. There is a marauding Jatu army roaming the Laria woods, attacking Noldor patrols, searching for their hidden castle. If you can defeat it, the Noldor will be very grateful for your help. What do you say? dlga_start response_success|My friends in the woods tell me you have destroyed the marauding Jatu! In addition to 3000 denars, you are now granted access to Elacrai, the hidden Noldor castle on the north shore of the lake in the woods of Laria. dlga_response_success quigfen_process_1|I'm glad to have been of assistance and will surely look for the castle. dlga_quest_offered quest_taken|Very well. I will destroy the Jatu army. dlga_quest_taken close_window|Very good. Remember that the Noldor have unique ways of expressing gratitude. dlga_quest_offered quigfen_process_1|Sorry. I don't have time for this right now. dlga_start quigfen_response_1|Hail and well met M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. I hope you have fared well since our last meeting. dlga_quigfen_intro quigfen_intro_2|You strike me as somehow out of place. Who are you and what do you do? dlga_quigfen_response_1 quigfen_process_1|I have indeed Quigfen, thank you for asking. I am here to discuss business. dlga_quigfen_intro_2 quigfen_intro_3_talk|To the point, I like that. I am called Quigfen, an odd name to your ears, of that there is no doubt, eh? As to who I am? Well, I am... a merchant of sorts. Perhaps in your language a Broker would be close to the truth of the matter. I stay here in Laria and sell Noldor goods to those who... how do we put this delicately? To those who are friendly to the Noldor and their plight. I sell arms, armor, and a variety of trinkets. I also at times broker the service of Noldor Rangers into the service of very select companies. I see that I have your interest. dlga_quigfen_intro_3_talk quigfen_process_1|Hmm... yes, I am interested. Tell me more. dlga_quigfen_process_1 quigfen_process_2|Remember, you must be on good terms with the Noldor to engage me in business. I offer you two choices. The first is to purchase from me Noldor armor and weapons. The second is to retain Noldor adventurers to fight by your side in your quest to unite this land and push back the followers of the Dark Goddess. dlga_quigfen_process_2 start|Tell me about the quest again. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_arms|I am interested in Noldor Arms and Armor. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_warrior|I am interested in hiring Noldor Adventurers. dlga_quigfen_process_2 quigfen_intro_2|What do you do again? dlga_quigfen_process_2 close_window|Neither, I must be going, perhaps later. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_process_2|It seems that the Noldor do not yet trust you enough to allow me to sell items to you. Go and improve your relationship with them and then return and we can do business. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_ending_trade|Ah, yes M'{reg63?Lord Lady}, here we are, the Noldor Emporium. dlga_quigfen_arms quigfen_arms_gem|Very well M'{reg63?Lord Lady}, do you have a Dragon Tear to open the store up with? dlga_quigfen_arms_gem quigfen_arms|Yes, here it is. dlga_quigfen_arms_gem quigfen_process_1|No, not with me. dlga_quigfen_warrior quigfen_process_2|It seems that the Noldor do not yet trust you enough to follow you in battle. Go and improve your relationship with them and then return. Perhaps then some of the Elven Warriors will join you. dlga_quigfen_warrior quigfen_warrior_gem|Very well M'{reg63?Lord Lady}. Do you have a Dragon Tear to sway the hearts of the elves to join you? Or maybe some of their rare pottery? dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose|Yes, I have Qualis Gem (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem quigfen_warrior_choose.1|Yes, I have Qualis Gem and this beautiful vase (and space for {reg24} units). dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window|Yes, but I don't want to trade it for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.1|Yes, but I don't want to trade them for now. dlga_quigfen_warrior_gem close_window.2|No, not with me. dlga_quigfen_warrior_choose quigfen_warrior_select|Excellent. Please select one of the options below. dlga_quigfen_warrior_choose close_window|Excellent, but ... there is no room in your party. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade|{reg25}x Noldor Warrior. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.1|{reg26}x Noldor Ranger. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.2|{reg27}x Noldor Maiden Ranger. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.3|{reg28}x Noldor Noble. dlga_quigfen_warrior_select quigfen_ending_trade.4|{reg29}x Noldor Twilight Knight. dlga_quigfen_ending_trade quigfen_process_2|Very good. Will there be anything else M'{reg63?Lord Lady}? dlga_start ransom_broker_intro|Greetings to you, {reg63?sir madam}. You look like someone who should get to know me. dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_intro_2|Why is that? dlga_ransom_broker_intro ransom_broker_pretalk|Ah, I know of your sort already. No need to tell me who you are. dlga_ransom_broker_intro_2 ransom_broker_info_talk|I am with the local Red Brotherhood and I broker ransoms for the poor wretches who are captured in these endless wars. Normally I travel between the interior towns and the slave markets on the coast, on commission from those whose relatives have gone missing. But if I'm out on my errands of mercy, and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two, well, there's no harm in a little speculative investment, is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell. ^^Additionally, I can let you hire some of the mercenaries we employ. In which some are veterans as well. For a lovely donation of course. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_families|What if their families can't pay? dlga_ransom_broker_families ransom_broker_info_talk|Oh, then I spin them a few heartwarming tales of life on the galleys. You'd be surprised what sorts of treasures a peasant can dig out of his cowshed or wheedle out of his cousins, assuming he's got the proper motivation! And if in the end they cannot come up with the silver, then there are always slave merchants who are looking for galley slaves. One cannot do Heaven's work with an empty purse, you see. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_prices|What can I get for a prisoner? dlga_ransom_broker_prices ransom_broker_info_talk|It varies. I fancy that I have a fine eye for assessing a ransom. There are a dozen little things about a man that will tell you whether he goes to bed hungry, or dines each night on soft dumplings and goose. The real money of course is in the gentry, and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in Pendor, their estates, their heraldry, their offspring both lawful and bastard, and, of course, their credit with the merchants. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_ransom_me|Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_me ransom_broker_info_talk|Of course. I'm welcome in every court in Pendor. There's not many who can say that! So always be sure to keep a pot of denars buried somewhere, and a loyal servant who can find it in a hurry. dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk ransom_broker_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_start ransom_broker_talk|Greetings. If you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you. Or I could organize some mercenaries, if needed. dlga_ransom_broker_pretalk ransom_broker_talk|Very well, if you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you. Or I could organize some mercenaries, if needed. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_rumors|Have you heard any rumors of interest? (Must pay 10 denars) dlga_ransom_broker_rumors ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus|{s3} -- Which reminds me - I have an opportunity to discuss if you are interested. dlga_ransom_broker_rumors ransom_broker_post_rumor|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troops|Perhaps, what is this opportunity? dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus close_window|No, I must leave now. dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troops ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response close_window|Yes, here are {reg41} denars, and I will take these people off your hands. dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor_bonus_troop_response close_window.1|{s3} dlga_ransom_broker_post_rumor ransom_broker_pretalk|Very good, thank you. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_sell_prisoners|Then you'd better bring your purse. I have got prisoners to sell. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_all|I want to sell all my prisoners. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_intro_2|Tell me about what you do, again? dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_ransom_companion|I wish to ransom one of my companions. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose|Whom do you wish to ransom? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum|{s4} dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose ransom_broker_pretalk|Never mind dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify|Let me check my ledger, here... Yes. Your friend is being held in the dungeon at {s7}. How interesting! I remember hearing that the rats down there are unusually large -- like mastiffs, they say... Now... For the very reasonable sum of {reg5} denars, which includes both the ransom and my commission and expenses, we can arrange it so that {s5} can once again enjoy {reg4?her his} freedom. What do you say? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept|Here's your money. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse|I can't afford that right now. dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept ransom_broker_talk|Splendid! In a few days, I would think, you should find {s5} riding to rejoin you, blinking in the sunlight and no doubt very grateful! Is there any other way in which I can help you? dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse ransom_broker_talk|Of course, of course... Never mind what they say about the rats, by the way -- I've never actually seen one myself, on account of the pitch-black darkness. Anyway, I'm sure that {s5} will understand why it's important for you to control expenditures. Now... Was there anything else? dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1|Mercenaries you said? dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1 close_window|Indeed, the mercenaries I'm in contact with will work for admirable pay. Unfortunately, you have no space in your party. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_1 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2|Yes, indeed. ^^Yes, indeed. Hmm... You wouldn't by any chance have a gold bar in your inventory? If so, I can put it to far better use. A gold bar will convince mercenary captains I know to let you hire some of their best troops, but the price will remain high for them. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3|It just so happens that I do. [hand over gold bar] dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3.1|I don't seem to have any gold bars on me this moment. [lie] dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 close_window|I do have a gold bar. However, I feel that I can't part with it right now. Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3.2|No, I don't have any gold bars on me. Let's focus on those mercenaries you were talking about. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_2 close_window.1|I have to go. Goodbye. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_3 ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4|I've reached out to one of my mercenary captain contacts who would be willing to let you hire {reg45?{reg34} men one man} for the price of {reg43} denars. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window|This deal is fair. Here is your {reg43} denars. Have them meet me outside the town. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window.1|Though this is a fair deal, it is such that I do not wish to spend this many denars. Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_common_mercenaries_4 close_window.2|That is way too much! Farewell. dlga_ransom_broker_talk ransom_broker_special|What else do you offer? dlga_ransom_broker_special ransom_broker_special_1|I have amassed a surplus of stripped clothing of all those who have passed in my care. Most of it is ragged and torn, however I have some from ladies who were unfortunate to be traded. dlga_ransom_broker_special_1 ransom_broker_special_2|Actually I am looking for a gift for my lady. Show me what do you have. dlga_ransom_broker_special_1 close_window|Maybe next time. dlga_ransom_broker_special_2 ransom_broker_special_3|They're in the back, follow me. dlga_ransom_broker_special_3 ransom_broker_talk|Anything else? dlga_ransom_broker_talk close_window|Not at this time. Good-bye. dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what do you have... dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_all ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|I will be staying here for a few days. Let me know if you need my services. dlga_start tavern_background_talk|Greetings, friend. You look like the kind of {reg63?man person} who'd do well to know me. I travel a great deal all across Pendor, and keep an open ear for interesting information that you may find useful.^^ {s9} dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1|Yes, I will take on these two Bounty Hunters. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.1|No, that will not be necessary, thanks anyway. dlga_tavern_background_talk tavern_traveler_rumors_end1.2|Thank you kindly for the tip.

