dlga_start:port_chief_travel|Heill! Are you looking to travel to another town?
dlga_start:close_window.4|Please wait for everybody to board the ship.
dlga_port_chief2:port_chief3|What do you need?
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_fleet1|Greetings. I have come to join the fleet of Sven Bull Neck and Harald Haraldsson that will travel to Englaland.
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_bodoletter1|A man named Atli Eiriksson left this port some time ago. Do you know where he was going?
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_pieles|I have given the skins to Hogni, now it's your turn. Where is Atli Eiriksson?
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_catach|I was at Gleann Da Loch and took 'The Cathach of Colum Cille.'
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_catach32|Unfortunately, Gleann Da Loch is too far. Would you take money instead?
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_svenlair|You know what I want. Where is the hideout of Sven Bull Neck?
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_buy_ship|I want to buy a ship.
dlga_port_chief_buy_ship:close_window|Follow me!
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_info_main|I have some questions about ships and sea travel.
dlga_port_chief_info_main:port_chief_info_main_1|What do you want to know?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_1:port_chief_info_a_1|Why do people go to sea?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_1:port_chief_info_b_1|How do I find my way at sea?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_1:port_chief_info_c_1|What do I need to know if I want to buy a ship?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_1:port_chief_info_d_1|What makes a ship fast?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_1:port_chief2|That's all I wanted to know. Thanks!
dlga_port_chief_info_a_1:port_chief_info_main|You can earn a lot of money if you trade goods or slaves across the sea. Others use it for raiding settlements. Finally, no Viking will respect you as a leader if you don't have a good ship.
dlga_port_chief_info_b_1:port_chief_info_main|Look at the sun at day. Rest at night. The better you are at finding your way, the faster you travel.
dlga_port_chief_info_c_1:port_chief_info_c_2|First, you need to know what type of ship you want. If you want to trade, then a Knorr may be a good choice. They have much room for cargo, but they are not very fast. The Snekkja, the Skei and the Busse are fast warships and are able to carry many troops. The Karvi is something in-between. If you only have a few men, then a small ship like a Byrding would perhaps suit you better.
dlga_port_chief_info_c_2:port_chief_info_main|The second important factor is the type of wood the ship is made from. Ships made out of oak wood are the best ships, but are also expensive. Beech is cheaper, but it rots faster.
dlga_port_chief_info_d_1:port_chief_info_main|The wind -- if you place your sails in a position to catch it best. If there is no wind at all, then your crew has to row. More rowers will make the ship faster. If you have more than one ship in your fleet, then your fleet will only be as fast as your slowest ship. A skilled Navigator can also make your fleet faster.
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_travel|I want to travel to another port.
dlga_port_chief_travel:close_window|I'm sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port that can transport a marshal and his whole army.
dlga_port_chief_travel:close_window.1|I'm sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port that can transport your party and the trader with his whole cargo.
dlga_port_chief_travel:port_chief_travel_2|From here, one may travel to ports in Friese, Danmark, Northvegr and Englaland. Where do you want to go?
dlga_port_chief_travel:port_chief_travel_2.1|From here, one may travel to ports in Englaland and Eriuland. Where do you want to go?
dlga_port_chief_travel:close_window.2|I am sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port.
dlga_port_chief_travel_2:close_window|I changed my mind.
dlga_port_chief_travel_3:port_chief_travel_4|You want to travel to {s1}? {s2}
dlga_port_chief_travel_4:port_chief_travel_5|Let's start!
dlga_port_chief_travel_5:close_window|Follow me!
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_pick_up_ship1|Is my ship ready yet?
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship1:port_chief2|My men and I are still working on it. Come back in {reg1} days.
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship1:port_chief_pick_up_ship2|The ship is ready! Do you want us to launch it?
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship2:port_chief_pick_up_ship3|Yes!
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship2:port_chief2|No, not yet.
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship3:port_chief2|Sorry, your sea-king skill isn't high enough to add an additional ship to your current fleet in this port.
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship3:close_window|Well, take a look at it and give it a name.
dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship3:port_chief2.1|There is not enough room left in the port for another ship.
dlga_port_chief3:port_chief_build_ship_main|I want you to build me a ship.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main:port_chief_build_ship_main_1|What kind of ship do you want to have?
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2|I just need a little Byrding.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2.1|I want a Knorr for trading.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2.2|A good attack Snekkja!
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2.3|I'm interested in a double-sized warship. A Skeid, please.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2.4|I have many warriors. Can you build a Busse for me?
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief_build_ship_main_2.5|I need a good, all-around ship. I want a Karvi.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_1:port_chief2|I changed my mind.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_2:port_chief_build_ship_main|Sorry, I'm not skilled enough. Only the Norse are able to build a {s11}.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_2:port_chief_info_main_3|What kind of wood would you like to use?
dlga_port_chief_info_main_3:port_chief_build_ship_main_4|Oak wood. I want quality.
dlga_port_chief_info_main_3:port_chief_build_ship_main_4.1|Pine would be fine.
dlga_port_chief_info_main_3:port_chief_build_ship_main_4.2|I don't want to spend so much money. I want ash wood.
dlga_port_chief_info_main_3:port_chief2|I changed my mind.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_4:port_chief_build_ship_main_5|To build your {s11} out of {s12} wood I ask {reg11} peningas for my work. {s2}It will take {reg12} days to build this ship.

dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_5:port_chief_build_ship_missing_1|Err, does it look like I am a merchant? I don't have these things with me.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_1:port_chief2|Sorry, but I can't finish your ship without these materials. Buy them and come back once you have everything ready.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_5:port_chief_build_ship_missing_2|I don't have enough peningas right now.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_2:port_chief2|Sorry, but I need to feed my family and pay the workers. When you get the money, then come back and see me.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_5:port_chief_build_ship_missing_3|I will consider this and may come back later.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_3:port_chief2|Take your time, but trust me. My ships are worth every pening.
dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_6:port_chief2|Very well! Come back in {reg12} days.
dlga_port_chief3:close_window|Nothing, for now. Farewell.
dlga_port_chief_fleet1:port_chief_fleet2|{s2}^^Heill, {playername}. I see you have made a name for yourself in this land. It makes me happy to think that my business with you has helped in this. That should deserve a line or two in any saga about you! The fleet of Sven and Harald is across the bay. It numbers fifty boats, many of them war ships, totalling over 800 men. Have you finished your affairs in Danmark? Are you ready to leave? I warrant you won't be back soon!
dlga_port_chief_fleet2:the_fleetmt1|Yes, let's get started. Let's board my men.
dlga_the_fleetmt1:close_window|Well, good luck Vinr. Although you can see many boats here, most of the fleet is anchored over in the bay, outside the city. Join them as soon as you feel ready!
dlga_port_chief_fleet2:port_chief2|No, I need to finish some things. I will be back.
dlga_port_chief_catach:port_chief_catach2|{s2}^^Well, give me the book, and I will tell you what you asked about.
dlga_port_chief_catach2:port_chief_catach31|Here, take it. Now, Sven's hideout?
dlga_port_chief_catach2:port_chief_catach32|Unfortunately, I lost the book. Would you take money instead?
dlga_port_chief_catach32:port_chief_catach4|My client will not be happy, and people will know you're not reliable. My client would've paid me 10,000 peningas for the book. Do you have that kind of money?
dlga_port_chief_catach4:port_chief_catach5|I've got the money. Here, take it, and tell me where Sven is!
dlga_port_chief_catach4:port_chief2|Unfortunately, no. I will be back as soon as I have it.
dlga_port_chief_catach5:port_chief_catach5_1|Oh my, you're a rich {reg59?woman:man}! The hideout is here, in Danmark, southeast of Ribe, up the river. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_catach5_1:port_chief2|Thank you.
dlga_port_chief_catach31:port_chief_catach31_1|Well, thank you. The hideout is here, in Danmark, southeast of Ribe, up the river. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_catach31_1:port_chief2|Thank you.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair:port_chief_svenlair2|{s2}^^Why so loud, friend? Nobody in port needs to know what we are talking about. I see someone has told you about me. That's fine. It's how businesses thrive.^^Well, you want to know the location. It is not hard to get, but it has a cost, of course, and not a cheap one. Bull Neck Sven is a dangerous man.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair2:port_chief_svenlair3|{s2}^^Listen carefully. Fortunately, I need someone like you. I need you to become, hmm, a 'raider' of sort, and go to Eriuland. I have a client who wants a book kept in a monastery there as a relic. The monastery is called Gleann Da Loch. The name of the book is the 'The Cathach of Colum Cille.' I am really only interested in the book. Anything else you take is yours. Bring me that book, and you will know where Sven Bull Neck is hiding.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair3:port_chief_svenlair31|Sounds good! I'll bring you the book. I will see you soon.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair3:port_chief_svenlair32|I neither plunder monasteries nor kill monks.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair3:port_chief_svenlair33|I prefer to forget about that book and offer peningas for the information.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair31:close_window|Well, I'll be here. I suggest you repair and provision your ship. The trip to Eriuland is long. And bring enough men, for the Eriu war enough on each other to have become quite good at it. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair32:close_window|Then buy the book. I do not care how you get it. Just bring it. And I suggest you repair and provision your ship. The trip to Eriuland is long. And bring enough men, for the Godelic war enough on each other to have become quite good at it. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair33:port_chief_svenlair4|Well, isn't that an interesting option? My client offers me 10,000 peningas for the book. Do you have that kind of money?
dlga_port_chief_svenlair4:port_chief_svenlair5|I've got the money. Take it, and tell me where Sven is hiding.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair4:port_chief_svenlair31|Unfortunately, not that kind of money. I'll bring the book. I will see you soon.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair5:port_chief_svenlair5_1|Oh, my, you're a rich man! The hideout is here, in Danmark, southeast of Ribe, up the river. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_svenlair5_1:port_chief2|Thank you.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter1:port_chief_bodoletter2|{s2}^^Why do you always talk so loudly? Well, you know me, I'm a good source of information, but everything has a price.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter2:port_chief_bodoletter3|{s2}^^Listen carefully. This info is especially valuable. We are talking about the number two man in Danmark, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye.' How about 12,000 peningas? Do you have this kind of money? If not, perhaps you could do me a little favor instead. I have a client who needs to move some furs to Dubh Linn, in Eriuland. Why wouldn't you take the furs for me? In return, I will give you the information.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter3:port_chief_bodoletter_pieles|Well, deal. I will take the skins for you.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter3:port_chief_bodoletter4|Oh, I've got the money. Here it is. Where is he now?
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter3:port_chief_bodoletter7|But we're old friends, man. For old business associates, would you not offer a discount?
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter3:port_chief_bodoletter3_1|Unfortunately, no. I'll return soon with the money.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter_pieles:close_window|Glad to hear that. Go to Dubh Linn and deliver the furs to a man named Hogni. He is the merchant there. You will find him easily. I would suggest carrying other goods, to sell in those distant lands. Once you return here with the receipt, you will get your information.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter3_1:port_chief2|Then come back when you have the money. I have no time for beggars.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter4:port_chief_bodoletter5|Aren't you a rich man! Well, Atli Eiriksson is in Northvegr. At least, that's what one of his men told a whore here. Apparently, Atli carries something important that needs to be hidden...for now. He is hiding in a cave on the north coast of Northvegr, near Hordaland. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter5:port_chief2|Thank you.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter7:port_chief_bodoletter8|Hmm, well, just this one time, but do not tell anyone, I have my reputation to uphold. Eight thousand peningas, and this info is yours. Got the money?
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter8:port_chief_bodoletter9|Yes, I sure do. Take it. Where is he?
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter8:port_chief_bodoletter3_1|Unfortunately, no. I'll return soon with the money.
dlga_port_chief_bodoletter9:port_chief_bodoletter5|Well, but remember, no more discounts. Well, Atli Eiriksson is in Northvegr. At least, that's what one of his men told a whore here. Apparently, Atli carries something important that needs to be hidden...for now. He has gone to hide in a cave on the north coast of Northvegr, near Hordaland. Far thu vel.
dlga_port_chief_pieles:port_chief_bodoletter5|I like doing business with you. Well, Atli Eiriksson is in Northvegr. At least, that's what one of his men told a whore here.

dlga_start:port_prisoners|Who are you?
dlga_port_prisoners:port_prisoners_2|Are you looking for a slave trader? {s9} wouldn't prosper without my slaves, so if you have any prisoners of war, I'd be willing to buy them.
dlga_port_prisoners_2:port_prisoners_3|I've brought some prisoners.
dlga_port_prisoners_2:close_window|Farewell.
dlga_port_prisoners_3:port_prisoners_4|Nice to hear. Let's go.
dlga_port_prisoners_4:close_window|A pleasure doing business with you.
dlga_start:port_r_2|Greetings. I'm a veteran captain who monitors activity at the port of {s9}. If you are interested in hiring unemployed sailors, let me know.
dlga_port_crew_talk:port_r_2|Is there anything else I can do for you?
dlga_port_r_2:port_recruitsl|I want to recruit sailors.
dlga_port_recruitsl:port_crew_talk|There are no available sailors in the port at this time. Come back later, {reg59?madam:sir}.
dlga_port_recruitsl:port_crew_talk.1|I don't think anyone would be interested, {reg59?madam:sir}. You need to have more room in your party.
dlga_port_recruitsl:port_recruits2|I can think of {reg5} who I suspect would jump at the chance if you could pay 40 peningas {reg7?each for their equipment:for his equipment}. Does that suit you?
dlga_port_recruits2:port_crew_talk|Tell {reg7?them:him} to get ready.
dlga_port_recruits2:port_crew_talk.1|No, not now.
dlga_port_r_2:port_crew_fleetpr|My name is {playername}...
dlga_port_crew_fleetpr:close_window|Sorry, I'm busy preparing the boats and supplies for a fleet. If you do not need sailors, please leave me alone and come back later.

