dlga_alfredthegreat1:alfredthegreat21|(You bow before him)
dlga_alfredthegreat1:alfredthegreat22|(Do not bow to him)
dlga_alfredthegreat21:alfredthegreat3|{s2}^^Regards, Danish envoy. What do your masters want now?
dlga_alfredthegreat22:alfredthegreat3|{s2}^^You are a proud {reg59?woman:man}, but you should know that an envoy should be courteous and take full advantage of diplomacy. What do your masters want now?
dlga_alfredthegreat3:alfredthegreat41|I have a letter for you from Bjorn, son of Ragnar.
dlga_alfredthegreat3:alfredthegreat42|I have a letter for you from Bjorn. They know they will lose and want a truce.
dlga_alfredthegreat3:alfredthegreat43|I have a letter for you from Bjorn. They are still willing to negotiate.
dlga_alfredthegreat41:alfredthegreat5|{s2}^^The Danish want to meet with us to negotiate the terms of their retreat. This is good news.
dlga_alfredthegreat42:alfredthegreat5|{s2}^^The Danish want to meet with us to negotiate the terms of their retreat. Thank you for the information about their weakness, but I think we are still interested in this deal.
dlga_alfredthegreat43:alfredthegreat5|{s2}^^While I admire your loyalty to your masters, do not treat me like a fool. We have received news of the disaster of the fleet sent from Danmark, and in the north, the Danish have many problems with Picts. However, we have our own problems right now, so this deal is good for us.
dlga_alfredthegreat5:alfredthegreat6|But my lord, that means they are defeated. We should attack and finish them.
dlga_alfredthegreat6:alfredthegreat7|Do not underestimate the enemy, Uthred. We will take this opportunity to make peace.
dlga_alfredthegreat7:alfredthegreat81|It's a good opportunity to avoid further bloodshed on either side.
dlga_alfredthegreat7:alfredthegreat82|You can annihilate us now, but next year the Danish will return with more men.
dlga_alfredthegreat7:alfredthegreat83|(Say nothing)
dlga_alfredthegreat81:alfredthegreat9|Sod is paet thu segst! I'm glad to see that we agree. The Danish have many men in Snotingaham yet, and the walls are high. Even if we could win this battle, I'm not sure we'd want to. In addition, the winter could see us still besieging this place, and we are far from home. As hard as it would be for them to starve inside, it would be harder for us to starve outside.
dlga_alfredthegreat82:alfredthegreat9|You are a soldier, not a leader. When the lives of others depend on you, you must weigh your options carefully. Not everything is resolved with blood. The Danish have many men in Snotingaham yet, and the walls are high. Even if we could win this battle, I'm not sure we'd want to. In addition, the winter could see us still besieging this place, and we are far from home. As hard as it would be for them to starve inside, it would be harder for us to starve outside.
dlga_alfredthegreat83:alfredthegreat9|The Danish have many men in Snotingaham yet, and the walls are high. Even if we could win this battle, I'm not sure we'd want to. In addition, the winter could see us still besieging this place, and we are far from home. As hard as it would be for them to starve inside, it would be harder for us to starve outside.
dlga_alfredthegreat9:close_window|Well, go back to your jarl, Bjorn Ragnarsson, and tell him that we are ready to negotiate their way out of Snotingaham and lasting peace. I give notice to my men not to attack you. Beod ge gesunde.
dlga_ragnarssons_1:ragnarssons_2_1|Jarl Bjorn Ragnarsson sends me.
dlga_ragnarssons_1:ragnarssons_2_2|I cannot talk about this.
dlga_ragnarssons_2_1:ragnarssons_3|{s2}^^It is nice to hear. Bjorn Jarnsida, Ironside, is a legend, possibly the Ragnarsson most loved by Odin. Just have out your news. What is happening?
dlga_ragnarssons_2_2:ragnarssons_3|{s2}^^I see. Just have out your news. What is happening?
dlga_ragnarssons_3:ragnarssons_3_1|The reinforcements that were coming from Danmark were destroyed for treason.
dlga_ragnarssons_3:ragnarssons_3_2|Jarl Bjorn wants to negotiate your surrender with the Saxons.
dlga_ragnarssons_3:ragnarssons_3_3|We have destroyed Saxon foragers!
dlga_ragnarssons_3:ragnarssons_3_4|I cannot talk about this.
dlga_ragnarssons_3_1:ragnarssons_4|{s2}^^But this is terrible! Our leaders told us that reinforcements were on the way and that we could then easily defeat the Saxons. By Thor! This changes everything!
dlga_ragnarssons_3_2:ragnarssons_4|I do not believe that! Bjorn would never deliver us to the Saxons. You're a liar!
dlga_ragnarssons_3_3:ragnarssons_4|Well, lovely news! I hope they pay dearly for this siege.
dlga_ragnarssons_3_4:ragnarssons_4|I see. I do not understand the secrecy. News always helps to improve morale, but I guess that you have orders about it, so I do not insist.
dlga_ragnarssons_5:ragnarssons_6|Enough talk here. Ulf, go back to the wall, and take your men with you. My brothers and I want to be alone with the newcomer.
dlga_ragnarssons_6:ragnarssons_7|Heill, messenger! My name is Halfdan, and these here are my brothers, Ivar and Hubbi. We rejoiced much when they told us that a messenger had passed through the Mercian lines. What news do you bring us?
dlga_ragnarssons_7:ragnarssons_8|Your bother, Bjorn, sent me to inform you that the reinforcements from Danmark are lost because Sven Bull Neck turned his men against the rest. There will be no reinforcements. Bjorn Ironside wants to convene a meeting with the Saxon and Mercian leaders to restore Snotingaham to them in exchange for them letting you back north with your armies.^^This seax, which belonged to Ragnar, certifies that I come from your brother and speak the truth.
dlga_ragnarssons_8:ragnarssons_9|Damn Bjorn! He's old and had his glory, but now begrudges us ours. The Saxons and the Angles are weak peoples. If it were me, I would attack their camps and put them to flight like the mice they are.
dlga_ragnarssons_9:ragnarssons_10|No more nonsense, Hubbi. We have but one man for every five Saxons. To fight outside these walls is only foolishness...^^You, messenger, listen. I am Ivar Ragnarsson. Men call me Inn Beinlaussi, the Boneless. If Sven Bull Neck has betrayed us and destroyed our reinforcements as you say, I will hunt him down to sacrifice to the gods with the Blood Eagle. But if you're lying, that will be your fate.
dlga_ragnarssons_10:ragnarssons_11|I apologize for my brothers, messenger. Being locked up here affects us all.
dlga_ragnarssons_11:ragnarssons_12_1|Do not worry, Jarl Halfdan. I understand this is a difficult situation.
dlga_ragnarssons_11:ragnarssons_12_2|Hubbi is right. You should go out and kill these dirty Saxons.
dlga_ragnarssons_11:ragnarssons_12_3|Ivar is right. It would be suicidal, and stupid to go out.
dlga_ragnarssons_11:ragnarssons_12_4|I'm just a messenger. Ivar's words are not to my liking at all. He should watch his tongue.
dlga_ragnarssons_14_1:ragnarssons_14_2|Puf. Another coward tries to win our sympathies. Anyway, Halfdan, do what you want.
dlga_ragnarssons_14_2:ragnarssons_13|I see that you are an intelligent person, messenger. Well, I guess it's time to send an answer to Bjorn. Tell him that our answer is 'yes.' We will join the meeting he will arrange with the Saxons. We will accept whatever terms they offer, anything to get out of this gods-forsaken hole.
dlga_ragnarssons_13_1:ragnarssons_13_2|I like you, messenger. Keep things clear and direct. We two are simple people.
dlga_ragnarssons_13_2:ragnarssons_13|Well, my brothers may have different views, but this is the answer you shall take to Bjorn. Tell him that our answer is 'yes.' We will join the meeting he will arrange with the Saxons. We will accept whatever terms they offer, anything to get out of this gods-forsaken hole.
dlga_ragnarssons_12_3:ragnarssons_15_1|{s2}^^That much is obvious, messenger, but I'm glad others see it as clearly as I do.
dlga_ragnarssons_15_1:ragnarssons_15_2|Be careful whose side you choose, messenger. Ivar is not accommodating even to his friends, whereas I kill all that oppose me.
dlga_ragnarssons_15_2:ragnarssons_13|Let's calm down here now! Messenger, my brothers may have different views, but this is the answer you shall take to Bjorn. Tell him that our answer is 'yes.' We will join the meeting he will arrange with the Saxons. We will accept whatever terms they offer, anything to get out of this gods-forsaken hole.
dlga_ragnarssons_16_1:ragnarssons_16_2|Ha! You are bold, messenger. Few people dare to speak so to Ivar. Just a tip: watch your back from now on. Ha ha!
dlga_ragnarssons_16_2:ragnarssons_13|Well, I guess it's time to send an answer to Bjorn. Tell him that our answer is 'yes.' We will join the meeting he arranges with the Saxons. We will accept whatever terms they offer, anything to get out of this gods-forsaken hole.
dlga_ragnarssons_13:ragnarssons_14|Very well, I will go back to Bjorn. Good luck.
dlga_ragnarssons_13:ragnarssons_15|Hm. I expected some kind of reward as a messenger.
dlga_ragnarssons_14:close_window|Good luck to you, too. I fear the return will not be as easy as the way in. The Angles of Mierce have seen you and have brought more men into the woods.
dlga_ragnarssons_15:close_window|Sure! Take this money and our wishes for good luck. I fear the return will not be as easy as the way in. The Angles of Mierce have seen you and have brought more men into the woods.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_muy_angry|{s11}, I saved Doccinga from Sven...
dlga_kennemerjarl_muy_angry:kennemerjarl_enemistad1|{s2}^^What mission did I give you? Shouldn't you be busy killing the king? And what have you done instead? Went to the aid of Doccinga, knowing that was not going to please me. You killed the very men who were to support me to take the crown after you had killed the king. You have betrayed me, your jarl. I swear upon my name, {s11}, you will pay dearly for it!
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_doccingacano|My Lord, Doccinga is going to be attacked by Sven Bull Neck! They need troops.
dlga_lord_talk:king_doccingacano|Doccinga is going to be attacked by Sven Bull Neck! They need help!
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm1|{s11}, I have returned from the Thiaderd mission.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_juicio_1|{s11}, I went back to the monastery and made things right, in your name.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_recruit_back1|{s11}, I have warriors that you asked me for.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_juicio_2|{s11}, I went back to the monastery and made things right, in your name.
dlga_lord_talk:kinghorik_quest_revenge1|I come from Friese. I need to talk to you about an important issue.
dlga_lord_talk:kinghorik_quest_thing1|King Horik, we were attacked at Ulf's farm.
dlga_lord_talk:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson1|King Horik, we met Atli Eiriksson.
dlga_lord_talk:kinghorik_ulf_testigo1|Ulf Thorirsson will not testify against me at the Assembly.
dlga_lord_talk:kinghorik_thething1|I've done everything. I think I'm ready to go to the Assembly.
dlga_lord_talk:aethelredbodoletter_1|I have an important letter for you.
dlga_lord_talk:halfdan_ad_1|I recently returned from Douar-an-Enez, and I received your urgent message.
dlga_lord_talk:halfdan_bt_1|I'm ready to join the army and attack the Saxons.
dlga_lord_talk:aelfred_ad_1|I recently returned from Douar-an-Enez, and I received your urgent message.
dlga_lord_talk:aelfred_bt_1|I'm ready to join the army and defend West Seaxe.
dlga_lord_talk:aelfredbodoletter_1|I have an important letter for you.
dlga_lord_talk:aelfredbodoletter_1_1|Yes, I've joined West Seaxe and returned, as you requested.
dlga_lord_talk:aethelred_wp_1|I conquered Din Bych and kept it in my power for twenty days, as agreed.
dlga_lord_talk:raethbarthbodoletter_1|I have an important letter for you.
dlga_lord_talk:raethbarthbodoletter_1_1|Yes, I've joined Northhymbre and returned, as you requested.
dlga_lord_talk:raethbarth_1|Jarl Raethbarth, I have important news for you.
dlga_lord_talk:raethbarthbjorn_1|Bjorn sent me back to you.
dlga_lord_talk:raethbarth_wp_1|I conquered Dun Taruo and kept it in my power for twenty days, as agreed.
dlga_lord_talk:jarlbjornnegtruce_1|The Saxons agree to meet with you to sign a truce.
dlga_lord_talk:jarlbjornneg_1|I talked to your siblings. They are willing to negotiate with the Saxons.