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

That was all I needed to know dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|Well, you probably know everything I could tell you already. You seem to be doing pretty well. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a|The kingdoms will pay good money for mercenaries if they are engaged in a war. If you have done a bit of fighting, speaking with one of their lords will probably result in being offered a mercenary contract. However the real rewards come if you can manage to become a vassal to a king. A vassal can own villages, castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally, only nobles of the realm own land in this way, but in time of war, a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg63?himself herself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg63?him her} the right to own land. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a Pendorian king altogether, declare themselves kings, and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path, however, as the great nobles of the land, with their long ancestries, are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule, or they would be set upon from all sides. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5|It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival. There are many such pretenders in Pendor -- those who are born to the right family, who go around and stir up trouble saying they have a better claim to the throne than the current king. If those claim holders could find supporters, they could easily start civil wars and perhaps even replace the king one day. dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5 tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6|Interesting.

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

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

It is short enough to be easily learned. It is an allegoric poem, replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry, becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- is appreciated by some noble ladies, but not all. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.1|I can teach you the poem, 'The Heart's Desire.' It is a lyrical poem, which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to women of a certain romantic temperament, but you risk scandalizing or boring others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.2|I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other, but they can never marry. The poem is Kais' lament as he wanders alone, unwilling to forget his true love, driving himself mad with longing. Some ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows; others glaze over at his self-pity. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.3|I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara. It is a heroic tale, full of blood and battle. The shieldmaiden Kara chooses the warrior Helgered as her lover, as he is the only man who can defeat her in combat. Her father, who pledged her to another, comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight, and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who, alas, grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. The depiction of warrior and shieldmaiden as equals will appeal to some women, but a mail-wearing, blood-spattered heroine will shock and repulse others. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.4|I can teach you the poem, 'An Argument in the Garden' It is a comic poem, which satirizes the conventions of courtly love. A lover steals into a garden in Ethos, and plies his lover with lots of witty lines to persuade her to submit to his embraces. She shoots down all of his advances one by one, then when he is downcast, she takes him in her arms and tells him that she wanted him all along, except on her terms, not his. A lady with a sense of humor may find it amusing, but others might feel that they are the ones being mocked. dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2|To teach it to you, I will need some hours of your time -- and, of course, a small fee for my services.

In Pendor, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Of course, this does not apply for their sons. The sons are lords and commanders who will be seeking suitable wives. A lady such as yourself will find it hard to marry a suitable husband, but if you persevere and are lucky you will find a good husband among the nobility. dlga_minstrel_nobles minstrel_nobles_2|Nobles are an odd lot. In Pendor, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman, and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart. dlga_minstrel_nobles_2 minstrel_nobles_3|Fathers differ, of course. Some Pendorian nobles will let their daughters choose a husband who pleases them. Others, however, feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority, and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not. dlga_minstrel_nobles_3 minstrel_prequestions|But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom, but will weigh their daughter's preferences heavily. Among other factors, a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So, there is a place for courtship, and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_daughter_father|What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor? dlga_minstrel_daughter_father minstrel_daughter_father_2|It happens sometimes that a lord's daughter elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige, leading to lasting enmities. Indeed, it is possible that a war may be fought over a forbidden marriage. Now, that is a fine topic for a song. dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2 minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most daughters will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk disapproval for the sake of an unknown suitor. One may pine for a lover, but yet obey parental orders -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about? dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Pendorian lords make a great deal of lineage, but in the end, lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner, if you are coming up in the world, then many parents will consider you a fine catch. dlga_minstrel_player_role_2 minstrel_player_role_3|You will have to compete with many others of the realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these {reg63?ladies lords} from childhood, and will have been sized up as {reg63?grooms brides} by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some {reg63?ladies lords} may be fascinated by the strange, yet opt for the familiar. dlga_minstrel_player_role_3 minstrel_prequestions|Keep this in mind -- you may well break your heart in pursuit of love. However, refusing to love for fear of heartbreak is like refusing to lead your men into battle from fear of the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off ignorant lords' snotty little comments, and victory shall surely be yours. dlga_minstrel_player_role minstrel_female_player_3|Milady, I must speak candidly. Many of the lords of this land are traditionalists, not to say chauvenists, ha ha. They look only for a pretty little twit with demure manners and skin as fair as snow. They would feel threatened by a warrior maid who looks them in the eye as an equal; one who may well be smarter and more skilled at combat than they are. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells, not a woman who can fight bravely beside them, with a voice hoarse from commanding men successfully in battle. Most lords seeking to marry will want heirs, and a warrior woman such as yourself may not wish to give up conquest to furnish her lord an heir. dlga_minstrel_female_player_3 minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will prove so foolishly blind to the advantages of marriage to a warrior lady with battle renown. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed a chance for love. You must work to find a devoted husband who can accept your ways, but that is by no means impossible here in Pendor, as it assuredly would be in a more backward land. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg63?wife husband}? dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family, and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage. dlga_minstrel_wife_benefits_2 minstrel_prequestions|What's more, most of the great families of Pendor have at some point intermarried with royalty, which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it... dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits minstrel_wife_benefits_2.1|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties, and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet minstrel_player_advice_meet_2|Every so often, a king or great lord of Pendor will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. These feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters, and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet_2 minstrel_prequestions|If you have the opportunity, you may attempt to pay the lady a compliment. This indicates to her that you are a potential suitor, and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally, if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt, then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo minstrel_player_advice_woo_2|To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience, and several meetings spaced over a period of months. A lady who is interested in you will often find ways of letting you know if she wishes you to come visit her. Alternately, you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian, it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_2 minstrel_player_advice_woo_3|Having arranged an assignment, you may then attempt to charm her and win her favor. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this is finding a topic of conversation. Most Pendorian noblewomen lead a cloistered life, at least until they are married, and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand, she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_3 minstrel_player_advice_woo_4|One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem, and discuss it. This way, you are both on an equal footing, and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course, different ladies will have different tastes in poetry. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_4 minstrel_player_advice_woo_5|At some point, you will be able to discuss directly the issue of marriage. She will then let you know if you measure up to what she wants in a husband. Some ladies will coolly assess who is the most prestigious of her suitors, others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions, to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal, while others will follow the lead of their fathers. dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_5 minstrel_prequestions|At any rate, it is a challenging business -- and do not forget, you may find that your suit prospers with a lady, only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately, are you willing to throw away your standing in society, to make enemies of allies, in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are, then perhaps some day we will write poems about you. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_job_description|What is it that you poets and musicians do, again? dlga_minstrel_job_description minstrel_courtship_prequestions|I compose and write songs for the lords of the land, and their ladies. Sometimes I sing about war, sometimes about the virtues of kings, and sometimes, for the more sophisticated audiences, about the virtues of wine. For most audiences, however, I sing of love. dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2 minstrel_pretalk|No, that is all. dlga_minstrel_prequestions minstrel_courtship_questions_2|Do you have any other questions? dlga_minstrel_pretalk minstrel_1|Is there anything else? dlga_start farmer_from_bandit_village_1|{reg63?My lord Madam}, you look like a {reg63?man lady} of the sword and someone who could help us.

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

Most of the time, the most profitable thing for you to do would be to let us buy raw materials and sell the finished goods directly to the market. Because of our longstanding relations with the local merchants, we can usually get a very good price. dlga_master_craftsman_production_options_2 master_craftsman_pretalk|However, if you find that you can acquire raw materials cheaper outside {s5}, you may place them in the inventories, and we will use them instead of buying from the market. Likewise, if you feel that you can get a better price for the finished goods elsewhere, then you may ask us to deposit what we produce in our warehouses for you to take. dlga_master_craftsman_talk master_craftsman_auction_price|It will no longer be possible for me to continue operating this enterprise. dlga_master_craftsman_auction_price master_craftsman_auction_decide|A pity, my {reg63?lord lady}.

Given your relationship with our liege, {s4}, I think that you will not find many here who are brave enough to sell you any land. dlga_mayor_investment_possible mayor_pretalk.2|Well...

In order to make a profit for yourself, you should choose a commodity which is in relatively short supply, but for which the raw materials are cheap.

The land and the materials on which you may build your {s3} will cost you {reg7} denars.

He owns the castle and sometimes resides there, and collects taxes from the town. However we regulate ourselves in most of the matters that concern ourselves. As the town's guildmaster I have the authority to decide those things. dlga_mayor_info_lord mayor_info_talk.1|Ahh... {reg63?M'Lord M'Lady}? Unless something happened of which I am completely unaware, which I assure you is most certainly not the case, you are the beloved and belelovent liege of this town. Your word is law and your arm protects us. dlga_mayor_info_talk mayor_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks. dlga_mayor_political_talk mayor_political_questions|Politics? Good heavens, the guild has nothing to do with politics. We are loyal servants of {s10}. We merely govern our own affairs, and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters, and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway, what did you wish to ask? dlga_mayor_prepolitics mayor_political_questions|Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else? dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_war_description_1|What is the cause of all these wars in Pendor? dlga_mayor_war_description_1 mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the rightful heir to the old Pendorian emperors. Some of these claims are based on forgotten dynastic marriages and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} invoke the empire's unwritten constitution. So in theory, any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time. dlga_mayor_war_description_2 mayor_war_description_3|In practice, to make war is exhausting work. It is easy enough to lay waste to the enemy's farmland, but crops will grow back, and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of Pendor will fight a little, sign a truce, fight a little more, and so on and so forth. Often, a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times, some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution, and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10}, as no one would ever question {reg4?her his} authority dlga_mayor_war_description_3 mayor_war_description_4|I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters, as a loyal subject, I would tell {reg4?her him} that while {reg4?her his} claim to all of Pendor is truly just, even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men, and armed men want money, and money comes from trade, and war ruins trade, so sometimes the best way to push a claim is to not push it, if you know what I mean... dlga_mayor_war_description_4 mayor_prepolitics|You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion, of course, as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her his} legitimate claims. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_politics_assess|What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other realms of Pendor? dlga_mayor_politics_assess mayor_politics_assess_realm|Which realm did you have in mind? dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment|{s11} dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you. dlga_mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment mayor_prepolitics|{s14} dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_internal_politics|What can you say about the internal politics of the realms? dlga_mayor_internal_politics mayor_internal_politics_2|Well, here in the {s4} we are all united by our love for {s5} and support for {reg4?her his} legitimate claim to the rulership of all Pendor. But I have heard some talk of internal bickering in other realms... dlga_mayor_internal_politics_2 mayor_internal_politics_3|The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor, strategy, and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition, they compete with each other for the ruler's favor, and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand, how their friends and family stand, and how their enemies stand. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_3 mayor_internal_politics_4|Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege, and pledge vassalhood to another. In theory, each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage, but in practice, a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain, to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or, the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper, and another has a better claim to the kingship. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_4 mayor_internal_politics_5|Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel, he may indict the vassal for treason and seize his properties. Likewise, if a vassal fears that he will be indicted, he may rebel. Usually, whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses. dlga_mayor_internal_politics_5 mayor_prepolitics|Now, men do not trust a vassal who turns coat easily, nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough, things can become very tense indeed... In other lands, of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}. dlga_mayor_political_questions mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job merchant_quest_about_job_2|What about it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_what_if_fail|What if I can't finish it? dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2 merchant_quest_about_job_working|Well, I'm still working on it. dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_working mayor_pretalk|Good.

