TIMER ScriptVOTE COUNTER ScriptGrammarian DutiesTable Topics Master Do s and Don tsEvaluatior Do s and Don tsJargonsTIMER My job as the Timer is to keep track of the time each table topic speaker, prepared speaker, and evaluator spends. The timing starts with the first verbal or non-verbal form of communication with the audience. Each table topic speaker is given two minutes. I will raise the green card when the speaker has spoken for one minute, the amber card at one minute and 30, and the red at two minutes. The speaker must wind up his or her remarks within 30 seconds after the red card, although it will remain displayed until the speech is concluded. Any speaker who speaks for less than one minute or more than two minutes 30 is eligible for awards. Each evaluator is given three minutes. The timing is two minute, two minute and 30, and three minutes. followed by the 30-seconds leeway after red. Timing for each prepared speaker depends on his or her project. For today the first three speakers will speak for four to six minutes, and the fans will be raised at four, five, and six. The fourth speaker will speak for eight to ten minutes and the timing will be eight, nine, and ten followed by 30-seconds leeway. (I also time one minute of silence between prepared speeches, for you to write feedback to prepared speakers. I will report the result of timing at the end of each session.) Timer s Report First speaker (Name) spoke for 1minute 30 (seconds) Second speaker (Name) ...VOTE COUNTER My role as vote counter is to count the number of votes after each session to choose the best speaker of the session.

付くSpecial Attributesの仮説その1 11/06 Common, Rare, Legendaryそれぞれにspecial attributes(Bold, Courageous, etcetc)毎のreq item lvlが決められている。 それに加えてTemepler用だとかCabalist用とかも影響するかもしれないし、base itemそのものが影響するのかもしれない。 ex CommonでBoldが付くitem lvlは X lvlからで、rareだとそれよりα lvl低い(X-α)lvl、Legendaryだとrareより更にβ低い(X-α-β)lvlから Common, Rare, Legendaryそれぞれ付きうるattributesからランダムで1選択される。 つまり、Item lvlがXの時に付くrare modsがA, B, Cの3種類だとして、そのうち1つがランダムで選択される。 ただしAは同じItem lvlにおいてcommonでも出うる。この時Aがrare special attributesとして選択されたとしても表記はrareなのではないか?

dlga_award_fief_to_vassal award_fief_to_vassal_defer|I wish to defer the appointment of a lord, until I take the counsel of my subjects dlga_award_fief_to_vassal_defer close_window|As you wish, {sire/my lady}. You may decide this matter at a later date. dlga_award_fief_to_vassal_2 close_window|As you wish, {sire/my lady}. {reg6?I {reg7?You {s11}}} will be the new {reg3?lady lord} of {s1}. dlga_event_triggered center_captured_rebellion|{s1} is not being managed by anyone. Whom shall I put in charge? dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2|{s11}. {s1} dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2.1|Please {s65}, I want to have {s1} for myself. (fiefs {s0}) dlga_center_captured_rebellion center_captured_rebellion_2.2|{s66}, you should have {s1} for yourself. (fiefs {s0}) dlga_center_captured_rebellion_2 close_window|Hmmm. All right, {playername}. I value your counsel highly. {reg6?I {reg7?You {s11}}} will be the new {reg3?lady lord} of {s1}. dlga_start fighter_talk|Hello there. We are polishing off our combat skills here with a bit of sparring practice. You look like you could use a bit of training. Why don't you join us, and we can show you a few tricks. And if you need explanation of any combat concepts, just ask, and I will do my best to fill you in. dlga_start fighter_talk.1|What do you want to practice? dlga_fighter_pretalk fighter_talk|Tell me what kind of practice you want. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_attack|I want to practice attacking. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_parry|I want to practice blocking with my weapon. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_combat|Let's do some sparring practice. dlga_fighter_talk close_window|[Leave] dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack fighter_talk_train_attack_2|All right. There are four principle directions for attacking. These are overhead swing, right swing, left swing and thrust. Now, I will tell you which direction to attack from and you must try to do the correct attack. ^^(Move your mouse while you press the left mouse button to specify attack direction. For example, to execute an overhead attack, move the mouse up at the instant you press the left mouse button. The icons on your screen will help you do the correct action.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry fighter_talk_train_parry_2|Unlike a shield, blocking with a weapon can only stop attacks coming from one direction. For example if you block up, you'll deflect overhead attacks, but you can still be hit by side swings or thrust attacks. ^^(You must press and hold down the right mouse button to block.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_2 fighter_talk_train_parry_3|I'll now attack you with different types of strokes, and I will wait until you do the correct block before attacking. Try to do the correct block as soon as you can. ^^(This practice is easy to do with the 'automatic block direction' setting which is the default. If you go to the Options menu and change defend direction control to 'mouse movement' or 'keyboard', you'll need to manually choose block direction. This is much more challenging, but makes the game much more interesting. This practice can be very useful if you use manual blocking.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat fighter_talk_train_combat_2|Sparring is an excellent way to prepare for actual combat. We'll fight each other with non-lethal weapons now, until one of us falls to the ground. You can get some bruises of course, but better that than being cut down in the real thing. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually I want to do something else. dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again|Good. You were able to block my attacks successfully. You may repeat this practice and try to get faster each time, until you are confident of your defense skills. Do you want to have another go? dlga_start fighter_parry_try_again.1|Well that didn't go too well, did it? (Remember, you must press and hold down the right mouse button to keep your block effective.) Do you want to try again? dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_train_parry|Yes. Let's try again. dlga_fighter_parry_try_again fighter_talk_leave_parry|No, I think I am done for now. dlga_start fighter_parry_warn|Hey! We are doing a blocking practice, mate! You are supposed to block my attacks, not attack me back. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_train_parry|I am sorry. Let's try once again. dlga_fighter_parry_warn fighter_talk_leave_parry|Sorry. I must leave this practice now. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_parry close_window|All right. As you wish. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again|Well that didn't go too well, did it? Don't feel bad, and try not to do same mistakes next time. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_train_combat|Yes. Let's do another round. dlga_fighter_combat_try_again fighter_talk_leave_combat|No. That was enough for me. dlga_fighter_talk_leave_combat close_window|Well, all right. Talk to me again if you change your mind. dlga_start fighter_combat_try_again.1|Hey, that was good sparring. You defeated me, but next time I'll be more careful. Do you want to have a go again? dlga_start fighter_talk.2|Very good. You have learned how to attack from any direction you want. If you like we can try this again or move to a different exercise. dlga_start archer_challenge_2|Not bad. Not bad at all! You seem to have grasped the basics of archery. Now, try to do the same thing with a crossbow. Take the crossbow and the bolts over there and shoot those three targets. The crossbow is much easier to shoot with compared with the bow, but you need to reload it after each shot. dlga_start archer_challenge_2.1|Good. You didn't have too much difficulty using the crossbow either. Next you will learn to use throwing weapons. Pick up the javelins you see over there and try to hit those three targets. dlga_start ranged_end|Well, with that you have recevied the basic skills to use all three types of ranged weapons. The rest will come with practice. Train each and every day, and in time you will be as good as the best marksmen in Europe. dlga_ranged_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the horsemanship trainer if you haven't already done so. They can teach you important skills too. dlga_start archer_talk|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days teaching about ranged weapons to anyone that is willing to learn. If you need a tutor, let me know and I'll teach you how to use the bow, the crossbow and the javelin. dlga_archer_talk archer_challenge|Yes, show me how to use ranged weapons. dlga_archer_talk close_window|No, not now. dlga_archer_challenge archer_challenge_2|All right. Your first training will be in bowmanship. The bow is a difficult weapon to master. But once you are sufficiently good at it, you can shoot quickly and with great power. Go pick up the bow and arrows you see over there now and shoot those targets. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I want to do something else first. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2|I hope you enjoyed the ride. Now we move on to something a bit more difficult. Grab the lance you see over there and ride around the course hitting each target at least once. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2.1|Good! You have been able to hit all targets on horseback. That's no easy feat for a starter. Your next challange will be using a bow and arrows to shoot at the archery targets by the road. You need to put an arrow to each target to consider yourself successful. dlga_start horsemanship_end|Very good. You were able to shoot all targets from horseback. Keep riding and practicing each day and in time you will be an expert horseman. dlga_horsemanship_end close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the archery trainer if you haven't already done so. You need to learn everything you can to be prepared when you have to defend yourself. dlga_start horseman_talk|Good day! I have come here for some riding practice, but my old bones are aching badly so I decided to give myself a rest today. If you would like to practice your horsemanship, you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her. dlga_horseman_talk horseman_challenge|Yes, I would like to practice riding. dlga_horseman_talk close_window|Uhm. Maybe later. dlga_horseman_challenge horseman_melee_challenge_2|Good. Now, I will give you a few exercises that'll teach you riding and horseback weapon use. Your first assignment is simple. Just take your horse for a ride around the course. Go as slow or as fast as you like. Come back when you feel confident as a rider and I'll give you some tougher exercises. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window|All right. I am ready. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a minute. I need to do something else first. dlga_tutorial_troop_default close_window|Hey, I am trying to practice here. Go, talk with the archery trainer if you need guidance about ranged weapons. dlga_start lord_prison_break_confirm_3|Is there a change of plans? dlga_start lord_prison_break|What's going on? dlga_start drunk_response|What are you looking at? dlga_start drunk_response.1|Are you looking at me? dlga_player_duel_response close_window|Such a waste... dlga_player_duel_response close_window.1|Better him than me dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start|I'm not sure... Some sort of animal, clearly dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start.1|Excuse me -- please accept my apologies dlga_drunk_fight_start close_window|I'll wipe that smirk right off your face! dlga_drunk_response drunk_player_high_renown|Do you have any idea who I am? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start|Do I care? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_player_high_renown|Emmm... Actually... Yes, yes, I do know who you are, {sir/madame}. Please forgive me, your grace -- it must be the drink. I'll be leaving, now... dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start.1|Why, if you want a fight, you shall have one! dlga_drunk_player_high_renown close_window|I thought as much. Now, remove yourself from here dlga_start fistfight_response|You look like a {fellow/lady} who can take a few hard knocks -- and deal them out, too. I have a business proposition for you. dlga_fistfight_response fistfight_response_2|How's that? dlga_fistfight_response_2 fistfight_response_2a|Good -- I'm glad you're interested. Here's the plan... It's a little complicated, so listen well. dlga_fistfight_response_2a fistfight_response_3|You and this other fellow will start up a fight here. No weapons, no armor -- I'll sit back and take bets, and split the profits with the winner. If we make a loss, then I'll cover it. You've got nothing to lose -- except a bit of blood, of course. dlga_fistfight_response_3 fistfight_response_4|However, we can't organize this like one of those nice arena bouts, where everyone places their bets beforehand. People will walk in, drawn by the noise, and put a denar or two on whichever one of your two they think is winning. I'll give 'em even odds -- anything else is going to be too tricky for someone who's already on his third flagon of ale. dlga_fistfight_response_4 fistfight_response_4a|So, as you can see, the trick is to stretch things out for as long as possible where it looks like you're losing, and people bet against you -- and then come back fast, and win, before the betting can turn. The best way to make money is for you to be battered almost to the floor, and then jump back off your feet and take the other guy down. However, you have to win in the end in order for me, and you, to make money. dlga_fistfight_response_4a fistfight_response_5|Also, you can't stretch the fight out too long, or people will suspect a fix. So, one of you has to take a punch every so often. I don't care whose blood is spilled, but there has to be some blood. dlga_fistfight_response_5 fistfight_response_5a|And one other thing -- my mate, your opponent, he doesn't take to well to complexity. So he's just going to come straight at you. It's up to you to supply the artistry. dlga_fistfight_response_5a fistfight_response_confirm|So, what do you think? dlga_fistfight_response_confirm close_window.1|I have better things to do dlga_start ramun_introduce_1|Good day to you, {young man/lassie}. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 ramun_introduce_2|Forgive me, you look like a trader, but I see none of your merchandise. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 close_window|Never mind. dlga_ramun_introduce_2 ramun_introduce_3|A trader? Oh, aye, I certainly am that. My merchandise is a bit different from most, however. It has to be fed and watered twice a day and tries to run away if I turn my back. dlga_ramun_introduce_3 ramun_introduce_4|Livestock? dlga_ramun_introduce_4 ramun_introduce_5|Close enough. I like to call myself the man who keeps every boat on this ocean moving. Boats are driven by oars, you see, and oars need men to pull them or they stop. That's where I come in. dlga_ramun_introduce_5 ramun_introduce_6|Galley slaves. dlga_ramun_introduce_6 ramun_introduce_7|Now you're catching on! A trading port like this couldn't survive without them. The ships lose a few hands on every voyage, so there's always a high demand. The captains come to me and they pay well. dlga_ramun_introduce_7 ramun_introduce_8|Where do the slaves come from? dlga_ramun_introduce_8 ramun_introduce_9|Mostly I deal in convicted criminals bought from the authorities. Others are prisoners of war from various nations, brought to me because I offer the best prices. However, on occasion I'll buy from privateers and other . . . 'individuals'. You can't be picky about your suppliers in this line of work. You wouldn't happen to have any prisoners with you, would you? dlga_ramun_introduce_9 ramun_introduce_10|Me? dlga_ramun_introduce_10 ramun_introduce_11|Why not? If you intend to set foot outside this town, you're going to cross swords with someone sooner or later. And, God willing, you'll come out on top. Why not make some extra money off the whole thing? Take them alive, bring them back to me, and I'll pay you fifty gold for each head. Don't much care who they are or where they come from. dlga_ramun_introduce_11 ramun_introduce_12|Hmm. I'll think about it. dlga_ramun_introduce_12 close_window|Do think about it! There's a lot of silver to be made, no mistake. More than enough for the both of us. dlga_start ramun_talk|Hello, {playername}. dlga_ramun_pre_talk ramun_talk|Anything else? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_sell_prisoners|I've brought you some prisoners, Ramun. Would you like a look? dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners ramun_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|A pleasure doing business with you. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing|How do I take somebody as prisoner? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing.1|Can you tell me again about capturing prisoners? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_have_blunt_weapon|You're new to this, aren't you? Let me explain it in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? I'm assuming you have a blunt weapon with you . . . dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Of course. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no|As a matter of fact, I don't. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Good. Then all you need to do is beat the bugger down with your weapon, and when the fighting's over you clap him in irons. It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. I don't have many requirements in my merchandise, but I do insist they be breathing when I buy them. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2|No? Heh, well, this must be your lucky day. I've got an old club lying around that I was going to throw away. It a bit battered, but still good enough bash someone until he stops moving. Here, have it. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2 ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Thanks, Ramun. Perhaps I may try my hand at it. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Alright, I'll try and expain it again in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_2 ramun_ask_about_capturing_3|Alright, I think I understand. Anything else? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_3 ramun_ask_about_capturing_4|Well, it's not as simple as all that. Blunt weapons don't do as much damage as sharp ones, so they won't bring your enemies down as quickly. And trust me, given the chance, most of the scum you run across would just as soon kill you as look at you, so don't expect any courtesy when you pull out a club instead of a sword. Moreover, having to drag prisoners to and fro will slow down your party, which is why some people simply set their prisoners free after the fighting's done. It's madness. How could anyone turn down all that silver, eh? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_4 ramun_ask_about_capturing_5|Is that everything? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_5 ramun_ask_about_capturing_7|Just one final thing. Managing prisoners safely is not an easy thing to do, you could call it a skill in itself. If you want to capture a lot of prisoners, you should try and learn the tricks of it yourself, or you won't be able to hang on to a single man you catch. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_7 ramun_pre_talk|Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_leave|I'd better be going. dlga_ramun_leave close_window|Remember, any prisoners you've got, bring them to me. I'll pay you good silver for every one. dlga_start close_window.3|I humbly request that your lordship keeps his hands where I can see them. dlga_start manhunter_talk_b|Hey, you there! You seen any outlaws around here? dlga_manhunter_talk_b manhunter_talk_b1|Yes, they went this way about an hour ago. dlga_manhunter_talk_b1 close_window|I knew it! Come on, lads, lets go get these bastards! Thanks a lot, friend. dlga_manhunter_talk_b manhunter_talk_b2|No, haven't seen any outlaws lately. dlga_manhunter_talk_b2 close_window|Bah. They're holed up in this country like rats, but we'll smoke them out yet. Sooner or later. dlga_looters_1 looters_2|{s4} dlga_looters_2 close_window|I'm not afraid of you lot. Fight me if you dare! dlga_looters_2 close_window.1|You'll have nothing of mine but cold steel, scum. dlga_start village_farmer_talk| My {lord/lady}, we're only poor farmers from the village of {s11}. {reg1?We are taking our products to the market at {s12}. We are returning from the market at {s12} back to our village.} dlga_village_farmer_talk farmer_bandit_information|I am hunting a group of bandits with the following description...