dlga_port_r_2:port_crew_fleet1.1|My name is {playername}. Jarl Rathbarth send me.
dlga_port_crew_fleet1:port_crew_fleet2|^^Greetings, {playername}. I was notified about your arrival. You are in charge of a fleet bound for Frankia. There are men, guides and boats waiting for you to join them out of port.
dlga_port_crew_fleet2:the_fleetcrew1|Yes, the time has come. Douar-an-Enez awaits me.
dlga_the_fleetcrew1:close_window|I was told it would be weeks, even months out, so good luck. Your fleet is waiting for you at the exit of the port. Take your boat and go with them.
dlga_port_crew_fleet2:close_window|No, I need to finish some things. I will be back.
dlga_port_r_2:close_window|I want to go. Farewell.
dlga_start:close_window.5|Why are you bothering me? I'm busy! I have no time for people like you. Come back another day. Or better yet, don't.^^--It seems that Sigurd is not willing to receive you now. You'll need to look for another way to find out information about Sven.--
dlga_start:kinghorik_quest_danmarkprot|This is a good place away from prying ears. Now, talk.
dlga_start:kinghorik_quest_revenge4|This is a good place away from prying ears. Now, talk.
dlga_start:kinghorik_quest_thething1|Heill, {playername}.
dlga_start:svenbn_hunting1_1|Heill, {playername}, vinr. Thanks to you, today we have won this battle! West Seaxe is now ours! But I guess you care more about Sven Bull Neck's location, right? Well, he got away, but not far. He has taken Readingum and has made a stronghold there, but my men have followed. I have put a hersir in my confidence, Arnvid, in charge of the mission. Meet him at Readingum. His men are at your disposal if you decide to assault the place.
dlga_start:svenbn_hunting1_1.1|Salve, {playername}! The Danish are on the run and have lost many jarls in this battle. Although there are still many of them left, we have achieved an important victory, and they will not be so bold in the future.^^I have some news for you. Sven Bull Neck has fled back to Readingum and has fortified himself in there. My men, led by a man named Eadric, have followed him. They will be at your disposal when you arrive. The moment is yours! Go to Readingum and settle your accounts with Sven Bull Neck.

dlga_start:close_window.13|Sorry, this is not a good time to talk.
dlga_start:conversation_companioncamp|--You find your companion in his usual part of the camp.--
dlga_start:close_window.14|I'm busy right now, {playername}. We'll talk later.
dlga_start:close_window.15|{reg59?Lady:Sir}, everything is in order in the camp.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:beda_conversationcamp1|My {reg59?lady:lord}, sometimes I think, as we travel along the northern lands, what a dismal world we live in. I have read many books, but none of them talks about the violence and many dangers that we go through daily.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp1:beda_conversationcamp2|Well, I think the Danish are the hordes of Gog and Magog that will come at the last hour of the world and that the Kingdom of West Seaxe is the last human kingdom trying to fight the inevitable before the Second Coming.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp2:beda_conversationcamp3|Err...can you explain that Gog and Magog thing?
dlga_beda_conversationcamp2:close_window|Very interesting, but I don't have time for this right now.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp3:beda_conversationcamp4|Oh, well, the Bible mentions Gog as a leader of the horde coming from the land of Magog in the far north. In Ezekiel's prophecy, Gog leads a great army of skilled warriors from many different nations. They will attack the nation of men chosen by God, and there will be a great battle that will affect the whole world. I think that this is what is happening now, with all these pagans advancing over Englaland.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp4:beda_conversationcamp6|We need to focus on the here and now. When the End comes, I assure you we won't miss it.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp4:close_window|You worry too much, and I do not have time for this.
dlga_beda_conversationcamp6:close_window|Yes, that's true. I tend to worry too much about things. I will enjoy the day.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:egil_conversationcamp1|{playername}, I like you, but sometimes I think you're too naive as a leader. Allow me to give you some advice.
dlga_egil_conversationcamp1:egil_conversationcamp2|I don't want to offend you, but I think you should take advantage of my experience. As you know, I grew up in the court of the king. I spend a lot of time in Ribe, where I meet the greatest warlords and their commanders.
dlga_egil_conversationcamp2:close_window|I do not need your lessons.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:donnachdh_conversationcamp1|Salve warlord, you should know that I'm from Eriu and descend directly from ancient warriors. Even my mother came from the old clan that the hero Cu Chulainn belonged to.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp1:donnachdh_conversationcamp2|Eriu is divided into small clans that are grouped under the ones that are more powerful. These form kingdoms, for ages five in number. It is very important for each clan to show its power, and they often fight small wars. We mostly fight against neighboring clans, where rivalry tends to flourish, but many times larger clans lead others to wars between kingdoms, because the most important men of the island aspire to the throne of Tara. Being the master of Tara means you are the high king, Ard Ruire, of all Eriu, and that brings much glory for your clan.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2:donnachdh_conversationcamp3|So many rivalries make things easy for the Vikings.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2:donnachdh_conversationcamp3_2|So many wars produce very tough warriors.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2:donnachdh_conversationcamp3_3|Someone should unite all the clans.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2:close_window|I'm interested very little in this.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3:donnachdh_conversationcamp4|I admit that the Vikings have managed to become strong in some parts of the island, but they are as divided as we are. In fact, I dare say that they are already part of the way we do things in Eriu. It is not uncommon to see Vikings fighting alongside Goidels against other Vikings. The kings of Eriu have taken to hiring them as mercenaries, and Vikings often serve rival clans who face each other.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3_2:donnachdh_conversationcamp4|Yes, that's true. War eliminates the weakest and forces men to learn how fight. It is definitely a good place to get warriors for your army. On the other hand, if you let yourself be entangled by Goidelic politics or you try to become king of Tara, you will realize that the island has certain political traditions and that nothing you do will ever change Eriu.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3_3:donnachdh_conversationcamp4|All men and clans covet the throne of Tara, but really hardly anyone is capable of sitting in it. Those who try tend to have short lives, but always another man and another clan come along, and the cycle continues. If the throne of Tara is ever yours, may you enjoy it as long as possible. Your clan will be famous and respected, but your life will be very short.
dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp4:close_window|Surely, Eriu, or Hibernia, as the Romans called it, is a different land. Forget everything you know, Eriu is different!
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:donnachdh_dwywei_conv1|Every time I give an order in your name, Dwywei questions my authority among your men. Now she is gathering with some warriors to mutter against me. I do not understand this hate, as we both are from the same kingdom.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv1:donnachdh_dwywei_conv2|The Scots of Dal Riata are bloody traitors. They came from Eriu to take our western lands. Some years ago, we lost our beloved king Bridei fighting against the Norsemen, and most of the Pictish nobility died with him. Then Cinaed mac Ailpin, the king of Dal Riata, disputed the Pictish crown with the surviving members of the seven royal houses of the Picts.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv2:donnachdh_dwywei_conv3|-- She grits her teeth --^^Cinaed defeated us in battle and later met all claimants to the Pictish crown at Scone. They feasted while mead and ale flowed freely. What happened next is known as Mac Ailpin's treason: 'the Conqueror' killed all our nobles and became the only claimant for the Pictish Crown. Now his successor, the king of Alban, rules over both the Picts and the Scots. Who can trust in this traitor's race? Me? No!
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv3:donnachdh_dwywei_conv4|Stupid and stubborn Picts...
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4:donnachdh_dwywei_conv5|Forget this old enmity. Now you have a common enemy. Together you must face the Norsemen.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4:donnachdh_dwywei_conv6|I understand your concern about the Scots, but Donnachdh has proven to be a man of honor.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4:donnachdh_dwywei_conv7|Is this how Scots are? Then I hate them, too. Dirty traitors!
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv5:close_window|As you wish.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv6:close_window|I understand that Donnachdh is not guilty of what happened. I'll try being nicer to him.
dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv7:close_window|I hope, for your sake, that you are kidding, but I don't find you so funny.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:morgant_conversationcamp1|{reg59?My lady:Sir}, in Cornubia men with guts are a dying breed. In the past, we were a proud people, and our holdings stretched across southern Britannia. Then the Saxons came, and we lost the land.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp1:morgant_conversationcamp2|Now the sea brings the Danish, as previously it did the Angles and the Saxons. Now, the Saxons fear losing this land they took from us to the Danish. Isn't fate ironic?
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2:morgant_conversationcamp3|Sure, but don't bother me about Saxons. They will lose what they stole.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2:morgant_conversationcamp3_2|The Saxons are strong. They will resist the Danish.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2:close_window|I have very little interest in this.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp3:morgant_conversationcamp4|It is possible. Maybe God has a sense of humor or our prayers have brought the Danish to punish the Saxons. But who cares? Britannia is lost to the Britons.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp3_2:morgant_conversationcamp4|You mean we were weak? I think not! It is true that we were disunited and unlucky with our kings, but Arthur showed that it was possible to defeat the Saxons. We can only regret that there was no one to pick up his legacy. Britannia is now lost for us.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp4:morgant_conversationcamp5|Britannia will be returned to the Britons. I swear I will do it.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp4:morgant_conversationcamp5_1|Forget the past and focus on the present.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp5:close_window|I appreciate your words, but both of us know that, even if you conquer the whole island, Britannia of today has nothing in common with Britannia of yore. It will not be the same.
dlga_morgant_conversationcamp5_1:close_window|Yes, you're right. There is little sense in mourning the past. Let us return to the present.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:dwywei_conversationcamp1|{playername}, my parents were important people in Pictland, and their grandparents before them, and all my ancestors. They were descendants on the maternal side -- the one that matters to Picts -- of royal blood.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp1:dwywei_conversationcamp2|However, there have been many changes in the kingdom known as Alban. Our people are mixing with our old enemies, the Goidels of Dal Riata, and my family was disgraced. I tried to recover our prestige as a warrior, but since the Picts embraced Christ, women have been excluded from this profession more and more each day. Ultimately, I failed, and my family paid with their lives for my failure.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp2:dwywei_conversationcamp3|I do not normally talk about this, but I would like to say I have found a new family while traveling with you. This helps me to ease the burden of my past. For years, I hated the current kings of Alban. Now I don't care any more. My failure and the new laws of our land brought about the end of my family. I just pray that you don't judge me harshly for my past.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp3:dwywei_conversationcamp4|What happened is in the past. You are very important to me.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp3:dwywei_conversationcamp4_2|Thanks for sharing your story with me. I'm glad you found peace with yourself.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp3:close_window|You caused the death of your family, and you do not want to be judged harshly? Nonsense!
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp4:close_window|--She looks down shyly--^^You are also very important to me. Oh, well, I have things to do.
dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp4_2:close_window|Thank you for your understanding.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:dwyweiromance_conversationcamp1|{playername}, although you see me fight hard in battles, mark my body with war paint, and scream while I stab our enemies...
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp1:dwyweiromance_conversationcamp3|You know I'm a shy person, right?
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp3:dwyweiromance_conversationcamp4|I did not know that.
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp3:dwyweiromance_conversationcamp4_2|Yes, I know.
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp3:close_window|I have little time now to hear about this. We'll talk later.
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp4:close_window|Oh, I see. Well, well, I... we'll talk another day...
dlga_dwyweiromance_conversationcamp4_2:close_window|What I mean is that I can say things, but I want you to know that I admire and appreciate you very much. Well, I do not want to talk more about this. It is cumbersome. We'll talk another day.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp1|I need to talk to you, {playername}. It is a very serious issue for me, but I will raise it only once.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp1:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp3|You know I'm interested in you, appreciate you and like you. I think you feel the same way when you look at me, but I'm not sure. Can it be...?
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp3:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp4|Yes, Dwywei, I like you a lot.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp3:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp4_2|Sorry, but I'm not interested in you.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp4:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp5|I am happy to hear you say that! I guess this means we're together, yes?
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp4_2:close_window|I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I feel embarrassed. I thought... I was wrong. Sorry, I will not bother you any more. Now, I have things to do.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp5:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp6|Yes, Dwywei, you are my woman now.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp5:dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp7|No. It was just a joke. I'm not interested in you at all.
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp6:close_window|I am so happy! I love you. I am going to put my things in your tent!
dlga_dwyweiromance2_conversationcamp7:close_window|A joke? You're a jerk! What kind of person kids about things like that? Leave me alone. I do not want to see you any more.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:reginhard1_conversationcamp1|My friend, some of your men are muttering because the food is disgusting. Do you want their names?
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp1:reginhard1_conversationcamp2|I really appreciate your concern, Reginhard.
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp2:reginhard1_conversationcamp3|Well, err... I know you are a generous man. I'm sure you will reward my fidelity someway... You know what I mean, right?
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp3:close_window|Sure. Take this money and keep me informed.
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp3:close_window.1|Shut up, you greedy scum. Don't try to cheat me again.
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp3:close_window.2|I always reward every man as he deserves. Don't forget that.
dlga_reginhard1_conversationcamp3:close_window.3|It won't be necessary. Tomorrow the food will be better.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:clovis1_conversationcamp1|Warlord, I think it's necessary to train our men more. Haven't you read Vegetius? The ancients knew how to convert simple farmers into great soldiers in just a few days.
dlga_clovis1_conversationcamp1:clovis1_conversationcamp2|I can force them to practice harder. Trust me. You will see how I transform them into veteran warriors.
dlga_clovis1_conversationcamp2:close_window|Alright, let them sweat, but I want good results. Take these 1000 peningas to reward the best.
dlga_clovis1_conversationcamp2:close_window.1|That is a good idea. I appoint you weapon master.
dlga_clovis1_conversationcamp2:close_window.2|They are tired; I don't want to force them... for now. But I appreciate your offer.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:ceawlin1_conversationcamp1|I want to tell you something important. A war band has to be led by a man of honor, but these times are too hard for mercy. The warriors need a strong leader, someone able to make hard decisions when they are needed.
dlga_ceawlin1_conversationcamp1:ceawlin1_conversationcamp2|--You realize some of your men hear the conversation--^^Only a fool can consider mercifulness as weakness.
dlga_ceawlin1_conversationcamp2:ceawlin1_conversationcamp3|Just so, but fear converts men into fools. Don't be weak, {playername}. They smell fear, like dogs.
dlga_ceawlin1_conversationcamp3:close_window|I appreciate your concern, but I know how to manage my people.
dlga_ceawlin1_conversationcamp3:close_window.1|Maybe you are right, my friend. I will follow your advice.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:ailchu1_conversationcamp1|I have reconsidered my opinion about Brunhild. Maybe she can be a good warrior after all. Do you know why?
dlga_ailchu1_conversationcamp1:ailchu1_conversationcamp2|I am listening.
dlga_ailchu1_conversationcamp2:ailchu1_conversationcamp3|Because she can bleed for a week and not die! Ha, ha, ha... Seriously, is she really necessary here? Her constant gossiping gives me headaches.
dlga_ailchu1_conversationcamp3:close_window|Seriously, you give me headaches. Yet I keep you...
dlga_ailchu1_conversationcamp3:close_window.1|If you are not comfortable here, you are free to go.
dlga_ailchu1_conversationcamp3:close_window.2|Maybe a war band is not a good place for her. I'll think about it.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:caio_conversationcamp1|In your army, I visit so many places and meet so many people. I didn't realize the world was so big!
dlga_caio_conversationcamp1:caio_conversationcamp2|Honestly, my family and I lived in the cave all this time, only going to the Wall to sell goods. Once I visited Bebbanburh, and I thought that was the greatest and most wonderful place. That was nothing compared to the places you take me now.
dlga_caio_conversationcamp2:caio_conversationcamp3|And there are still many more places for you to visit.
dlga_caio_conversationcamp2:caio_conversationcamp4|Why are you bothering me with this?
dlga_caio_conversationcamp3:close_window|I'm sure there are plenty of places to visit. I can only say that joining you was the best decision of my life. I will never return to the cave of my parents.