I think I might have something you could do. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_looters_choice|We've had some fighting near the {s5} lately, with all the chaos that comes with it, and that's led some of our less upstanding locals to try and make their fortune out of looting the shops and farms during the confusion. A lot of valuable goods were taken. I need somebody to teach those bastards a lesson.

You'll find the looters roaming around the countryside, probably trying to rob more good people. Kill or capture the bastards, I don't care what you do with them. I'll pay you a bounty of 200 denars on every band of looters you destroy, until all the looters are dealt with. dlga_merchant_quest_requested merchant_quest_explain_2|Well, there is a very great favor which you could do us ... As you may have heard, some {s10}s have come across the border to attack our people. {s5} is under great pressure from some of the more bellicose of his vassals to respond with a declaration of war. Unfortunately, while the great lords of this land grow rich from bloodshed, we of the commons will be caught in the middle, and will suffer. dlga_merchant_quest_explain_2 merchant_quest_brief|We are not saying that {s5} should overlook this aggression - far from it! But if he charges one of his own lords to respond, then the cycle of provocation will necessarily lead to a full-fledged confrontation. Now, if an outsider were to step in and defeat a {s10} lord in battle, then honor would be done, and it would defuse the clamor for war. If the defeated lord were a known troublemaker - {s7} - then the {s10}s might be able to overlook it. dlga_merchant_quest_brief merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm|We need such an outsider to attack and defeat {s7}. This will not be an easy task, and that outsider would damage {reg63?his her} relationship with the {s10}s, but we would be very grateful. We could not acknowledge a connection with that outsider, but we could be sure that {reg63?he she} would be handsomely rewarded ... Could you think of someone that would do this? dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief|Aye, I am sure I can think of someone. dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm merchant_pretalk|I would prefer not to get mixed up in such things dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice|The raiders are likely to have laid up their ships in a well-concealed cove, somewhere along the coastline, preferably next to a small stream where they have some water.

Otherwise all those magnificent beasts will end up in a delicious stew.^^I think we should hire someone with vast knowledge on horses. The Jatu, I believe they are called, would be a good start. They're famous for their knowledge about horses. It may be quite deadly trying to speak with members of the patrolling warbands, but I heard that sometimes {s4} can be found in the taverns.

During the construction, workers discovered some remains of what once was a large storage room. The foundation was quite bad. Inside they found an assortment of items. You can see what we found laying on that table behind me. One is this old horse armor that is uniquely shaped. However, what is even more important, is that it's made out of unusual metal lightweight and strong. I remember that my master once mentioned about a rare ore, which was almost impossible to find. It ran between veins of ebony ore and once it's nature was discovered, was only acquired by royalty. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_3 camp_blacksmith_welcome_4|That is interesting. Is this armor still usable? dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_4 camp_blacksmith_welcome_5|Armor is in quite good shape, but it would require some work to restore it to its former glory. ^^There is a bigger problem though. It seems that this piece of equipment was made to fit a very large horse breed, not like the ones we have around here. I adjusted the armor as much as I could, but even after that I couldn't find a single horse that could wear it. dlga_camp_blacksmith_welcome_5 close_window|You have mentioned that items made out of this metal were used only by royalty. It is most likely that they have had special horses as well, worthy to wear such a rare barding.

Wasn't easy or cheap to get him, as only a few pedigrees have survived up to this point. ^^Some evidences suggest that the barding found here was made for this pedigree. What do you think? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_2 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3|Before I answer your question, Commander, let me do a few measurements. I know exactly where the previous horses failed, so it shouldn't take long. dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_3 camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4|And? dlga_camp_blacksmith_quest_ha_4 close_window|This steed and the barding matches almost perfectly! ^^Armor is nearly restored and only few small alterations are needed.

I fear we may soon expect grave news from Amala, foreboding a great invasion.^The task at hand for us, however, remains the destruction of the Snake Cult stronghold.

The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers - fewer men to keep an eye on the streets.

Last week, you see, they took my young sister. dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1 merchant_quest_1_prologue_2.1|Those damnable Mystmountain Raiders appear when least expected and vanish back into their mountains without a trace.

I wouldn't worry so much about it if she weren't my first wife's younger sister. She won't stop nagging me until I recover her little sister and the caterwauling in the women's quarters is driving me insane.

But, he's my own blood, after all. If I can't protect my kin, people will start thinking that I can't protect my investments, either, and I can't have that.

Our proud warrior women captives are sold at auction by Ramun in Singal, and we cannot enter Pendor cities to ransom them. The Pendor lords immure them in their towers and use them as sex slaves. This is intolerable to us! Sarleon ever threatens us and most of the Knightly Orders despise us. The Noldor have never been accepted by the rest of Pendor.

With all these extra strings needing to be pulled, I may be able to reduce the production time by a third for {reg33} denars. ^^Shall I do that, Grandmaster? dlga_order_blacksmith_speedup_2 order_blacksmith_speedup_3|Yes, spare no expense and arrange everything needed. dlga_order_blacksmith_speedup_2 close_window|I think it's best to wait for now. dlga_order_blacksmith_speedup_2 close_window.1|I can't afford all that currently.

My name is Alexios and I come from Melitine in Amala.^I've traveled to Pendor to put my smithing skills to good use - there is no other that can best me in the secrets of steelworking, if I say so myself. You are welcome to take advantage of my talents, even if I'm busy forging beautiful new pieces for our best knights. dlga_order_blacksmith_player_response_player close_window|Your reputation precedes you, master Alexios.

Hmm, your {s10} {s9}.^I'll need {reg1} days to work in my enhancements.

As your Quartermaster I'm in charge of supplying our forces, a hard task now that we are teeming with new recruits.^I do have a fine selection of delicacies for our high-ranking officers, and you are most welcome to peruse my offerings, including lesser food for your soldiers - they need not go hungry on a siege ever again! dlga_start order_quartermaster_player_response.1|Ah yes, we just received more bread - did you know there's a Pendor-wide shortage?

英単語 学年別 http //www.eigo-duke.com/tango/chu1.html ①英語の文の特徴 １．主語＋動詞＋～ または 命令文 （主語がない） ※その文の動詞は１つしかない→動詞が分かれば、それより前は主語となる ２．動詞が主語と時制（現在過去未来）によって形が変わる ※主語が単数か複数かどうか、動詞の形、時間に関する単語をチェックする ３．一度出てきた単語や同じ単語は別な単語に言い換えることが多い ※人→he、she 物→it 複数→they ②動詞 １．be動詞 am are is was were be の６つ ２．一般動詞（be動詞以外のすべての動詞） ※文には１つしか動詞がない。be動詞か一般動詞どちらかが必ず1つだけある。 ※動詞は主語と時制（現在過去未来）によって形が変わる ③単数と複数 2人（２つ）以上の人、物の時には動詞や単語が変化する １．人の場合 I 私 we 私たち you あなた you あなたたち （変わらない） he 彼 they 彼ら she 彼女 they 彼女ら ※heやsheは2人以上になるとどちらもtheyになる ２．物や普通の単語の場合 ※単語の最後にsやesをつける a book → two books my brother →my brothers box → boxes ※many たくさんの、some いくつかの→複数だから最後にsがつく ※many books 、some bikes ④主語とbe動詞の関係→主語によって使うbe動詞が決まっている ※be動詞を見れば主語がどんな物か分かる １．現在形でのbe動詞 am are is の3種類しかない 主語 I の時 am 、you のとき are I でもなくてyouでもなくて「単数＝1人」の時 is を使う 「複数＝2人（2個）以上」の時は全部areを使う ※1人、1個の時はI you以外なら全部 isを使う ※my sister は「私」ではないからisを使う。your book は「あなた」ではないからisを使う ※your cars はcarにsが付いて居るから複数→areを使う ２．過去形でのbe動詞 was wereの２つしかない am is の過去形→ was areの過去形→were 主語が Iの時 was you の時 were I でもなくてyouでもなくて「単数＝1人」の時 was を使う 「複数＝2人（2個）以上」の時は全部wereを使う ※1人、1個の時はI you以外なら全部 wasを使う ※my sister は「私」ではないからwasを使う。your book は「あなた」ではないからwasを使う ※your cars はcarにsが付いて居るから複数→wereを使う 問題１：次の単語が主語の時に使うbe動詞 am are isのどれかを答えなさい。 ※単数か複数か、名詞の複数形に注意する (1) Mr. Kato (2) my books (3) an apple (4) Tom and Mike (5) the student (6) the member of soccer team (7) today (8) your brothers (9) Tokyo (10) I and you ⑤be動詞を使う文 １．～は～です。 ～は～に居る。 ２．be ～ing 進行形 （～しています。～していました。） ３． be going to （未来形） ～するつもりです。 ４． There is(was)、There are(were) ～がある。 ※それぞれ文の意味は違うが全部be動詞を使うので、疑問文、否定文の作り方は同じになる。 ⑤－１：be動詞の肯定文 １．This is a pen. これはペンです。 ２．He is studying English. 彼は英語を勉強しています。（進行形） ※studying はもともはstudyで動詞だがstudyingになると動詞ではなくなる。 ３．I am going to visit Tokyo tomorrow. 私は明日、東京を訪問するつもりです。（未来） ※主語の次が動詞だからgoing、visitはこの文の動詞ではない。 ４．There are five balls in this box. この箱の中にボールが５個あります。 ※「５個のボール」で複数だからareを使う。 ⑤-２：be動詞の否定文：be動詞のすぐ後ろにnotを入れる。（他はいじらない） １．This is not a pen. これはペンでではありません。 ２．He is not studying English. 彼は英語を勉強していません。（進行形） ※be動詞＋～ingで進行形のかたまりだがnotはbe動詞のすぐ後ろ ３．I am not going to visit Tokyo tomorrow. 私は明日、東京を訪問するつもりではありません。（未来） ※be going toで未来のかたまりだがnotはbe動詞のすぐ後ろ ４．There are not five balls in this box. この箱の中にボールが５個ありません。 ⑤－３：be動詞の疑問文：be動詞を主語の前に持ってくる（他はいじらない）→be動詞で答える １．Is this a pen? これはペンですか。 Yes,it is.