dlga_lord_talk:jarlbjorn_1|Jarl Bjorn, I'm what's left of the reinforcements sent by Danmark.
dlga_lord_talk:jarlbjornwf_1|Jarl Bjorn, the Saxon foragers were hunted and slain.
dlga_lord_talk:sigurd_quest_collect1|I have more than two hundred men here for you.
dlga_lord_talk:sigurd_quest_revenge1|I come from Friese. I am looking for Sven Bull Neck and my mother. Where are they?
dlga_lord_talk:sigurd_quest_revenge_horik0|Sigurd, it's time to talk. I can cause you a lot of damage if you do not listen to me.
dlga_lord_talk:sigurd_quest_revenge_horik|Sigurd, it's time to talk. I'm not an ordinary man; I have the support of King Horik.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge1:lord_pretalk|I do not care who you are or what your motives may be. Here in Danmark, you're a nobody, someone insignificant. You have neither credentials nor support. I say it only once: get out of my presence, rat.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge_horik0:sigurd_quest_revenge2|{s2}^^I see. I was hoping to avoid this, but I am tired of trying. Your mere presence offends my sight. Of course I know your name, {playername}; {s4} sent me news about you. The {reg59?lady:man} who would kill King Hrorik Hemmingsson and help us take Friese. I was happy to hear this, but then I got more news from the jarl yesterday. '{playername} is a traitor,' said the messenger. 'Be careful. {reg59?She:He} wants Sven Bull Neck and comes to talk to you. {reg59?She:He} has destroyed our plans in Friese, protected Doccinga and killed your Vikings. When you see {reg59?her:him}, kill {reg59?her:him}.' You are perhaps too bold to come here.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge_horik:sigurd_quest_revenge2|{s2}^^You are persistent! I was hoping to avoid this, but you name names... none other than that of King Horik.^^Of course I know your name, {playername}; {s4} sent me news about you. The {reg59?lady:man} who would kill King Hrorik Hemmingsson and help us take Friese. I was happy to hear this, but then I got more news from the jarl yesterday. '{playername} is a traitor,' said the messenger. 'Be careful. {reg59?She:He} wants Sven Bull Neck and comes to talk to you. {reg59?She:He} has destroyed our plans in Friese, protected Doccinga and killed your Vikings. When you see {reg59?her:him}, kill {reg59?her:him}.' You are perhaps too bold to come here.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge2:sigurd_quest_revenge31|My issues are not with you. I just want to find Sven Bull Neck and my mother.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge2:sigurd_quest_revenge32|I did not know the jarl's plans, so I defended Doccinga. I am loyal to your cause.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge31:sigurd_quest_revenge4|How stupid can you be? Sven Bull Neck is not just any man but my favorite, the man who stands in the prow of my own personal ship. You and I have nothing to talk about. Get out now, while my obligation to hear you in peace still weighs down my sword.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge32:sigurd_quest_revenge322|Your loyalty is too strange and too late. You're just the rat that thwarted my plans in Friese. {s4} had promised me six hundred men for the expedition to Englaland. Now I have exactly none.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge322:sigurd_quest_revenge31|Sorry, but I just want to know where Sven Bull Neck is.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge322:sigurd_quest_revenge33|I will recruit six hundred men for you.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge33:lord_pretalk|{s4}^^I do hope you're not teasing me and that it is not Loki speaking with your mouth. Frankly, I doubt you're able to recruit six hundred men, but if you recruit more than two hundred, come back here, and we will talk. Maybe you will get to chat with my friend, Sven.
dlga_sigurd_quest_collect1:sigurd_quest_collect1|{s2}^^One of my hersirs will take care of your men. Well, now they are MY men. I really did not expect someone like you to be able to do this, but here you are. I see that you will do anything to find Sven Bull Neck and your mother.
dlga_sigurd_quest_collect1:sigurd_quest_collect2|Yes. Sven Bull Neck attacked the ship on which I was traveling and kidnapped my mother. He had mistaken the person because of an object she was carrying. Sven Bull Neck has to pay for this, and I must rescue my mother.
dlga_sigurd_quest_collect2:sigurd_quest_revenge5|Your mother is the woman touched by the gods? Yes, Sven brought her to me, as I had asked. She was carrying an object, a letter from overseas that had to be intercepted. I talked to her, yes... She spoke about a man called Bodo, who had given her the letter on a ship called the Woden Ric. So do you know that name?
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge5:sigurd_quest_revenge51|No, I do not know who he is. Should I?
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge5:sigurd_quest_revenge52|Yes, he was also traveling in the Woden Ric.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge51:sigurd_quest_revenge6|Lying! Why do you lie? You say that you traveled on the same boat with your mother, and she says she met Bodo on the same boat. That man, Bodo, is very important to me, but Sven made the mistake of leaving him in his hideout. Now Bodo is gone because someone rescued him. I suspect I know who this someone is! Bodo is so important, that I would gladly trade him for Sven Bull Neck and you mother, who still lives only because Sven has taken a liking to her.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge52:sigurd_quest_revenge6|I know, your mother told me. That man, Bodo, is very important to me, but Sven made the mistake of leaving him in his hideout. Now Bodo is gone because someone rescued him. I suspect I know who this someone is! Bodo is so important, that I would gladly trade him for Sven Bull Neck and you mother, who still lives only because Sven has taken a liking to her.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge6:sigurd_quest_revenge61|You tell me where Sven Bull Neck and my mother are, and Bodo is yours.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge6:sigurd_quest_revenge62|I do not know where Bodo is.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge61:sigurd_quest_revenge71|Then we have a deal. I suppose Bodo is with you, so I will send two men to get him. You people keep quiet, for I have hundreds of warriors ready to attack on my order. If they take Bodo without complications, there will be no problems. I hope this will be how it goes, for a fight would not benefit any of us.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge71:sigurd_quest_revenge8|{s4}^^As for my part, there is a farm near Skyfa belonging to a man that is loyal to me. Go there, and Sven Bull Neck and your mother will meet you there. {playername}, remember that there are laws in Danmark, and if you cause any damage to Sven, you will have to pay...
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge62:sigurd_quest_revenge72|I'm too old to swallow your lies. Bodo means too much to me, and I know you know where he is. What I do not know is if you have hidden him among your people or elsewhere. So here is the deal:
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge72:sigurd_quest_revenge82|{s4}^^There is a farm near Skyfa belonging to a man that is loyal to me. Go there, and Sven Bull Neck and your mother will meet you there. If Bodo is there, my men will exchange Sven Bull Neck and your mother for him. If Bodo is not there, your mother will die before your eyes, and I will send Sven away to a place where you will never find him.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge8:close_window|Have your men follow me. I will tell Bodo farewell and give him to them.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge82:sigurd_quest_revenge82_1|I will go to that farm near Skyfa. Farewell.
dlga_sigurd_quest_revenge82_1:close_window|Well, I think we have nothing to talk about.
dlga_lord_talk:sigurd_story1|I would like to know more about you.
dlga_sigurd_story1:lord_pretalk|My name is Sigurdr ormr i auga, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' son of Ragnar Lodbrok and Aslaug, lord of Sjaelland, Skane, and other lands. To learn more, ask other men, as fame is measured by what others say about you.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_story1|I would like to know more about you.
dlga_kennemerjarl_story1:lord_pretalk|There is not much to tell you. I am the son of Harald the Younger and nephew of King Horik. My father with my uncle and Gotrik conquered this land.^One may say that my uncle Hrorik, the king, serves Lothar, king of the Franks, but really, my uncle does what he wants. The only thing is that we should not attack the land of the Franks. This I heed very little, and occasionally I organize some expedition for plunder or pay against the Franks.^^There is no need to talk over my head, and there are more pressing problems, such as the rebellion of some Frisians. My uncle would sooner kill them all, but he is still too weak.
dlga_lord_talk:kennemerjarl_1|{s11}, Thonkrik from Doccinga told me that you could help me.
dlga_king_doccingacano:lord_pretalk|I sent men there weeks ago. I will try to send more men soon, but I need to gain time. If you help Doccinga, I will be grateful.
dlga_kennemerjarl_doccingacano:lord_pretalk|That's neither my problem nor yours. It is the king's problem.
dlga_kennemerjarl_1:kennemerjarl_2|Thonkrik is a good man, and you are a good friend. What do you need?
dlga_kennemerjarl_1:kennemerjarl_2.1|Thonkrik is a good man, one of the few Frisians who have gained my esteem. If you come in his name, I will listen to you!
dlga_kennemerjarl_2:kennemerjarl_3|Do you know the Woden Ric? I traveled on this ship with my mother, but we were attacked by Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_kennemerjarl_3:kennemerjarl_4|Sven the Bloody attacks merchant ships near our shores, waiting for us to pay him every spring, but not this year! Do not worry. I'm gathering troops to hunt for him. Now, I have things to do...
dlga_kennemerjarl_4:kennemerjarl_51|I desire to join the hunt. My goal is to avenge the death of my mother.
dlga_kennemerjarl_51:kennemerjarl_6|{s1}^^I am not sure... How many men and ships do you have?
dlga_kennemerjarl_6:kennemerjarl_71|My arms are my men, and my courage is my ships. Together we will kill Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_kennemerjarl_6:kennemerjarl_72|In truth, I lost everything, but I do not lack the courage to achieve my revenge.
dlga_kennemerjarl_6:kennemerjarl_73|I am just one {reg59?woman:man}, sir, but I will give my eternal loyalty to you.
dlga_kennemerjarl_71:kennemerjarl_8|Yes, yes, I see... Well, look, I'm very busy. Why don't you come see me later? In ten years, for example?
dlga_kennemerjarl_72:kennemerjarl_8|Well, I understand your desire for revenge, but I cannot help you... I need men and ships ready to fight, not desperate, poorly equipped orphans-in-mourning.
dlga_kennemerjarl_73:kennemerjarl_8|Your loyalty does not interest me. Tell you what... You look like a good {reg59?woman:man}. Why not ask Thonkrik from Doccinga for {reg59?a good man to marry:a job digging the moat} and try to rebuild your life?
dlga_kennemerjarl_8:kennemerjarl_92|I thought that surely you would understand the demands of honor in cases such as mine.
dlga_kennemerjarl_92:kennemerjarl_93|Are you indeed so motivated by honor? Alright, I can do this: I'll give you a place among the men who will face Sven if you prove your worth.
dlga_kennemerjarl_93:kennemerjarl_94|{s1}^^There is a problem I need to solve. Not far from here is a monastery of Christians, Odin damn them, who have sent a request to intercede in a land property dispute.^Honestly, I care very little about their problems, but the king wants Christian priests happy, to avoid Frisian rebellions.
dlga_kennemerjarl_94:kennemerjarl_95|Anyway, my men are busy, protecting important things like the people on the coast, so you go in my name and make the arrangement that best suits my interests.^The most important thing is to keep the monks quiet. I do not want them stirring up the people versus rightful Danish dominion.
dlga_kennemerjarl_95:kennemerjarl_10|Thank you, my lord. I will not disappoint you.
dlga_kennemerjarl_95:kennemerjarl_10.1|Is there a reward?
dlga_kennemerjarl_95:kennemerjarl_10.2|It will be done quickly. Farewell.
dlga_kennemerjarl_10:lord_pretalk|Are you still here, {reg59?woman:man}? You have a mission! Complete it, and your revenge on Sven will be that much closer. Now, get out!
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_1:kennemerjarl_juicio_3|Yes, I know. The monastery sent a messenger with the news. They are happy with your decision and promise to speak well of me to the people. Take this reward, and thank you!
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_2:kennemerjarl_juicio_4|Yes, I know. The monastery sent a messenger with the news. They are very unhappy and blame me for sending you. They say that everyone will know that I am unjust! Damn you!
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_3:kennemerjarl_juicio_5|What about our deal? May I join the hunt now?
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_4:kennemerjarl_juicio_41|No one can think that you are unfair when justice has been done.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_41:kennemerjarl_juicio_42|Oho! A {reg59?lady:gentleman} with values. Justice is all very nice, but this world isn't right and won't recognize it. That land wasn't important, but good relations with monastery are. Do not upset me again.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_42:kennemerjarl_juicio_5|What about our deal? May I join the hunt now?