dlga_caio_conversationcamp4:close_window|Ah, excuse me, sorry. I understand that for someone like you, this is very trivial, but for me it's so new. I will not bother you with my silly talk any longer. Farewell.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:caio_morgant_conv1|I want to ask to you about...
dlga_caio_morgant_conv1:caio_morgant_conv2|Caio is the stupidest man I have ever met. He is always asking about the most basic things. He knows nothing about tactics, and his ignorance puts all of us in danger.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv2:caio_morgant_conv3|Excuse me if I have offended you. I just wanted to know what a cuenus is.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv3:caio_morgant_conv4|--He is angrier and begins to speak louder--^^Don't you know?
dlga_caio_morgant_conv4:caio_morgant_conv5|You have to be patient with Caio. He is a valuable man and learns fast.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv4:caio_morgant_conv6|Caio, if you don't come up to scratch soon, you should consider leaving us.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv4:close_window|Don't bother me with this foolishness again.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv5:close_window|Thank you for your confidence.
dlga_caio_morgant_conv6:close_window|I... understand.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:brunhild_conversationcamp1|Sometimes when I sleep, I dream of my past life in Doccinga and Kennemer. These nightmares remind me of my time of servitude.
dlga_brunhild_conversationcamp1:brunhild_conversationcamp2|I am glad that I have left all that behind. In fact, I hate Friese, and treading its soil brings back dark memories. When we visit Friese on our travels, I only ask you to have patience with me. I will spend most of the time in my tent when we are not walking or fighting, sulking and not wanting to talk to anyone.
dlga_brunhild_conversationcamp2:close_window|Now, forgive me, but just talking about it has upset my stomach. I think all these memories make me so depressed that I may never fully heal.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:bodo_conversationcamp1|--You note that he is impatient, nervous.--^^Hi {playername}. We've been traveling together for a while, and our friendship, at least for me, is sincere. In fact, I have not trusted anyone like this for years.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp1:bodo_conversationcamp2|Actually, I'm surprised that our relationship is so good. My life has not been easy, especially here in the north, and I find it hard to trust people, but you're winning my trust so easily, it scares me.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2:bodo_conversationcamp3|It's good to trust others, Bodo.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2:bodo_conversationcamp3_2|That has happened to me as well.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2:bodo_conversationcamp4|Keep your distance. You're just a soldier to me.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp3:close_window|Yes, you're right. I should trust myself more. Friendship is normal, not a dangerous shackle. Thanks my friend!
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp3_2:close_window|You feel it, too? You see? We are suspicious people, too used to danger and to being deceived. I'll think about it! Thanks for your time.
dlga_bodo_conversationcamp4:close_window|Yes, sorry. I was confused, but you've certainly cleared it up for me.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:bodo_2conversationcamp1|{playername}, we have to talk! It is complicated. I do not know how to say this, but it needs to be said.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp1:bodo_2conversationcamp2|Let me be clear, I've noticed how you look at me, and I fear that you're falling for me. I completely understand. I am an attractive man with warrior skills and leadership, but I must warn you that I am a married. I have a woman there in Cantabria and sixteen children.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2:bodo_2conversationcamp3|I think you should stop experimenting with mushrooms, Bodo. I have no interest in you.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2:bodo_2conversationcamp3_2|It's true. I really like you.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2:bodo_2conversationcamp4|Keep your distance, sir. You're a lowly soldier! I hardly even notice your presence.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp3:close_window|Are you sure? That surprises me, I'm a real man, really macho, who attracts a lot of women. Well, luckily, now I can breathe easier.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp3_2:bodo_2conversationcamp5|That worries me. You're an attractive woman, but you must know that I'm a married man and I owe it to my wife. I must make it clear that nothing will ever happen between us.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp4:close_window|Yes, sorry. I was confused, but you've certainly cleared it up for me.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5:close_window|I was joking. I do not really like you. You're an ugly pig.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5:close_window.1|Do not worry. From now on, our relationship will strictly be that of warlord and soldier.
dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5:close_window.2|No problem, but I will keep your name on my wish list.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:solveig_conversationcamp1|For the first time in my life, I feel like I am in a real army. Being a warrior and being beautiful have never made it easy for me to be part of a large group of men, but here you know how to maintain order, and people respect me.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp1:solveig_conversationcamp2|The Danish and Norwegians, and the world in general, do not have a good opinion of a woman who leaves home armed and ready to fight. Exactly for this reason, the skjaldmo are more legend than reality. There are very few like me, and soon there will be none, believe me.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2:solveig_conversationcamp3|In my army, we do not distinguish between men and women, only between good and bad warriors.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2:solveig_conversationcamp3_2|You will always be well treated here.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2:solveig_conversationcamp4|Woman, your place is at home with a husband.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp3:close_window|I know, and I like it here. You must know that you have a loyal follower in me. I am committed to your cause.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp3_2:close_window|Thanks, {playername}. I hope to stay with you for a long time.
dlga_solveig_conversationcamp4:close_window|I am confused. On the one hand, you accept me in your army, but on the other hand, you say I should get married and go home. You must be joking. Hah! Good one on old Solveig.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:solveig_2conversationcamp1|{playername}, I like you a lot. I must admit that I am drawn to you.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp1:solveig_2conversationcamp2|As you know, I chose the path of war. I keep my virginity in order to protect myself from love and men. It is not an easy way; it's not a comfortable way, but it has its laws, and if I break these, my life will become meaningless. My arms are my only husbands, and my shield is my home. I need you to respect that or I'll have to leave your company.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp2:solveig_2conversationcamp3|I respect that, Solveig, and I am not really attracted to you.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp2:solveig_2conversationcamp4|Sorry, Solveig, but I'm in love with you.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp3:close_window|Well, part of me regrets that my feelings are not reciprocated, but the other part is happy to continue serving under your banner. I need to analyze these feelings. Good luck, friend.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp4:solveig_2conversationcamp5|I understand. We love each other, but we can't be together. If I give in to this, I will end up locked away on a farm looking after 10 kids, and I could not bear that. I was born to be free and live an intense life. I want to enjoy the same freedoms as a man. I think it would be the best if I leave.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp5:solveig_2conversationcamp6|Don't leave, Solveig. We will never discuss this again, and I shall restrain myself.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp5:solveig_2conversationcamp7|Yes, it is best that you leave.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp6:close_window|I also want to stay. Let's not talk about it and keep our distance. From now on, I will put my tent as far away from yours as possible. Farewell.
dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp7:close_window|Yes, I think that is most appropriate. Good luck, friend. May the fates accept you.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:asbjorn_conversationcamp1|It's interesting how Christian priests speak about the end of the world. It is very similar to what the Danish think. In both cases, we do not know when it will come, but we're sure it will. In both cases, it will be a catastrophe of epic proportions and of huge armies fighting in a devastated world.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp1:asbjorn_conversationcamp2|But they think differently about other things. For the Danish, a large tree, called Yggdrasil, holds the nine worlds. The principal world is Asgard, where the gods live and which is governed by Odin and his wife Frigg. It can only be reached by the Rainbow Bridge, named Bifrost and guarded by Heimdal.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp2:asbjorn_conversationcamp3|Tell me more.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp2:close_window|Very interesting, but I have no time to listen. Farewell.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp3:asbjorn_conversationcamp4|Another world is the ice land of Jotunheim, where a giant lives, banished there by our gods, the Aesir. There are also Alfheim, home of the elves, and Svartalfaheim, inhabited by dark elves and dwarves. We are in Midgard, the Middle Earth, inhabited by men. Below is the dark world of Niflheim, inhabited by the dragon Nidhogg, who has been gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil from the beginning of time. Someday the roots will all be eaten and Yggdrasil will fall, starting Ragnarok.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp4:asbjorn_conversationcamp5|Tell me more.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp4:close_window|Very interesting, but I have no time to listen. Farewell.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp5:asbjorn_conversationcamp6|At the end of time, Loki, his monsters and the dead will advance on the other worlds. Heimdall will sound his horn from the Rainbow Bridge, and gods and men will tremble with fear, for they will know that their time has come. A battle of gigantic proportions, the Ragnarok, will occur in which the gods and men will clash against the hosts of evil. The gods will lose, because it is well predicted, and their world will be destroyed by chaos. Odin will be swallowed up by the wolf Fenrir.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp6:asbjorn_conversationcamp7|Well, {playername}, I guess it's not a very promising fate, but it teaches us that, no matter what we do, we are doomed. Therefore, it is best to enjoy each new day thoroughly.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp7:close_window|Fate is inexorable, Asbjorn.
dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp7:close_window.1|I make my own destiny, Asbjorn.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:helgi_conversationcamp1|{playername}, as you know, a long time ago I was in the land of Rus in the east. I travelled all through the far lands of the Slavs. I had good boots and became rich, until fate twisted things and brought me west.
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp1:helgi_conversationcamp2|What I didn't tell you is that I suffered for love. I fell in love with the wife of a jarl, and she fell in love with me. We kept our love a secret, but someone betrayed us. The jarl killed his wife and put a price on my head, but I did not flee...
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp2:helgi_conversationcamp4|I am listening.
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp2:close_window|No more talking. You have to keep your hands off other people's wives.
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp4:helgi_conversationcamp5|I painted my face black and dressed in dark clothes. That night, I broke into his farm and killed him in his sleep. Then I fled to the west, where nobody knew me. Although everything I told you before was true, this is the real reason I'm here with you today. However, I have discovered that you are a great leader that I like to follow.
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp5:close_window|Thank you for your honesty.
dlga_helgi_conversationcamp5:close_window.1|Nice story, but you have to keep your hands off other people's wives.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:helgiromance_conversationcamp1|After the death of Helgi, the woman I was in love with, I thought it was impossible to fall in love again, {playername}.
dlga_helgiromance_conversationcamp1:helgiromance_conversationcamp3|I think the old wound has finally healed, and I'm ready for a new relationship.
dlga_helgiromance_conversationcamp3:helgiromance_conversationcamp4|I am happy to hear that.
dlga_helgiromance_conversationcamp3:close_window|Well, we will see if your fight better in the shield wall now.
dlga_helgiromance_conversationcamp4:close_window|I'm glad to hear that you are happy about it.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:helgiromance2_conversationcamp1|I need to talk, {playername}. It is a very serious issue for me, but I will only raise it once.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp1:helgiromance2_conversationcamp3|You know, I'm interested in you, appreciate you and like you. I think you feel the same way when you look at me, but I'm not sure.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp3:helgiromance2_conversationcamp4|Yes, Helgi, I like you a lot.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp3:helgiromance2_conversationcamp4_2|Sorry, but I'm not interested in you.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp4:helgiromance2_conversationcamp5|I am happy to hear you say that! After Helgi's death, I did not think I could fall in love again, but here we are. I think we will be fine.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp4_2:close_window|I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I feel embarrassed. I thought... I was wrong. Sorry, I will not bother you any more about this. I have better things to do.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp5:helgiromance2_conversationcamp6|Yes, we can be together, but please stop mentioning Helgi.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp5:helgiromance2_conversationcamp7|No. It was just a joke. I'm not interested in you at all.
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp6:close_window|I am so happy. I love you. Let me go and move my things to your tent!
dlga_helgiromance2_conversationcamp7:close_window|Save your stupid jokes for yourself, you bitch! Get lost!
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:agathinos_conversationcamp1|Salve {playername}! My friend and I were just talking about you. We were discussing whether you're just a warlord or if you have ambitions of being
Brytenwalda. Oh, sorry to be rude. Here, please meet Heraclio.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp1:agathinos_conversationcamp2|--Agathinos changes his voice, making it sharp--^^Salve {playername}, I am Heraclio from Nicea.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp2:agathinos_conversationcamp3|Agathinos, what does this mean?
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp2:agathinos_conversationcamp3.1|Salve Heraclio.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp2:close_window|Have you been eating mushrooms again? Maybe you need some sleep.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp3:agathinos_conversationcamp4|Heraclio is spending a few days with us before returning to Nicea. I haven't seen him for a very long time -- not since those painful, torturous days as slaves of the Norwegians. He will leave soon, but he wanted to meet you before he goes.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp4:agathinos_conversationcamp5|It's high time I finally met you, Heraclio.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp4:close_window|I have no time for this. Farewell.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp5:agathinos_conversationcamp6|--Agathinos changes his voice, making it sharp--^^My brother from another mother, the illustrious engineer Agathinos, has told me a lot about you. He thinks you'll be Brytenwalda, but I think that you're just a warlord.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp6:agathinos_conversationcamp7|Agathinos is right. I will be Brytenwalda someday.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp6:agathinos_conversationcamp7.1|You are right. I am simply a man of war.
dlga_agathinos_conversationcamp7:close_window|--Before your eyes, Agathinos starts arguing with himself, changing his voice and without paying much attention to you.--
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:brunhildvsegil_conv1|Are you serious, Egil? Did you really make out with a camp follower? I thought you were different and that you really cared about us, but now I see I was wrong. You are just a bastard in every meaning.
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv1:brunhildvsegil_conv2|Brunhild, Honey, you are just a slave and I'm the son of the king. Our story can't be real. We were just having fun, nothing else. I thought you knew that. You would have to be an idiot to think you can have a king's son just like that. You will always be my favourite, but I have and I will always have my good times with others... Who knows? Maybe someday I will find a lady to marry.
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv2:brunhildvsegil_conv3|Calm down!
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv2:brunhildvsegil_conv3.1|(Say nothing)
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv3:brunhildvsegil_conv4|Do you really think that? You are not so superior to me. Your father might be a king, but your mother was nothing but a slave, like me. You will never get anyone better than me, and you will lose me if your attitude doesn't change.
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv4:brunhildvsegil_conv5|I don't need to be officially recognised as an heir. Everyone knows that I'm the son of the king of Danmark. Every single lady in the kingdom sighs for me. Don't get me wrong, I love you and I really like what we have, but I can have so much more.
dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv5:close_window|...^^--Nothing to do here. You run while you can.--
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:clovisvshegil_conv1|You people think that strong arms can win any battle, but it's not always the case. A good formation or a smart strategy is much more important than bold warriors. Even in a duel, the strength of a soldier is not the key factor that makes him win or lose.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv1:clovisvshegil_conv2|That is what you weak people always think, and that's why we, the bravest soldiers of all Svia, or even just simple Danes, pillage your lands. If you spent more time training and becoming good warriors instead of dancing around one another, you would have a real kingdom instead of those tiny lands you have in Frankia... for now.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv2:clovisvshegil_conv3|Try to come openly, without any surprises, and we'll see what happens. I swear that your undisciplined men will fall in a few moments and that none of you would survive, because you don't know when one needs to retreat.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv3:clovisvshegil_conv4|Ha! Cowards! We prefer to be brave and dead instead of being shamed as losers. Victory or death!