No,I am not. ４．Are there five balls in this box. この箱の中にボールが５個ありますか。 Yes,there are. No,there aren t. ※there is(are)の文はthereで答える ⑤－４：be動詞まとめ １．進行形やbe going toの未来は意味はまったく違うが、文の形はbe動詞の文だから同じ ２． １の理由からbe動詞の文だと分かれば、肯定文→否定文などの書き換えは文の意味が分からなくてもできる。 ⑥単語の言い換え：疑問文の答え方や１回出てきた単語は言い換える（①の３を見る） １．単数の時（１人、１個） 男の人１人＝he 女の人１人＝she 物１個＝it ※Iでもyouでもheでもsheでも無いもの全部 ２．複数の時（２人以上、２個以上） 私と誰か＝私たち＝we あなたとだれか＝あなたたち＝you 私、あなた以外の誰かが２人以上＝彼ら、彼女ら＝they 物 ２個以上＝それら＝they ※人、物どちらも複数の時はtheyになる 問題２：次の単語を言い換えた時に he she it we you theyの中から適切なものを選びなさい ※単数、複数の違い、私、あなたは入っているかどうか (1) Mr. Kato (2) my books (3) an apple (4) Tom and Mike (5) Kumi (6) the member of soccer team (7) I and Bob (8) your brothers (9) Tokyo (10) you and Ken 問題３：次の文の()に適切なbe動詞(am are is)を入れてさらに否定文に書き換えなさい。 ※be動詞の否定文の作り方 (1) Ken ( ) from Osaka.

Stay focused, Zoë! That s it! Keep it up! Garmon Koumas Welcome to best shop in Venice. Anything you looking for, I provide. I need to pick a padlock. Maybe this guy can get me a lockpick? Oooh, very exciting. Breaking into private property? Very good, very good. No explanation needed. I m not telling anyone. But sorry, can t help you. All sold out of lockpicks. I thought you said you can provide anything except for drugs? Hah! You re very funny girl. I like you. It s refurbished, but good as new. In fact, better than new. Can pick most locks made in past fifteen years. I ll take it. How much? Wait, wait. May look like charitable old fool, but this not cheap. Only one I got. You good customer...but lockpick more valuable than money in Venice. I wasn t really thinking. I― Look at me, I m shaking! No fight That s just the adrenaline. It s perfectly normal. Not for me. It s not every day that someone tries to kill me. I wasn t thinking. I m...I knocked someone out. Me! I ve never hit anyone in my life. You did what you had to do. You defended yourself. I don t know about you, but I usually don t have people trying to kill me. They weren t trying to kill you. They were trying to kill me. I m Zoë Castillo. Are you Helena Chang? That s not― Castillo? I see. I came by to pick up a package for a friend of mine. Jericho. Jericho? I told him I wouldn t give the package to anyone but him. He couldn t make it. Didn t he tell you? I never got that message. Maybe it was intercepted. That would explain a lot... Look, I don t like this. Those people who tried to...to kill you, are they looking for Rez― for Jericho, too? I wouldn t know. But I need to leave right now. Here, take this. Next time, you buy something! I don t want any drugs. Look, I m new to this place, and I m wondering if you― No shit. You fit right in. Now, what can I get you? Don t talk to me like that. Who are you? I don t appreciate being cursed at Who am I? Who am I? I m the fucking supervisor, that s who! Now who the fuck are you? I told you, don t talk to me like that. Fuck you! I m looking for a friend of mine. A friend . Well, does he work here? cause I m telling you right now, everyone s signed a contract, it s all legit, and nobody s leaving. No, he doesn t work here. So what the fuck makes you think you ll find him here? He s a reporter. He was researching a story. Reporter Tell the whole story A what? A reporter? A fucking reporter? What the hell kind of story is he writing? This is private property...and everything s legit! He s breaking a big story. If I were you, I d take a good look around and consider my options. If you re involved in something illegal... Are you sure about that? Why would a reporter be interested in this...enterprise if nothing illegal s going on? It s legit. It s legit! Ah, you back. What you need now? Surprise, surprise, she s back. So you need something? Oh, sorry, before I forget... Dad s out of town, and I m having some people over tonight. Would you like to come? Invitation Invite Olivia to a party I was going to unpack a new delivery tonight but...sure! Work can always wait. Who s coming? The usual suspects. Great. Sounds fun. How about Reza?

My work release will be revoked. I m not going back inside. I m Zoë. Courteous I should try and calm him down You a friend of Vinnie s or something? I told him not to let his girls wander around. Ary Kinryn Peats Sam Gilmore Uh, okay. Sorry for bothering you. Before Merchant You re not the only thing bothering me. I m getting that. Goodbye now. If you could take this traffic jam with you, I d be even happier to see you go. If that s even possible. After Merchant May the Six grant me strength! As if this morning hasn t been trying enough. What do you want, girl? On second thought, don t tell me. I m not in the mood for idle chatter. Magicals...hah! Damned ghetto rats. And those rebels? More like terrorists, if you ask me. What? No. That s... Hmm. All right. It s irregular, but I reckon I can part with it. For a fair price. He said it s been paid for already, and that you d probably try to weasel more money out of me. For the love of―! Just tell him we ll sort it out when I get down there. I m sorry, but he said he needs the spices right away. He s out of stock. I keep hearing this buzzing sound in my ear, but I don t see any blackflies around. Only...you. I m stuck here for half the morning, my back s aching, and now it seems I can t get you to leave me alone. They should stick them on a boat and send them out to sea, so as they don t bother honest humans trying to make an honest living. Call themselves freedom fighters , the terrorists do, but it s because of them that I m stuck here. Again. In fact, life s a damn sight better than it was before they came. If this is oppression, I don t want to be liberated. I tell you, I m just about to run out of patience. If I don t get to the market today... The innkeeper at the Journeyman sent me to pick up an order of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . It s for― I need to get the innkeeper s spices ―mulled wine! Yes! Oh, Benrime boils the best cauldron in town, she does. Absolutely wonderful. There s a tiny, tiny problem. Nothing major, nothing that can t be solved. Why it s, heh, it s barely worth mentioning! Well, then you ve certainly come to the right place! I sell spices, and little else. I really need those spices. Can t I get them anywhere else? There must be another place to get spices in this city Where there s a will - or, you know, a spell - there s always a way...except in this case. How delayed is "quite a bit"? Quite a bit ? I m sure it won t take more than (cough) a few hours. Mission I really do need those spices. Like now. I wish I could be of more help, young lady, but as long as the ghetto s closed, the carriages are stuck in Burrow Crook. I guess it beats waiting around. Accept I don t really have a choice Fantastic! You ll want to speak with Ary Kinryn. He s a bearded fellow, a tad ornery, but a decent fellow at heart. Guy with a beard, wagons, Burrow Crook. Okay. I ll try my best. Uh, no, I don t have time to run errands. I m sorry. Decline I don t think it s a good idea for me to start running errands Of course, you have more important things to do! Wonderful! Best of luck to you, young lady! You re back! How wonderful it is to see you again so soon! Back again? What a delightful and absolutely wonderful surprise! Fantastic! Wonderful, wonderful... What offer was that again? Reconsider I don t have any choice - I need to help this guy get his spices I spoke with Blind Bob, but he wouldn t tell me anything. Wine Maybe Benrime can help me with the mulled wine? Ah, yes. "Tit for tat". Given a chance to bargain, Blind Bob will take it. What does he want now? I don t know what to do. If I can t find Minstrum Magda, I can t get home. If I can t get home... Calm down, child. I will help the best I can. I have red wine, and I can heat it up for you, but I m all out of spices. I was supposed to receive a delivery this morning, but no one has been by yet, and I cannot leave the inn to get them myself. Maybe...I could pick up the spices for you? You could. I buy my spices from a merchant at the South Gate Market. His is the first stall on the left when you walk down Ayrede Avenue. Just tell him Benrime sent you to pick up her order of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . I will put some wine on the boil while you are away. You re welcome, child. Run along, now. Not yet, no. I should get on with it We ll talk when you have, child. How do I get to the South Gate Market again? South Gate Where is the South Gate Market? Turn left outside the door. Follow Burrow Crook east until you get to the tower square, then head south through the main gates. Got it. Thanks. Have you spoken with Minstrum Magda yet? Hi, it s me again. It took you long enough, child. Did you get lost? I should tell Benrime that I got the spices No, but I had to do a lot of running around. It doesn t matter, I have the spices now. Good. There s a pot of red wine in the kitchen. Mix the spices in, let it boil for a while, and you have mulled wine. Very well, child. Stop Stop. Stop! Don t come any closer! The Guardian Scientist 1 Pressure Ms Gilmore? What an unexpected honour. May we help you with anything? I thought I d come down here to check on the progress myself. Why are there only two of you here? It s Sunday evening. The team can t work twenty-four hours a day. They ll start making mistakes, and― Shifts? We re four months away from launch, everything s gone to hell, and your team s working shifts? We re working on that, but it s been a difficult day. There have been...spikes. And the leakage is getting worse. People can take the day off when this crisis has been resolved. If Alchera doesn t launch as planned, you ll all be fired. I don t think― There have been fresh outbreaks of static interference across the Wire, coinciding with violent fluxes in Eingana. Leave now, but be cautious, and don t speak of your home. Not around here. I will help you, but you must find Magda. You don t, by any chance, know anyone called April, do you? April Ryan. April, child? No. I don t think... no, I don t. Where will I find this Minstrum Magda? She moves around the city a lot, but you should ask Blind Bob. He s normally just outside, by the stoop. He knows where to find Magda. What is that you were saying? Twin worlds? Twin Worlds I don t want to frighten you, child. Speak to Magda. She will explain. Okay. Goodbye. Scientist 2 Tourist Roper Klacks Shadowguide I seek passage to your city. I wish to visit the library. We are here to trade and to collect. We do not take on passengers. Guard Elevator WATI Computer You again? Didn t I tell you to stay away from that door? That s for staff only. All right, that s enough! Get away from there! Goodbye for now, child. And good luck. Meaning what? Apostle Alvane. Welcome to Marcuria. The construction is almost complete. We will soon celebrate the inauguration of a permanent Azadi seat in the Northlands. So, Apostle, I understand that you have been sent here to bring the Word of the Goddess to the Scorpion. I have. He s responsible for the death of many trueborn here in the north. Indeed. And I surmise the Six no longer have faith that we will find him and kill him ourselves. I m only here to assist in your efforts, Mistress. I do not intend to challenge the authority and expertise of your commanders. I see. Well, we should be grateful that an Apostle will lend his sword to the task. These terrorists, they have become more than a nuisance. Hmm. So where do you intend to start looking? If you wish, I can lend you the services of my men. Thank you, Emissary. I will require only a few men, but not yet. I have a few leads to follow first. Just do what you must to stamp out the fire before it spreads too wide. I will have no more delays to the construction of the tower. I will do everything in my power to bring the Scorpion to justice, Mistress. Good. You may leave me, Apostle. I will see you again soon. Mistress. You sent for me. Vamon What do you make of this Alvane? You served with him in Sadir, did you not? I did, Mistress. Alvane is a brilliant swordsman, and a loyal servant to the Six. Spare me your politics, Commander. We are alone. I don t trust him. He s risen through the ranks much too quickly. He has connections. Someone inside the Sixth Circle holds his hand? I believe so. His skill with the sword is...better than adequate. But his standing in the Court is unprecedented for a man of his caste. Yes. He is...young, is he not? Too young. And he has no family. No blood. Ah, now I see why you dislike him so much. My pardons, Mistress, but his lineage is not all that I distrust. He has strange friends, and his virtuousness is galling. The Six have sent him here without consulting me, which is worrying. I wonder what this could possibly mean. I understand. What would you have me do? I want to have him followed. Make sure he does not get...distracted from his mission. As you wish, Mistress. That is all, Commander. You may go. Thank you, Mistress. The Apostle will never stray far from my sight, I can assure you of that. You honour us with your presence. Your wave has crossed many oceans, and carried our vessels far abroad. Arrival Dark People Emissary Thank you. So you know who I am? The Shadowguide didn t. It is one city. It never ceases to move. It flows at the will of the cosmos, at the mercy of waves and currents. You have come to see the White of the Kin. Yes, that s right. Why is she here, with you? It is not for us to know the mind of the Draic Kin. You may ask her that question yourself. Come. She is in the library. This is our library. It is as ancient as we are, as old as the first civilisation. We have collected every word ever written. There is no other library like it. And you ve only collected what others have written? We do not create. We collect, we record, and we store. It is left for others to trap words between sheets of paper. We do not often allow visitors into our city, but if you have a purpose here, then you are welcome. I guess I have a purpose, though I m not sure what it is yet. The greater the purpose, the harder it is to understand and to accept. That door is for staff only. Oops. My bad. I just really need a bathroom. It was an accident, I swear! Welcome to WATIcorp, inventors of the Watilla, the BunnyBot, and the most popular and advanced entertainment technology in the world! Voice Yes? Oh, it s you. What can I do for you, child? I m not blind, child. What do you want? It wasn t easy, but I got the spices. I should get going. I ll be back after I find Minstrum Magda. I prefer flesh and blood opponents. Traditional shields from, uh... I think I slept through all of my African cultural history classes. Carlita lives just down the street from me. I ve known her for the longest time. Wow. I like his outfit. Way to go traditional. He s not local. I see those two boys around all the time. Shouldn t they be in school? I never leave home without my mobile. Almost never. I have to get this to Reza as soon as possible. Reza s notepad. Encrypted, of course. Lockpick. It s a dry rag. It feels good in my hand. I could probably toss this quite far. This, um, egg is making a mechanical ticking sound. I found this axe in the garden shed. The handle broke off when the axe fell through the window. It s supposed to be a torch, though I don t know how well it ll burn. Pretty nice work, if I say so myself. Reza s lighter. There s...blood on it. Charlie, together with two girls. Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . It smells really good. Wonkers processing crystal. I guess you could say it s his brain. I should put it back after I m done. It s a Watilla power...thingy. Lucia s brain and power source - both completely busted. Thank you so much. I appreciate all your help. No sales today. No rent money. No food for the children. But why worry? Tomorrow s another day! No merchandise today, nothing to sell. At least I ve got my health, unlike my poor mother. And the children... So hungry. Well, at least the weather s pretty nice. A bit cold, maybe, especially when we can t afford any firewood. Fantastic! Wonderful! Enjoy your day, young lady, and do come back! Hey, I got your spices. That s wonderful! Fantastic. What spices? Oh, for crying out... You asked me to pick up your spices! Remember? Yes. Yes! Ah, yes. I remember. Mrs Mullins spices! I m looking for a place called The Fringe . I need to find The Fringe A datacube. I m sure it s encrypted. Examine Spyder XXX_Security spider. There s a logo XXX_Thank God Olivia knows her stuff. What would I do without her.