Farewell. dlga_start minister_issues|I am at your service, {sire/my lady} dlga_start close_window.4|It has been an honor to serve you, {sire/my lady} dlga_start member_castellan_talk|Yes, {playername}? What can I do for you? dlga_member_castellan_pretalk member_castellan_talk|Anything else? dlga_member_castellan_talk member_review_castle_garrison|I want to review the castle garrison. dlga_member_review_castle_garrison member_castellan_pretalk|Of course.

I've missed my family so much, I'd give anything to see them again. dlga_member_chat member_lady_1|{playername}, when do you think we can reach our destination? dlga_member_lady_1 member_lady_2a|We still have a long way ahead of us. dlga_member_lady_1 member_lady_2b|Very soon. We're almost there. dlga_member_lady_2a close_window|Ah, I am going to enjoy the road for a while longer then. I won't complain. I find riding out in the open so much more pleasant than sitting in the castle all day. You know, I envy you. You can live like this all the time. dlga_member_lady_2b close_window|That's good news.

My second will retrieve you shortly after dawn. Remember he'll be under orders to pop you if he sees the authorities. dlga_start_smuggling_1 start_smuggling_1a|Greetings. I trust you've rested well? dlga_start_smuggling_1a start_smuggling_1b|I slept fine. dlga_start_smuggling_1a start_smuggling_1c|I don't suppose you're really here to ask that. dlga_start_smuggling_1b start_smuggling_2|That's good to hear. You'll need your strength in a place like this. dlga_start_smuggling_1c start_smuggling_2|Straight to the point, aren't you? dlga_start_smuggling_2 start_smuggling_3|Anyway, I didn't come here to make small talk. No, I'm here to come clean with you. dlga_start_smuggling_3 start_smuggling_3a|I wasn't merely a tavern drunk that nobly offered his services. Truthfully, I am a customs inspector and I've been following the man you duelled for weeks. He's involved with a group of violent smugglers we've been trying to track down for months. I'd been intending to arrest him, but when you bumped into him I figured his death in a duel would accomplish the same thing, only without all the paper work. dlga_start_smuggling_3a start_smuggling_4|What's your meaning telling me all this? dlga_start_smuggling_4 start_smuggling_4a|Well, you've proved yourself a useful sort and we need all the good men we can get. Now, it's dangerous work but it puts a little coin in your pocket dlga_start_smuggling_4a start_smuggling_4b|And if I have no interest in this line of work? dlga_start_smuggling_4a start_smuggling_4c|Danger? Money? Presumably women? Where do I sign up? dlga_start_smuggling_4b start_smuggling_5|I'm afraid that without your cooperation, I'll have no way to protect you from the ramifications of your illegal duel. The penalty for such a crime is death. That in mind, I suspect you'll be willing to help. dlga_start_smuggling_4c start_smuggling_5|Ha ha! Now that's what I like to hear. dlga_start_smuggling_5 start_smuggling_6|Any way. Our main impediment to eradicating these smugglers is our present difficulty in uncovering the location of their hiding place. None of my runners have succeeded in tracking them and none we've captured have talked. There may be some luck in store for us yet, though; we've recently noticed a new greenhorn running with the group. If we're fortunate he'll still be soft and we'll be able to work the location out of him. dlga_start_smuggling_6 start_smuggling_6a|He and a few of the other smugglers are presently working as duffers on the roads outside town, imposing false contraband upon gullible bumpkins at inflated prices. If you can capture him and dispatch his accomplices we may be able to extract from him the information we need. Gather some local men if you have to and look for them on the roads around town. I'll be here waiting for your report. dlga_start_smuggling_6a start_smuggling_7|Why send me? Aren't you and your men better suited to this? dlga_start_smuggling_7 close_window|They've as many spies as we do and they know us as well as we know them. They won't recognise you, though. You'll be able to get by their look-outs without them bolting. Good luck and try not to get killed. dlga_start close_window.5|What are you bothering me for? Go and capture that smuggler. It is of great import that you do so as quickly as you can. dlga_start close_window.6|Was there anything else? No? Then if you don't mind I have some celebrating to do. dlga_start start_smuggling_found_1|My spies have reported on your success. Excellent work. I'd say you've earned a few coins. dlga_start_smuggling_found_1 close_window|Now that we know where those bastards are hiding, I'll gather my officers and runners together for an attack. Let me know when you're ready to join us, and don't bother me until then. Hurry, though, they'll surely notice some of their men are missing before long. dlga_start close_window.7|Ready to go? Very well, let's join my men. dlga_start start_final_1|Ha ha! What a fight that was. We really showed those bastards, didn't we? I told you they wouldn't go unhanged, didn't I? Anyway, they commanded a considerable bounty which I'll gladly share with you. dlga_start close_window.8|Are we not finished? take off and let me enjoy my drink. dlga_start start_final_1.1|That was a nasty wound you received. Still, we persevered without you. Now, for your help locating the den you'll get a part of the bounty those smugglers commanded, but understand that because you weren't a whole lot of help in the fight it'll be a reduced cut. dlga_start_final_1 start_final_1a|With this business finally concluded I suppose I'll move on to other work. Consider you're debt to me repaid. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future. Until then, I bid thee farewell. dlga_start_final_1a close_window|Better not make our next meeting too soon. dlga_start_final_1a close_window.1|You're an odd man, though perhaps not an entirely unamusing one. dlga_start_duel_won close_window|I suppose that's the last frivolous duel he'll be fighting, the fool. I must congratulate you on your victory. Perhaps you should go get some rest now. You've earned it. dlga_start_duel_violated close_window|Firing before the command is a reprehensible act! We must reset and try it again. Do not repeat your mistake! dlga_start_duel_failed close_window|It seems satisfaction has not been had. We'll reload and try again. dlga_start_duel_1 start_duel_1a|Your opponent has left it up to you to choose the manner of your duel. Will it be pistols or swords? dlga_start_duel_1a start_duel_2|Pistols it is. dlga_start_duel_1a start_duel_2a|I'm better with a sword. dlga_start_duel_2 close_window|Very well, pistols it is. Stand your ground and hold your fire until I give the command. If no one is hit, we'll reload and try again. Remember to keep a steady hand. dlga_start_duel_2a close_window|I hope you're good with a blade. The winner is the last one able to stand. Your opponent is a hot-headed sort and will be constantly on the offence. Use that to your advantage. dlga_start_up_quest_1_next close_window|Are you all right? Well.... I guess you're alive, at any rate. I'm not sure that we can say the same for the other fellow. That's one less thief to trouble our streets at night, although Heaven knows he won't be the last.... Anyway, maybe you can help me with something. Let's talk more inside. Out here, we don't know who's listening dlga_start merchant_quest_2a|Splendid work. You have hired enough men to take on the bandits. Now -- travellers entering {s9} have told us that there is a small group of robbers lurking on the outside of town. I suspect that they are all from the same band, the one that took my brother. Hunt them down and defeat them, and make them disclose the location of their lair! dlga_start merchant_quest_3a|So, you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work. I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of character, and you look to be a {man/woman} who