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_5:kennemerjarl_juicio_6_old|Err, not just yet. Now I need you to do something else to prove your worth, this time as a warrior. There is a rebellious Frisian, called Thiaderd, who has been causing me a headache, and I do not have the time right now to take care of him.^^I'll give you permission to recruit on my land. Also, I will send a letter to the king so he may likewise allow you to recruit men in Friese.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_6_old:kennemerjarl_juicio_6_final|This is what I want you to do. Take this silver and recruit fifteen men. The cheapest are village idlers or refugees at the monastery. Sometimes spare men are available at farmsteads. Once you have men, come back here, and I will tell you how to find Thiaderd.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_6_final:lord_pretalk|--He scratches his nose--^^Well, good luck. Now, you have things to do.
dlga_kennemerjarl_recruit_back1:kennemerjarl_juicio_6_new|Well, you again have proven useful. As I mentioned before, there is a rebellious Frisian called Thiaderd who has been a headache for me. I do not have the time right now to take care of him. You'll do it for me!^^Oh, and here is some money to equip yourself better. I can't allow people to think that I employ such shabby help.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_6_new:kennemerjarl_juicio_61|I like the sound of this.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_6_new:kennemerjarl_juicio_61.1|I do not like what you offer.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_61:kennemerjarl_juicio_7|To tell you the truth, I don't care if you like it or not. You offered your services, and I offered you a job.^Do this for me, and your revenge upon Sven will be closer. Take this money and travel to Dorestad. There is a man there who knows all about this. His name is Reginhard, and I hear that he cowers in the mead hall between the prostitutes and the other drunks.^He would not talk to my men, but maybe you can find out where the rebel is hiding and kill him. Thiaderd must die.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_7:kennemerjarl_juicio_71|It shall be done. Farewell.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_7:kennemerjarl_juicio_71.1|I do not like this mission, but I keep my part of the deal. Farewell.
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_71:kennemerjarl_juicio_71_fin|Are you still here? You have a mission! I would see you on it, {reg59?madame:sir}!
dlga_kennemerjarl_juicio_71_fin:lord_pretalk|--He scratches his nose--
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm1:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm2|I am very happy. The news of Thiaderd's death came before you.^^I must say that I doubted your abilities, but certainly you're smarter than I thought. Moreover, you have proven to be someone trustworthy and loyal. Take this money as compensation for your efforts. It is a pity that you didn't kill Reginhard, too, but I guess you need a pet in your party. However, I do not want him around me, so keep that rat away when you come to see me.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm2:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm3|{s2}^^Well, well... I must confess something. I've been waiting for someone like you for a long time. You are a person that can find solutions and accomplish what is ordered. That is very important. Sometimes I feel like I'm surrounded by dolts.^^Now, there is a delicate subject I want to talk to you about -- one that can make you rich.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm3:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm41|Wealth, I do not care about. I just want Sven.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm3:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm42|I like what I hear! Please continue...
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm41:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm42|That much I know! But the two are related. Listen to the whole story and see for yourself.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm42:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm5|To be honest, I have the men to hunt Sven, who's near Doccinga. I'm hoping that you'll join us in his capture...^However, we have a problem: the king. The king, my uncle, does not want to attack Sven Bull Neck. He fears his master, Jarl Sigurd, called 'Snake in the Eye,' one of the oldest sons of Ragnar, called Lodbrok in Norse -- Hairy Breeches.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm5:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm52|These names say nothing to me. Who are Sigurd and his father, Ragnar? Should I fear them?
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm5:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm51|You have kept all this information hidden until now?
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm5:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm6|I am listening. Please continue.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm51:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm6|You must understand, it is not so easy. It is a sensitive issue, and you were a stranger that the sea had just brought to us. Now it's different. I think you're someone I can trust.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm52:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm5|Ragnar Sigurdsson was a man who became a legend, a king who ruled part of Danmark and whose ships caused fear wherever they were spotted. Ragnar died years ago, but he had many sons, many of whom are invading Englaland right now.^Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' Ragnarsson is one of his oldest sons, by the princess Aslaug. He is old now, but still a man to be feared and a respected Danish jarl.^Yes, you should fear him if you do not have the support of a powerful king or jarl. I can be that man if you help me.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm6:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm7|Here is the deal: kill my uncle {s10}, and I will take the kingdom for myself. Then I'll have the necessary resources and men to hunt Sven Bull Neck and attack his master, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye.' Additionally, I will give you the title of 'jarl' in this land, plus the men and money to be powerful.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm7:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm71|You want to become king, using me? No, I don't trust you! I am not your assassin!
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm7:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm71.1|We had a deal. Thiaderd is dead. Your part is to give me what I need to hunt Sven.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm7:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm9|I accept your proposal. I will kill your king.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm71:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm8|No more deals, lies or missions! Just this one condition, and everything will be yours. What is your answer?
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm8:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm9|I accept. I will kill {s10}.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm8:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm91|No, you will have to find another assassin. I will hunt Sven Bull Neck on my own.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm9:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm9a|I was sure I would hear that answer, for I have not misled you. {s10} is not just any man. Everyone fears him, not the least because he is always accompanied by an escort of faithful warriors. His death should be public, in the sight of those who fear him. The ideal time would be during a feast. I do not care if you use poison or a dagger, but two things are very important...
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm9a:kennemerjarl_salida|Firstly, if you are caught, do not mention my name. You must appear to be acting alone. Even beforehand, we should not be seen together. If we happen to meet, we must pretend not to know each other.^^Secondly and more importantly, do not get caught!^^Once you are done, do not come here. Hide in the mountains, where Thiaderd's camp was, and I will send for you when things are calm and I am the king. Now go and make me king.
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm91:kennemerjarl_thiaderdm91a|You're dumber than I thought. It's quite beyond you, with your resources, to find Sven. Even if you do, he will kill you easily. If you decide to change your mind, remember this: {s10} must die in public, in the sight of those who fear him, ideally at a feast. I do not care if you use poison or a dagger, but two things are very important...
dlga_kennemerjarl_thiaderdm91a:kennemerjarl_salida|Firstly, if you are caught, do not mention my name. You must appear to be acting alone. Even beforehand, we should not be seen together. If we happen to meet, we must pretend not to know each other.^^Secondly and more importantly, do not get caught!^^Once you are done, do not come here. Hide in the mountains, where Thiaderd's camp was, and I will send for you when things are calm and I am the king. If you are smart, you'll do it and leave Friese quickly. Otherwise, you will have to face the consequences.
dlga_kennemerjarl_salida:lord_pretalk|Very well.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad1:kennemerjarl_enemistad2|Beware, Jarl! Those were Sven's men. You are the traitor, and I am your enemy now.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad1:kennemerjarl_enemistad4|I have served you well. In return, you lied to me about Sven, and now you threaten me.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad2:kennemerjarl_enemistad21|Yes, I'm sure of that. To honor services provided, I will give you a few hours to pack your things and leave. Then you will have assassins after you, for I will put a price on your head. You'll have to sleep with one eye open and a knife under your pillow.^If you do not leave Friese or we meet in person, I will kill you with my bare hands.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad4:kennemerjarl_enemistad21|Yes. These men were going to take and fortify the village, then wait for more troops from Danmark. Now that's impossible. You've ended my dreams. Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' will think I'm a traitor and will want my head because of you. Go away! You're no longer welcome here. If we meet again, I do not know if I will be able to control myself and not kill you.^^I recommend you leave Friese.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad21:kennemerjarl_enemistad22|Someday, we will meet again, and I'll kill you.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad21:kennemerjarl_enemistad22_f|I must leave now.
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad22:lord_pretalk|I'm looking forward to that day, scum!
dlga_kennemerjarl_enemistad22_f:lord_pretalk|Very well.
dlga_frisaking_1:frisaking_2|Glad to hear it! I see that my reputation as host is thriving...
dlga_frisaking_2:frisaking_3|I would like to join one of these special feasts and see it for myself.
dlga_frisaking_2:frisaking_4|I'm not really here to talk about your feasts. The jarl of Kennemer wants you dead.
dlga_frisaking_3:frisaking_41|You don`t look like somebody of sufficient quality for that.
dlga_frisaking_41:frisaking_5|Then what could I do in order to participate in them? They are so famous!
dlga_frisaking_5:lord_pretalk|Well, you look like a resolute {reg59?woman:man}. Maybe you can help me with problems in Doccinga. Go and investigate what is happening for me. When you come back, we'll talk about feasts.
dlga_frisaking_5:lord_pretalk.1|Well, you look like a resolute {reg59?woman:man}. Maybe you can help me with Doccinga. Go and help defend the village. When you come back, we'll talk about feasts.
dlga_frisaking_4:lord_pretalk|You accuse one of my dearest jarls of treason? I see. Someone is trying to create problems with my jarls and sends me a stranger with rumors. Perhaps they think that I'm an idiot and that I will give credibility to these hoaxes? Listen carefully, rat. Your word is not worth anything. Only evidence is important. Now, get the hell out, and give thanks that I do not separate your head from your neck.
dlga_jarldenunciado1:jarldenunciado12|Heill, {playername}! I heard about your help to Doccinga. Thank you for your support, vinr. The attack was unexpected, and I did not have my men ready. Please, accept these gifts for your courage.
dlga_jarldenunciado12:jarldenunciado11|Thank you, my Lord, and I hate to disturb you, but {s11} is a traitor.
dlga_jarldenunciado12:jarldenunciado4|Your gifts are welcome. Now I must go.
dlga_jarldenunciado12:jarldenunciado4.1|I'm not your vassal; I am your equal. I do not want those gifts. Farewell.
dlga_jarldenunciado11:jarldenunciado13|You remember that {s11} is my nephew? We talked about it before.
dlga_jarldenunciado13:jarldenunciado14|I know, so I am sorry to say that your nephew has conspired with Sven Bull Neck against you.
dlga_jarldenunciado13:jarldenunciado4|I understand, but prefer not to continue. I have no way to prove it. Farewell.
dlga_jarldenunciado14:jarldenunciado15|Sven Bull Neck is the dog of Jarl Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' one of the oldest sons of Ragnar Lodbrok. You're talking about very feared and dangerous people, {playername}. My nephew is reckless and daring, and our kingdom is at a difficult moment with Frisian revolts. He thinks I'm weak for not exterminating the Frisians and attacking the Franks who support them. In fact, we aren't as strong now as in the past. However, I don't think he is a traitor. Do you have evidence?
dlga_jarldenunciado15:jarldenunciado16|No, but he asked me to kill you.
dlga_jarldenunciado16:lord_pretalk|It's your word against his. Nothing leads me to believe you. Go in peace now, and do not return to my court with snares.
dlga_jarldenunciado4:lord_pretalk|Well...
dlga_jarldenunciado1extra:lord_pretalk|I know what you're going to tell me. My nephew warned me about your tricks to discredit him, {playername}. You are not welcome in my house, and I don't want to hear your lies.
dlga_jarldenunciado2extra:lord_pretalk|I know what you're going to tell me. My nephew warned me about your tricks to discredit him, {playername}. You are hated in my house, and I don't want to hear your lies. My nephew promised me to give you a few days to leave Friese. Then you will be declared an enemy of Friese.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge1:kinghorik_quest_revenge2|You have my interest. I am listening to you.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge2:kinghorik_quest_revenge21|I need to talk about Sigurd.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge2:kinghorik_quest_revenge22|Forgive me. I do not want to distract you from your tasks. We'll talk another day.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge22:lord_pretalk|I do not like others to waste my time.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge21:kinghorik_quest_revengegrove|This is a delicate subject about which I do not like to talk, but I've heard about you. Your renown precedes you, so I will listen. Follow me to a nearby grove with your nearest companions, and we will talk...
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge21:kinghorik_quest_revengegrove.1|This is a delicate subject about which I do not like to talk, but I've heard about you. Your reputation precedes you, so I will listen. Follow me to a nearby grove with your nearest companions, and we will talk...
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge21:lord_pretalk|Lower your voice, this is not the place. Wait till I leave this site with my army and ask me on the road.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge21:kinghorik_quest_revenge21_1|Sigurd Ragnarsson is one of my jarls, and we have nothing to talk about. You understand?
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revenge21_1:lord_pretalk|Are we finished, or do you need something else?
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revengegrove:close_window|Thank you, King Horik.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_revengegrove:close_window.1|Thanks, King Horik.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_thing1:close_window|Lower your voice. Come. Follow me. Let us talk in private.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_thing1:lord_pretalk|Lower your voice, this is not the place. Wait till I leave this site with my army and ask me on the road.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson1:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson2|That is good news. Where was he?