Cross that, go right, then left, then right, then left, and there you are. Easy. Uh...thanks. Next time, you buy something. Okay? Aaah, The Fringe. So you know where it is? I certainly do. Well, could you tell me, please? Yes, yes. Keep pants on. On the other side? Thanks. You are most welcome. And good luck. I told you already, yes? I m sorry, but I forgot the directions. Okay, okay. Old man happy to help pretty young girl. Again. The other side. Got it. Find Via Milano. Go through tunnel to Florence Square. The Fringe is right there. Can t miss it. Okay. Thanks. I can repeat if you need. Thanks. That won t be necessary. I ll find it. What did you mean about drugs and competition? Drugs What was that about drugs? Drug market s very dangerous in Venice. Venice very dangerous. Not a good place for young lady. Especially not pretty young lady. I haven t seen any gangs around. Gangs There are gangs here? But they re just kids. Make a few Yuan selling drugs, and all of sudden they big men. Crazy world. They say joining gang is best way to survive. I say, joining gang is best way to get yourself killed. Good thing too, Ryan. I believe the only firing the Critters got done this summer was that of coach ul-Haq. No reason for drastic measures this time around, Diane. The tourists were found haplessly wanting and hitting at air as the local attack was running rampage with their top-order. Any chance the tourists can turn things around after tea, Ryan? The South African captain was left scratching his head looking at a scoreboard of only eighty-five-for-six after the opening twenty-five overs. Miracles do happen in cricket, Diane. And there is always the chance of rain. Not according to the forecast. Dry and sunny is the order of the day for the next couple of months. No such luck over in Malaysia, where Casawi golfer Brenda O Meara failed to make the cut under exceedingly wet conditions. Maybe we should send you over there to tee it off next week? With my putter out of order, I think we ll have to leave it to the pros, Diane. That was all from the world of sports this morning. What have we got coming up, Ryan? I believe there s an interesting report about marauding squirrels, Diane. And of course, we ll be back with more headline news. That s right, Ryan! Breaking news on the hour, every hour. For Channel 8, this is Diane D Amato. And I m Ryan Russell. Thanks for watching! I think his name is Iqbal. I only know him by his reputation, and the word is apparently sleazeball . Carlita went out with that guy once...and once was plenty enough. Examine twice Looks like she s getting some marulas. I wouldn t. Not here. Not this time of year. I see her down here all the time. I think that guy lives in Reza s building. Some guy. Checking out fruit. That s about as interesting as watching...some guy checking out fruit. You know, I may not be doing much with my life, but I still have better things to do than watching some guy buying fruit. Traditional. I love this part of the city, it s so culturally diverse. Nice candles. Very atmospheric. Scented. Vanilla...and champagne? Even the bartender s wearing expensive designer clothes. Everyone s really stylish. I feel a bit out of place. They don t serve any cheap stuff here, that s for sure. Expensive stuff. Bonsai tree. I like that whole Japanese theme they ve got going on here. It s a bonsai tree. I wonder how much he charges for something like that. It must be at least ten years old. If the rest of the stuff is anything to go by, there s just junk in there. I m not sure I want to find out what s up there. Uh-uh, I m not doing that again. Try hacking again It s a police barrier. It s probably there for a good reason, too. Examine after near focus These people look really desperate. I didn t know anyone still lived like this. I ll definitely never complain about having to live at home anymore. I wonder where they sleep...and eat. There are so many of them. I can t believe that the corporations aren t doing anything about this. She s so young. To be living on the streets at her age... I can t imagine what that s like. How can the corporations allow this to go on? Why don t they feed and house these people? At least she s not alone. Everyone here seems to be in the same situation. Not that it s any consolation... He looks really cold. It s riled up, but it doesn t seem very interested in following me. Maybe it ll calm down again in a little while. Running dog Crap! I woke the dog! Aware Open, thanks to Liv s illegal lock-defeating software. It s locked again. Looks like I ll have to find some other way out of this place. Examine after locked again 305. Nice and warm. I can feel my hands and toes again. I can see the point of using these barrels now. Nice and warm. When I find you, Reza, I m giving you a big hug...and then you re buying me new shoes and pants. And a very big cup of hot coffee. Into the tunnel The handle fit perfectly. I ought to be able to open it now. Examine with handle There s a fire escape out there. A wooden wheel... What is this place? I must be dreaming. Who stores food like this? I don t think I m in Newport anymore. The tunnel s closed. I don t know any of these titles. A Bestiary of the Southlands ? Okay, I don t want to know any of these titles. The Six Glorious Tenets of the Goddess . Books. Benrime. She s been the one thing in my life that hasn t changed in the past decade. Benrime Salmin, the innkeeper. Benrime s always busy. Cold Stone Gate. That tunnel leads to the west city. The Azadi are keeping a tight rein on the traffic. They re afraid of terrorist actions. There s a road through the mountain, but it s closed off by an iron gate. I like her outfit. Aside from Benrime, I don t know anyone in Marcuria anymore. I like his hat. I can definitely feel the cold. It s just a child. At least I don t stick out like a sore thumb in my clothes. You never know who to trust anymore. Anyone here could be an Azadi sympathiser or spy. What a character. I don t know him. Looks like he s guarding that gate. He won t let anyone into the ghetto. An elgwan. They re extremely hardy animals. The traitorous innkeeper of this den of dissenters. Hello, bubba. wtf Wazzup, yo? Aight, biatch? Wdf Who you callin biatch, biatch? I don t know if you re supposed to say non-human , but he s definitely it. I guess magical is a fitting word, all right. He― It looks like a creature half human, half animal. It is surely not the will of the Goddess to have such a thing mingle with trueborn. Apples? Sure looks like apples. But I m not taking anything for granted anymore. I doubt I ll find anything I recognise here. Unlike most things in this place, that fireplace feels comfortably familiar. Gum Sticker Ticket piece Torn ticket It s a colourful sticker with a cartoon Watilla on it. It says, Chew you later! . I don t get it. It s a complete ticket. It s just torn in two. Gum. There s only chewing gum left. And I don t even like gum. Every pack comes with a special WATI sticker . Okay, that s something. Looks like a ticket machine. Ticket machine. It sells tickets to the WATIcorp museum. Out of order. Please purchase your tickets at the ticket office. Kenji Yuriko The ticket office s closed. Of course. This just isn t my day. Hello? Anyone there? Thank you for visiting WATIcorp today, and from everyone in the WATI family - and that includes Wazza the Watilla - we hope to see you back soon! It looks like he s waiting for someone. Uh, sumimasen? Eh? Ah...gomennasai. I thought you were...someone else. I apologise. I can see the torn ticket in there. It hasn t been incinerated yet. Examine close with ticket It s empty. The dustbin automatically incinerates its contents every ten minutes or so. Examine close without ticket Your basic dustbin. The other half of the ticket s still in there. One more piece She s definitely waiting for someone. That must be the guy s girlfriend. I should go talk to her, tell her what happened. Sorry, I was just wondering... Do you know how to get to the museum? Huh? Oh. My fiancé, Yuriko. She s late. She s never this late. I tried calling her, but there was just...just static... Ah, who am I kidding. She probably decided not to come. Hi, are you waiting for someone? What? Yes...no, not exactly. Someone was waiting for me, only... He probably left already. I m very late. I ll need a ticket to get on the cable car to the museum. Why would you say that? Girlfriend Sounds like he s feeling sorry for himself We ve been having problems lately. It s all my fault. How so? I ve been too busy with work, I haven t paid as much attention to her as she deserves. I m sure that s not the case. She was probably just held up somewhere. Reassure I should say something to make him feel better about himself You don t know her like I do. She s very fastidious. She would have called. No, I have neglected her one time too many, and now she s left me. Uh-huh. Listen, could you tell me where I can get a ticket to the museum? I have more important things to worry about I knew I should have listened to... Uh, what? The WATIcorp museum? I need a ticket. Um, yes. There s a...ticket office. Downstairs. Yeah, I know. It s closed. Checked Oh. Uh, did you try the ticket machine? Really? Okay, thanks. Didn t check Yes...ah, I have to, um, leave. I can t stay. I have to... It s out of order. I see. Then I can t― I can t help you, miss, I apologise. I have to...to go. There s a ticket machine? Right next to the ticket office. Great. Thanks. I have to go now. I can t...can t stay here. It sounds like you care about her. I should say something to make him feel better I do. And now I ve blown it. I m... I m sorry. I can t― I have to leave. Well, if you ve prioritised your work instead of― If he prioritised work before his girlfriend, he can t blame anyone but himself That s too bad, but these things happen. Listen, I really need a ticket to the museum. Ticket It s too bad the guy s got problems, but I have more important things to worry about I was thinking... If your fiancé doesn t show, maybe I could have your ticket? That s really...quite rude. Why don t you buy your own ticket? I have to go now. That s not...that s not entirely true. My supervisor, he s been on my back lately. I ve tried to tell Yuriko it s only temporary, but... So maybe you re right. Maybe she isn t coming. That doesn t mean it s over. Right He may be right about her not coming, but so what? You know, communication is really important in a relationship. You can t just put up a wall. Communication Time for a lesson about proper communication If she really cares about you, she ll understand. If not, what s the point? Comfort I should try and make him feel better about himself You re right. What s the point? It s too late for us. I can t wait for her anymore. I ll just go home. You re right. I just hope it s not too late to make things better. I was hoping this trip to the museum could give us a chance to really talk. Yes, it does. She wouldn t stand me up otherwise. She isn t coming. I ll just...just go home. You re taking her to the museum? On a date? No wonder you guys are having trouble. Museum? A romantic date at a corporate museum? This relationship is bust Great. Take her to the museum and have a real heart to heart. He should talk to her, and the museum s as good a place as any Yes, talking is important, but... You know, maybe the museum isn t the best place to talk to her. He should definitely talk to her, but probably not at the museum No? She seemed to like it the last time we were there. Yes, except... What am I doing? The museum? She probably hates it there! I blew it, I really did. That s it, I m going home. Really? Maybe that s why she s not... Ah, she must be so angry at me. I ll just...go home. I m sure she did. I m sorry. You re right. Sorry If that s the case, he s probably right All the more reason to take her somewhere else. Exactly