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv4:clovisvshegil_conv5|Frankia makes better warriors than Svia.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv4:clovisvshegil_conv5_2|Svia makes better warriors than Frankia.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv4:clovisvshegil_conv5_3|I think you both are wrong. A good army needs both strict discipline and strong warriors.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv5:clovisvshegil_conv6|Ha! The Warlord thinks like me.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv6:close_window|I'll spare further words.
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv5_2:clovisvshegil_conv6_2|Exactly. Ha!
dlga_clovisvshegil_conv6_2:close_window|Who was asking? I thought this was a private discussion.
dlga_conversation_companioncamp:bedavsagathinos_conv1|--Agathinos stares with great interest at one of the women from the camp...--
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv1:bedavsagathinos_conv2|--...Brunhild.--
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv2:bedavsagathinos_conv3|--Spits on the ground.--^^The Greeks are lustful people.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv3:bedavsagathinos_conv4|What makes you think so?
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv4:bedavsagathinos_conv5|Even your priests live in sin. The Council of Elvira forbade clerics to cohabit with their wives. Otherwise, how can they celebrate the daily Eucharist? If they yield to the temptation of the flesh, what you can expect from their flock?
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv5:bedavsagathinos_conv6|Do not confuse celibacy with continence. The Council of Elvira did not forbid marriage to the clergy, just the sharing of a bed before sacred offices.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv6:bedavsagathinos_conv7|Sex is a carnal act. That takes us away from the path of Christ. Virginity is an obligation for any true man of God. Am I not right, {playername}?
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv7:bedavsagathinos_conv8|I agree with you, Bede. These people have to be perverts.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv7:bedavsagathinos_conv9|And what's wrong with sex? I know priests with more children than Noah.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv7:bedavsagathinos_conv10|I don't want to get involved. This is an argument between you and Agathinos.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv8:close_window|Well said. You step fully and still in the kingdom of heaven.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv9:bedavsagathinos_conv9_2|Ha! That was good!
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv9_2:close_window|Why do I even bother? I'm surrounded by lust.
dlga_bedavsagathinos_conv10:close_window|I asked you because I thought you were a brave man and not a coward who evades a straight answer. Farewell.
dlga_start:ragnarssons_1|I have sent a notice of your arrival to the sons of Ragnar. You are bold to come through all these Mercians. Who sent you?
dlga_start:alfredthegreat1|Emissary of the Danish, I present you to Aelfred of West Seaxe, son of Aethelwulf, Aetheling, Ealdorman, God loved, and brother of and designated successor to the great Athelred, king of West Seaxe and Brytenwalda. Bow to someone who is above you.

dlga_start:close_window.19|I am keeping watch.

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. 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 the 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_2a|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: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_2a:fighter_talk_train_combat_2b|Let's begin then. I am ready.
dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2b:close_window|Good luck.
dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2:fighter_pretalk|Actually, I want to do something else.
dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat_2a: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 practicing blocking, 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 sling. Take the sling and the sling rocks over there and shoot those three targets. The sling is much easier to use 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 sling 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_end2|Train every day, and in time, you will be as good as the best marksmen.
dlga_ranged_end2:close_window|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:ranged_end|Well, with that you have received the basic skills to use all three types of ranged weapons. The rest will come with practice. Train every day, and in time, you will be as good as the best marksmen.
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_talk2|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days training the men of the jarl of Kennemer in the art of archery. If you need a bow and javelins to practice, let me know, and I'll rent them to you both for 10 peningas.
dlga_archer_talk2:archer_challenge2|Yes, I wish to practice my archery with your men (pay 10 peningas).
dlga_archer_talk2:close_window|No, not now.
dlga_archer_challenge2:close_window|Nice to do business with you.
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 sling 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 archery. The bow is a difficult weapon to master, but once you are sufficiently good at it, you will be able to 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|Wait just a moment. 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 challenge 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_end2|You were good. Keep riding and practicing each day, and in time, you will be an expert horseman.
dlga_horsemanship_end2: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:horsemanship_end|Keep riding and practicing each day, and in time, you will be an expert horseman.
dlga_horsemanship_end:close_window|You can also 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_talk2|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_talk2:horseman_challenge2|Yes, thank you for lending me your horse.
dlga_horseman_talk2:close_window|No, not now.
dlga_horseman_challenge2:close_window|No problem. Good luck.
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|Um, 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 moment. I need to do something else first.
dlga_tutorial_troop_default:close_window|Hey, I am trying to practice here. Go and 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:comp_prison_break|What's going on?
dlga_comp_prison_break:comp_prison_break1|I've come to break you out of here.
dlga_comp_prison_break:comp_prison_break1a|You are free to rejoin my party, friend.
dlga_comp_prison_break1:close_window|Thank the heavens you came! However, I'm not going anywhere with these chains on my legs. You'll need to get the key away from the guard somehow.
dlga_comp_prison_break1a:close_window|Thank the heavens you came! Let me get my things collected, and I will rejoin you as soon as I can.
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, my {reg59?lady:lord}. 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 {reg59?lady:fellow} 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 have 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 pening 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 your opponent 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|Moreover, 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|One more thing. My mate, your opponent, 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, {reg59?lassie:young man}.
dlga_ramun_introduce_1:ramun_introduce_2|Forgive me. You look like a trader, but I see no 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, or people unable to pay their debts, 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 peningas 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. 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 have an old club lying around that I was going to throw away. It's a bit battered, but still good enough to bash someone until he stops moving. Here, have it.
dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2:ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Thanks, man. Perhaps I may try my hand at it.
dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing:ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Alright, I'll try and explain 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|Are you done?
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_ask_prisoners|Is there anything else I can do with my prisoners?
dlga_ramun_ask_prisoners:ramun_pre_talk|If you are so inclined, you can interrogate your prisoners while camping, and offer them a chance to join your army. That of course will lower the morale of your army, and some prisoners will agree to join you just to run away back to their families. If you have a figure of authority among your prisoners, such as a Bandit Leader you can ask him to form a band out of your prisoners (you must have more than 50), and send them to raid one of your enemy's villages, or attack them directly in exchange for freedom. But the best way is always for you to sell your prisoners to me.
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_nurse_talk2:close_window|Don't think I want to pay you.
dlga_nurse_talk2:nurse_talk3|Here you are. Now, speak!
dlga_nurse_talk3:close_window|Thank you, your lordship. To be considered as a potential groom, you have to be a person of stature, a pledged vassal or a renowned warrior. At the very least, you should have as much renown as junior lords. Secondly, you must have good relations with the lady, and her father or guardian. Lastly, the most important component is chemistry. The chemistry between you and the lady will largely depend on your charisma, so being ugly, fat, or having a cheap beer or pickle breath would hardly come handy. If you get refused the first time, don't despair, their ladyships are known for playing hard to get, wait a few days and try again. With high persuasion, and charisma, you will eventually prevail, and the lady will agree to get married. Then go and talk to her father or guardian, and get an official blessing from him.

dlga_member_talk:view_member_char_requested|What can you tell me about your skills?
dlga_view_member_char_requested:do_member_view_char|All right, let me tell you...
dlga_member_talk:member_separate|We need to separate for a while.
dlga_member_talk:com_regalo6|(Give warrior rings and bracelets valued at 3000 peningas)
dlga_com_regalo6:do_member_trade|Thank you, I am proud to receive these rewards.
dlga_member_talk:member_separate.1|Leave now.
dlga_member_separate:member_separate_confirm|Oh really? Then this game will probably fail at some point. Is that what you want? **warning**
dlga_member_separate:member_separate_confirm.1|Oh really? Well, I'm not just going to wait around here. I'm going to go to the towns to look for other work. Is that what you want?
dlga_member_separate:companion_quitting|Actually, there is something I need to tell you.
dlga_member_separate_confirm:member_separate_yes|That's right. We need to part ways.
dlga_member_separate_confirm:do_member_trade|No, I'd rather have you at my side.
dlga_member_separate_yes:close_window|Well. I'll be off, then. Look me up if you need me.
dlga_member_talk:member_question|I'd like to ask you something.
dlga_member_talk:close_window|Never mind.
dlga_member_question:member_question_2|Very well. What did you want to ask?
dlga_member_question_2:member_morale|How do you feel about the way things are going in this company?
dlga_member_question_2:member_background_recap|Tell me your story again.
dlga_member_question_2:member_kingsupport_1|I suppose you know that I aspire to be {reg59?queen:king} of this land?
dlga_member_question_2:member_intelgathering_1|Do you have any connections that we could use to our advantage?
dlga_member_question_2:member_improverels_1|I would like to improve my relations with a settlement.
dlga_member_question_2:member_fief_grant_1|Would you be interested in holding a fief?
dlga_member_question_2:close_window|Never mind.
dlga_member_background_recap_3:do_member_trade|Then shortly after, I joined up with you.
dlga_do_member_view_char:member_talk|Anything else?
dlga_member_kingsupport_1:do_member_trade|Um... Yes. I had heard.
dlga_member_kingsupport_1a:member_kingsupport_2|Would you then support my cause?
dlga_member_kingsupport_1a:do_member_trade|Very good. I shall keep that in mind.
dlga_member_kingsupport_2:do_member_trade|I would, {s21}. Moreover, I have a proposal on how I might help you attain your throne. However, you recently sent {s22} off on a similar mission. Perhaps we should wait for a couple of weeks to avoid drawing too much attention to ourselves.
dlga_member_kingsupport_3a:member_kingsupport_4|Very good. You do that
dlga_member_kingsupport_3a:do_member_trade|On second thought, stay with me for a while
dlga_member_kingsupport_4:close_window|Farewell then, {s21}, for a little while
dlga_member_improverels_1:member_improverels_2|What settlement do you have in mind?
dlga_member_improverels_2:do_member_trade|Actually, forget about this, maybe later.
dlga_member_improverels_3:close_window|Very well. I will travel there and try to improve your relations with {s4}, {s21}.
dlga_member_intelgathering_3:member_intelgathering_4|Splendid idea -- you do that.
dlga_member_intelgathering_3:do_member_trade|Actually, hold off for now.
dlga_member_intelgathering_4:close_window|Good. I should be ready to report in about five days. Farewell then, {s21}, for a little while.
dlga_merchant_quest_4_start:close_window|It's time, lads! Up and at them!
dlga_start:relative_saved_1a|Stop! You bring many boats with you. Who are you, and what do you want?
dlga_relative_saved_1a:relative_saved_1b1|My name is {playername}. Are you the army from the Kingdom of Asturias?
dlga_relative_saved_1a:relative_saved_1b2|My name is {playername}. I come in accordance with the agreements with West Seaxe.
dlga_relative_saved_1a:relative_saved_1b2.1|My name is {playername}. I come to negotiate on behalf of the sons of Ragnar.
dlga_relative_saved_1b1:relative_saved_1b2|Yes, and if you know who we are, you can only come from West Seaxe.
dlga_relative_saved_1b2:relative_saved_1b3|I see. Well, my job is not to trust anyone, but stay alert. If your fleet moves, we will attack you. You'll go with two or three men to our ship, and we will take you to the village to talk to our leaders. Five of our men will go to your ship as hostages to guarantee your safety.
dlga_relative_saved_1b3:close_window|Let's go!
dlga_start:bandit_leader_1a|Ay! Spare me! Spare my life! Let me go, and I'll go far away from here, and learn an honest trade, and you'll never hear of me again!
dlga_bandit_leader_1a:bandit_leader_1b|I'll spare your life -- but in exchange, I want information. Either you or your mates kidnapped the brother of a prominent merchant in town. Tell me where you're hiding him, and give me your word that you'll stop troubling the people of these parts, and you can go free.
dlga_start:looter_leader_1|What do you want?
dlga_looter_leader_1:looter_leader_2|I've been looking for you. Tell me where you keep your prisoners, and I'll let you go.
dlga_looter_leader_1:close_window|Nothing. We'll leave you in peace.
dlga_looter_leader_2:looter_leader_3|Hah! Those prisoners are only going free if you pay their ransom. Did you bring any silver?
dlga_looter_leader_3:close_window|No, but I brought steel.
dlga_bandit_leader_1b:close_window|Oh bless you, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. Bless you. We've done the lad no harm. We've been keeping him in our hideout near {s9}. I'll describe the area nearby in detail, so there's no mistaking it...
dlga_start:close_window.30|Beautiful work, {playername}! Let me have my {reg33} peningas. I hope you got your fair share from the weeping men of {s33}.
dlga_start:close_window.31|Shame on you, {playername}! You are a miserable failure. You couldn't even defeat those weeping men of {s33}.
dlga_start:rescue_prisoner_succeed_2|{playername}, you saved him! Thank you ever so much for rescuing my {s11}. Please, take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
dlga_rescue_prisoner_succeed_2:lord_pretalk|Always an honour to serve, {s65}.
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 is 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 {reg59?woman:man} 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 the Northlands. 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 the Northlands, sometimes gamekeepers will turn poacher. Luckily, there 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 peningas, 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, {reg59?my lady:sir}, but I am disappointed. You would do well to reconsider. I am a rich man, 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_window.32|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 the Northlands, {reg59?my lady:my boy}! 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. Good luck.
dlga_start:member_intel_liaison|Greetings, stranger.
dlga_member_intel_liaison:member_intel_liaison_results|What have you discovered?
dlga_member_intel_liaison:close_window|It's time to pull you out. Let's leave town separately, but join me soon after.
dlga_member_intel_liaison:close_window.1|You're doing good work. Stay here for a little longer.
dlga_member_intel_liaison_results:member_intel_liaison|{s11} I noticed that you have been keeping some notes about individual lords. I have annotated those with my findings.
dlga_member_fief_grant_1:member_fief_grant_2|Which fief did you have in mind?
dlga_member_fief_grant_2:do_member_trade|Never mind. There is no fief I can offer.
dlga_start:close_window.33|You lead.
dlga_start:bodo_carta1|My {reg59?lady:lord}, you have retrieved the letter!
dlga_start:bodo_choiceside1|Wait, my {reg59?lady:lord}. It's time to say farewell to the Danish and travel south to West Seaxe. We need to deliver the letter of the king of Asturias to Aethelred Aethelwulfing, king of West Seaxe and brother of Aelfred. I will finally be able to finish my mission.
dlga_start:bodo_danishcamp1|My {reg59?lady:lord}, give me a moment before we go to the Danish camp, please!
dlga_start:close_window.34|Good luck with Bjorn.
dlga_start:sigurd_quest_revenge10|You send me to my death, my friend, but I do not blame you. I understand that you want to rescue your mother. I regret only two things: failing my king and leaving his letter in the hands of his enemies and not having obtained your fidelity when I had the chance.
dlga_start:close_window.35|So, scum, did you think that you could turn against the Danish and not pay? It's time for someone else to take legitimate direction of this party. It is time for me, Egil, to take possession of this letter and bring it to my father, King Horik. I spent so long at your side, just to discover that you are a treacherous rat. After everything that has happened... Well, I have long doubted your skills to command an army. Now, you are going to die. This is my moment of glory.
dlga_start:close_window.36|My {reg59?lady:lord}, you must hurry to join the king. Follow me.
dlga_start:close_window.37|Sorry, this is not a good time to talk.
dlga_start:brunhild_avisa|My {reg59?lady:lord}, Sven's hideout was a dangerous place, but we managed to ransom Bodo. I understand you want to find your mother, but let me tell you when I was in the court of the jarl of Kennemer, I heard horrible things about Sigurd...
dlga_start:companions_despuesduelo1|My {reg59?lady:lord}, we want you to know that no one blames you for what happened in the duel, and everyone still fully supports you.
dlga_start:close_window.38|Let's leave whenever you are ready.
dlga_start:close_window.39|Please do not waste any more of my time today, {reg59?lady:lord}. Perhaps we shall meet again in our travels.
dlga_start:companion_reginhard4x|An orphan came in to thank me for helping her family. You're a good person, {playername}! You've gotten me to feel less guilty and a little happier.
dlga_start:close_window.40|Did you give Adda the money?
dlga_start:companion_reginhard43|You have turned back for now, but surely you remain interested in Thiaderd's hideout...
dlga_companion_recruit_intro_responsebodos:companion_recruit_backstory_a|Tell me what's happened since the Woden Ric was attacked by Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_companion_recruit_intro_responsebrunhilds:companion_recruit_backstory_a|Calm down. Your father, Thonkrik, has sent me to find you.
dlga_companion_recruit_intro_response:companion_recruit_egil1|Keep your distance and tell me what you want.
dlga_companion_recruit_egil1:companion_recruit_backstory_a|Easy! I'm not an enemy. I saw you talking to King Horik and followed you. My hands are nowhere near my weapons, and I'm at your mercy...