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson2:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson3|We found Atli Eiriksson and his men in a cave in Northvegr, near Hordaland. Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' sent him there to hide and protect Bodo's letter. Now Atli Eiriksson and his men are dead, but they burned the letter during the fighting. You no longer have to fear that Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' can use it against you at the Assembly.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson3:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson4|Atli is dead? He was Sigurd Ragnarsson's second man, after Sven Bull Neck. Wherever you go, you leave just corpses. I wanted Sigurd quiet, with no weapons to use against me, nor motives for revenge. I hope you killed everybody in that cave, or he may present as a witness against you for killing Atli. I will not be able to protect you from banishment in that case.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson4:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson52|Well, what's done is done. We must keep looking forward.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson4:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson53|As I fall, so will you. So be sure to protect me.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson52:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson6|I see. Well, it is your neck.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson53:kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson6|It is not advisable to push away the hand that protects you. I am the only person preventing you from getting killed. If you ever threaten me, I'll be the one killing you, with my bare hands.
dlga_kinghorik_quest_atlieiriksson6:lord_pretalk|Well, the important thing is that the letter has been destroyed. Finish what you have to do before the Assembly.
dlga_kinghorik_ulf_testigo1:kinghorik_ulf_testigo2|Glad to hear that. Did you improve your relations with the jarls of my kingdom?^^--Current good relations:^{s2}--
dlga_kinghorik_ulf_testigo2:kinghorik_ulf_testigo31|I did what I could.
dlga_kinghorik_ulf_testigo2:kinghorik_ulf_testigo32|No. I need more time. I want to go and improve my relations with the jarls.
dlga_kinghorik_ulf_testigo32:lord_pretalk|Well, do what you must and return when ready. But do not take too long, as the Assembly will start shortly.
dlga_kinghorik_ulf_testigo31:lord_pretalk|Well, frankly I'm surprised at how effective you've been. When you're ready for the Assembly, let me know.
dlga_kinghorik_thething1:kinghorik_thething2|I see. In that case, now everything is in the hands of the gods. The Assembly lasts several days. I recommend you take advantage of these days to gain popularity and reputation with the people of this country.
dlga_kinghorik_thething2:lord_pretalk|I'll send a messenger as soon as your presence is required. Be ready.
dlga_jarlbjornnegtruce_1:jarlbjornnegtruce_2|That is good news! We will negotiate a withdrawal with them now, but in the future, we will return and make West Seaxe pay dearly for their weakness. You've done a great service to me and my brothers. Allow me to reward you with friendship and silver.
dlga_jarlbjornnegtruce_2:jarlbjornnegtruce_3|For my part, I do not need anything else. You should return to Rathbarth.
dlga_jarlbjornnegtruce_3:lord_pretalk|Very well.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_1:jarlbjornneg_2|I can imagine that Halfdan imposed his opinion. I had hoped to be mindful of his reasons and I'm glad I did so.^^Now it is necessary to contact the Saxons. I have prepared a letter for them where we offer a truce to cover our retreat to Northhymbre and to summon them to a meeting outside Snotingaham's gate to discuss the details.^^My informants tell me that one of the Saxon chieftains, Aelfred, patrols around Snotingaham every day. Meet with him and give him my letter.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_2:jarlbjornneg_31|Who is Aelfred?
dlga_jarlbjornneg_2:jarlbjornneg_32|Why not take the letter to the Mercians? We are in their kingdom.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_2:jarlbjornneg_33|The king of West Seaxe is Aethelred. Why not give the letter to him?
dlga_jarlbjornneg_31:jarlbjornneg_4|Aelfred, or I should say Aetheling Aelfred Aethelwulfing, is the brother of West Seaxe's king. I have heard that he is a just man and easier to deal with than his brother. Moreover, his opinion carries great weight among the Saxon jarls.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_32:jarlbjornneg_4|Do not kid yourself. The Saxons are the real power here. The Angles of Mierce are very weak. Without the support of West Seaxe, Mierce would be under our feet by now. It will be the Saxons who make the decision to accept the ceasefire or not, and in this case, Aelfred is our man. He is more reasonable than his brother.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_33:jarlbjornneg_4|Aethelred is a warrior, and we need a diplomat. Anyway, in such matters he seeks advice from his brother, Aelfred.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_4:jarlbjornneg_51|Well, I'll be back soon.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_4:jarlbjornneg_52|Humph. I expected a reward for my services.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_51:lord_pretalk|Remember this: when you get to Snotingaham, introduce yourself as a peace emissary from the sons of Ragnar and ask for audience with Aelfred. Tell him we're willing to an honorable way out of this siege without bloodshed, and we are willing to meet at the gates of Snotingaham to address this issue.^^Be firm! Tell him only that we are willing to negotiate, or we will bring more men from the north, and they will pay dearly in lives of Saxons and Mercians. Good luck.
dlga_jarlbjornneg_52:jarlbjornneg_51|Yes, I quite forgot I was talking to a merchant. I usually reward my faithful with silver as a symbol of our bond, but I understand that you are not that kind of person. Well, here's your prize, and there will be more if you complete your task. Now...
dlga_jarlbjorn_1:jarlbjorn_2|My brother, Sigurd, promised us a thousand men. Where are they?
dlga_jarlbjorn_2:jarlbjorn_3|They are dead or lost. Sigurd Ragnarsson, under orders of the Assembly, sent a fleet led by Sven Bull Neck and Harald Haraldsson, but Sven pitted his followers against the followers of Harald, and there was a massacre. I fear that Harald's followers are all dead but me, and Sven's are severely depleted.
dlga_jarlbjorn_3:jarlbjorn_4|{s2}^^Sven was always difficult to handle, so I never understood Sigurd's predilection for him. Now this puts us in a difficult situation here in Snotingaham. If I ever meet Sven again, I will kill him with my bare hands. We are at a disadvantage compared to the men of West Seaxe and Mierce. So far, we have managed to keep them at bay thanks to our reputation, but every day they become more daring and eventually will storm Snotingaham. Then all will be lost. We have to restore their fear in order to make a deal that will let our people escape Snotingaham. Without reinforcements, retreat is the only option.
dlga_jarlbjorn_4:jarlbjorn_5_1|I thought Englaland would be an easy target for a Viking army.
dlga_jarlbjorn_5_1:jarlbjorn_5_3|West Seaxe and Mierce are two powerful kingdoms, which makes nothing easy. We need many more men before facing them, especially now that both kings have united against us. Luckily, these alliances are fleeting. If we retreat now and focus our interest on weaker kingdoms, there will be another opportunity to go against Mierce or even West Seaxe. For now, there's always Pictland, poor, stony prospect though it be!
dlga_jarlbjorn_6:jarlbjorn_7|This land is rich, and its people fear us. That fear is what now keeps them from attacking us, but they are losing it. We must regain the initiative.^^West Seaxe, especially, has become very bold, and Saxon foragers even get close to our lines. There is a group there now, around Snotingaham. I want you to go and punish them. This will send a clear message to our enemies and undermine their confidence.
dlga_jarlbjorn_7:jarlbjorn_9|I see. Very well, I'll take care of them.
dlga_jarlbjorn_7:jarlbjorn_8|Why should I do this?
dlga_jarlbjorn_8:jarlbjorn_9|Because you have come to reinforce this army. I am the chief here, and I give you an order.
dlga_jarlbjorn_9:jarlbjorn_9_pre|When you're done with these men, come back here.
dlga_jarlbjorn_9_pre:lord_pretalk|I always reward warriors who do their job well.
dlga_jarlbjornwf_1:jarlbjornwf_2|I have heard about your deeds. You have given those foragers the punishment they deserved. You are really as good as I had guessed. Here is your reward: 900 peningas.
dlga_jarlbjornwf_2:jarlbjornwf_3|I think you're someone who knows how to do things. It's time to take another step. I want you to pass through the enemy lines and take a message to my brothers. Tell them about the betrayal of Sven and that we will not have reinforcements from Danmark. Tell them I'm going to arrange a meeting with the Saxons to negotiate our retreat from Snotingaham.
dlga_jarlbjornwf_3:jarlbjornwf_4|I go now.
dlga_jarlbjornwf_3:jarlbjornwf_4_1|Why would your brothers believe me and accept surrender?
dlga_jarlbjornwf_4_1:jarlbjornwf_4|Because I'll give you an object that they will recognize and give validity to you as my envoy to them. I am Bjorn, of the sons of Ragnar, and my brothers listen to what I say. Do not worry. They will listen to and respect you.
dlga_jarlbjornwf_4:close_window|Wait. I'm going to give you a seax that belonged to our father, Ragnar. This is also my gift to you for the service you're providing to us. My brothers will recognize the weapon and listen to your words. The Mercians are more careless in their vigilance. Try to approach at night around their flank. Good luck.
dlga_raethbarth_1:raethbarth_2|Judging by your face, I'm afraid the news is not good, but please speak.
dlga_raethbarth_2:raethbarth_3|I have bad news about the Vikings sent from Danmark in support of the Ragnarssons' invasion of Mercia. The fleet initially consisted of 30 boats and about 800 men, but Sven Bull Neck pitted his followers against the followers of Harald Haraldsson, and there was a massacre. I fear that Sven will lie to you, but you will see that he will bring considerably less men, many of them wounded from the fight.
dlga_raethbarth_3:raethbarth_4|{s2}^^Sven Bull Neck is the man that stands in the prow of my brother Sigurd's langskip. Your accusations are serious. However, we have not heard anything about the fleet or Sven so far. These men sent from Danmark are crucial to win the battle against the Saxons in Snotingaham. Without them, we are in a difficult situation.
dlga_raethbarth_4:raethbarth_5|For now, I cannot do anything else. I need you and your men to come to Bjorn near Snotingaham. Any reinforcement is better than none. Bjorn is my brother and has led men to support my other brothers besieged in Mierce: Halfdan, Ivarr and Hubbi. You will find him camped north of the town. All the support you can lend will be welcome. Meanwhile, I promise you that I will investigate this matter of the fleet and Sven's treason. If he is guilty, he will pay with his life.
dlga_raethbarth_5:raethbarth_6_1|No, you mustn't kill him. Sven is mine.
dlga_raethbarth_5:raethbarth_6_2|I see. Kill him.
dlga_raethbarth_5:raethbarth_6_3|There is a woman with Sven Bull Neck. I do not want anything to happen to her.
dlga_raethbarth_6_1:lord_pretalk|So, I see this is personal for you. If Sven is guilty, I will give him to you so you can deal with him.
dlga_raethbarth_6_2:lord_pretalk|That's exactly what will happen if he is guilty. I do not tolerate traitors.
dlga_raethbarth_6_3:lord_pretalk|So be it. If Sven is guilty, I'll take care of him and keep the woman safe until you return.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_1:raethbarthbodoletter_2|This is the letter that your brother Sigurd tried so earnestly to get. I will give it to you, transcribed and decoded, so you can understand the seriousness of the danger you're facing.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_2:raethbarthbodoletter_3|{s2}^^You are a great friend of the Danish, and especially the sons of Ragnar. I must say that I knew of the existence of the alliance that unites West Seaxe, Asturias and Frankia, but I hadn't known that they had come so far. Asturias is going to send ships and men, and not any men but veterans of the wars with the Moors.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_3:raethbarthbodoletter_4|{s3}^^Frankia may have also mobilized men and ships. If West Seaxe receives these men, it will change the balance of power across the north. Sorry, I'm thinking out loud. Take this reward for serving me so well.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_4:raethbarthbodoletter_51|Thank you. Could I do anything else to help?
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_4:raethbarthbodoletter_52|I could go to Friese and learn about the Franks' movements.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_4:raethbarthbodoletter_53|I could destroy the warriors from Asturias.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_4:raethbarthbodoletter_54|I have to take care of Sven. Is there any news of him?
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_51:raethbarthbodoletter_6|{s2}^^You are helping us a lot already. I really do not know how to thank you. You know that I sent men to discover the whereabouts of Sven Bull Neck. He will pay for what he did... Now I ask you something else...
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_52:raethbarthbodoletter_6|I'm not sure we can get information in Friese. It might be best to go Frankia directly... but this is something we cannot decide right now, you and me.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_53:raethbarthbodoletter_6|{s2}^^My brother Bjorn could tell you some stories about the warriors of Asturias, and even in Al-Andalus, where he lost most of his ships. We are talking about 600 men versed in war. You should give up this matter.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_54:raethbarthbodoletter_6|I have sent men to look for Sven Bull Neck in every corner of Englaland. I can tell you that he survived his battle with Harald Haraldsson, but has not been seen since. Some say he's traveling south with his men.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_6:raethbarthbodoletter_91|I will send a messenger to my brother, Jarl Halfdan Ragnarsson, for a meeting. We will discuss this letter and make a decision soon. Meanwhile, go yourself to talk to the him and offer him your allegiance. You are a person of great ability. You must enter the service of Northhymbre for us to reward you fully as you deserve.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_91:lord_pretalk|Halfdan is a clever man who will appreciate your worth.^^After that, return to me, for I already have a task for you..