She s the Teller. She must be over a hundred years old. She s the Teller. Come closer, human. Closer. I cannot see your face. Closer still. Come sit here by me. There you are. You see, my eyes are not what they used to be. Ages ago, I could spot a ladybug crawling up a straw of grass from fifteen tree-lengths up. Now, I have a hard time seeing my supper. But my ears! Balance be praised, my ears, they are as good as ever. I could hear you outside, learning the Tales my children tell. You are a good listener, and a fast learner. They were interesting stories, and your people told them well. That is what we do. The Alatien are the keepers of the Tales, and I am their Teller, the one who must know all the Tales told since the day we came to this world. How can you do that? How can you remember every story ever told? The secret is to tell them often, and to tell them in your own words, not the words of your ancestors. Doesn t that mean that the stories change with every generation? Yes, as all Tales must. Change is important, otherwise the Tales will have no meaning to us... They will be just words, and we do not care about the words. We care about what the words tell us. How long have your people been telling stories? Since the beginning, human, since we came to this world, a long, long time ago. I m the Windbringer. I know you are. It s strange to me to hear those words spoken. I did not think they would be in my lifetime. But here you are, standing in front of me, as real as the sky is blue. I m sorry I have to ask, but...what is it that the Windbringer is supposed to do for you? I did not expect you to walk in here and have all the answers, child. The Balance has blessed you and cursed you both, and it has sent you here to do what it wills. I know. You must make peace and be reunited with the Maerum. You share a common ancestry. I came to you to find answers to some important questions. Ask, and I will try my best to answer. The Windbringer is said to be the first sign of the Great Wind that will take us away from here. For a long time, the Alatien have lost the strength they used to have... The Tales also say that the Windbringer will unite us with our past, and to end the age old strife. Our bones have become weak, and our wings fragile. Where we used to be able to soar for days on strong winds, we are now using our legs to walk rather than fly. Why this is, we do not know. You re not from Earth? From Arcadia? Not according to our Tales. We came on a Great Wind, before the Divide, when the Earth was one and humans had yet to learn of magic, and science. But we were a different people, then, and the Tales we tell from that time are vague and incomplete. Like myths and legends, the younger Alatien pay little attention to these Tales. Sometimes, I worry that they will be lost with me, these Tales. And I am getting old. Very old. Tanyenn! You know of the reason for this? I m just guessing, but it makes sense. Go on. If you don t, both the Alatien and the Maerum will die out. When war broke out between your people and you were forced to move up into the mountains, it compromised a precarious symbiosis. I have always thought we did. The Tales were too similar, the signs clear. But my people...they will have a difficult time understanding why, and how, this can be. A substance called Tanyenn was abundant where the Maerum and the Alatien lived in close proximity. It brought fish, and heat, and light to both your people. But now, living up in the mountains, your way of life, your diet, your customs and habits, they ve all changed. And that s probably the cause of your brittle bones and fragile wings. Then we must make peace with the Maerum, and restore the balance between us, so as to strengthen us both and prepare us for the journey that will surely come soon. When our Sitting is over, I will speak to my people, and I will elect one representative from the Alatien to meet with the Maerum, in a place of your choosing, to open a dialogue. I guess it s time for you to talk to your people, and for me to make arrangements with the Maerum. Inside, there are remnants of an old Alatien settlement and a Maerum city. It s a good place for your two people to meet, don t you think? Yes. And could you ask if they would bring their half of the stone? The stone? You have the other half? We have held on to it for centuries, knowing that some day, it would be of use to the Windbringer. You want me to decide? Um, well... I know, send your ambassador down to the ancient caves by the beach... Where do you wish for our meeting to take place, Windbringer? It will, trust me. Then we must make haste and arrangements! It is an important day, so let us not waste light. Go, and wait for my ambassador in the caves... Have you heard of an ancient god, or dragon, that lives beneath the sea? Once, long ago, when my people lived in harmony with the Maerum, there were stories of an old god, worshipped by the Maerum, who resided deep in the darkest depths of the ocean. Thank you. I don t have any more questions. According to legend, the old god had once brought the Maerum into their realm, into the ocean, and he was now sleeping, resting, before the journey back. Back where? To a great ocean amongst the stars. When the time came, he would gather the Maerum and bring them home with him, back to their world, to their ocean. Strangely enough, we have a similar Tale. It is said that the Great Wind that brought us here will some day return to bring us back to a place where we can soar for ever on warm winds... Like heaven. In a way, perhaps, but without the need for any of us to die. The Great Wind will just sweep us up and carry us away. Every evening, before I go to sleep, I recite this Tale to myself. It is a comforting one. What do you know about the Draic Kin? The Kin are numbered four, or so our Tales tell. Two in this world, two in the other, the mirror world. The White and the Blue, the Red and the Green. Do you know where they are? No, the Tales never say. The Kin are elusive, they keep to themselves. I have never seen one myself, and I doubt any of my kind has. The Tales do say that our past and our future are tied to the fate of the Kin, but how, I would not pretend to know. This is one Tale that has yet to be told. Do you know anything about the Guardian s Realm? This is human business. Would you not know more than I? Your people are the Keepers of the Tales. You remember more than human kind has forgotten. Please, I need to hear what you know. That is very little. The Guardian s Realm is home to the Guardian and his tower. No one is permitted within except the Guardian who was, the Guardian who is, and the Guardian who will be. Have you ever heard of the existence of a hidden entrance to his realm? Yes. Yes, I have heard tell of such a thing, though I would not know where it is. I gather that one of the Kin may be able to tell you. And, of course, the Draic Kin who were instrumental in its making. I am glad I could help you with some answers.