can get things done. Now, go out and save his unworthy hide! dlga_start merchant_quest_3b|Well... My brother is home safe. I'm not sure what to do with him -- maybe pack him off to a university outside Europe. That way, if he gets knocked on the head in a street brawl, no one can say it's my fault. But that's not your problem. Here's the rest of your reward. It was well-earned. dlga_merchant_quest_3b merchant_quest_4a|The money is most welcome, and I am glad to have been of service dlga_merchant_quest_4a merchant_quest_4b|Good! Now... Are you interested in making some more? dlga_merchant_quest_4b merchant_quest_4b1|Possibly. What do you need? dlga_merchant_quest_4b1 merchant_quest_4b2|Remember how I told you that the bandits had an ally inside the walls? I think I know who it is -- the captain of the watch, no less. Some months ago this captain, seeing the amount of profit we merchants were making from trade across the frontiers, decided to borrow some money to sponsor a caravan. Unfortunately, like many who are new to commerce, he failed to realize that great profit only comes with great risk. So he sank all his money into the most expensive commodities, and of course his caravan was captured and looted, and he lost everything. dlga_merchant_quest_4b2 merchant_quest_4b3|As a consequence, it seems, our captain turned to villainy to recoup his fortune. I supposed I'd do the same if, the Heavens forbid, I ever faced indebtedness and ruination. Now, any watch captain worth his salary will have a few thieves and robbers on his payroll, to inform on the rest, but our captain decides to employ these bastards wholesale. He brings them into the town, lets them do as they will, and takes a share of their take. You've heard of poachers turning gamekeepers? Well, in the unfortunate land of Europe, sometimes gamekeepers will turn poacher. Luckily, there's are still a few brave, honest souls in the watch who've told me how he works. dlga_merchant_quest_4b3 merchant_quest_4b4|Now -- here's my plan. I could bring this to the attention of {s4}, lord of the city, but that would mean an inquiry, my word against the captain's, and witnesses can be bought and evidence destroyed, or maybe the whole thing will be forgotten if the enemy comes across the border again, and all I'll get for my trouble is a knife in the ribs. In time of war, you see, a king's eye wanders far from his domain, and his subjects suffer. So I've got another idea. I've got a small group of townsfolk together, some men in my employ and some others who've lost relatives to these bandits, and we'll storm the captain's home and bring him in chains before {s4}, hopefully with a few captured bandits to explain how things stack up. dlga_merchant_quest_4b4 merchant_quest_4b5|All I need now is someone to lead my little army into battle -- and I can't think of anyone better than you. So, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b5 merchant_quest_4b6|How do I know that you're telling me the truth? dlga_merchant_quest_4b6 merchant_quest_4b7|Oh, well, I suppose it's possible that I found a dozen bandits who were willing to give their lives to give a passing stranger a false impression of life in old {s4}... Well, I guess you can't really know if my word is good, but I reckon you've learned by now that my money is good, and there's another 100 gold, or maybe a bit more, that's waiting for you if you'll do me this last little favor. So what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4b8|All right. I'll lead your men. dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4_decline|I'm sorry. This is too much, too fast. I need time to think. dlga_merchant_quest_4b8 merchant_quest_4b9|Splendid. It's been a long time since I staked so much on a single throw of the dice, and frankly I find it exhilarating. My men are ready to move on your word. Are you ready? dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_accept|Yes. Give them the sign. dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_decline|Not now. I will need to rest before I can fight again. dlga_merchant_quest_4_accept close_window|Good! Now -- strike hard, strike fast, and the captain and his henchmen won't know what hit them. May the heavens be with you! dlga_merchant_quest_4_decline close_window|Right. I can keep my men standing by. If you let this go too long, then I suppose that I shall have to finish this affair without you, but I would be most pleased if you could be part of it as well. For now, take what time you need. dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window|Very well. I shall hunt for bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_2a merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome|Why don't you come with us? dlga_merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome merchant_quest_2a|Because I'm paying you to go take care of it. That's the short answer. The long answer is that I've got some leads to follow up here in town, and I have just as much chance of getting knocked on my head as you, if that's what you're asking. But I respect your question. Now, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window|Very well. I go now to attack the bandits in their lair, and find your brother. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_start merchant_quest_persuasion|You may do as you wish, {sir/my lady}, but I am disappointed. You would do well to reconsider. I am a rich men, and would show you my gratitude in coin. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_1_prologue_3|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_2|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_3|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion merchant_quest_4b8|You make a persuasive case. I will help you. dlga_merchant_quest_persuasion close_window|As I say, I have more important business elsewhere. dlga_merchant_quest_2 merchant_quest_2a|Now -- go find and defeat that group of bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_3 merchant_quest_3a|Now -- go attack that bandit hideout, get my brother back, and show those brigands what happens to those who threaten my household. dlga_start close_screen|Oh -- thank the heavens... Thank the heavens... Am I safe? dlga_start merchant_closing_statement_2|Ah... {playername}. Things didn't go quite so well as I had hoped. {s5} couldn't quite find it in him to overlook my little breach of the peace. Oh, he's grateful enough that I got rid of his crooked captain -- a guard who'll let in bandits will let in an enemy army, if the price is right -- but he can't exactly have me running around here as a lasting reminder of his failure to take care of things himself. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_2 merchant_closing_statement_3|That hardly seems fair... dlga_merchant_closing_statement_3 merchant_closing_statement_4|Fair? This is Europe, {my boy/my lady}! Kings do what they will, and the rest of us do as they must. He didn't string me up, and instead gave me time to sell my properties -- even put in a word with the other merchants that they best pay me a fair price, too. That's gracious enough, as kings go -- but he's a weak king, as they all are here, and weak kings must always look to their authority first, and justice second. I suppose I'd do the same, in his shoes. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_4 close_window|Anyway, I wouldn't go rubbing your part in this affair in {s5}'s face -- but he's taken note of you, and decided that you're not worth hanging, and that's something to which I'll raise a glass any day of the week. He might even have work for you, further down the road. Or, you can sell your sword to one of his competitors. Anyway, I hope you've learned a bit about what it will take to stay alive in this troubled land, and I suspect that the money you've earned won't go to waste. Good luck. dlga_merchant_quests_last_word close_window|I am preparing to leave town in a short while. It's been an honor to know you.