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_1_1:raethbarthbodoletter_7|Ah, {playername}. I am honored that you have joined us. Now, as I mentioned, I already have something to ask of you.^^ I need you go north, to the territory of the Kingdom of Alban. The Picts never cease to cause us problems, and we need someone to punish them.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_7:raethbarthbodoletter_81|What is it you need done?
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_7:raethbarthbodoletter_82|I'm sorry. My priority is Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_81:raethbarthbodoletter_9|I want to secure our rear. We cannot take any action against the south, Asturians or Franks if the Picts can raise an army and attack Jorvik.^Recruit an army and conquer Dun Taruo. Keep it in your power for at least twenty days, so that Alban will think that we plan to attack the heart of their kingdom. If you want to keep it, it's yours, but we need twenty days to secure a deal with Alban.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_82:raethbarthbodoletter_81|I promised you Sven Bull Neck, so he will be yours, but I need time to find him. I will have more resources and time if you can help me in this matter.
dlga_raethbarthbodoletter_9:close_window|Good luck. When you've accomplished your mission, I'm sure I can give you an answer on Sven Bull Neck and about what I decide with my brothers.
dlga_raethbarthbjorn_1:close_window|Glad to hear that everything went well. Come back in a few days and talk.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_1:raethbarth_wp_2|I am pleased to hear that. The Picts are warlike people, and I was not sure you made it.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_2:raethbarth_wp_3|I have good news for you, too. Sven Bull Neck was seen in East Engle. I guess he has been there because it's a kingdom that gave us supplies, horses and support when we first got to Englaland -- mostly out of fear on the part of their weak king. East Engle is a land that belongs to us by his weakness.^^The bad part is that by now Sven Bull Neck has left East Engle for West Seaxe. He is trying to run away from you. As he must know I have your back, he has sought out the strongest enemy we have.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_3:raethbarth_wp_41|Still, I do not understand why he betrayed Sigurd.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_3:raethbarth_wp_5|I must go to West Seaxe immediately.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_41:raethbarth_wp_42|{s2}^^I think I can answer that. A messenger from my brother Sigurd came to us shortly after your arrival -- unfortunately too late. Sigurd told us that we had to be careful with Sven Bull Neck. Apparently, someone killed his brother, Olvir White Hair, very dear to Sven, and the Assembly will not punish the guilty party. Sven thought that Sigurd had broken his word to him by not defending his right to revenge. So just before leaving with the fleet, Sven Bull Neck renounced his oath to Sigurd and promised to take revenge on his own.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_42:raethbarth_wp_43|I am the one who killed Olvir, but I did it in self-defense.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_42:raethbarth_wp_43.1|I am the one who killed Olvir. He was a dog that deserved what he got.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_42:raethbarth_wp_5|(Say nothing)
dlga_raethbarth_wp_43:raethbarth_wp_5|The messenger did not mention your name in his story, but I imagine there are many troubles between you and Sven. That can only end in blood.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_5:raethbarth_wp_6|Sven Bull Neck is now an outlaw and an enemy of the Danish -- especially the sons of Ragnar. However, West Seaxe is a strong and large kingdom. Sven Bull Neck could just hide there, and you would never find him. However, he has two things that West Seaxe needs -- ships and good sailors -- so I think I know where they will send him.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_6:raethbarth_wp_71|To meet the ships from the Kingdom of Asturias and to lead them to West Seaxe. Right?
dlga_raethbarth_wp_6:raethbarth_wp_72|Tell me what you know.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_6:raethbarth_wp_73|Where he goes, I will go to seek him.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_71:raethbarth_wp_72|{s2}^^I like the people who serve me to be smart. You're absolutely right.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_73:raethbarth_wp_72|This obsession is your bane...
dlga_raethbarth_wp_72:raethbarth_wp_8|During the time you were busy in the Kingdom of Alban, I met with my brothers, and we sent fast ships south for more information. Almost certainly, the Asturian fleet has left port. The letter you gave us mentioned that they are meeting with people sent from West Seaxe in Frankia, in a village called Douar-an-Enez. There is a man called Bodo, once your companion, who is now with the Saxons, so we must assume that the Saxons have the same information as we do. My feeling is that West Seaxe will send Sven Bull Neck and Bodo to Douar-an-Enez soon, if they have not already done so.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_8:raethbarth_wp_91|Bodo will not work with Sven. He hates him as much as I do.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_8:raethbarth_wp_9|Then I must go to Douar-an-Enez.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_91:raethbarth_wp_9|Maybe. I do not know so well as you this Bodo, but now he is not with you but with our enemies, and I know that you are finished with him. We cannot take the risk.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_9:raethbarth_wp_10|These men from Asturias are very important, and we could use them on our side against West Seaxe. There is a traitor among them, a man named Silo, who was a prisoner of my brother Bjorn when he was in those lands. Bjorn freed him after earning his loyalty. That man has been passing us information in exchange for silver, much silver. Use Silo to gain favor with the Asturians, to pit them against West Seaxe and join us. But if you fail to convince them, kill them all.
dlga_raethbarth_wp_10:close_window|Finish everything you have pending, as you will be out several weeks. We have gathered men and have prepared ships for them. They await you in {s3}. Ask the old captain at the port. He is the man who deals with hiring sailors. Above all, remember that it is very important that this Asturian army never helps West Seaxe.
dlga_aethelredbodoletter_1:lord_pretalk|A letter? I am not a scribe. Talk to my brother Aelfred.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_1:aelfredbodoletter_2|This is the letter that old 'Snake in the Eye' so earnestly tried to get. My partner, Bodo, brought it here from Asturias. It proposes to send an army from Asturias, around the coast of Frankia, to West Seaxe, under the terms of the alliance. The blood of many innocents stains this letter, particularly that of the passengers of the Woden Ric, the boat where this matter started. I hope that their sacrifice will save other lives.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_2:aelfredbodoletter_2_1|{s2}^^.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_2_1:aelfredbodoletter_3|--From where you are, you can hear nothing, but you can see their lips move as Bodo gestures to put emphasis on his words. Aelfred remains calm, patiently listening and questioning. He is a young man, short and slight, but he reputedly has a hot temper that he hides very well. Finally, both return to your side.--
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_3:aelfredbodoletter_4|{playername}, West Seaxe thanks you for bringing this letter. Bodo has told me everything, and I know all the hardships you've been through because of this mission and, even more personally, the kidnapping of your mother. How may we reward you?
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_4:aelfredbodoletter_51|Doing the right thing is reward enough for me.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_4:aelfredbodoletter_52|I do have a request. Help me find a Dane called Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_4:aelfredbodoletter_53|I want you to help me find a Dane called Sven Bull Neck and expect a suitable reward.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_4:aelfredbodoletter_54|I did this for Bodo. I do not expect a reward.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_51:aelfredbodoletter_6|{s2}^^This is not very common: selfless people willing to help for the sake of doing good. I am sure that God, our Father, who sees everything, is saving a place in paradise for you.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_52:aelfredbodoletter_6|West Seaxe has informants across Englaland. If Sven Bull Neck appears somewhere, soon we'll know. As soon as I know something, I'll let you know.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_53:aelfredbodoletter_6|{s2}^^I see. Take this silver. About Sven Bull Neck, West Seaxe has informants across Englaland. If Sven Bull Neck appears somewhere, soon we'll know.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_54:aelfredbodoletter_6|Well, friendship is one of the most cherished virtues among the Saxons. By helping him, you have helped West Seaxe. Take this reward and know that as soon as we know anything of the whereabouts of Sven Bull Neck, we'll let you know.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_6:aelfredbodoletter_91|I will send a messenger to my brother, the king, for a meeting. We will discuss this letter and make a decision soon.^^Meanwhile, go yourself to talk to the king and offer him your allegiance. You are a person of great ability. You must enter the service of West Seaxe for us to reward you fully as you deserve.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_91:close_window|My brother is a good man. I am sure he will accept you.^^After that, return to me, for I already have a task for you.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_1_1:aelfredbodoletter_7|Ah, {playername}. I am honored that you have joined us. Now, as I mentioned, I already have something to ask of you.^^We have received repeated requests from the lands of the Welsh for help. Things are very hectic there. Because of our confrontation with the Danish, we were unable to give the attention the problem deserves. I want you go there on behalf of West Seaxe and impose peace.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_7:aelfredbodoletter_81|What you need me to do?
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_7:aelfredbodoletter_82|I am sorry. My priority is Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_82:aelfredbodoletter_81|You can be sure that, when you return from this mission, we will have news about Sven Bull Neck for you. Sven Bull Neck is a man known for his outbursts of rage, so our informers will soon hear something.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_81:aelfredbodoletter_9|I want you go there and take a fortress called Din Bych. Put your flag there for twenty days to demonstrate to the Welsh that we are ready to take their land by force if they are not able to keep peace among themselves.
dlga_aelfredbodoletter_9:lord_pretalk|Good luck. The first time we met in Snotingaham, I never thought that you would be important to West Seaxe, but now you've done us a big favor.
dlga_aethelred_wp_1:aethelred_wp_2|I am pleased to hear that. The Welsh are warlike people, and I was not sure you made it.
dlga_aethelred_wp_2:aethelred_wp_3|I have good news for you, too. Sven Bull Neck was spotted in East Engle. I guess he was there because that kingdom gave the Danish supplies, horses and support when they first arrived in Englaland. It's a poor kingdom with a king whose weakness only helped the plague that has fallen upon us.^^The bad part is that Sven Bull Neck has since left East Engle and now serves Northhymbre. He is trying to run away from you. As he must know that West Seaxe has received you, he surrounds himself with our enemies.
dlga_aethelred_wp_3:aethelred_wp_41|Still, I do not understand why they give them shelter when he killed King Horik's man.
dlga_aethelred_wp_3:aethelred_wp_5|Then I must go to Northhymbre.
dlga_aethelred_wp_41:aethelred_wp_42|{s2}^^The sons of Ragnar rule Northhymbre, not the king of Danmark, Horik, and from what I know, Sven Bull Neck is the prow man of Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' one of the most dangerous of the Ragnarssons.
dlga_aethelred_wp_42:aethelred_wp_43|Someday Sigurd and I will settle our accounts.
dlga_aethelred_wp_42:aethelred_wp_43.1|Sigurd may be in Danmark, but he has long arms.
dlga_aethelred_wp_42:aethelred_wp_5|(Say nothing)
dlga_aethelred_wp_43:aethelred_wp_5|I think you, Sven and Sigurd have many problems among you, and this can only end in blood.
dlga_aethelred_wp_5:aethelred_wp_6|Well, Sven Bull Neck is a problem, but Northhymbre is full of Danes, and they are strong. Sven Bull Neck could just hide there, and you would never find him. However, the Ragnarssons need him to prove his worth. I think I know where they will send him.
dlga_aethelred_wp_6:aethelred_wp_71|To meet the ships from the Kingdom of Asturias and destroy them. Right?
dlga_aethelred_wp_6:aethelred_wp_72|Tell me what you know.
dlga_aethelred_wp_6:aethelred_wp_73|Wherever he goes, I will go and find him.
dlga_aethelred_wp_71:aethelred_wp_72|{s2}^^I like that the people who serve be smart. You're right.
dlga_aethelred_wp_73:aethelred_wp_72|This obsession must be giving you headaches...
dlga_aethelred_wp_72:aethelred_wp_8|During the time you were busy with the Welsh, I met with my brother. Almost certainly, the Asturian fleet has left port. The letter you gave us mentioned that they will meet our people in Frankia, near a village called Douar-an-Enez. I fear that, in some way, the sons of Ragnar have obtained this information.
dlga_aethelred_wp_8:aethelred_wp_91|A man, Reginhard, betrayed me. Perhaps he mentioned this to Sigurd.
dlga_aethelred_wp_8:aethelred_wp_9_1|I remember Sigurd mentioned a traitor in Asturias. Somebody called Silo.
dlga_aethelred_wp_91:aethelred_wp_9|Maybe. It shows your poor judgment when it comes to choosing companions.
dlga_aethelred_wp_9:aethelred_wp_9_1|That's not fair! I remember Sigurd mentioned a traitor in Asturias. Perhaps the information came to them from there.