Jawhar. Alien the Cat , Liv s store. She sells mobiles, robots, gadgets, and all kinds of semi-legal software. We bought this place back in 2213...I think. Olivia de Marco. Liv amongst friends. She probably has a million different aliases on the Wire. Liv. She s got about a million screens, and hook-ups to every service there is, but I don t think she ever watches anything. Liv s workshop. It looks like a war zone. Total chaos. I m afraid I ll crush something if I go in there. Liv s workshop is back there. Okay, so I can t fix either of these. They re totally fried. Do you have any replacement parts? I have a power source here somewhere. Hold on. That should work just fine. But I don t have a processing crystal in stock, I m afraid. If you can t fix this one, then what about Lucia s memories? The data s continuously backed up to a separate crystal. You can use any Watilla brain you want. Okay. I ll have to figure it out myself. Thanks so much, Liv. No way. Those things are loaded with nanites. I m probably being paranoid...but something feels off about her. I should be able to climb up there. The lab is filling with some kind of gas. The pod s here. Examine present Downtown Casablanca. Impressive skyline. I can almost see my house from here. Well, actually, that s the other direction. But, you know, I could. The pod s gone. Examine gone It s the call button for the elevator pod. Examine panel The call button doesn t work. Examine panel out of order He s right outside. He s as short as he is loud. You cannot miss him. After that, you will only need to follow Ayrede Avenue until you reach the South Gate. Well, you look like you need all the help I can give you, child. Hiya. Out for a jog? Yup. Well, I m actually heading down to the gym for a quick work-out before lunch. Um, yeah, I m running a bit late. You should hurry. Jama won t be happy. I know, I know. I m on my way. All right, I ll see you there! We get dinner from Sushi-ya at least once a week. So I spend a few hours at Moca Loco every day. What s the big deal? I never knew they sold Bingo! Caffeinated baby food here. That stuff is tasty. Everything looks so good. The new issue of Aeons has an article about the Collapse. I should check that out at some point. Corporate Weekly has an interview with that WATIcorp woman, Gilmore. Looks like they re about to announce something pretty big soon. Magazines. I ve never seen that thing on. Jama doesn t watch anything. And doesn t Jama always keep that screen switched off? This is getting a bit freaky... Hey, weren t you supposed to be there already? I don t know their names, but they live in the neighbourhood. Um, what am I doing with these kids? What would I say to them? Stay in school ? Talk to boys Jama s studio is on the top floor. That s where my gym is. I ve been going pretty much every day since I moved back, and I feel a lot healthier. And lighter. My gym is in that building. I don t like those old, elevated freeways. They should move all the traffic underground, just like they ve done downtown. The door is open. That s really strange. The EYE s put a clamp on the door. Examine bolted I don t think Reza s home. Knock I think...she s dead. What the hell is that thing? I m not touching it. Olivia would probably know how to disable that...that horrible thing. It s got some sort of logo on it.

Examine sneak Olivia wired me the software I need to disable the spider. All I need to do is establish a remote connection with my mobile. Examine hack Okay. Let s try this. If I screw it up, I ll have to find some other way to disable the spider. Damn. I screwed up. The spider s going to alter its security codes now. Yes! I did it! The spider s been disabled!

Probably some kind of safeguard Reza s installed. Examine after safe Reza s Watilla. Her name s Lucia. The shower control panel. Hmm, it s not like Reza to make his own bed...