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsesolveig:companion_questions_solveig1|I do not like when someone is following me.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsesolveig:companion_questions_solveig2|Thanks, I think I owe you my life.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsesolveig:companion_questions_solveig3|Thanks, but no help was needed with these men.
dlga_companion_questions_solveig1:companion_recruit_backstory_response|{s2}^^Neither do I! I'm Solveig, and I have chosen to serve you and protect you while you remain worthy.
dlga_companion_questions_solveig2:companion_recruit_backstory_response|{s2}^^They were but fools. They had been following you for days and have had a hundred better opportunities. However, any chosen time would have been a failure, because I was ready to rescue you.
dlga_companion_questions_solveig3:companion_recruit_backstory_response|{s2}^^Do not worry. I will not tell anyone that I had to rescue you when you were with your pants down.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responseagathinos:companion_questions_aghatinos1|Are you not afraid of bandits on the roads, traveling alone as you are?
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responseagathinos:companion_questions_aghatinos2|I would never have expected to see a Greek in Northvegr.
dlga_companion_questions_aghatinos1:companion_recruit_backstory_response|{s2}^^Well, I was not alone, and now I'm with you, and I'm sure the bandits will run away when they see you.
dlga_companion_questions_aghatinos2:companion_recruit_backstory_response|{s2}^^I had never expected to find a Norwegian in Konstantinoupolis, but there they were, busy taking me into slavery!
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsebeda:companion_questions_beda1|What are you talking about? Was it you who sent the message about my mother?
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsebeda:companion_questions_beda1.1|Shut up, scum! So you know my mother?
dlga_companion_questions_beda1:companion_questions_beda2|{s2}^^Yes, yes! She sent me to talk to you. I was with her... I mean that I was her servant, her slave, when the Danish of Sven Bull Neck took me prisoner. Sven is terrible! I was afraid. I often thought about escaping, but I was so scared that I did not even try.
dlga_companion_questions_beda4:companion_questions_beda5|{s2}^^I was the slave of your mother after the Danish captured me in East Engle little more than a month ago. She is not well, but that you already know. She is very ill; is dying. Most of the time, she does not remember who she is and says strange things. The Vikings of Sven Bull Neck think she is a seidr, someone who has spirits, and they consult her about their Fate. Sven has married her because that is believed to improve luck. He says that when he captures you, he will sacrifice you to the gods, because you have the blood of a seidr.
dlga_companion_questions_beda5:companion_questions_beda61|I'm listening.
dlga_companion_questions_beda5:companion_questions_beda62|I'm not interested in Sven. Tell me about my mother.
dlga_companion_questions_beda61:companion_questions_beda62|Sven Bull Neck is a troubled man, and you have become his obsession for having killed his brother, a man named Olvir. Your mother predicted Olvir's death at your hands, and Sven is angry with his master, Sigurd Ragnarsson, as he was the one who sent Olvir to where you were.^^I've only known Sven a little. I heard the men say he was once a great leader, a shepherd of men. To the contrary, I saw a man who maintains loyalty through fear.
dlga_companion_questions_beda62:companion_questions_beda63|Sometimes your mother could remember and be herself. Then she would speak about you, her {reg59?daughter:son}. She said that you were destined for greatness, and that your destiny is beyond the control of the Norns that sent Sven. Only she regrets that her end is near and that she will not see you.^^She told me to flee, to find you and remind you that the happiest day of her life was when you came into the world. She also told me that if she never sees you again, she would always be by your side.
dlga_companion_questions_beda63:companion_questions_beda7|Where is she?
dlga_companion_questions_beda63:companion_questions_beda7.1|She was always a weak woman. Where is Sven?
dlga_companion_questions_beda7:companion_questions_beda8|When I escaped, we were close to Grantebrycge, but that was two weeks ago, which is what it took me to find you. The last I heard was that Sven Bull Neck gathered his men and led them to their ships to be at the service of the king.
dlga_companion_questions_beda8:companion_questions_beda9|Is he going to Douar-an-Enez?
dlga_companion_questions_beda8:companion_questions_beda92|I understand. I think I know where they went.
dlga_companion_questions_beda9:companion_recruit_backstory_response|What? I have no idea who Douar is. Listen, I can't stay here. Your mother asked me to take care of you, so I'm going with you.
dlga_companion_questions_beda92:companion_recruit_backstory_response|That is great! Listen. I can't remain here. Your mother asked me to take care of you, so I'm going with you.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responseasbjorn:companion_questions_asbjorn1|I've had to kill a companion and join a war fleet. Now I must take a judge along?
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responseasbjorn:companion_questions_asbjorn2|I supposed that the Assembly would send someone. I did not think it would be you.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responseasbjorn:companion_questions_asbjorn6|A doctor, eh? Yes, you are welcome. Let's get on track and join the Viking fleet.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn2:companion_questions_asbjorn2_1|{s2}^^The Assembly decided I join you, but I am happy to carry it out. It is not my intention to control you, but I must ensure that you join the fleet and come to Englaland. From that moment on, I would like you to see me as a companion, as the doctor your men need.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn2_1:companion_questions_asbjorn1|I've had to kill a companion and join a war fleet. Now I must take a judge along?
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn2_1:companion_questions_asbjorn6|I guess I have no choice. Let's get on track and join the Viking fleet.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn1:companion_questions_asbjorn3|{s2}^^I understand that things have not been easy, but the Assembly is the law. It is what keeps the balance in every part of Danmark and even in the whole kingdom. What do you think would have happened without the jurisdiction of the Assembly? Possibly a war between the King Horik and Jarl Sigurd? Who knows, this may still occur despite the Assembly. It would not be the first time. Honor and truth are very important in Danmark, and there are only two ways to satisfy their requirements: with wergild or blood. The line between friendship and hatred between two neighbors sharing the land is very thin. If the Assembly did not exist, hundreds of men would die every day for the slightest of complaints.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn3:companion_questions_asbjorn4|The Assembly was not fair to me, whatever good there is in avoiding a war.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn3:companion_questions_asbjorn6|That is fine. Let's get on track and join the Viking fleet.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn4:companion_questions_asbjorn5|{s2}^^Assembly decisions cannot please everyone. Dare I say, sometimes the judgments of the Assembly are not meant to be fair. Its mission is to maintain order and balance, ensuring that men come to the Assembly to settle disputes instead of killing each other.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn5:companion_questions_asbjorn6|Let's get on track and join the Viking fleet.
dlga_companion_questions_asbjorn6:companion_recruit_signup|I'm sure we will be good friends. We must go to the port of Ribe as soon as you can and ask the port master to join the fleet.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsebodo:companion_questions_bodo1|How did you get here?
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsebodo:companion_questions_bodo2|Bodo... did anyone else survive the Viking attack?
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_responsebrunhild:companion_recruit_signup|Friese has not treated me well either, especially the jarl of Kennemer. I'm leaving this land, and you're coming with me.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_response2:companion_reginhard1|Take another drink and tell me why you should not be here, Reginhard.

dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge10:sigurd_quest_revenge12|Good luck, Bodo. It was interesting to travel with you.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge10:sigurd_quest_revenge12.1|I never wanted you by my side, scitte.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge11:sigurd_quest_revenge12|I think that rescue won't be possible, but thank you for the kind thought. I hope we meet in the afterlife. Now go and rescue your mother, my friend.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge12:close_window|(You watch as Sigurd's men drag Bodo away. The Cantabrian turns his head back once to look at you before accepting his fate.)
dlga_bodo_carta1:bodo_carta2|{s2}^^Damn! These Vikings have broken the seal. Fortunately, the letter of King Aldefonso was encrypted. I hope that the Vikings were not able to solve the mystery.
dlga_bodo_carta1:bodo_carta21|{s2}^^When you gave me to Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' I thought it was my end. I would die disgraced for having brought death to the Woden Ric and for not being able to fulfill the mission of my king. Fortunately for me, the letter of King Aldefonso was encrypted, so I'm still alive. The Vikings were not able to solve the mystery and brought me here to torture and tell them the code before the Assembly. The Vikings are not imaginative with torture, but they are brutal. I think if you had not come, I would not have endured much longer alive.
dlga_bodo_carta21:bodo_carta31|I'm sorry for having given you to Sigurd, my friend. I'm glad to have you back.
dlga_bodo_carta21:bodo_carta32|I thought Sigurd would kill you. I see you're tougher than I thought.
dlga_bodo_carta2:bodo_carta33|--You try to read the letter.--
dlga_bodo_carta2:bodo_carta34|--You don't know how to read, so you cannot understand it. Give the letter to Bodo.--
dlga_bodo_carta2:bodo_carta35|Tell me about this letter, Bodo. Why is it so important?
dlga_bodo_carta31:bodo_carta4|{s2}^^Do not worry. I am aware of the pressure that you feel on your shoulders and of the concern that you have for the life of your mother. What matters now is that we are together and we have the letter.
dlga_bodo_carta32:bodo_carta4|Fortunately, they needed me to decrypt the document. If I had given them what they wanted, I would have been dead long ago. Well, I do not want to think about this. Now we're back together and have the letter.
dlga_bodo_carta4:bodo_carta33|--You open the parchment carefully, avoiding touching Atli's bloodstains with your fingers. You try reading the letter.--
dlga_bodo_carta4:bodo_carta34|--You don't know how to read, so you cannot understand it. Give the letter to Bodo.--
dlga_bodo_carta4:bodo_carta35|Tell me about this letter, Bodo. Why is it so important?
dlga_bodo_carta33:bodo_carta34|--The text is Latin, and it talks about Noah and his ark, with many comments by a monk, but nothing that would appear relevant.--
dlga_bodo_carta35:bodo_carta34|This letter is important and can change everything, but I need your help to finish my mission. It's time to reveal its secrets...
dlga_bodo_carta34:bodo_carta5|The trick is to read the first word after each period in the first three lines of each paragraph and read the last words before the period in the following.
dlga_bodo_carta5:bodo_carta6|{s2}^^Aldefonso became king very recently, after inheriting the throne of his father. He explains at the beginning of this letter that he respects the North and continues the covenants of his father. He sends a messenger to West Seaxe -- me -- and another to Frankia. The North Sea, he says, should be made safe and the Vikings eradicated. West Seaxe is the best place from which to do this, given its proximity to Danmark.
dlga_bodo_carta6:bodo_carta61|Why would the Kingdom of Asturias be worried about the Vikings?
dlga_bodo_carta6:bodo_carta8|Get to the point, Bodo.
dlga_bodo_carta61:bodo_carta7|{s2}^^My king, Aldefonso, is particularly concerned about the Danish, who are the ones who led the raids on his kingdom in the past. There were two particularly worrying attacks, which King Aldefonso does not want repeated. The first was about twenty-four years ago, during the reign of King Ranimiro, Aldefonso's grandfather, when the Vikings were seen near to Asturias coast with more than 120 ships and 3000 men. Ranimiro quickly gathered his men in Cantabria and Asturias and sent messages to come to Gallaecia, where the Vikings landed to cause damage. Ranimiro was a warrior king. When the Vikings arrived, he was firmly entrenched in a stronghold, so he was able to defeat them in battle and burn 70 ships.
dlga_bodo_carta7:bodo_carta8|All the same, another big Viking expedition came ten years ago, in the time of King Ordonio, the father of the current king. The fleet of almost 100 ships was led by Bjorn Ironside and Haesten, Ragnar's sons. They disembarked in Gallaecia, near the tomb of Santiago, and caused much damage before they were expelled. After this King Ordonio began contacting other kingdoms in the North that had been attacked by Vikings, too, especially Frankia and West Seaxe. This letter is the finale to years of diplomatic efforts.
dlga_bodo_carta8:bodo_carta9|The letter says that according to what was promised by his father, Aldefonso agrees to send 20 ships and 600 men to West Seaxe. The men are all veterans of the Muslim wars, fully equipped with chain mail, sword, spear and shield. These men, joining West Seaxe with contributions from Frankia, will cleanse the sea of Vikings. The letter details the route and the ports these men will use on their journey to West Seaxe and asks the very noble king, Aethelred of the Seaxna, to prepare accommodation and food for them. Do you see the importance of this letter, and why Sigurd Ragnarsson, or any Viking leader, for that matter, would want to intercept it?
dlga_bodo_carta9:bodo_carta91|This alliance may harm the interests of the Danish and their way of life.
dlga_bodo_carta9:bodo_carta92|Six hundred veteran men would allow West Seaxe to conquer other kingdoms.
dlga_bodo_carta9:bodo_carta91.1|I'd rather you tell me.
dlga_bodo_carta9:bodo_carta11|Honestly, I do not care. Now that we have the letter, it's time to go back to King Horik.
dlga_bodo_carta92:bodo_carta91|No, you are not listening to me. This army is not to be used for conquering. It is an alliance with one objective: cleanse the North Sea of Vikings. Allow me to explain.
dlga_bodo_carta91:bodo_carta10|Figure that 600 veteran men from each kingdom make 1800 soldiers whose sole purpose is to finish the Vikings. We're not talking about a peasant levy but about professional warriors, well trained and well equipped. This is a huge economic burden for any one kingdom, but if they are well led -- King Aethelred's brother, Aelfred, was chosen for this -- it could free the North Sea of the tempest that now whips it. Therefore, the letter is important to my mission, so Sigurd Ragnarsson made every effort to intercept it. If he can show the letter in the Assembly and so demonstrate the danger that it portends for all of them, the Assembly will make him king with the mission of preventing this alliance.