dlga_aethelred_wp_9_1:aethelred_wp_10|If there is a traitor in the fleet of the Kingdom of Asturias, you must find and kill him. These men from Asturias are very important. Do not fail us.^^Finish everything you have pending, as you will be out for several weeks. We have gathered men and have prepared ships for them. They await you in {s3}. Ask the old captain at the port. He is the man who deals with hiring sailors.
dlga_aethelred_wp_10:lord_pretalk|Above all, remember that it is very important that this Asturian army reach West Seaxe.
dlga_aelfred_ad_1:aelfred_ad_2|{s3}^^Yes, it's true. The news preceded you. It seems that the Danish surprised you. The army was lost, the best that we had right now, and all this work and diplomatic expense has been for nothing.
dlga_aelfred_ad_2:aelfred_ad_31|I admit my failure.
dlga_aelfred_ad_2:aelfred_ad_32|Thanks to my victory in Douar-an-Enez, you have 600 Danish less attacking West Seaxe.
dlga_aelfred_ad_31:aelfred_ad_4|{s2}^^Look, it's not worth worrying about what could be and was not. Now we have problems that are more serious.
dlga_aelfred_ad_32:aelfred_ad_4|{s2}^^I would not call it a victory. The news I received was that there was dissension in the camp of the Asturians. I distinctly remember asking you neutralize the traitor as soon as possible. If you had followed my instruction, you would have defeated the Danish and today we would have 500 veterans here to help. Well, forget it. Now we have problems that are more serious.
dlga_aelfred_ad_4:aelfred_ad_5|We are in dire straits. The Danish became strong in Readingum, and they resisted our attempt to drive them away. My brother, King Aethelred, is convinced that God was not on our side and is trying to regain his favor by praying as much as he can. I think we need more men AND God's favor to defeat the Danish. That's why I was so desperate to see you. Ahm, did I say 'desperate?' Well, I meant I need your help, for you have proven to be a resourceful {reg59?lady:man}.
dlga_aelfred_ad_5:aelfred_ad_6|{s2}^^The Danish are preparing to advance to our meeting. They know that if we are defeated, West Seaxe will be at their mercy, and they will do the same thing here that they did in East Engle and Northhymbre. After the defeat at Readingum, many men were scattered, and I sent out thegns to gather them and also to raise the fyrd in the villages to cover our losses. We need food to feed all these people. I need you to bring me {reg3} head of cattle so I can keep the troops fed. I care very little about where you get them. Just bring them to me as soon as you can.
dlga_aelfred_ad_6:aelfred_ad_71|Well, I'll get the cattle while you gather your men. It's time to end the Danish.
dlga_aelfred_ad_6:aelfred_ad_72|I'm tired of being a peon for West Seaxe.
dlga_aelfred_ad_6:aelfred_ad_73|Sven was not in Douar-an-Enez. I cannot take search for cattle; I have to find him.
dlga_aelfred_ad_71:lord_pretalk|Well, I knew I could count on you.
dlga_aelfred_ad_72:aelfred_ad_74|Look, I'm usually not so expressive, but I will tell you that you are very important to West Seaxe. I understand that none of this is easy. Moreover, Sven Bull Neck is in the enemy army. Fighting on our side is the best way to reach him. Well, do something! West Seaxe needs you because we are in a situation of life or death, so we will reward you for this service. I'll pay 10,000 peningas from my own treasure. Do you agree?
dlga_aelfred_ad_73:aelfred_ad_74|Sven Bull Neck is among our enemies, ready to pillage West Seaxe. That makes our interests coincide. Well, West Seaxe needs you in any case because we are in a life or death situation. We will reward you for this service. I'll pay 10,000 peningas from my own treasure. Do you agree?
dlga_aelfred_ad_74:aelfred_ad_71|Your money is not necessary. I will do this to have your support to hunt to Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_aelfred_ad_74:aelfred_ad_75|Glad to know that I will be rewarded at last. Pay me, and I'll bring you cattle.
dlga_aelfred_ad_75:lord_pretalk|Take your money. Now bring the cattle. Good luck.
dlga_aelfred_bt_1:aelfred_bt_2|{s3}^^The Danish have gotten underway. They are approaching quickly. My brother is praying for victory, and we're ready. If God is on our side, we will win and save West Seaxe. Otherwise, we perish. I do not say such things very often, but thank you for everything, {playername}, especially for joining your destiny to ours.
dlga_aelfred_bt_2:aelfred_bt_31|Do not worry, sir. Danish are the ones who should be afraid of us.
dlga_aelfred_bt_2:aelfred_bt_32|Soon Sven and I will see each other and finish what he started on the Woden Ric.
dlga_aelfred_bt_2:aelfred_bt_33|Thanks are not necessary. It is a pleasure to serve you.
dlga_aelfred_bt_31:close_window|Well said. They will pay dearly for their ill-considered invasion. Now let's go to the men.
dlga_aelfred_bt_32:close_window|Sure, we'll help you with that! Now let's go to the men.
dlga_aelfred_bt_33:close_window|Do you always say what others want to hear? Leave it. Now let's go to the men.
dlga_halfdan_ad_1:halfdan_ad_2|{s3}^^Yes, it's true. The news preceded you. It seems that the Saxons surprised you. Fortunately, you got the win and ended up with the enemy army. The Danish are in debt to you, {playername}. Let me reward you!
dlga_halfdan_ad_2:halfdan_ad_31|It was a tough battle, and there were many casualties.
dlga_halfdan_ad_2:halfdan_ad_32|Thanks to my victory today, the Saxons have many men less to defend West Seaxe.
dlga_halfdan_ad_31:halfdan_ad_4|{s2}^^Now they enjoy the pleasures of Walhalla. Do not weep for the dead; they do not want to hear it.
dlga_halfdan_ad_32:halfdan_ad_4|{s2}^^Yes, fate smiles upon us. The Norns weave the threads in our favor. We Danes hold East Engle and Northhymbre, and will soon add West Seaxe, and you, my friend, have become part of the fate of the sons of Ragnar. If my father had known you, he would have adopted you.
dlga_halfdan_ad_4:halfdan_ad_5|Well, let's deal with the important things. Soon we leave Readingum to attack the Saxons. With every day that passes, they receive more men and become stronger. We must attack them and destroy them quickly. Then West Seaxe will be ours. They are afraid of us, very afraid, but Saxons are bold people with a strong king, not like those Angles. We will precipitate the battle and kill their king, along with that Aelfred, brother of the king, who is equally or more dangerous though he is little more than a boy.
dlga_halfdan_ad_5:halfdan_ad_6|{s2}^^More immediately, we need meat for our warriors. I need you to bring me {reg3} head of cattle so I can keep the troops fed. I care very little about where you get them. Just bring them to me as soon as you can.
dlga_halfdan_ad_6:halfdan_ad_71|Well, I'll get the cattle. I will kill Sven and take my share of the booty in West Seaxe.
dlga_halfdan_ad_6:halfdan_ad_72|Do not take so many liberties. We are not friends.
dlga_halfdan_ad_6:halfdan_ad_73|Sven was not in Douar-an-Enez. I cannot look for cattle; I have to find Sven Bull Neck.
dlga_halfdan_ad_71:close_window|Now you're talking! Hurry up! I want to get going soon.
dlga_halfdan_ad_72:halfdan_ad_74|Oh, I see. You think like a Viking now. I can pay for the service you give. I will give you 8000 peningas now. Do you agree?
dlga_halfdan_ad_73:halfdan_ad_74|Sven Bull Neck is with our enemies, ready to defend West Seaxe. That makes our interests coincide. Well, I will reward you for this service. I'll pay 8000 peningas. Do you agree?
dlga_halfdan_ad_74:halfdan_ad_71|Do not worry about the money; it is not necessary. It was but a joke! I'm really with you.
dlga_halfdan_ad_74:halfdan_ad_75|Glad to know that I will be rewarded at last. Pay me, and I'll bring cattle.
dlga_halfdan_ad_75:close_window|Take your money. Now bring the cattle. Good luck.
dlga_halfdan_bt_1:halfdan_bt_2|{s3}^^Everything is ready. It's time to get going. If West Seaxe falls, Englaland will be finished, and our people will take these fertile lands for themselves. We'll all be rich men, and our fame will rival of the heroes of the sagas, {playername}.
dlga_halfdan_bt_2:halfdan_bt_31|West Seaxe is waiting!
dlga_halfdan_bt_2:halfdan_bt_32|Soon Sven and I will see each other and finish what he started on the Woden Ric.
dlga_halfdan_bt_2:halfdan_bt_33|I'm ready to shake the roots of Yggdrasill.
dlga_halfdan_bt_31:close_window|Well said! Now let's go to the men.
dlga_halfdan_bt_32:close_window|You should forget this obsession you have! It is your bane. Now let's go to the men.
dlga_halfdan_bt_33:close_window|That sounds poetic! You must have the soul of a skald, seidr's son! Now let's go to the men.
dlga_ashdown_2petition:lord_pretalk|Collect all the men that you can and come see me when you're ready.
dlga_svenbn_hunting1_1:svenbn_hunting1|We owe you a lot, my people and I. When you finish your vendetta with Sven, you will always have a place back here with us.
dlga_svenbn_hunting1:svenbn_hunting2|Aelfred, without your initiative, this victory would not have been possible.
dlga_svenbn_hunting1:svenbn_hunting2.1|This victory was the work of all, Halfdan.
dlga_lord_deal_with_bandits_completed:svenbn_hunting21|Again, Sven Bull Neck escapes.
dlga_lord_deal_with_bandits_completed:svenbn_hunting22|A good fight! I'll finish with Sven and return to you with the spoils.
dlga_svenbn_hunting2:svenbn_hunting3|Well, let us leave compliments for another time. Now I go to gather men. The enemy is not completely defeated and we have to exploit this victory.
dlga_svenbn_hunting21:svenbn_hunting3|That's over. My men have control of Readingum. Now I go to gather men. The enemy is not completely defeated and we have to exploit this victory.
dlga_svenbn_hunting22:svenbn_hunting3|We'll be waiting. Now, do not delay but go to meet Sven. Now I go to gather men. The enemy is not completely defeated and we have to exploit this victory.
dlga_svenbn_hunting3:close_window|Good luck, {playername}, broedr. I never knew anyone with your luck or your destiny. Surely, you're soguligr, a worthy subject for sagas. Far thu vel!
dlga_svenbn_hunting3:close_window.1|Good luck, {playername}. God is with you, because without His help it would be impossible that someone might do the deeds that you have done. Wes gesund!
dlga_lord_talk:offer_gift_quest_complete|I have acquired everything for {s4}'s gift.
dlga_lord_talk:intrigue_quest_state_complaint|My lord -- there is something I wish to tell you in confidence, about one of your vassals.
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint:lord_pretalk|Whatever you have to say, I would ask you to wait until we are alone.
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint:intrigue_quest_state_complaint_plyr|What is it? I value your opinion, although I hope that you are not trying to sow dissension among my vassals.
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint_plyr:lord_intrigue_quest_complaint_stated|My liege -- {s4} is widely held by your vassals to be {s5}, and a liability to your realm
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint_plyr:lord_pretalk|Actually, my liege, never mind.
dlga_lord_intrigue_quest_complaint_stated:lord_pretalk|Hmm... This is troubling to hear. Although I do not encourage my vassals to speak ill of each other, I value your opinion. Perhaps I should think twice about granting {s4} any further fiefs or offices...
dlga_lord_intrigue_quest_complaint_stated:intrigue_quest_state_complaint_failed|Sow discord among my vassals, will you? With everything else going on, do you think I appreciate my nobles turning on each other like quarreling dogs? Let me ask you this -- did someone put you up this?
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint_failed:intrigue_quest_state_accept_blame|I stand by my words, my liege.
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_complaint_failed:intrigue_quest_state_deflect_blame|Yes, sire -- {s4} put me up to denouncing {s5}!