There must be security cameras in all the rooms. Maybe...maybe I just had to leave. Quickly. Hey, you got yourself a VIP booth? Convenient, cause I brought some friends along, and they d love to say hello. In private. Can you help me get back to my world? No, I cannot. It s too dangerous. But I can point you in the direction of someone who might be able to help you. You will need to enter Oldtown. They call it the magic ghetto these days, after our protectors rebuilt the wall. The entrance to the ghetto is across the square. The gate is usually open, but right now the soldiers are conducting a raid. Where do I go once I m on the inside? Seek out an artisan of the magic craft. Their skills have been mostly outlawed by the Azadi, except inside the ghetto. Hey. Hey! What the hell are you doing? Help! Kano! Kano! Let me out! I― I don t understand. Please...what do you want with me? Find April Ryan! Hurry, Zoë. Hurry! But what do― Two weeks earlier I guess you received the message. Don t worry, Reza s probably okay, but he needs you to do him a favour. Olivia will know how to open it. Success Yes! That was too easy. Not too bad for a first attempt. Finally. I definitely need more practice. He never leaves the apartment unlocked. This is weird. Crap. All right, it s not like I expected to get it in one try. Failure This isn t easy. I ll have to try again. This is really hard. Maybe I should call Olivia and ask her to help me? Tainted ―static s getting worse by the hour. Parts of the Wire are down. Can you hear me? Nice. Chilly, but nice. What s going on? In the meantime, you ll need to find a way inside the corporate campus. Okay, that s good. I should get going. Oh, and Olivia? Don t be silly― The connection s deteriorating, sweetie. I ll get back to work and ring you up as soon as I have something. Bye! If he s not on the Wire, he must be at work. Either that or the Static s messing things up. We ll have to bet on the former, since I m already heading into the lion s den. Where exactly does he work? Don t know. I could dig into the WATI databank, but it might trigger some alarms. And we don t want to trigger any alarms, sweetie. I do know that Rio Kuroki worked as a systems analyst in biotech, and that Cavanaugh s in software. Okay. I will find him. I have to find him. I ll keep digging, and I ll send you a message if I find any more info on the guy. We should stick to just messages from now on. Good luck, sweetie. And be caref― Shit, agents have locked on! Gotta run― My name s Zoë. What s yours? Uh? Oh! I m Riko, miss Zoë-san. Nice to meet you, Riko. That doesn t sound very nice of Ren. But then Ren met this girl, and he left me here by myself. Now Obaasan and Hiro are at the museum, and I don t have a ticket! He likes girls. More than he likes me, anyway. Well, honey, that s men for you. Can t you just call your grandma? I tried, but I can t get through, and since the machine is broken, I can t buy a ticket. So now I have to wait here until they come back. Do you know how to get to the museum? Maybe she knows how I can get to the museum? Sad She looks so sad Hmm? Oh! Yes, you have to ride the cable car. But you need a ticket to do that. The ticket office is closed on Sundays, and the machine is broken, so you can t. Where can I buy a ticket? When s your grandma coming back? I don t know. Obaasan really wanted to go to the museum, and she s very slow sometimes...so maybe at closing time? I have to go now, Riko. I need to get going Oh! Thank you for chatting with me, miss Zoë-san. Maybe I ll see you later? Bye, Riko. Oh! Bye! I managed to get hold of an extra ticket for you. That s not for several hours. You ll catch a cold. Oh! Really? Thank you so much, miss Zoë-san! Now I can go to the museum to find Obaasan and Hiro! Thank you so much! Thank you! And in just a few months, WATI will unveil a revolution in home entertainment with the most exciting new product in our two hundred year history This is a great time to be part of our ever-expanding happy family! The future of entertainment is WATI bright! ―should be here by now... I see. Uh, so what happened? Cable car. Right there. The museum s on the other side of the canyon. Museum He probably knows how to get to the museum Who did you think I was? Someone He thought I was someone else? She s late. She s not usually... Ah, who am I kidding. She s not coming. We were supposed to go to the museum today, Yuriko and I. She s my fiancé. I can t wait for her anymore. I have to go. Tell her what s going on at work, ask for her advice. If you include her, it ll bring the two of you closer together. Didn t I see that same cat yesterday? What a pathetic performance! You boys might make warriors some day! Bad Good Garmon has been my mentor and guide for as long as I can recall. He saw potential in me when I was just a motherless boy. For that, I will always be grateful to him. Examine first Meeting So there it is, my story. It sounds pretty unbelievable, I know. Parts of it still feel like a dream to me. But it did happen, all of it. I helped send Faith on her way, the Static is gone, things are back to normal - all should be well with the world. She s dead, Chawan. Dead! Mmm, one moment. Mhm. Pardon me. The dust here isn t any good for my lungs. I represent the tower. I am told you have a prisoner. Tut-tut! We don t use that word here. They are our guests, until your people come to pick them up. I wish to speak with this prisoner. Mmm. So I see. Am I to understand that you have all the paperwork in order? The Emissary insists that I should speak with your prisoner. Now. Mmm. I will never understand this blatant disregard of a proper bureaucratic process. But as you wish. Guard? If you please? There she is, all ready to be, mmm, interviewed. I shall be alone with her. I beg your pardon? No, no, that s not how things are done here. Local laws apply, and they are abundantly clear. "During interrogations, an independent body must be present to ensure the legality of said process." And I am that independent body. I am here to― Mmm. Please. A moment. The tower shall hear of this. I m sure it will. Carry on. I take it she will be loaded onto the next airship bound for Sadir, yes? I don t think she is a spy. Or a witch. Does your opinion make a difference? Guilty or not, they all go across the sea to be, mmm, tried. Do they not? I think she should be released. No-no-no, that is quite, quite impossible. She has been left in my care, and in my care she shall remain...until she s sent off to Sadir. Those are the laws. And so you shall. Good day, then. My best to the tower and your, mmm, mistress. Good day to you. Good day Yes? May I help you? (Clears his throat) The Tower. The supreme authority of the Azadi Empire in the Northlands. I am Apostle Alvane, personal envoy of the Six. I don t know what any of that is. I don t know anything. I haven t done anything. She keeps saying that. She s a bit whiny, this one. The warden butts in Do not interrupt. Please. By the Mo-Jaal s―! You stand accused of being a spy. You will be transported to Sadir, our capital, at our earliest convenience, where you will be tried as a spy. Mmm. I m not a spy! Then what are you? A witch? You were spotted practising magic. Very close. Go to other side of Crossroads, find Via Milano. Go through tunnel to Florence Square, and there you are. Other side of Crossroads. You follow? Today it s green. I m most grateful, petal. Ye ve earned yourself a silver star in Blind Bob s book. That s a, wossname, old chestnut round these parts. Still as true as the sky is green. Potions! Herbs! Curiously shaped cookies! Everything a wizard, witch, or warlock may require! At your service, m lady. What may I do for― Wait. I know you. Where do I know you...from... April! April Ryan! Uh, well― How lovely to see you! Say what? It s been too long, my dear. Too long! Uh, yeah. I guess it s been...long. What have you been up to? This and...that. How lovely. Me, I m rehabilitated. Rehabilitated? How so? Rehabilitated? How can an evil wizard be rehabilitated? That s nice, but I don t have time to chat. Don t care I couldn t care less about how or why he was rehabilitated Why, of course. You re a busy woman! Off to save the world again, hmm? Not so much, no. Being soundly walloped by you was the best thing that s ever happened to me! Really. Oh yes. It gave me perspective. Time to think. When I finally escaped that confounding device, I joined WWWA. Uh... Wicked Witches Warlocks Anonymous. It s a marvellous support group for wizarding professionals. It helped tremendously to find others who shared my...affliction. Affliction? A desire for evil deeds and world domination. Your basic EDWD syndrome. I see. And now...? Cured! I m free of my desire to conquer and control, and I m happy to be a simple merchant. And published author. I guess that s a...a good thing. Still, if there s anything I can do to help? Anything at all? Just say the word. I actually do need some help. I hate to say it, but I do need his assistance It is. It is indeed! So, April Ryan, is there anything I can do to help repay what you did for me? Using only the finest organic ingredients! Elgwan bladders! Rat tails! Dung! Hold on. Benrime needs the spices right now. You can just give them to me, and I ll deliver them for you. Why, yes. Yes! I could give the spices to you. What a wonderful idea! There are dozens of them! Aah! Uhh! I m hit! By the Six, they re everywhere! Goddess help me... Rebel scum! Hah! Everything else is secondary. And we do not engage the enemy within scouting distance of the city. Marcuria. When things returned to normal, we were too busy putting our own lives back together, and by the time we started looking for her again― April was gone. Vanished. If it hadn t been for the things she d told us, I would have simply believed that she was another victim of the Collapse. Maybe Reza s tried to contact me. I m going to try his mobile again, and check in with my friend Olivia back in Casablanca, in case she s heard from him. How did you get into town? Conversation We took the jet. I just don t trust the trax these days. Tell me about it. This Static thing is getting out of control. Why doesn t the Syndicate do something? I ve heard it s solar storms... That s bullshit. I m telling you, it s a global conspiracy. Digital terrorism, electronic warfare, that sort of thing. Solar storms? No fucking way. Really? So who s behind it? Who knows? That s why it s called a conspiracy. It s like the dark days of the Collapse all over again. Jesus, don t remind me. My stocks hit rock bottom back then. Took years to rebuild business. So are you staying over tonight? I know what you mean. Lost my first billion during the Collapse. Let s pray that never happens again. Screw praying. I m not Manichaean. Let s drink to it instead! I hope not. I m looking to hook up. Shouldn t be too hard. Got your eyes on anyone? Not yet. There s nothing here. The tasty ones don t show up until after two. I guess we re in for a long night. Okay with me. I m buzzing. The synth will keep me going until midday tomorrow. I m having coffee with Reza at Moca Loco today. Liv wants to see me in her shop. I wonder what she wants... I should get this package to Reza ASAP. He said he ll be in his apartment. He s got a LOT of explaining to do, that s for sure! I can t believe what he s gotten me involved in. Venice, Newport The dog seems used to the train. It didn t even bat an eyelid, despite the racket. That is Charlie. And those two girls...? Maybe this used to be Charlie s room. But why did the little girl point to his closet? What s his connection to all of this? Winter I...don t... Where am I? What is this place? 何が…何だか…。私はどこにいるんです？ ここはどこですか？ How did you get here? Go back the way you came! Quickly! You cannot stay! どうやってここに来た？ 引き返せ！ 早く！ ここにはおれんぞ！ I don t...know how to go― 私には…その方法が― It is here. (Beat) What have you done? What have you done? ここにある。(Beat) おまえは何をした？ 何をしたんだ？ What do you mean? What― どういう意味です？ いったい― Benrime? Visitor. What are you on about, Brynn? She s standing right next to you. Hello, dear. Thank you. Again. You watch yourself out there. Don t get in the way of the Azadi soldiers. If they knew whence you came... I ll be careful. Bye. You be careful, dear. Very well, dear. I do believe that you are as lost as you seem to be. But I was told that you...that Minstrum― Like I said, there are none left. I didn t know that. I don t know anything. I was just told that...that Magda could help me. And who, pray tell, told you that? But be discreet. Like I said, there are ears. Everywhere. I will. Thank you. So in order to get home, I need to go to the magic ghetto? You will have to wait until they open the gates again. Into Oldtown, yes. But you will need to wait until the raid is over. Very well, dear. Come back if you change your mind. Very well, dear. Freedom! Hah! Freedom for who? From what? It s not like the Azadi are keeping us imprisoned. I― But, I― Not a day goes by without them troublemakers making...trouble for the rest of us. Uh, I mean the Six. I don t worship no Mo-Jaal. Never heard of the bugger. Ahem. Ye gods― I mean, goddess . There s only one, blessed be her name, etcetera. You are so annoying. Listen to me! I just spoke with the spice merchant at the South Gate market. Well, he sent me to pick up a delivery of, um, Mrs Mulllins Mixed Spices . He ll have to wait until they reopen the ghetto, just like everyone else. You can ignore me all you want, but I m not leaving. If you think you re having a bad day, you should try mine on for size. I mean, by the grace of the Six - blessed be their names - if you ll leave me be, I ll give you the bloody spices! And now, for the love of the goddess, and for the sake of my sanity, let me be miserable in peace! Absolutely. Won t bother you again. Thank you. You see, the thing is...I don t actually have any spices at all this morning. They close the ghetto down, search the buildings for criminals and contraband...a sort of spring cleaning, if you will. Last thing I remember, I was at The Fringe. I was going upstairs to make a call, and then... Black. When I first came here, I refused to believe what my eyes and ears were telling me. You re in Arcadia. Look, Zoë, I d let you go, but I don t want you walking around out there asking questions, drawing attention to yourself. You got problems, you figure them out. That s what I had to do. What if something big is going down, and― May the stars guide you and light your way, April-an. They claim to shun magic, even though this technology of theirs relies on it. Maybe the tower is such a device, a magical machine. Um, to pick up the spices? Ah, yes! Wonderful! Fantastic. Your assistance is much appreciated, young lady. I ll have them sent right up. Fantastic. Next! Saves me from having to deliver them, doesn t it? Fantastic! No problem, none at all. Except... In fact, I m the exclusive distributor of Mrs Mullins in Marcuria! Best spice mixes in the Northlands! Or any lands! This is the only store that carries Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices in Marcuria, I m afraid. Right! Well, the Azadi have set aside a section of Oldtown for the magicals. So what about the ghetto? He ll be up Burrow Crook, right below the Journeyman Inn. You can t miss him. Ask him for Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . He ll try and get some money from you, but the order s been paid for already. Come right back here with the spices, and I ll give you Benrime s order. Wonderful! Fantastic! Hmm? Who? Benrime? Oh, yes! One pouch of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices for the best mulled wine in Marcuria! You re welcome. Now, about Benrime s order...? Did you find my man? And the spices? Did you get the spices? Hmm? Don t you worry, I ll figure something out. I m...I m sure of it. Wonderful. Fantastic. (Sighs) I am a very, very bad person. The Azadi are probably quite reasonable, I would think. Quite, quite reasonable. Yes. Mmm. Wonderful. We can work around this, I m sure. What s next for WATI s favourite toybot? We aren t telling, but the future sure looks WATIrrific! With its complex emotional response system and friendly demeanor, the Watilla is a beloved friend and companion for billions of children and adults. Crazy as a turnip, Clara is. But she s also got a scoutwing s eyes. She knows more than she lets on. Oh, thanks, petal. You ve made a theoretically blind man happy. Don t you mean commodity ? No. Commode. Information s where I keep my valuables, see? For starters, you seem to be chummy with Benrime, the innkeeper. Mind it s made with Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . Anything else is a waste of hot wine. Alms! Alms for a poor old blind bastard! Beggaring So cold, so hungry, so blind. Alms! Don t mind me, good sir or madam! I m just a poor old blind bastard with nowhere to go and nothing to eat. Make a donation to the welfare of old Blind Bob, and ye ll receive yer award in the afterlife of your choice! Excuse me, what s through this gate? I haven t stepped forward. You re in violation of Azadi martial law regarding loitering. Move along. Okay. Fine. I won t loiter. Blessed be the Goddess, blessed be the Path, blessed be the Word, blessed be the Mission. My baby, my baby, gone, gone, gone. And then you turn into a spook. "Clara has been bad, she must be punished!" No more. Please, no more... "Sleep now, beautiful. Everything will be better in the morning. I m sorry, flower. I m sorry." "You ll never have friends, you ve been bad!" Mmm. Saltnut soup. Our favourite. You ask her nicely, I m sure she ll give you a cup, too. Take good care of your baby, okay? He s a beautiful pet. I m almost starting to think that those stories Charlie told me about April Ryan are true. If you ever need anything, come see me. I ll help you the best I can. Where did you say I could find Blind Bob again? Yes, child? Mulled wine. He wants mulled wine, made with, uh, Mrs-something-or-other spice mix. Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . For a beggar, Blind Bob is quite particular. And be sure to mention that I m not happy he did not make his delivery as scheduled. Wait, how do I get to the market? The quickest way would be through Oldtown, but they have closed it off this morning. You will have to go the long way around. Walk east, towards the tower. When you get to the tower square go south. That will take you onto Ayrede Avenue, which leads all the way down to the South Gate. East, then south. Okay. Thank you. How come everyone speaks English here? English If this is a different world, why does everyone speak English? Eng...lish? No, child, we speak Alltongue. As do you. All-what? Alltongue. Na ven. It is the common tongue of our world. But we re speaking English now...right? No. Na ven is a magical tongue. It is learned quickly by those who know how to listen. Really? So...what, I can speak a magical language? That s incredible. Incredible? No, it is quite ordinary, child. I have so many questions about this place, I don t even know where to start. Questions I have a million questions about this place You should start with Minstrum Magda, like I told you, child. Okay. I will. Kill them! These are not men, they are Daemons! Goddess take my soul... The Six have called, boy! You must answer. Kian must go Do not linger here while the Six are waiting! Do you want to lose your head, boy? What are you still doing here, you brainless fool? Heed the call of your Empresses! What is this place? Who are you? State your name and CID number for the record. Look, I don t― The datacube was inside a package. I wasn t supposed to open it, but I did. Opened package Didn t open package I didn t want to be carrying something illegal, so I looked inside. It was just a datacube. That datacube contains highly sensitive information. I didn t know. I was just delivering a package. I ll take her to that Indian― Thank you so much for your help. You saved our relationship. Thank you. Hi, Charlie. It s Zoë. You must hurry! Go! Now! Evil! No, no, I can t. Me? I can t even find a good date for myself. We ll just have to make it a girl s night in, then. Later! Open this door right now! What are you doing? Kano! Kano! Gone, gone, gone... "Never fraternise with spooks, Clara. They can eat your soul." My baby is gone, gone, gone. All gone, all gone. "No, please no! It burns!" "Pretty thing, pretty thing." No. Please, no. My friend. Be advised, Temiz is now our prime target. He may be considered armed and dangerous. I found your lighter. And there was...blood. Everywhere. I m not about to give up on you, but I need to know that you re not... I need to know that you re okay. Talk to you soon. Bye. What s inside? That s the ghetto. It s not a good place for humans. I d stay away if I were you. Why s it closed? We re cleaning out the trash and confiscating contraband. The magicals don t have any respect for the law. Okay, fine, so I don t have much of a choice. But if you re lying to me...I ll scream. I can scream pretty loud. Raven will be pleased that we bagged us a spy. Careful, Chawan. She s a screamer. Who are you? What do you want? So who gave you the idea to seek out Magda in the first place? All profits go to the refuge. We shelter and feed the homeless and the penniless. Theoretically Blind Bob was the one who led me to Clara. He said she would know where Magda was. See, the innkeeper at the Journeyman, she was the one who told me to talk to Magda. I will try and assist you with any questions that you may have, and maybe even point you in the right direction.