Well, good hunting to you. dlga_lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_rejected lord_pretalk|As you wish, {playername}.I suppose there are plenty of bounty hunters around to get the job done . . . dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant|The wretched truth is that I owe a considerable sum of money to one of the merchants here in {s3}. I've no intention of paying it back, of course, but that loud-mouthed fool is making a terrible fuss about it. He even had the audacity to come and threaten me -- me! -- with a letter of complaint to the trade guilds and bankers. Why, he'd ruin my good reputation! So I need a {man/woman} I can trust, someone who will guarantee the man's silence. For good. dlga_lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant lord_mission_accepted_kill_local_merchant|Worry not, he shan't breathe a word. dlga_lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant lord_mission_rejected|I'm no common murderer, sir. Find someone else for your dirty job. dlga_lord_mission_accepted_kill_local_merchant close_window|Very good. I trust in your skill and discretion, {playername}. Do not disappoint me. Go now and wait for my word, I'll send you a message telling when and where you can catch the merchant. Dispose of him for me and I shall reward you generously. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town|I have a sensitive matter which needs tending to, {playername}, and no trustworthy retainers to take care of it. The fact is that I have a spy in {s13} to keep an eye on things for me, and report anything that might warrant my attention. Every week I send someone to collect the spy's reports and bring them back to me. The job's yours if you wish it. dlga_lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted|I don't mind a bit of skullduggery. Count me in. dlga_lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_rejected|I must decline. This cloak-and-dagger work isn't fit for me. dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Excellent! Make your way to {s13} as soon as you can, the spy will be waiting. dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_2|{s13} is heavily defended. How can I get close without being noticed? dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_2 quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|You shall have to use stealth. Take care to avoid enemy strongholds, villages and patrols, and don't bring too many men with you. If you fail to sneak in the first time, give it a while for the garrison to lower its guard again, or you may have a difficult time infiltrating the town. dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_3|How will I recognise the spy? dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_3 quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Once you get to {s13} you must talk to the locals, the spy will be one of them. If you think you've found the spy, say the phrase '{s11}' The spy will respond with the phrase '{s12}' Thus you will know the other, and {reg7?she he} will give you any information {reg7?she he}'s gathered in my service. dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_4|Will I be paid? dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_4 quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Of course, I have plenty of silver in my coffers for loyal {men/women} like you.

Remember, the secret phrase is '{s11}' The counterphrase is '{s12}' Bring any reports back to me, and I'll compensate you for your trouble. dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_rejected lord_pretalk|As you wish, {playername}, but I strongly advise you to forget anything I told you about any spies. They do not exist, have never existed, and no one will ever find them. Remember that. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war|This peace with {s13} ill suits me, {playername}. We've let those swine have their way for far too long. Now they get stronger with each passing and their arrogance knows no bounds. I say, we must wage war on them before it's too late! Unfortunately, some of the bleeding hearts among our realm's lords are blocking a possible declaration of war. Witless cowards with no stomach for blood. dlga_lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_2|You are right, {s65}, but what can we do? dlga_lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_1|I disagree, sir. It is better that there be peace. dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_2 lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3|Ah, 'tis good to hear someone who understands! As a matter of fact, there is something we can do, {playername}. A little bit of provocation... If one of our war parties managed to enter their territory and pillage one of their caravans, or raided one of their villages, and perhaps left behind a little token or two of the {s14}, they would have ample cause to declare war on us. And then, well, even the cowards among us must rise to defend themselves. So what do you say? Are you interested? dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3 quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted|An excellent plan. Count me in. dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3 lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_4|Why don't you do that yourself? dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_4 lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5|Well, {playername}, some of the lords in our kingdom won't like the idea of someone inciting a war without their consent. They are already looking for an excuse to get at me, and if I did this they could make me pay for it dearly. You, on the other hand, are young and well-liked and daring, so you might just get away with it. And of course I will back you up and defend your actions against your opponents. All in all, a few lords might be upset at your endeavour, but I am sure you won't be bothered with that. dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5 quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted|That seems reasonable. I am willing to do this. dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5 quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_2|I don't like this. Find yourself someone else to take the blame for your schemes. dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted close_window|Very good! A raid on a caravan, or, if you can't manage that, an attack on one of their villages, should do the trick. Now, good luck and good hunting. Go set the borders aflame! dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_1 lord_pretalk|Ah, you think so? But how long will your precious peace last? Not long, believe me. dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_2 lord_pretalk|Hm. As you wish, {playername}. I thought you had some fire in you, but it seems I was wrong. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told.1|Well, some of the serfs working my fields in {s4} have run away. The ungrateful swine, I let them plough my fields and rent my cottages, and this is how they repay me! From what I've been hearing, they're running to {s3} as fast as they can, and have split up into three groups to try and avoid capture. I want you to capture all three groups and fetch them back to {s4} by whatever means necessary. I should really have them hanged for attempting to escape, but we need hands for the upcoming harvest, so I'll let them go off this time with a good beating. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_tell_mission_follow_spy|I have good information that a man in this very town is actually an enemy spy. He should be seized and hanged for his impudence, but we also believe that very soon he will leave town to meet with his master, the man to whom the spy feeds all his little whispers. The spy himself is of little import, but the master is a dangerous man, and could tell us a great deal if we could only get our hands on him... dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2|I want you to wait here until the spy leaves town. Then you must follow him, stealthily, to the meeting place. You must take absolute care not to be seen by the spy on your way, else he may suspect foul play and turn back. When the master appears, you must ambush and arrest them and bring the pair back to me. Alive, if you please. dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2 lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_accepted|I'll do it, {s65}. dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2 lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_rejected|No, this skulking is not for me. dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_accepted close_window|Good, I'm sure you'll do a fine job of it. One of my men will point the spy out to you when he leaves, so you will know the man to follow. Remember, I want them both, and I want them alive. dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_rejected lord_pretalk|A shame. Well, carry on as you were, {playername}... dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero|There is a difficult job I need done, {playername}, and you may be the {man/one} who can carry it off. I need someone to capture one of the noble lords of {s13} and bring him to me. Afterwards, I'll be able to exchange him in return for a relative of mine held by {s13}. It is a simple enough job, but whomever you choose will be guarded by an elite band of personal retainers. Are you up for a fight? dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_accepted|Consider it done, {s65}. dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_rejected|I must refuse, {s65}. I am not a kidnapper. dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_accepted close_window|I like your spirit! Go and bring me one of our enemies, and I'll toast your name in my hall when you return! And reward you for your efforts, of course... dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_rejected lord_pretalk|Clearly you lack the mettle I had thought you possessed. Very well, {playername}, I will find someone else. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_tell_mission_lend_companion|I don't have a job for you right now, but your companion {s3} is a skilled {reg3?lass fellow} and I need someone with {reg3?her his} talents. Will you lend {reg3?her him} to me for a while? dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_2|How long will you be needing {reg3?her him}? dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_2 lord_mission_lend_companion_told|Just a few days, a week at most. dlga_lord_mission_lend_companion_told lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_accepted|Then I will leave {s3} with you for one week. dlga_lord_mission_lend_companion_told lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_rejected|I am sorry, but I cannot do without {s3} for a whole week. dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_accepted close_window|I cannot thank you enough, {playername}. Worry not, your companion shall be returned to you with due haste. dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_rejected lord_pretalk|Well, that's damned unfortunate, but I suppose I cannot force you or {s3} to agree. I shall have to make do without. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_tell_mission_collect_debt|Some time ago, I loaned out a considerable sum of money to {s3}. {reg4} gold, to be precise. He was supposed to pay it back within a month but I haven't received a copper from him since. That was months ago. If you could collect the debt from him on my behalf, I would be grateful indeed. I would even let you keep one fifth of the money for your trouble. What do you say? dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_2|Do you know where I can find {s3}, {s65}? dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_2 lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3|If you leave now, you should be able to find him at {s4}. I've no doubt that he will be suitably embarassed by his conduct and give you all the money he owes me. dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3 lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_accepted|Then I will talk to {s3} on your behalf. dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3 lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_rejected|Forgive me, {s65}, but I doubt I would be more successful than yourself. dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_accepted close_window|You made me very happy by accepting this {playername}. Please, talk to {s3} and don't leave him without my money. dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_rejected lord_pretalk|Perhaps not, {playername}. I suppose I'm never getting that money back... dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander|I tell you, that blubbering fool {s13} is not fit to rule {s14}. God knows he would be divested of his lands in an instant were it not for one of his loyal vassals, {s15}. As long as he has his vassal aiding him, it will be a difficult job beating him. So I need to get {s15} out of the picture, and I have a plan just to do that... With your help, naturally. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_2|{s66}, I am all ears. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|I don't wish to involve myself in anything dishonourable against {s15}. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected lord_pretalk|Dishonourable? Bah! I was hoping I could count on you, {playername}, but you've shown me what a fool I was. I shall have to find someone whose loyalty I can trust. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_2 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3|I have written a fake letter to {s15}, bearing my own seal, which implicates him in a conspiracy with us to stage a coup in {s14}, in my favour. If we can make {s13} believe the letter is genuine, he will deal with {s15} very swiftly. Of course, the challenge there is to convince {s13} that the letter is indeed real... dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_4|Please continue, {s65}... dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|No, I will not sully myself with this dishonourable scheme. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_4 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_5|This is where you come into play. You'll take the letter to {s14}, then give it to one of your soldiers and instruct him to take it to {s15}. I will have one of my spies inform the town garrison so that your man will be arrested on his way. The guards will then find the letter and take it to {s13}. They'll torture your man, of course, to try and get the truth out of him, but all he knows is that you ordered the letter to be delivered to {s15} under the utmost secrecy. {s13} knows you serve me, and the fool will certainly believe the whole charade. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_5 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_7|Is that all? dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_7 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8|There is one more thing... Your messenger must be someone trustworthy. If you sent the letter with a simple peasant, someone expendable, {s13} might suspect a plot. He may have the wits of a snail, but even a snail can see the obvious. Give the letter to someone of rank. One of your {s9}, perhaps. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_9|What? I can't send one of my trusted {s9} to his death! dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin|Then a {s8} it will be. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_9 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10|Come now, {playername}. There is a place for sentimentality, but this is not it. Believe me, you shall be generously compensated, and what is the purpose of soldiers if not to die at our say-so? dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin|A {s8} it is. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10 lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|No, I'll not sacrifice one of my chosen men. dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin lord_pretalk|I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that, {playername}. You are removing one of the greatest obstacles in my path. Here is the letter, as well as 30 gold for your expenses. Remember, there'll be more once you succeed. Much, much more... dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told.2|A group of my soldiers were captured in a recent skirmish with the enemy. Thankfully we have a mutual agreement of prisoner exchange, and they will release my men, but they want us to give them prisoners of equal rank and number. Prisoners I don't currently have. So, I need a good {man/warrior} to find me {reg1} {s3} as prisoners, that I may exchange them. dlga_lord_tell_mission lord_pretalk|No {playername}.

Thus I hoped that you would be kind enough to assist me in something important to me. dlga_lord_leave_give_quest enemy_lord_tell_mission|I am listening. dlga_enemy_lord_tell_mission lord_mission_told|I have a friend here, an old warrior, who is very sick. Pestilence has infected an old battle wound, and unless he is seen to by a surgeon soon, he will surely die. This man is dear to me, {playername}, but he's also stubborn as a hog and refuses to have anyone look at his injury because he doesn't trust the physicians here. I have heard that you've a capable surgeon with you. If you would let your surgeon come here and have a look, {reg3?she he} may be able to convince him to give his consent to an operation.

However, we must establish a court before hosting a feast. dlga_spouse_organize_feast spouse_pretalk.2|A splendid idea, my {husband/wife}. However, our realm has recently had a feast. Perhaps we should wait another {reg3} days before we organize another one. dlga_spouse_organize_feast spouse_evaluate_larder_for_feast|A splendid idea, my {husband/wife}. However, to not insult our guests, we must make sure that we can provide a large and varied repast, for the lords, their families, and their retinues.

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

I can only hope that your honour and mercy matches your valor. str_comment_intro_female_noble_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_noble_martial|I do not recognize the device on your banner, but clearly you are a lady of rank. Please consider me your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_noble_badtempered|I don't recognize the device on that banner. Clearly another foreigner come to our lands, bringing their strange ways. str_comment_intro_female_noble_pitiless|I see that you carry a noble's banner, but I do not recognize the device... You should know, lady, that in Calradia it is the men to ride to war, and if you seek to overturn the natural order of things, you will find your fair head stuck on a pike -- like that of any other rebel! str_comment_intro_female_noble_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Calradia, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_noble_sadistic|You appear to be of noble rank, but I don't recognize your banner. Clearly, another foreigner come to our shores -- no doubt from a land where men are weak, and the women ride to war in their place! str_comment_intro_female_noble_goodnatured|I see that you carry a nobleman's banner, but I do not recognize the device. Forgive my ignorance,, my lady! It is good to make your acquaintance. str_comment_intro_female_noble_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war. Please do not take this amiss, my lady, for you have every right to protect yourself, but I cannot pretend to be fully comfortable with your decision to fight in battle. I would prefer that women be untouched by these wars, as I believe the female to be the custodian of what little gentility and tenderness remains to us. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_martial|Greetings, my lady. Although I see from your demeanor that you are not a conventional maiden, I hope that you are not averse to a declaration of admiration from me, your most humble servant. str_comment_intro_female_badtempered_admiring|Heh. Fancy this -- a maiden, all equipped for war. Well, it's a strange sight, but in your case, I can imagine that it might grow on me. str_comment_intro_female_pitiless_admiring|It is unusual to see a woman girt for war. Be careful, my lady -- it is a harsh world, and it would be a shame to see such beauty marred by a sword-blow. str_comment_intro_female_cunning_admiring|Greetings, my lady. Please do not think it forward, if I say that it is unusual to see a woman caparisoned for war. I hope that one day I may be the father of a daughter possessed of such bravery and spirit. str_comment_intro_female_sadistic_admiring|What have we here! A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I dare say that one as fair as you could lend a touch of femininity even to a mail hauberk. str_comment_intro_female_admiring_goodnatured|My lady, if you are skilled as arms as you are fair in countenance, then your enemies should indeed fear you! str_comment_intro_female_admiring_upstanding|Greetings, my lady. Even with the dust of the march upon your clothes and gear, I can see that you are not lacking in the graces of your noble sex. str_comment_intro_female_common_liege|It is not often that I meet a woman who aspires to lead men into battle. But these are dark and troubled times, and I for one will not turn away hands that can grip a sword, should their owner be brave and loyal. str_comment_intro_female_common_martial|I must say, my lady -- do be careful, riding about this dangerous land. If you ever wished to seek a more... em... settled life, I'm sure I could find you a worthy husband from among my men. str_comment_intro_female_common_badtempered|By the way, girl -- does your husband know that you nicked his weapons and armor? I'll bet you're in for a right old beating when you get home! str_comment_intro_female_common_pitiless|These are fallen times indeed, when even women turn brigand, to pick the leavings from the wreckage of war. str_comment_intro_female_common_cunning|It is not unheard-of for a woman to seek her fortune on the battlefields of Calradia, but neither is it usual. I shall be most interested in your progress. str_comment_intro_female_common_sadistic|A woman, caparisoned for war! Well, I suppose that you're no more womanly than most of those in my service who call themselves warriors. str_comment_intro_female_common_goodnatured|From the look of you, I suppose you can handle yourself, but do be careful out there, my lady. str_comment_intro_female_common_upstanding|It is not every day that we see a woman caparisoned for war.