dlga_bodo_carta10:bodo_carta11|Then I will give the letter to King Horik, so it will be he who will lead the Danish.
dlga_bodo_carta10:bodo_carta13|Fine. In that case, I'll give the letter to West Seaxe.
dlga_bodo_carta10:bodo_carta13.1|I need to see what the Assembly decides. Then I will decide. Save it for now.
dlga_bodo_carta10:bodo_carta13.2|This letter is a powerful weapon. Keep it safe.
dlga_bodo_carta11:bodo_carta12|If you give this letter to King Horik or any other Norseman, he will use it to gain power and then destroy all that my kings have fought for over the years. I understand that your concerns now are the Assembly and your mother. I'll help you with that now. Later we will discuss the letter again.
dlga_bodo_carta12:bodo_carta13|Fine, but don't think I'll change my mind. I will certainly give it to the Vikings.
dlga_bodo_carta12:bodo_carta13.1|Fine, but don't think I'll change my mind. I will certainly give it to West Seaxe.
dlga_bodo_carta12:bodo_carta13.2|Fine, we'll talk about the letter later.
dlga_bodo_carta13:bodo_carta14|Well, we will tell King Horik that the letter was destroyed during the fight with Atli Eiriksson. Then he does not have to worry about Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' using it in the Assembly. This will ensure his support for your cause.
dlga_bodo_carta14:close_window|Let's not waste any more time but get out of this cave.
dlga_brunhild_avisa:companion_brunhild_conv|Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' was in the mead hall of the jarl of Kennemer on more than one occasion. He is not just any man, my {reg59?lady:lord}! You know that the jarl of Kennemer is a hard man, but he trembled before Sigurd. Sigurd doesn't say a lot, he never smiles, and his snake eyes burrow into you as if he were trying to read your thoughts. I was but a slave, but I heard things. People say that he is the most dangerous of the sons of Ragnar, a man who would kill you just for coughing nearby or for being in his way on the wrong day.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv:companion_brunhild_conv3|The beautiful Brunhild is right, {playername}. From what I know, Sigurd Ragnarsson is the kind of man that one should avoid. Unfortunately, he blocks our way...
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv3:companion_brunhild_conv4|I don't believe it is so bad. You can't trust the jarl of Kennemer, since he is an accomplished actor who uses every possible tool to try to manipulate others. If he saw an advantage in passing as timid before Sigurd, he would've done that. I would be very careful with him, as he's a man who smiles when you face him, and stabs you with a dagger when you turn. With Sigurd, at least, you always know where he is coming from.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv4:companion_brunhild_conv5|Reginhard is talking without knowing him. I've heard things and seen things. Maybe Reginhard was too busy drinking or betraying someone. Sigurd is spiteful, never forgiving -- and never forgetting...
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv5:companion_brunhild_conv6|You have the gall, woman, to call me a drunk and traitor to my face! You know nothing about me! Watch your words, or you will have to watch your back.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv6:companion_brunhild_conv71|Brunhild! Reginhard has had a hard life. Don't use what happened to Thiaderd against him.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv6:companion_brunhild_conv72|Reginhard! Overcome your regrets and your past and never threaten a member of this party.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv6:companion_brunhild_conv73|Am I with grown people or children? Silence both you, now! Bodo, what do you think?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv6:companion_brunhild_conv73.1|Bodo, can you give me some advice about Sigurd?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv71:companion_brunhild_conv73|I'm sorry, my {reg59?lady:lord}. I'm sorry, Reginhard. I let my temper get the best of me.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv72:companion_brunhild_conv73|Yes, I see how things work now. I withdraw my threats, but she should watch her words.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv73:companion_brunhild_conv74|We are at crossroads. Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' has what we need, and your mother's life is in danger. In my opinion, we should go and talk to him, even if it costs us our lives. We have no choice...
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv74:companion_brunhild_conv75|Maybe there is another way. There is a powerful man who hates Sigurd: King Horik Gottfredsson of Danmark, Sigurd's king.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv75:companion_brunhild_conv76|Why does his king hate him, Brunhild?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv75:companion_brunhild_conv8|Imagine what you propose. If you were to speak to King Horik, what would you say?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv76:companion_brunhild_conv8|Well, I know only what I've heard. They are enemies. Maybe Sigurd wants to be king himself.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv8:companion_brunhild_conv9|Sigurd would be stupid, then. King Horik could banish him, make him an outcast, and strip him of his lands by denouncing him for the slightest infraction at the Thing.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv9:companion_brunhild_conv10|My knowledge is limited, but perhaps Sigurd is as powerful as the king himself. Or maybe King Horik doesn't want more wars in Danmark, after getting his throne after a long war with the other jarls.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv10:companion_brunhild_conv111|Reginhard, what is this 'thing' you speak of?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv10:companion_brunhild_conv112|Speak with Sigurd or tell King Horik? We have a difficult decision to make.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv111:companion_brunhild_conv112|The Thing or the Assembly is a meeting of free men where disputes are solved and political decisions are made.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv112:companion_brunhild_conv12|I think we should get the protection and support of King Horik. This will give us an advantage when talking to Sigurd and will force him to respect our lives. If King Horik helps us, you can legally claim your mother back.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv12:companion_brunhild_conv13|Do not go straight to Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' now. It may cause the death of your mother, and perhaps you will lose track of Sven Bull Neck forever. Why not see whether King Horik will support us?
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv13:companion_brunhild_conv14|If I had to choose between going straight to Sigurd and getting myself killed or going to Horik and getting your mother killed, I wouldn't know what to say. You got me out of the hole where I was, so I'm fine with your choice whatever it is.
dlga_companion_brunhild_conv14:close_window|I need to think about it. Thank you, all. We have to continue our travels.
dlga_companion_questions_bodo1:companion_recruit_backstory_responsebodo|Sven Bull Neck came here after the attack. He left some of his men here with us, the prisoners. I also saw him sending ships on a mission to attack Friese. Then he went north. I think something or someone called him there. Rather, I have heard his men say this, but not everything they say is true.
dlga_companion_questions_bodo2:companion_responsebodostory|I know you really want to ask if your mother is still alive, and where she is. Well, I have not told you everything. I need you to stay calm and listen to me carefully.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory2:companion_responsebodostory3|{s2}^^Sven Bull Neck didn't end up there by chance. Our boat was his goal, and we had a traitor on board...
dlga_companion_responsebodostory3:companion_responsebodostory41|What are you saying? What purpose? What traitor?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory3:companion_responsebodostory42|I could care less about all you have to say. I want to know what happened to my mother.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory42:companion_responsebodostory41|{s2}^^I told you to remain calm! I'll get to that shortly, but you should know this first...
dlga_companion_responsebodostory41:companion_responsebodostory5|{s2}^^What happened was my fault, {playername}. I was Sven Bull Neck's target, so we were attacked and so on. I commended my soul to Erudino, for I was willing to die, but the Vikings wanted me alive. Therefore, it was I who brought death to my family on the boat. My redemption is that Sven Bull Neck will die at my hands.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory5:companion_responsebodostory61|So YOU were the traitor?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory5:companion_responsebodostory62|This is all your fault. You have destroyed my life.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory5:companion_responsebodostory63|No, Sven Bull Neck is mine, and I will kill you if you cross my path.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory61:companion_responsebodostory7|{s2}^^You're not listening to me! I was the Sven's target. How can I betray myself?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory62:companion_responsebodostory7|{s2}^^I know, and I'm so sorry.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory63:companion_responsebodostory7|{s2}^^This is not the issue to deal with now... but I promised Erudino.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory7:companion_responsebodostory8|I was stupid. I believed that the Woden Ric was safe, but I was wrong. I was betrayed by its captain. The poor man thought that Sven Bull Neck would give him wealth. He was cheated, for, when the Vikings raided the Woden Ric, he was killed. Maybe that is the real reason why we stopped among those shipwrecks...
dlga_companion_responsebodostory8:companion_responsebodostory9|The Woden Ric captain betrayed me -- indeed, all of us -- but I do not begrudge him that. He was just an idiot, and this cost him his life.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory9:companion_responsebodostory101|He is lucky to be dead, because I would kill him myself. I hate traitors.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory9:companion_responsebodostory102|But why was Sven Bull Neck chasing you? Why were YOU his goal?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory9:companion_responsebodostory103|I'm still waiting to hear about my mother.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory101:companion_responsebodostory103|{s2}^^Little can be done in this regard.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory102:companion_responsebodostory11|I was Sven Bull Neck's target, as I had something very important in my hands, something so important that his lord, Sigurd Ragnarson, would kill for it. However, I myself did something terrible before the Viking assault, something I regret.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory103:companion_responsebodostory102|Your mother is alive. When I awoke, a prisoner on Sven Bull Neck's ship, your mother was next to me. We were the only survivors, or so I thought until you came to my rescue today. Your mother thinks you are dead, my friend.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory11:companion_responsebodostory13|What did you do?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory13:companion_responsebodostory14|I gave it to your mother! I thought that it was safer in her hands than in mine... Before you take any fatal action against me in justified anger, you should know that it saved her life, because the Vikings thought she was my master.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory14:companion_responsebodostory15|Do you understand? If not for that object, she probably would be dead now, like the rest of the people of the Woden Ric. Your mother's disease helped too, because the Vikings think that madness is a touch of the gods. Sven took your mother north with him and left me to my fate here, to be sold as a slave, because he thought she was my master and the object carrier. We must hurry, because when Sven Bull Neck discovers the truth, he will kill her.
dlga_companion_responsebodostory15:companion_responsebodostory161|Who are you, really, and what is so important to be so wanted by Sven and his lord, Sigurd?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory15:companion_responsebodostory162|Where has he taken my mother?
dlga_companion_responsebodostory161:companion_recruit_signup|That's not important, but I will tell you that I'm not a common traveler. I was sent by the king of Asturias, and what I brought with me is a gift that could change the course of a war! We'll talk about this later. It is urgent now to find your mother. Sven Bull Neck was summoned by his lord, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' Ragnarsson. Sigurd wants this object badly. He will interrogate your mother about it, because he thinks she has the information he needs. We must find Sigurd soon.

dlga_companion_reginhard2:companion_reginhard3|Alright, I will stay with you, but tell me why you should not be here.
dlga_companion_reginhard2:companion_reginhard3.1|Come on, Reginhard, I'm legitimate. Tell me why you should not be here.
dlga_companion_reginhard2:companion_reginhard3.2|Reginhard, take these 50 peningas. I know that times are bad and friends should help.
dlga_companion_reginhard2:companion_reginhard3.3|You're such an interesting person. What is your story? (Persuasion)
dlga_companion_reginhard3:companion_reginhard4|{s2}^^When my family died, I joined the rebels, tough and brave men who struggle to free us from the oppression of the Danish. I fought at their side, and I was happy because being with them, always busy and fearing death, made me forget what happened to my family.
dlga_companion_reginhard4:companion_reginhard41|Why are you no longer with them?
dlga_companion_reginhard4:companion_reginhard42|What can you tell me about your leader?
dlga_companion_reginhard4:companion_reginhard421|How can I find them?
dlga_companion_reginhard421:companion_reginhard422|You cannot find them. They do not want to be found. These men fear the jarl. Thiaderd only allows people he trusts to join.
dlga_companion_reginhard422:companion_reginhard423|I am trustworthy. Ask me anything you want.
dlga_companion_reginhard422:companion_reginhard423.1|I think you're playing with me, and I do not like it. I'm leaving.
dlga_companion_reginhard423:close_window|{s3}^^Look at me and listen. There are many people having a hard time during this rebellion, particularly the many widows and orphans. There is a woman in Dorestad who collects donations to care for these widows and orphans. Go see her and help. I think you're a good person, but show me. Talk to this woman. Her name is Adda. You can find her in the shop on the wharf. Make a donation in my name. Maybe this will help my people see me with different eyes.
dlga_bodo_choiceside1:bodo_choiceside21|Bodo, remind me about your mission.
dlga_bodo_choiceside1:bodo_choiceside22|Yes, I was thinking about the letter, and I've made a decision.
dlga_bodo_choiceside21:bodo_choiceside22|Your memory is fragile, my friend. When we traveled in the Woden Ric, Sven Bull Neck attacked us to steal a letter that I had. That's where our history began. Sven stole the letter for Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' his jarl, but we recovered the letter in Northvegr. We pulled it from the hands of the corpse of Atli, the man whom Sigurd had ordered to protect the letter. Now the letter is in our possession, and we were waiting for the right time to take it to West Seaxe. This time has come.
dlga_bodo_choiceside22:bodo_choiceside3|I am very happy! Without you, I would not have gotten this far. The letter will coordinate the alliance between West Seaxe, Asturias and the Franks. These three kingdoms will gather together men and ships to cleanse the North Sea of Vikings. In fact, it is possible that the fleet of Asturias is about to be sent, because my mission has been delayed.
dlga_bodo_choiceside3:bodo_choiceside4_s|I would like to hear the opinions of my other companions before making a decision.
dlga_bodo_choiceside3:bodo_choiceside4_1|Now, hear my decision.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_1:bodo_choiceside4_2|{playername}, I think you should listen to our opinion before deciding.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_2:bodo_choiceside4_s|Sure.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_2:bodo_choiceside9|No, I'm the leader and don't need your opinions.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_s:bodo_choiceside4|I have nothing to say. I will listen to the others.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_s:bodo_choiceside4.1|I submit to whatever {playername} chooses.
dlga_bodo_choiceside4_s:bodo_choiceside4.2|--He clears his throat to get the attention of all.--
dlga_bodo_choiceside4:bodo_choiceside41|Sorry, but I can't be impartial in this matter. My ancestors, my family, are Vikings. The gods have granted us victory upon victory, so that we may acquire fame and wealth. This invasion we have embarked upon is in the footsteps of the sons of Ragnar in Englaland. It is a rich, fertile land worth fighting for. The Danish understand that if you can seize something, it's yours. It is for the inhabitants of the land to defend it and be worthy adversaries.
dlga_bodo_choiceside41:bodo_choiceside42|The Danish are not beggars, and do not come asking for a piece of land. Danes do not ask for charity from the Saxons. We come with weapons in hand, ready to fight. If the Angles or Saxons defeat us, we will respect their victory, but if we prevail, the gods are with us and the fertile soil belongs to us. That is what I believe. If the Saxons and Franks come northward to fight and defeat the Danish, they are true warriors and the land is theirs.
dlga_bodo_choiceside42:bodo_choiceside43|Your opinion will weigh heavily in my decision, Asbjorn. Thank you.
dlga_bodo_choiceside42:bodo_choiceside43.1|This does not clarify anything.