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_accept_blame:lord_pretalk|Indeed. You may stand by your words, but keep them to yourself. I will not have you undercutting my faithful follower {s4}.
dlga_intrigue_quest_state_deflect_blame:lord_pretalk|I thought as much. Here's some advice for you, {reg59?lassie:lad} -- don't meddle in the quarrels of others. Now, enough of this.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_denounce_1|I want to tell you something -- we have had enough of your {s4} ways
dlga_lord_denounce_1:lord_denounce_2|I'm sorry... What did you say?
dlga_lord_denounce_2:lord_denounce_3|You heard me. You will {s4}
dlga_lord_denounce_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind. You must have misheard me.
dlga_lord_denounce_3:close_window|Why would you say such a thing? To insult me like this, in spite of our friendship -- how much crueler is a knife in my back from an erstwhile friends, than the sword of a sworn foe. I do not know what game you are playing, but I want no part of it. Go away. I do not want to look at you.
dlga_lord_denounce_3:close_window.1|Humph. Really? Is that your opinion, or did one of my rivals put those words in your mouth? Never mind. I will not play your game. Go away, and take your intrigues with you.
dlga_lord_denounce_3:lord_denounce_4|I will not have you shame me in public, {reg59?my lady:sir}. Retract your words, or meet me on the duelling ground.
dlga_lord_denounce_3:lord_denounce_4.1|Is that so? Well, hear this -- you're a snake, and a knave, and -- if you don't meet me on the duelling ground -- a coward. What say you to that? Do you retract your words, or shall we cross swords?
dlga_lord_denounce_4:lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel_confirm|It would be a pleasure to fight you.
dlga_lord_denounce_4:lord_denounce_retract|I spoke rashly. I retract my words.
dlga_lord_denounce_retract:lord_pretalk|I thought as much. Now, be gone from here.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_quarrel_intervention_1|I wish to address your quarrel with {s11}
dlga_lord_talk:lord_recruit_1_relation|Stay your hand! There is something I must say to you in private.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_gift_improverelation|(Gift warrior rings and bracelets valued at 5000 peningas)
dlga_lord_gift_improverelation:lord_pretalk|Thank you, I am proud to receive these awards.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_bandit_information|I am hunting a group of bandits with the following description... Have you seen them?
dlga_lord_talk:lord_internal_politics_cur_stance|Who do you think should be made the marshal of our realm?
dlga_lord_talk:lord_internal_politics_cur_stance.1|Who do you think should receive the fief of {s4}?
dlga_lord_talk:lord_husband_auto_recruit|I need you to renounce your allegiance to {s4} and join the {s5} now, my husband.
dlga_lord_husband_auto_recruit:lord_pretalk|Ask me again when we are outside of these walls, my wife.
dlga_lord_husband_auto_recruit:close_window|As you wish, my wife.
dlga_lord_talk:reclutar_permiso1|I would like to ask permission to recruit men in your land.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_recruit_1_relation.1|There is a matter that I would like to discuss in private.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_reveal|I've heard a rumor that you were behind a recent attempt to murder me.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_recruit_1_relation.2|There is something which I would like to discuss with to you in private.

dlga_lord_respond_to_insult:lord_pretalk|Hah! I admire a quick tongue. Perhaps someday I shall remove it, with tongs, to admire it at greater leisure, but today, at least, I shall salute your wit and courage.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult:lord_pretalk.1|I meant no offense, madame.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult:lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_battle|Are you trying to provoke me? Well, I would have you know that I am under no obligation to duel women, commoners, rebels, or brigands. I could, however, order my men to seize you and horsewhip you. Would you like them to do that?
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult:lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel|Are you trying to provoke me? Well, I would have you know that I am under no obligation to duel women, commoners, rebels, or brigands. However, in your case, I would be delighted to make an exception. Are you ready for a lesson in deference to your betters, {reg59?girl:varlot}?
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult:close_window|Are you trying to provoke me? Well, I would have you know that I am under no obligation to duel women, commoners, rebels, or brigands. You are lucky that I am in a good mood, because I am perfectly within my rights to order my men to seize you and horsewhip you. Now begone -- I have had enough of you.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_battle:lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_battle_confirm|I would like to see them try.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_battle:close_window|This is not worth the shedding of blood.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_battle_confirm:close_window|Enough of your insolence! At {reg59?her:him}, lads!
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel:lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel_confirm|I am ready to teach you one.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel:close_window|This is not worth the shedding of blood.
dlga_lord_respond_to_insult_challenge_duel_confirm:close_window|So be it. Defend yourself!
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_2:lord_quarrel_intervention_3a|Ah, well. It sounds like you're in the right, then.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_2:lord_quarrel_intervention_3b|Whatever your differences, I want you to settle them.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_2:lord_quarrel_intervention_3b.1|Could you not be convinced to settle your differences?
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_2:lord_pretalk|On second thought, I want nothing to do with this.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_3a:lord_pretalk|I'm glad that you think so.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_3b:lord_quarrel_intervention_4|For the sake of our friendship, I defer to your judgment. I will try to make amends with {s11}.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_3b:lord_pretalk|I will not reconcile with {s11}. I know my rights.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_4:lord_pretalk|Let it be as though our quarrel never occurred.
dlga_lord_quarrel_intervention_4:lord_pretalk.1|I suppose that you should speak to {s11}, and see if he will do the same for me.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_cur_stance:lord_internal_politics_cur_stance_plyr_response|I had already made up my mind to support you.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_cur_stance:lord_internal_politics_cur_stance_plyr_response.1|I am unable to decide at this time

dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate:lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select|Whom do you support?
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select:lord_internal_politics_pretalk|I would like to nominate myself for that honor
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select:lord_internal_politics_pretalk.1|I support my husband, {s4}
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select:lord_internal_politics_support_acknowledge|I would support you, {s4}
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select:lord_internal_politics_support_same_acknowledge|I would support your choice, {s4}
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_choose_candidate_select:lord_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_acknowledge:lord_pretalk|That is most gracious of you, but I do not seek the honor, and I decline your support.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_acknowledge:lord_pretalk.1|I do not trust you, and I do not need your support.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_acknowledge:lord_pretalk.2|That is most gracious of you
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_same_acknowledge:lord_pretalk|You may tell him that yourself. I do not trust you, and I will have no part in any game that you are playing.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_same_acknowledge:lord_pretalk.1|Given your relation with {s4}, I do not think that he would welcome your support.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_support_same_acknowledge:lord_pretalk.2|I will tell {s4}. He will no doubt be grateful for your support.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_pretalk:lord_internal_politics_cur_stance_plyr_response|Ah. Most interesting.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_cur_stance_plyr_response:lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support|Can I convince you to support me instead?
dlga_lord_internal_politics_cur_stance_plyr_response:lord_pretalk|Anyway, enough of politics for the time being.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk|You have engendered too much controversy to be a viable candidate right now. I would advise you to wait a little while before seeking any further honors for yourself.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk.1|I am sorry. I would not wish to strain my relationship with {s4}
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk.2|You have already been well rewarded with fiefs appropriate to your accomplishments, I would say.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk.3|I think you would need to prove yourself further before you are eligible for that position.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk.4|Hmm... That is too much to ask, given the state of our relationship.
dlga_lord_internal_politics_plyr_request_support:lord_pretalk.5|I would support you with pleasure.
dlga_lord_recruit_1_relation:lord_pretalk|I am a bit weary of talking politics. Perhaps at a later date
dlga_lord_recruit_1_relation:lord_recruit_pretender|You have raised the standard of rebellion on behalf of {s16}. Have you come to plead {reg3?her:his} case?
dlga_lord_recruit_pretender:lord_recruit_3_dilemma_1|I have.
dlga_lord_recruit_pretender:lord_recruit_1_relation|No, that's not it. There's another issue I wish to discuss.
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_recruit_2_philosophy|What do you think, in general terms, about kings, lords, and politics?
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_spouse_leave_faction|My husband, I believe that you should rethink your allegiance to {s11}
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction:lord_spouse_leave_faction_2|{s9} has always been a good liege to me, but I will hear you out. What do you suggest we do?
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction:lord_spouse_leave_faction_2.1|I see no particular reason to abandon {s9}, but I will heed your advice. What do you suggest we do?
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction:lord_spouse_leave_faction_2.2|Yes -- as a liege, {s9} is a great disappointment. What do you suggest we do?
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_2:lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king|I believe you should be king, my husband!
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_2:lord_spouse_leave_faction_proclaim_queen|I am the rightful queen of the Northlands
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king:lord_pretalk|Perhaps someday, my wife -- but before I declare myself king, I should like for one of us to hold a fortress which could serve as our court before we declare ourselves publically.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_proclaim_queen:lord_pretalk|While I do not contest your claim, my wife, I should like for one of us to hold a fortress which could serve as our court before we declare ourselves publically.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_proclaim_queen_confirm:close_window|I am ready now, my husband. Let us go forth to seek our throne.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_proclaim_queen_confirm:lord_pretalk|Perhaps I am not yet ready.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king:lord_pretalk.1|Perhaps, but I would need your full support to press that claim. You would want to resolve {s4}'s rebellion before pushing this any further.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king:lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king_2|Most of the great families of this land have a claim to the throne... Given the recent issues with the succession, I should be as legitimate a king as {s4}.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king_2:lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king_3|While king, I will defer to your judgment in the appointment of ministers, the conduct of diplomacy, and other such matters.
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king_3:close_window|Very well, my husband. Let us ride forth to press your claim!
dlga_lord_spouse_leave_faction_husband_king_3:lord_pretalk|Actually, let us bide out time for a bit.
dlga_lord_recruit_2_philosophy:lord_recruit_2|{s43} Did you wish to speak of anything else?
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_recruit_2_discontent|How do you feel about {s15}?
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_recruit_3_a|Do you remember what I had told you earlier?
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_recruit_quarrel_describe|I have heard that you have quarreled with {s16}
dlga_lord_recruit_quarrel_describe:lord_recruit_2|It is no secret. {s14}
dlga_lord_recruit_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_lord_recruit_2_discontent_b:lord_recruit_3|Sometimes, I do worry about the state of the realm.
dlga_lord_recruit_hesitant:lord_recruit_hesitant_persuade|Can't I persuade you to say a little more?
dlga_lord_recruit_hesitant:lord_pretalk|Ah. Very good.
dlga_lord_recruit_hesitant_persuade:lord_recruit_3|If you put it that way, I admit that I do sometimes worry about the state of the realm.
dlga_lord_recruit_hesitant_persuade:lord_pretalk|You try my patience. I said that I have nothing to say.
dlga_lord_recruit_3:lord_recruit_3_a|Well, I have something to tell you.
dlga_lord_recruit_3:lord_pretalk|Well, that's interesting to know. But enough about politics.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_reset_claim:lord_recruit_3_claim|Yes, that's it.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_reset_claim:lord_recruit_3_a_reset|Let me phrase that a little differently.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_a:lord_recruit_3_b|Yes?
dlga_lord_recruit_3_a_reset:lord_recruit_3_b|Yes?
dlga_lord_recruit_3_b:lord_recruit_3_why|I ask for your support for the throne of the Northlands
dlga_lord_recruit_3_b:lord_recruit_3_why.1|I ask you to pledge allegiance to my liege, {s45}, as monarch of all the Northlands
dlga_lord_recruit_3_b:lord_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_lord_recruit_3_why:lord_pretalk|Neither of us has so much as a single fortress to our name. Would you rule your kingdom from an outlaw's den in the woods?
dlga_lord_recruit_3_why:lord_recruit_3_d|Why should I support {s44}?
dlga_lord_recruit_3_d:lord_recruit_3_claim.1|If {s45} were {s47}, {s45} would deal with all men fairly and uphold the rights of the commons.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_d:lord_recruit_3_claim.2|If {s45} were {s47}, {s45} would uphold your ancient rights as a noble of this land.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_d:lord_recruit_3_claim.3|Because {s45} can unify the Northlands and end this discord.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_d:lord_recruit_3_claim.4|Because {s45} will reward you with lands.
dlga_lord_recruit_3_d:lord_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_lord_recruit_3_claim:lord_recruit_3_claim|Do you perhaps tell each person what you think they most want to hear? {s12}
dlga_lord_recruit_4:lord_recruit_4_objective_conditions|I ask you to pledge your allegiance to {s16}.
dlga_lord_recruit_4:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_recruit_4_objective_conditions:lord_recruit_5_security|Let me think...
dlga_lord_recruit_6:lord_recruit_6_reaction|It is time for you to make a decision.
dlga_lord_recruit_6:lord_pretalk|No need to decide anything -- we can speak of this at a later time.
dlga_lord_recruit_6_reaction:lord_recruit_7_decision|Very well...
dlga_lord_recruit_7_decision:lord_recruit_pledge|Very well -- I am ready to pledge myself to {s4} as my {reg4?queen:king}.
dlga_lord_recruit_pledge:lord_recruit_pledge|Remember. You have promised me a fief. I will hold you to that promise.
dlga_lord_recruit_pledge:lord_recruit_pledge_conclude|So be it -- I pledge allegiance to you as your faithful vassal. I shall stand at your side to fight your enemies should you need my sword, and uphold your claims and those of your legitimate heirs. I expect in turn that you will protect me and recognize my rights as your vassal.