Let us once again give thanks to heaven, and pray that we not grow too proud. str_comment_we_fought_in_major_battle_default|I will not forget how we fought side by side at the great battle near {s51}. I am honoured to have fought by your side. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_liege|So, you crossed swords with that rascal they call {s54}, and emerged victorious. I am very happy to hear that. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you fought and defeated {s54}. Every dog has its day, I suppose. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_spiteful|I heard that you fought and defeated that dog {s54}. Ah, if only I could have heard him whimpering for mercy. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_chivalrous|I heard that you fought and defeated {s54}. I hope that you did not use dishonourable means to do so. str_comment_you_defeated_a_lord_allied|I heard that you fought and defeated {s54}. I wish you joy of your victory. str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy_chivalrous|I will not begrudge you your victory the last time that we met, but I am anxious for another round! str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy_spiteful|I have been looking forward to meeting you again. Your tricks will not deceive me a second time, and I will relish hearing your cries for mercy. str_comment_you_defeated_me_enemy|When last we met, {playername}, you had the better of me. But I assure you that it will not happen again! str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_spiteful|Back for more? Make me fight you again, and I'll feed your bowels to my hounds. str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_chivalrous|Come to test your valor against me again, {playername}? str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_benevolent|So once again you come at me? Will you ever learn? str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy_coldblooded|You are persistent, but a nuisance. str_comment_i_defeated_you_enemy|How many times must I chastise you before you learn to keep your distance? str_comment_we_were_defeated_unfriendly_spiteful|Last I saw you, you had been struck down by the men of {s54}. I blame you for that disaster. What a pity to see that you survived. str_comment_we_were_defeated_unfriendly|Last I saw you, you had been struck down by the men of {s54}. Well, I see that you survived. str_comment_we_were_defeated_cruel|Last I saw you, you had been struck down by the men of {s54}. Don't worry -- we'll find him, and make him choke on his victory. str_comment_we_were_defeated_default|Last I saw you, you had been struck down by the men of {s54}. It is good to see you alive and well. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_friendly_spiteful|I heard that {s54} gave you a hard time. Don't worry, friend -- I'll find him for you, and make you a gift of his head. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly_cruel|I had heard that {s54} slaughtered your men like sheep. But here you are, alive. Such a disappointment! str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_spiteful|I heard that {s54} crushed you underfoot like an ant. Hah! Children should not play games made for grown-ups, little {boy/girl}! str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_pitiless|I heard that {s54} defeated you, and scattered your forces. That is most disappointing... str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly_upstanding|I heard that {s54} defeated you. Perhaps you should consider if you have considered any misdeeds, that might cause heaven to rebuke you in this way. str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied_unfriendly|I heard that {s54} defeated you. Look, try not to get too many of our men killed, will you? str_comment_you_were_defeated_allied|I heard that {s54} defeated you. But take heart -- the tables will soon be turned! str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_unfriendly_chivalrous|I heard that you saved {s54} from likely defeat. Whatever else I may think of you, I must at least commend you for that. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_liege|I heard that you saved my vassal {s54} from likely defeat. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you rode to the rescue of our poor {s54}. Did you think him a damsel in distress? No matter -- it's a common mistake. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_spiteful|I heard that you saved {s54} from a whipping. You should have let him learn his lesson, in my opinion. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_chivalrous|I heard that you got {s54} out of a tight spot. That was a noble deed. str_comment_you_helped_my_ally_default|I heard that you got {s54} out of a tight spot. Good work! str_comment_you_abandoned_us_unfriendly_spiteful|You worm! You left us alone to face {s54}, didn't you? I spit at you. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_unfriendly_pitiless|Well... You abandoned me in the middle of a battle with {s54}, didn't you? I'll see you buried in a traitor's grave. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_spiteful|You disappeared in the middle of that battle with {s54}... I hope you have a good explanation. Did your bowels give out? Were you shaking too hard with fear to hold your weapon? str_comment_you_abandoned_us_chivalrous|What happened? You disappeared in the middle of that battle against {s54}. I can only hope that you were too badly wounded to stand, for I would be ashamed to have gone into battle alongside a coward. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_benefitofdoubt|What happened? You disappeared in the middle of that battle against {s54}. I assume that you must have been wounded, but it did look suspicious. str_comment_you_abandoned_us_default|What happened? One moment you were fighting with us against {s54}, the next moment you were nowhere to be found? str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_spiteful|Last time we met, you ran from me like a whipped dog. Have you come back to bark at me again, or to whine for mercy? str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_chivalrous|Last time we met, you fled from me. Learn to stand and fight like a gentleman! str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_benevolent|When I saw you flee the last time that we met, I had hoped that I would not have to fight you again. str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy_coldblooded|Last time we met, you fled from me. That was a wise decision str_comment_you_ran_from_me_enemy|You may have been able to escape the last time we crossed paths, but the next time I doubt that you be so lucky. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_chivalrous|They say that you fled from {s54}, leaving your men behind. I pray that this is not true, for such conduct does dishonour to us all. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_upstanding|They say that you fled from {s54}, leaving your men behind. I do not always believe such rumors, and I also know that desperate straits call for desperate measures. But I beg you to take more care of your good name, for men will not fight in our armies if they hear that we abandon them on the field of battle. str_comment_you_ran_from_foe_allied_spiteful|By the way, they said that you ran away from {s54} like a quaking little rabbit, leaving your men behind to be butchered. Ha! What a sight that would have been to see! str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_pragmatic|You may have bested {s54}, but you cannot defeat us all. str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_chivalrous|I have heard that you defeated {s54}, and ever since have been anxious to cross swords with you. str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy_spiteful|Your fame runs before you, {playername}. {s54} may have fallen for your tricks, but if you fight me, you'll find a me a much more slippery foe. str_comment_you_defeated_my_friend_enemy|They say that you have defeated {s54}. But I will be a truer test of your skill at arms. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_friendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}. I hope that you squeezed him for every denar. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}. Your coffers must be well-bloated with ransom by now. Such a pity that money cannot transform a low-born cur into a gentleman! str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|I heard that you captured {s54}. Well done. I assume, of course, that he has been been treated with the honours due his rank. str_comment_you_captured_a_lord_allied|I heard that you captured {s54}. Well done. His ransom must be worth quite something. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_chivalrous|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Such chivalry does a credit to our cause. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_upstanding|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Well, that was an honourable course of action, if possibly also a dangerous one. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_coldblooded|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. That was most chivalrous of you, but chivalry does not win wars. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. How very chivalrous of you! No doubt the widows and orphans he leaves in his wake will want to commend you in person. str_comment_you_let_go_a_lord_allied|I heard that you captured {s54}, but then let him go. Well, I will not tell you what to do with your own prisoners. str_comment_you_let_me_go_spiteful|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. I hope you enjoyed toying with me, like a cat with a mouse, because soon I will have you at my mercy, to slay or humiliate according to my fancy. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy_chivalrous|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. That was most chivalrous of you, and I will not forget. But I also must remember my oath to my liege, and our kingdoms are still at war. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy_coldblooded|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. But we are still enemies, and I cannot promise to repay your mercy in kind. str_comment_you_let_me_go_enemy|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. That was kind of you. But we are still at war. str_comment_you_let_me_go_default|When last we met, you had me at your mercy and allowed me to go free. That was kind of you, and I am glad that our kingdoms are no longer at war. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_martial_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Pray do not disgrace us by behaving in a cowardly fashion. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_martial|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. I look forward to fighting alongside you against our foes. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_quarrelsome_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Bah. Do yourself a favor, and stay out of my way. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_quarrelsome|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Fight hard against our foes, respect your betters, and don't cross me, and we'll get along fine. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_selfrighteous_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. If I were he, I would not trust you to clean the sculleries. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_selfrighteous|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Fight bravely and you will be well-rewarded. Betray us, and we shall make of you the kind of example that will not soon be forgotten. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_cunning_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. I do not pretend to be happy about his decision, but perhaps it is better to have you inside our tent pissing out, than the other way around. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_cunning|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. That is good. The more skilled fighters we have with us in these troubled times, the better. I shall be watching your progress. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_debauched_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. No doubt you will soon betray him, and I will have the pleasure of watching you die a traitor's death. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_debauched|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Excellent... I am sure that you and I will become very good friends. But remember -- if you betray us, it will be the biggest mistake you will ever make. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_goodnatured_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Well, I can't say that I would have trusted you, but perhaps you deserve the benefit of the doubt. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_goodnatured|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Good {man/woman}! Our lord is a noble soul, and rewards loyalty and valor with kindness and generosity. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_upstanding_unfriendly|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Alas, from what I know of you I fear that you will disgrace us, but I will be happy if you prove me wrong. str_comment_pledged_allegiance_allied_upstanding|I heard that you have pledged allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Fight against our foes with valor, but also with honour and compassion. A good name is as valuable as a sharp sword or a swift horse in affairs of arms. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_friendly_cruel|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. Don't forget -- spare the whip and spoil the peasant! str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_friendly_cynical|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. I am glad to see you prosper -- but be careful. Men are vipers, envious and covetous of their neighbours' wealth. Stay close to me, and I'll watch your back. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_friendly|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. May your new lands prosper. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_unfriendly_upstanding|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. But keep in mind that pride goes before a fall. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_unfriendly_spiteful|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. I suspect, however, that fortune is only raising you up so as to humble you even more, when it casts you back into the dung from whence you came. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied_spiteful|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. Let's hope you are indeed deserving of our lord's favor. str_comment_our_king_granted_you_a_fief_allied|I heard that {s54} granted you {s51} as a fief. You seem to be doing very well for yourself. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_enemy_friendly|I heard that you renounced your allegiance to our lord, {s54}. It grieves me that we must now meet on the field of battle. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_friendly|I heard that you renounced your allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Let us pray that we may not come to blows. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_unfriendly_spiteful|I always had you figured for a traitor to {s54}, and now it seems I was proven right. I hope you are prepared to die a traitor's death! str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_unfriendly_moralizing|I heard that you renounced your allegiance to our lord, {s54}. I am forced to consider you a traitor. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_enemy|I heard that you renounced your allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Well, it is the way of the world for old comrades to become enemies. str_comment_you_renounced_your_alliegance_default|I heard that you renounced your allegiance to our lord, {s54}. Well, that is your decision, but do not expect me to go easy on you when we meet on the battlefield. str_comment_you_claimed_the_throne_1_player_liege|My informants tell me that some people in this realm are speaking of you as the next king. I assume that you will quickly put a stop to such idle and dangerous talk. str_comment_you_claimed_the_throne_2_player_liege|My informants tell me that some of your companions have telling the peasants that you have a claim to the throne. I sincerely hope that they have been acting without your orders. str_comment_lord_intervened_against_me|It is well known that I had quarreled with {s54}, and {s50} ruled in my rival's favor. str_comment_i_protested_marshall_appointment|It is well known that I had protested {s54}'s decision to appoint {s51} as marshal. str_comment_i_blamed_defeat|It is well known that I am dissatisfied with {s54} for the favor shown to {s51}, who led us to defeat against the {s56}. str_comment_i_was_entitled_to_fief|It is well known that I am disappointed that {s54} received the fief of {s51}, which should have gone to me. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_troop_over_woman|It is well known that {s51} paid suit to {s54}, while I was also courting her. He is unworthy of her attentions, and I intend to teach him to keep his distance from her. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_you_over_woman_default|I hear that you have been paying suit to {s54}. I do not believe that you are worthy of a fair lady such as her, and would strongly encourage you to cease pursuing her. str_comment_i_quarreled_with_you_over_woman_derisive|I hear that you have been paying suit to {s54}. Let me tell you something -- I've had my eye on that one ever since I was a lad, and she was a lass. She's a high-born lady of this realm, and should not be demeaned by a foreigner's crude attentions. Keep away from her, or expect to pay the price! str_comment_player_suggestion_succeeded|I followed your suggestion, and profited much by your advice. str_comment_player_suggestion_failed|I followed your suggestion and met with disaster, and I hold you responsible. str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_hesitant|I understand that you have given {s51} to a commoner who calls himself {s54}. Be careful. To learn the art of governance is no easy task, and perhaps it is best that fathers pass it on to their sons. I advise you against tampering with the institution of lordship. str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_derisive|I understand that you have given {s51} to a commoner who calls himself {s54}. Do not the ancients warn us against making royal robes out of the hides of pigs? str_comment_you_enfiefed_a_commoner_nasty|I understand that you have given {s51} to a commoner who has taken the name of {s54}. Have a care! A dog may turn on its master. str_comment_marriage_normal_family|Congratulations on your marriage to my {s11} {s50}. You may now consider yourself part of the family! str_comment_marriage_normal|Congratulations on your marriage to {s50}. The news does credit to you both. str_comment_marriage_normal_nasty|Well -- I see that you have married {s50}. She was always a silly girl, with appalling judgment. str_comment_marriage_elopement_family|Well... You somehow persuaded my {s11} {s50} to marry you. I don't know what you did to make her accept you, but our family will not forget this humiliation. str_comment_marriage_elopement_liege|I hear that you have eloped with {s50}, against her family's wishes. I am not pleased. Her family are among the great lords of my realm, and I do not like to see them made to look like fools. str_comment_you_broke_truce_as_my_vassal|I hear that you have broken my truce by attacking {s55}. Do you know how this makes me look? If you were acting under my orders, I appear dishonorable. If you were not, I look weak. I have half a mind to indict you for treason here and now. str_comment_you_attacked_neutral_as_my_vassal|I hear that you have attacked subjects of the {s55}. You have given them an excuse to attack me, if they want... We shall see what comes of this. A fine day's work you have done!