dlga_bodo_choiceside42:bodo_choiceside43.2|All men have the right to live without having to worry about what the sea may bring.
dlga_bodo_choiceside43:bodo_choiceside5|I've said all I have to say. You have my support, whatever you decide. It doesn't matter anyway, as fate has already been written.
dlga_bodo_choiceside43:bodo_choiceside5.1|Whatever you decide, I'm taking my leave and going back to Odinsve. I've made good friends in this party, but I know that now we'll be at odds. Therefore, I leave while we are still all friends.
dlga_bodo_choiceside5:bodo_choiceside51|I am not as good as Asbjorn at speaking. I'm just a slave who escaped from the hands of a Danish jarl. You know what I think about the Danish, or rather certain Danes who occupy Kennemer. They come, kill and take what they want. If delivering the letter to West Seaxe means a safer North Sea, you have my support. If you deliver the letter to the Danish, on the other hand...
dlga_bodo_choiceside51:bodo_choiceside6|Your opinion evens my decision, Brunhild.
dlga_bodo_choiceside51:bodo_choiceside53|What? What would you do if I carry the letter to the Danish?
dlga_bodo_choiceside53:bodo_choiceside6|I'll stay by your side, even though I do not like your decision. I owe you too much and have spent too much time with you to do otherwise.
dlga_bodo_choiceside53:bodo_choiceside6.1|I will take another direction. I will not be part of what happens.
dlga_bodo_choiceside6:bodo_choiceside7|Well... well I do not know what to say. I'm fine here. I think I'll stay with you, choose what you want.
dlga_bodo_choiceside6:bodo_choiceside61|I'm not happy here. I'm sorry, but I must leave and find another person to follow.
dlga_bodo_choiceside61:bodo_choiceside62|You are very important to this group, Agathinos. I want you to follow us.
dlga_bodo_choiceside61:bodo_choiceside7|I see. We'll be better off without you.
dlga_bodo_choiceside62:bodo_choiceside7|{s2}^^Great! Then I'll stay.
dlga_bodo_choiceside7:bodo_choiceside71|It is my turn to speak. I have chosen you. I have followed you. I have fought beside you. Therefore, I think I know you better than most, {playername}. I am from Northvegr. We fought against the Danes often, and many other times we drank and laughed with them. They are like us: free men who choose to live out their fate. In Danmark or Northvegr, we have laws, but Englaland does not belong to anyone that matters. They are weak kingdoms with much wealth for the taking. You cannot put a treasure in plain sight of a man, not protect it and simply hope that he does not take it. If you're an idiot, why is it his fault?
dlga_bodo_choiceside71:bodo_choiceside8|Strength and Chaos? I love your idea, too, Solveig.
dlga_bodo_choiceside71:bodo_choiceside8.1|Rule by force is not fair and just brings chaos.
dlga_bodo_choiceside8:bodo_choiceside9|Chaos is good. I'll keep at your side no matter what happens. Too many things unite us.
dlga_bodo_choiceside8:bodo_choiceside9.1|Chaos is good. Sorry, but I don't fight against free men who have merely chosen to be Vikings.
dlga_bodo_choiceside9:bodo_choiceside10|{s2}^^I'm worried about all this. I thought you were on my side. We were to go to the king of West Seaxe together, but now I do not know. I sense doubt...
dlga_bodo_choiceside10:bodo_choiceside111|I have no doubt, Bodo. We will go together to the king of West Seaxe.
dlga_bodo_choiceside10:bodo_choiceside112|I have decided to give the letter to Rathbarth and the rest of Ragnar's sons.
dlga_bodo_choiceside111:bodo_choiceside13|{s2}^^I knew you would not fail me. Well, we must go to the king of West Seaxe as soon as possible!
dlga_bodo_choiceside112:bodo_choiceside14|--His face goes from bewilderment to uncontrolled fury.--^^What? Traitor! I trusted you, I considered you a friend, a brother. Not only have you failed me, but you're encouraging our enemies. After all we've been through, Sigurd and Sven triumph. Well, I will not stay idle. Farewell, {playername}, and hope we do not meet again... for your sake.
dlga_bodo_choiceside112:bodo_choiceside14.1|{s2}^^What? Traitor! I trusted you. We have our differences and do not always get along, but I thought you'd honor your word. Not only have you failed me, but you're encouraging our enemies. After all we've been through, Sigurd and Sven triumph. Well, I will not stay idle. Farewell, {playername}, and hope we do not meet again... for your sake.
dlga_bodo_choiceside13:bodo_choiceside131|As I say, the Norns weave the threads at will.
dlga_bodo_choiceside13:bodo_choiceside131.1|I guess this is farewell. I will be with my family, in Odinsve. Maybe in the future we see each other. I respect your decision, and I leave without rancor.
dlga_bodo_choiceside131:bodo_choiceside132|Well... well I am with you.
dlga_bodo_choiceside131:bodo_choiceside132.1|I'm not happy here, you know. I'm leaving. I think it is time to return to Konstantinoupolis.
dlga_bodo_choiceside132:bodo_choiceside15|You put me between a rock and a hard place, but I gave my word, and I will keep it. I follow you.
dlga_bodo_choiceside132:bodo_choiceside15.1|Sorry, but I don't fight against free men who have merely chosen to be Vikings. I said it, and I stand by it. It's time to find a new master. I hope you are treated well in West Seaxe, {reg59?my pretty:handsome}.
dlga_bodo_choiceside14:bodo_choiceside141|I think you're wrong, but I'm loyal to you and follow you wherever you go.
dlga_bodo_choiceside14:bodo_choiceside141.1|Our paths diverge, {playername}. Good luck. If you ever go through Friese, you might find me in my father's house... or maybe not.
dlga_bodo_choiceside141:bodo_choiceside15|Well... well I am with you.
dlga_bodo_choiceside141:bodo_choiceside15.1|I'm not happy here, you know. I'm leaving. I think it is time to return to Konstantinoupolis.
dlga_bodo_choiceside15:close_window|It's time to get back on track. We have a mission underway.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp1:bodo_danishcamp2|Ragnar's sons are in a difficult situation. Besieged by the Saxons, they can easily be destroyed. We need to talk about this.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp2:bodo_danishcamp3|That would end the Danish invasion. Then the alliance would not be necessary, right?
dlga_bodo_danishcamp2:bodo_danishcamp3_2|Very well. I will listen to you.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp3:bodo_danishcamp3_2|Yes, in part, but Danish attacks and Vikings raids have roots deeper than this one siege. Let me explain.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp3_2:bodo_danishcamp4|If you remember, {playername}, my king wants to put a stop to all the Vikings raids and safeguard his kingdom. Even if the Saxons may now force the sons of Ragnar locked in Snotingaham to surrender or kill them, there would still be other sons of Ragnar and other Danish men whose greed knows no limits. Perhaps the Saxons will get a few years of peace, adopt again old enmities with the Mercians, and forget about their alliance with the Franks and Asturians. Even so, the Danish would remain in Northhymbre, and Vikings would still infest the seas. After a few years, another leader would raise an army and would start this raiding and piracy all over again.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp4:bodo_danishcamp5_1|I think what you really fear is that the Saxons can do it without Asturias' help.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp4:bodo_danishcamp6|I think you're exaggerating. Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel!
dlga_bodo_danishcamp4:bodo_danishcamp5_2|The Saxons could also very well attack Northhymbre and push out the Danish.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp4:bodo_danishcamp5_3|I think the Danish will defeat the Saxons in Snotingaham and then continue south.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp4:bodo_danishcamp6.1|What are you getting at, Bodo?
dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_1:bodo_danishcamp6|You are clever, and you know me better than I thought, {playername}. My mission over the years has been to create and strengthen this alliance. Certainly, it affects me if that breaks. However, I want you to understand the full seriousness of this situation. I do not think I would exaggerate to call this a historical moment.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_2:bodo_danishcamp6|You've been in Danmark with me. Do you really believe your words? The Danish will send more men next year, and the year after.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_3:bodo_danishcamp6|Yes, this could happen... The Danish are people who stand up to the difficulties they face.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp6:bodo_danishcamp7|I ask you not to give my diplomatic letter to the Saxons just yet. First, we must resolve this siege situation, avoiding a battle if possible, because that would hurt my mission.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp7:bodo_danishcamp8_1|Honestly, without reinforcements, the Danish cannot be interested in fighting right now.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp7:bodo_danishcamp8|I am not sure what to do with the letter. Calm down.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp7:bodo_danishcamp8_2|I'll give it to the Saxons when I see fit.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp7:bodo_danishcamp8_2.1|I'll give it to the Danish when I see fit.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp7:bodo_danishcamp8.1|Do not worry, Bodo. I will follow your advice.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp8_1:bodo_danishcamp8|Yes, I think so, too, but I wanted to talk to you now.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp8_2:bodo_danishcamp8|When the time comes, we'll talk about this issue. Not now.
dlga_bodo_danishcamp8:close_window|Well, I will not keep you any longer. Go see Bjorn Ironside Ragnarsson.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo1:companions_despuesduelo2|What happened was inevitable, my friend. It was him or you.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo2:companions_despuesduelo3|I understand the weight you carry on your shoulders, because I just experienced the same, after the massacre on the Woden Ric. I know no words can soothe you, but nobody expected Reginhard's betrayal. None of this is your fault.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3:companions_despuesduelo3_1|Thank you for your words, but do not worry. I'm fine.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3:companions_despuesduelo3_2|He deserved to die, and I'm not sorry.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3:companions_despuesduelo3_3|I killed him... I do not think I can ever forgive myself. I'm a terrible person.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_2:companions_despuesduelo3_1|It seems that we should not worry about you; you are a person without feelings.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_3:companions_despuesduelo3_4|This isn't necessary. I thought you were someone strong, with fortitude.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_4:companions_despuesduelo3_1|{s2}^^Ignore him. He does not know how hard it can be.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_1:companions_despuesduelo4|{s2}^^My God, my God, I... I'm guilty, and I don't understand why you've forgiven me. I let Sigurd lie to me. I thought it was an opportunity to be happy with a house and a wife. So I blamed you for the death of Thiaderd, but the fault is really mine. I started it all when I betrayed him to the jarl of Kennemer. Everything I do, I do wrong, and now Egil is dead because of me. I deserve to die. Please kill me.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_1:companions_despuesduelo5|{s2}^^I do not understand all the tears. Reginhard betrayed us. I trusted him. Everybody trusted him. I thought he was a good guy, and what he did was spy for Sigurd. He sold us out for a house and a woman. Reginhard was a piece of shit and deserved his death.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo3_1:companions_despuesduelo5.1|Reginhard betrayed us. I trusted him. Everybody trusted him, but all he did was spy for Sigurd.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5:companions_despuesduelo5_1|True, Reginhard was a piece of shit and deserved his death.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5:companions_despuesduelo5_2|No, he was a desperate man who had lost everything.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5:companions_despuesduelo5_3|The piece of shit is you, and I want you out of my party now. Go back to your father.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5_1:close_window|I'm glad you think the same. For a moment, I doubted your ability to lead us. We are traveling to a dangerous place, and we need you well. Now we can go on our way.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5_2:close_window|Desperate or not, he is a traitor. It is not worth spending another word on him. Let's go on our way.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo5_3:close_window|{s2}^^Oh, to be sure, you won't! This is the best news I could have heard! I leave your pathetic little company to return to a true leader, a king, my father, Horik. I now leave you, save for my hope that they kill you in Englaland.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo4:companions_despuesduelo4_1|You are guilty, Reginhard. I spare your life, but get out of my sight forever.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo4:companions_despuesduelo4_2|Yes, you are guilty, and I'll grant your wish to die. --You kill Reginhard--.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo4:companions_despuesduelo4_3|Sigurd deceived you. It's not your fault. I have forgiven you.--.
dlga_companions_despuesduelo4_1:close_window|Thank you for respecting my life. I understand your decision. If I may say so, you're a Soguligr, someone worth giving material to in the sagas. I hope someday in the future we can meet as friends, forget the bad and remember all the good from the time we spent together.^^{s2}
dlga_companions_despuesduelo4_3:close_window|{s2}^^Thank you for respecting my life and forgiving me. This will never happen again. I will be faithful to you above all men. My life belongs to you. If I may say so, you're a Soguligr, someone worth giving material to in the sagas.
dlga_companion_reginhard4x:companion_reginhard43|I am a trustworthy person, as you can see. Now, where are Thiaderd and his men hiding?
dlga_companion_reginhard41:companion_reginhard4|{s2}^^I betrayed them, so I'm here drowning my sorrows in mead. They were my brothers, my friend. I sold one of my brothers to the jarl of Kennemer for money! I sold Thiedold, our leader's brother. Now they want to kill me, and I am awaiting my death as a betrayer. Damn that day I fell for the jarl! Damned jarl!
dlga_companion_reginhard42:companion_reginhard4|Thiaderd? Don't you know him? I cannot describe in words what kind of a person he is. The men would die for him, it is true. The Danish are afraid because they know that someday Thiaderd will raise an army of Frisians and throw them out of our land.
dlga_companion_reginhard43:companion_reginhard5|Why? This is a secret I'm not willing to reveal.
dlga_companion_reginhard5:companion_reginhard51|Well, I wish to join them. I am a rebel!
dlga_companion_reginhard5:companion_reginhard52|I have a business proposal for Thiaderd. I'll pay 300 peningas to tell me where they are.
dlga_companion_reginhard5:companion_reginhard54|Your secrets shall be my secrets, even if I have to beat them out of you. (Power Strike)
dlga_companion_reginhard5:companion_reginhard53|If we talk to Thiaderd about this, surely they will understand and forgive you. (Persuasion)
dlga_companion_reginhard5:close_window|Well, I understand. Let me return later with more money -- 300 peningas, for example.
dlga_companion_reginhard51:companion_reginhard5|They do not accept anyone they do not know.
dlga_companion_reginhard52:companion_recruit_backstory_response2|Well, you seem to be a good person. I will take the money and join you, for I need to talk to him, too. Thiaderd is a man who values strength, so I suggest you bring your men.
dlga_companion_reginhard53:companion_recruit_backstory_response2|{s2}^^Thank you, {playername}. You are right. I need to talk to them. I will join you. Thiaderd's hideout is in the mountains in the east. Let me show you the way.
dlga_companion_reginhard54:companion_recruit_backstory_response2|{s2}^^You may be a joker, {playername}, but you are right. No secrets between us! Also, I need to talk to them and tell them that the jarl lied to me. I would rather die than continue here. I will join you. Thiaderd's hideout is in the mountains in the East. Let me show you the way.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_response2:companion_recruit_signup_quest|You're welcome! Let's get going.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_response2:companion_recruit_signup_quest.1|I guess we need a guide to the hideout, but then you might abandon us there.
dlga_companion_recruit_backstory_response:companion_egilrefuse|My relationship with King Horik is... delicate. Taking you with me could cause me problems.
dlga_companion_egilrefuse:companion_egilrefuse2|No, you misunderstand me. I serve King Horik, and when you talked to the king, I asked him to let me go with you. I need to make a name and gain reputation, and you need someone who can back you up with the king.
dlga_companion_egilrefuse2:companion_egilrefuse3|No, there's no place for you in my party.
dlga_companion_egilrefuse2:companion_recruit_signup|Well, can you fight?
dlga_companion_egilrefuse3:companion_egilrefuse4|I see you do not understand anything, and that makes everything more difficult. King Horik wants me to go with you, and he is the king in these lands. You must obey his wishes. While you're in Danmark, I'll be with you. If anything happens to me, you'll have trouble with King Horik.
dlga_companion_egilrefuse4:companion_recruit_signup|I see. He wants to have a spy among my men. I hope you know at least how to fight.
dlga_companion_recruit_signup_responsebrunhild:companion_recruit_payment|Your father wants you as far away as possible from the jarl, and I understand why. You are welcome.

dlga_companion_recruit_signup_confirm:close_window|Good! Give me a few moments to prepare and I'll be ready to move.
dlga_start:companion_rehire|My offer to rejoin you still stands, if you need me.
dlga_start:companion_rehire.1|It is good to see you alive, {s5}! {s6}, and I did not know whether you had been captured, or slain, or got away. I've been roaming around since then, looking for you. Shall I get my gear together and rejoin your company?
dlga_start:companion_prison_break_chains|I've come to break you out of here.

dlga_start:companion_rehire.3|So... Do you want me back yet?
dlga_minister_issues:minister_pretalk|There is a matter that needs your attention. The quarrel between {s11} and {s12} has escalated to the point where it has become unseemly. If you do intervene, you risk offending one of the lords. However, if you do nothing, you risk appearing weak. Such are the burdens of kingship, {reg59?my lady:sire}.
dlga_minister_issues:minister_talk|{s1} currently does not have a lord. You may wish to keep it this way, as lords will sometimes gravitate towards lieges who have land to offer, but for the time being, no one is collecting any of its rents.
dlga_minister_issues:minister_talk.1|At this point, there are no particularly urgent matters that need your attention. I should point out though, sire, that I am not very skilled in the ways of politics, and that I am anxious to return to private life. If you wish to issue any but the most basic directives, I suggest appointing a trusted companion in my stead. In the meantime, is there anything you wish done?
dlga_minister_issues:minister_talk.2|If I may offer you a world of advice, my {reg59?lady:lord}, it seems that your right to rule as an independent monarch is not sufficiently recognized, and this may bring us problems further down the road. It may be advisable to find another kingdom with whom you have shared interests and seek its recognition, to establish yourself as an equal with the Northlands's other kings.

dlga_minister_controltax3:minister_pretalk|Well, {reg59?my lady:sire}. From now on, your income taxes will be higher. I guarantee it.
dlga_minister_talk:minister_nocontroltax|Dismiss the staff working on tax loss mitigation.
dlga_minister_nocontroltax:minister_nocontroltax2|Dismissing this staff means tax revenues will be reduced. Are you sure?

dlga_minister_training_lair4_stop:minister_pretalk|Yes, my {reg59?lady:lord}?
dlga_minister_talk:minister_replace|I wish for you to retire as minister.
dlga_minister_talk:minister_replace.1|I wish you to rejoin my party.
dlga_minister_talk:minister_grant_fief|I wish you to grant one of my vassals a fief.
dlga_minister_talk:minister_grant_self_fief|I wish to make myself lord of {s4}.
dlga_minister_grant_self_fief:minister_pretalk|As you wish. You shall be lord of {s4}.
dlga_minister_talk:close_window|That is all for now.
dlga_minister_change_marshal:minister_change_marshal_choose|Who should be the new marshal?
dlga_minister_change_marshal_choose:minister_pretalk|I shall be the marshal
dlga_minister_change_marshal_choose:minister_pretalk.1|For a short while, we should have no marshal
dlga_minister_change_marshal_choose:minister_pretalk.3|Never mind
dlga_minister_diplomatic_kingdoms:minister_diplomatic_kingdoms_select|Whom do you wish to send this emissary to?
dlga_minister_diplomatic_kingdoms:minister_pretalk|Unfortunately, there is no one to send right now.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_kingdoms_select:minister_diplomatic_initiative_type|{s10} of the {s11}{s14}
dlga_minister_diplomatic_kingdoms_select:minister_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type:minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select|What do you wish to tell him?
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select:minister_diplomatic_emissary|That our two kingdoms should enter into truce.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select:minister_diplomatic_emissary.1|That I wish to put myself under his protection, as his vassal.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select:minister_diplomatic_emissary.2|That I wish to express my goodwill, as one monarch to another.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select:minister_declare_war|That I declare war upon him.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_initiative_type_select:close_window|Never mind.
dlga_minister_declare_war_confirm:minister_declare_war_confirm_yes|It is. I wish to make war on the {s12}.
dlga_minister_declare_war_confirm:minister_pretalk|Hmm. Perhaps not.
dlga_minister_declare_war_confirm_yes:minister_pretalk|As you command. We are now at war with the {s12}. May the heavens grant us victory.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_emissary:minister_emissary_select|Who shall be your emissary? You should choose the one who you trust, but who is also persuasive -- one who can negotiate without giving offense.
dlga_minister_emissary_select:minister_pretalk|Actually, I can't think of anyone.
dlga_minister_emissary_dispatch:minister_diplomatic_dispatch_confirm|Very well -- I shall send {s11} to the {s12} to {s14}.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_dispatch_confirm:minister_pretalk|Yes, do that.
dlga_minister_diplomatic_dispatch_confirm:minister_pretalk.1|Actually, hold off on that.
dlga_minister_replace:minister_replace_select|Very good. Who will you appoint in my stead?
dlga_minister_replace_select:minister_replace_confirm.1|My wife, {s4}.
dlga_minister_replace_select:minister_pretalk|Actually, hold off on that.
dlga_minister_replace_confirm:close_window|Very good. {s9} is your new minister. I will rejoin you shortly.
dlga_minister_replace_confirm:close_window.1|Very good. {s9} is your new minister. It has been an honor serving you.
dlga_minister_grant_fief:minister_grant_fief_select|Which of your fiefs do you wish to grant?{s12}
dlga_minister_grant_fief_select:minister_grant_fief_select_recipient|{s1}{s12}
dlga_minister_grant_fief_select:minister_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_minister_grant_fief_select_recipient:minister_grant_fief_select_recipient_choice|And whom will you choose to receive the fief?{s12}
dlga_minister_grant_fief_select_recipient_choice:minister_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_minister_grant_fief_complete:minister_pretalk|Very well - {s2} shall receive {s1}.
dlga_minister_indict:minister_indict_select|Grim news, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. Who do you believe is planning to betray you?
dlga_minister_indict_select:minister_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_minister_indict_confirm:minister_indict_confirm_answer|Think carefully on this, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. If you indict {s4} for treason unjustly, you may find others becoming nervous about serving you. On the other hand, if you truly believe that {reg4?she:he} is about to betray you, then perhaps it is best to move first, to secure control of {reg4?her:his} fortresses.
dlga_minister_indict_confirm_answer:minister_indict_conclude|I have thought long enough. Issue the indictment!
dlga_minister_indict_confirm_answer:minister_pretalk|Perhaps I should wait a little longer...
dlga_minister_indict_conclude:minister_pretalk|It has been sent, {reg59?my lady:my lord}.
dlga_center_captured_lord_advice:center_captured_lord_advice_2.1|{s12}I want to have {s1} for myself. (fiefs: {s0})
dlga_center_captured_lord_advice:center_captured_lord_advice_2.2|{s66}, you should have {s1} for yourself. (fiefs: {s0})
dlga_center_captured_lord_advice_2:minister_issues|As you wish, {reg59?my lady:sire}. {reg6?I:{reg7?You:{s11}}} will be the new {reg3?lady:lord} of {s1}.
dlga_center_captured_lord_advice_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_event_triggered:reginhard_calm1|My God, My God, he's dead. We killed Thiaderd.
dlga_event_triggered:reginhard_mission3_1|All right, {playername}, you've seen who the jarl is, and you know what he did. He only wants one thing -- the power -- and now he's using you to take it, as before he used me to reach my Thiaderd. For him, we are expendable tools, and the jarl of Kennemer will finish you off when you're either not useful or become dangerous, as he did with me.
dlga_event_triggered:reginhard_postdoccingaca|The jarl of Kennemer is an ambitious and dangerous man, I admire your fortitude to bite him and help save Doccinga despite the consequences this has had. You are a good person.^^Friese can be hostile land for us now, but I'm sure we'll find our destiny elsewhere.
dlga_event_triggered:egil_mensajerey|{reg59?My lady:Sir}, I have taken the liberty of sending a message to King Horik. I think it will be best if we have the support of some of the king's men, especially if you have any intention of killing Sven.^Well, I have not spent much time with you, but I think this could lead to a battle. I hope you will look well upon the initiative I took to invite the king's men to join us.
dlga_egil_mensajerey:egil_mensajerey1|Yes, I think it was a good idea, Egil. Thanks.
dlga_egil_mensajerey:egil_mensajerey2|No, I do not want you taking initiatives without asking me beforehand. Do you understand?
dlga_egil_mensajerey:egil_mensajerey3|Egil, ask me before making a decision. I have all the information to avoid mistakes.
dlga_egil_mensajerey1:close_window|{s2}^^Yes, I know. I always make good decisions. I can be a leader as good as you, or better. Maybe you should let me lead this army some time.
dlga_egil_mensajerey2:close_window|{s2}^^Yes, I understand. You like to control everything. Well, it's your decision.
dlga_egil_mensajerey3:close_window|{s2}^^You're right. Forgive me. Sometimes I'm too impulsive. I do not want to jeopardize this party by my imprudence. I will consult with you about everything.
dlga_reginhard_calm1:reginhard_calm2|He hated you and decided to fight. He left us no choice.
dlga_reginhard_calm2:reginhard_calm3|{s2}^^Yes, he did not listen to me. The jarl deceived me, told me he wanted to meet Thiaderd to negotiate peace, but Thiaderd was smarter than I and told me it was a trap.^I insisted, and his brother accompanied me in secret to the meeting with the jarl. So... the Godi of the jarl sacrificed Thiaderd's brother with the Blood Eagle.
dlga_reginhard_calm3:reginhard_calm4|What is the Blood Eagle?
dlga_reginhard_calm3:reginhard_calm42|He died like a warrior. It's time to get going. The jarl of Kennemer waits for us.
dlga_reginhard_calm3:reginhard_calm43|He died like a warrior, but you live like a rat. Go give the news to the jarl and leave my party.
dlga_reginhard_calm4:reginhard_calm3|The Danish call it Blodugr Orn. They cut away all of the ribs from the spine, and then they rip out the living lungs to flap like eagle's wings.^It is horrible! I hope you never see it.
dlga_reginhard_calm42:reginhard_calm_finalcon|{s4}^^Then you work for the jarl of Kennemer... In the end, he got what he wanted. Wyrd bid ful araed. One cannot fight fate. Thiaderd is dead, and you are my new family.
dlga_reginhard_calm43:reginhard_calm_finalcon|{s4}^^Yes, I am a rat, but you aren't any better. You used me to get him. Thiaderd was a good man. His only sin was to revolt against the Danish and fight for freedom.^God forgive me! I accept my fate! Talk to your jarl. Later, when you tell me, I will leave your party. Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel!
dlga_reginhard_calm_finalcon:reginhard_calm_finalcon2|Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel!
dlga_reginhard_calm_finalcon2:close_window|Fate goes ever as she shall!
dlga_reginhard_mission3_1:reginhard_mission3_2|I need him to find Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_reginhard_mission3_1:reginhard_mission3_3|I'm not interested in your opinion. See to preparing your things, for soon you'll leave.
dlga_reginhard_mission3_2:close_window|{s2}^^There are always other ways that do not require that we submit to the will of others, but we'll talk later. A rider approaches from Doccinga.
dlga_reginhard_mission3_3:close_window|{s2}^^I know, and my things are ready. You can kick me out anytime, but now you have other concerns. A rider approaches from Doccinga.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca:reginhard_postdoccingaca2|I did what I had to do. The jarl of Kennemer is a traitor, and I want him far from me.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca:reginhard_postdoccingaca3|If I had known I would lose all the jarl's confidence, I would have not helped Doccinga.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca:reginhard_postdoccingaca4|I do not want to talk right now, Reginhard. Excuse me.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca2:close_window|{s2}^^I told you he is a snake. Now you are free from him, and we should leave Friese soon, as I fear that he will look for revenge. I have heard that in the Kingdom of Mierce, over the sea, they need warriors. Wyrd bid ful araed.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca3:close_window|{s2}^^These are the words of a coward. I guess you're concerned and not thinking clearly. We'll talk later.
dlga_reginhard_postdoccingaca4:close_window|{s2}^^I understand. I'm by your side for what you need. Let us follow the path.
dlga_event_triggered:companion_quitting|Excuse me, {s5}. There is something I need to tell you.
dlga_companion_quitting_2:companion_quitting_response|To tell you the truth, {s21}
dlga_companion_quitting_response:companion_quitting_yes|Very well. You be off, then.
dlga_companion_quitting_response:companion_quitting_persuasion|Perhaps I can persuade you to change your mind.
dlga_companion_quitting_response:close_window|Thank you for listening to me.
dlga_companion_quitting_persuasion:close_window|Hm. When you put it like that, I suppose I can stay a while longer, see if things improve.
dlga_companion_quitting_persuasion:companion_quitting_response|I'm sorry, but I don't see your point. I am leaving whether you like it or not.
dlga_companion_quitting_response:companion_quitting_no|Now is not the time to discuss these issues.
dlga_companion_quitting_no:companion_quitting_no_confirm|Oh... Right... Do you mean that?
dlga_companion_quitting_no_confirm:companion_quitting_no_confirmed|Absolutely. You leave by my command or carried out on your shield. Which shall it be?
dlga_companion_quitting_no_confirm:companion_quitting_yes|No, actually I don't mean that. You are free to leave.
dlga_companion_quitting_yes:close_window|Then this is farewell. Perhaps I'll see you around, {playername}.
dlga_companion_quitting_no_confirmed:close_window|Hm. I suppose I'm staying, then.
dlga_companion_objection_response:close_window|Thanks, I appreciate your opinion.
dlga_companion_objection_response:close_window.1|I hope that it won't happen again.
dlga_companion_objection_response:close_window.2|Your objection is noted. Now fall back in line.

dlga_companion_personalitymatch_response:close_window|Very good.
dlga_companion_sisterly_advice:close_window|Thank you.
dlga_companion_sisterly_advice:close_window.1|I would prefer not to discuss such things.