dlga_lord_recruit_pledge:lord_recruit_pledge_conclude.1|So be it -- you may inform {s4} that I am now {reg4?her:him} faithful vassal, that I will follow {reg4?her:him} as long as my breath remains, and I will be at {reg4?her:his} side to fight your enemies should you need my sword, and that I uphold your lawful claims and those of your legitimate heirs. In turn, I expect his protection and his recognition of my rights as his vassal.
dlga_lord_recruit_pledge_conclude:close_window|Now... It is a momentous step I have taken. I will take my leave, as I may need some time prepare myself for what comes next.
dlga_lord_talk:denounce_lord_results|I did as you suggested, and denounced {s4}
dlga_denounce_lord_results:lord_pretalk|Yes, and hopefully now {s4} will think twice before entrusting him with any additional fiefs, honors, or offices. We are grateful to you.
dlga_denounce_lord_results:close_window|So you did -- and we have heard that he forced you to retract your words, and thus emerged from this affair looking stronger than before. You will forgive me, {reg59?my lady:sir}, if my gratitude to you is somewhat muted.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_quest_intrigue_result|I did as you asked, and spoke to {s5} about the danger posed by {s4}.
dlga_lord_quest_intrigue_result:lord_pretalk|So we hear. I hope that now {s5} will think twice before entrusting him with any additional fiefs, honors, or offices. We are grateful to you.
dlga_lord_quest_intrigue_result:close_window|So we hear -- but alas, {s5} seems not to have listened. Still, we are grateful to you for trying.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_lend_companion_end|I should like {s14} returned to me, {s65}, if you no longer require {reg3?her:his} services.
dlga_lord_lend_companion_end:lord_pretalk|You've too many men in your shield wall already, {playername}. You could not lead any more at the moment.
dlga_lord_lend_companion_end:lord_pretalk.1|Certainly, {playername}. {reg3?She:He} is a bright {reg3?girl:fellow}, you're a lucky {reg59?woman:man} to have such worthy companions.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_to_collect_debt|I've come to collect the debt you owe to {s1}.
dlga_lord_ask_to_collect_debt:lord_ask_to_collect_debt_2|Oh. Well, {s1} did lend me some silver a ways back, but I've done him many favours in the past and I consider that money as my due payment.
dlga_lord_ask_to_collect_debt_2:convince_begin|{s1} considers it a debt. He asked me to speak to you on his behalf.
dlga_lord_ask_to_collect_debt_2:lord_pretalk|Then I will not press the matter any further.
dlga_convince_accept:close_window|My debt to {s8} has long been overdue and was a source of great discomfort to me. Thank you for accepting to take the money to him. Please give him these {reg10} peningas and thank him on my behalf.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_to_make_peace|Please, {s64}, it's time to end this war between the {s12} and the {s13}.
dlga_lord_ask_to_make_peace:lord_ask_to_make_peace_2|Eh? I'm not sure I heard you right, {playername}. War is not easily forgotten by either side of the conflict, and I have a very long memory. Why should I take any interest in brokering peace with those dogs?
dlga_lord_ask_to_make_peace_2:convince_begin|Perhaps I can talk you into it...
dlga_lord_ask_to_make_peace_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind, peace can wait for now.
dlga_convince_accept:close_window.1|You... have convinced me, {playername}. Very well then, you've my blessing to bring a peace offer to the {s14}. I cannot guarantee they will accept it, but on the off chance they do, I will stand by it.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_challenge_duel_for_lady|I want you to take back your accusations against {s1}.
dlga_lord_challenge_duel_for_lady:lord_challenge_duel_for_lady_2|What accusations? Everyone knows that she beds her stable boys and anyone else she can lay hands on while her husband is away. I merely repeat the words of many.
dlga_lord_challenge_duel_for_lady_2:lord_challenge_duel|You will recant these lies, sirrah, or prove them against my sword!
dlga_lord_challenge_duel_for_lady_2:lord_pretalk|If you say so...
dlga_lord_talk:lord_challenge_courtship_rival|Relinquish your suit of {s5}!
dlga_lord_challenge_courtship_rival:lord_challenge_courtship_rival_2|Or what? Do you intend to duel over a lady? I'll let you know -- our liege frowns on this sort of hotheaded challenge, when every man must stand together against the foreign foe.
dlga_lord_challenge_courtship_rival_2:lord_challenge_duel|Do you fear to fight me?
dlga_lord_challenge_courtship_rival_2:lord_pretalk|My pardon. I have spoken rashly...
dlga_lord_talk:message_from_lover_success|I have brought you a message from {s3}
dlga_message_from_lover_success:lord_pretalk|Thank you so much, {playername}! It is good to hear from my lady. Of course, you understand this must be kept confidential, for the sake of the lady's honor.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_message_delivered|I bring a message from {s9}.
dlga_lord_message_delivered:lord_pretalk|Oh? Let me see that... Well, well, well! It was good of you to bring me this, {playername}. Take my seal as proof that I've received it, and give my regards to {s9} when you see him again.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_message_delivered_enemy|I bring a message from {s9}.
dlga_lord_message_delivered_enemy:close_window|Oh? Let me see that... Hmmm. It was good of you to bring me this, {playername}. Take my seal as proof that I've received it, with my thanks.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_deliver_message_prisoner|I bring a message from {s11}.
dlga_lord_deliver_message_prisoner:lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2|Can it be true? Oh, thank you kindly, {playername}! You have brought hope and some small ray of light to these bleak walls. Perhaps one day I will be able to repay you.
dlga_lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2:lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2a| 'Twas the least I could do, {s65}.
dlga_lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2a:close_window|You've no idea how grateful I am, {playername}. A thousand thanks and more.
dlga_lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2:lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2b|Worry not, {s65}. You'll have ample opportunity once you are free again.
dlga_lord_deliver_message_prisoner_2b:close_window|Hah, of course, {playername}. My eternal thanks go with you.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer|Fear not, I am here to rescue you.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_2|Great God, are you serious? What is your plan?
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_2:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_3|A simple ruse, {s65}. If we exchange garments, I shall take your place here in prison, while you make your escape disguised as myself. I paid the guards a handsome bribe, with which I am sure they have already purchased half the wine stocks of the nearest tavern. With some luck they'll soon get so drunk, they'd have trouble recognising their own mothers, let alone telling one of us from the other. At least not until you are safely away.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_3:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_4|Hmm, it might just work... But what of you, my {reg59?lady:friend}? The guards won't take kindly to this trickery. You may end up spending some time in this cell yourself.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_4:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_5a|Not to worry, {s65}. The place is already starting to grow on me.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_4:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_5b|I shall be fine as long there is an ample reward waiting at the end.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_5a:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_6|You are a brave soul indeed. I won't forget this.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_5b:lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_6|Of course, my {reg59?lady:friend}, of course! Come to me when you have regained your freedom, and perhaps I shall be able to repay the debt I owe you.
dlga_lord_rescue_by_replace_offer_6:close_window|Quickly, {s65}, let us change garments. It is past time you were away from here.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_pardon_after_oath_renounced|{s66}, I wish to restore my old oath to the {s4}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_after_oath_renounced:lord_pretalk|That is too great a matter for me to decide, {playername}. You should seek out {s4}. Such clemency is his alone to grant or deny.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_pretalk|As you like, {s65}. I will accept your judgment.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_pretalk.1|A shame, {s65}. A shame.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_pretalk.2|Very well, go and die without me.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_ask_pardon_after_renounce_peace|Aye, I am ready.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_ask_pardon_terms_rejected|On second thought, no. I don't wish to be in your service again.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_ask_pardon_after_renounce_peace.1|Aye, I agree to those terms.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms:lord_ask_pardon_terms_rejected.1|That is too high a price, {s65}. I must decline.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_after_renounce_peace:lord_pretalk|Excellent. Though you strayed from us, {playername}, it gladdens all our hearts that you have found your way back to the right path. I hereby restore your homage to me. Rise once more as an honoured {reg59?warrior:man} in my service.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_terms_rejected:close_window|Then get out of my sight, traitor! Begone with you, and do not come back!
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_pardon|I wish to make peace with the {s4}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk|Do you indeed, {playername}? Then go and trip on your sword. Give us all peace.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk.1|{playername}, you are a {reg59?lady:lord} without a master, holding lands in your name, with only the barest scrap of a claim to legitimacy. No king in the Northlands would accept a lasting peace with you.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk.2|Make peace when I have you at an advantage? I think not.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk.3|I do not see it as being in my current interest to make peace.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_truce_offer|Yes... I am weary of fighting you. I could offer you a truce. If you keep your word and do not molest my lands and subjects, we may talk again...
dlga_lord_truce_offer:close_window|I accept. Let us stop making war upon each other, for the time being anyway
dlga_lord_truce_offer:lord_pretalk|On second thought, such an accord would not be in my interests.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_ask_pardon_2|Hmm. I could use my considerable influence to arrange a pardon for you, {playername}, but there are some who see you as an enemy and will not be satisfied unless you pay tribute. All in all, you'd need to bring no less than {reg16} peningas to make any friends in the {s4}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk.4|I am in no position to offer you anything. You must speak to {s7}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_ask_pardon_2.1|Yes... I have bigger worries than you or your followers. However, you have wronged my subjects, and wrongs demand compensation. For the sum of {reg16} peningas, I suppose that I could agree to grant you a pardon. What do you say?
dlga_lord_ask_pardon:lord_pretalk.5|I am sorry. I am in no position to offer you a pardon
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_2:lord_ask_pardon_tribue_accept|I have the money here. {reg16} peningas.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_2:lord_ask_pardon_tribue_deny|I fear I cannot pay that much.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_tribue_accept:close_window|Excellent, {playername}. I will use this to make amends to those you have wronged, and I will let it be known that you are no longer an enemy of the {s4}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_tribue_accept:close_window.1|Excellent, {playername}. I'll use the coin to smooth the feathers of those that can oppose your pardon, and I'm sure that word will soon spread that you are no longer an enemy of {s4}.
dlga_lord_ask_pardon_tribue_deny:lord_pretalk|Then there's nothing I can do for you, {playername}. No silver, no pardon.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_active_mission_1|About the task you gave me...
dlga_lord_talk:lord_switch_to_spouse|Let us discuss matters related to our household.
dlga_lord_switch_to_spouse:lord_pretalk|Let us wait until we are in a hall, my wife, as it is difficult to deal with household inventories and such matters in the field.
dlga_lord_switch_to_spouse:spouse_talk|Certainly, my wife.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_get_it|I would like to offer this rare wine for you to enjoy as a token of goodwill.
dlga_lord_get_it:lord_pretalk|Oh my, thank you very much, {playername}. You are a renowned wine expert. Everyone in Northlands knows that!
dlga_lord_talk:lord_request_help|Can you help me improve relations with {s33}?
dlga_lord_request_help:lord_request_help1|What do you have in mind?
dlga_lord_request_help1:lord_pretalk|Nothing, I'm afraid my finances will not allow me to do anything at the moment.
dlga_lord_request_help1:lord_request_help2|I'll give you 500 peningas to smooth things out with some important people here.
dlga_lord_request_help1:lord_request_help2.1|I'll give you 1000 peningas to smooth things out with some important people here.
dlga_lord_request_help1:lord_pretalk.1|Never mind.
dlga_lord_request_help3:lord_pretalk|Thank you, I appreciate your help.
dlga_lord_request_help3:lord_pretalk.1|Actually, I really don't care what they think about me.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_request_mission_ask|Do you have any tasks for me?
dlga_lord_talk:combined_political_quests|Do you think we can work together to advance our standings in this realm?
dlga_combined_political_quests:lord_pretalk|I do not imagine that you and I have many mutual interests.
dlga_combined_political_quests:lord_pretalk.1|Hmm.. Perhaps we can discuss this matter in a more private setting, at a later date.
dlga_combined_political_quests:lord_pretalk.2|Hmm.. I do have an idea, but it would require you that you be free of controversy. If you were to wait some time without getting into any arguments with the other lords of our realm, perhaps we could proceed further.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_resign_marshalship|I wish to resign as marshal.
dlga_lord_ask_resign_marshalship:lord_pretalk|So be it. I shall have to find someone else.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_enter_service|{s66}, I have come to offer you my sword in vassalage!
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_enter_service.1|{s66}, I wish to become your sworn {reg59?woman:man} and fight for your honour.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_ask_leave_service|{s66}, I wish to be released from my oath to you.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_give_troops|I want to give some troops to you.
dlga_lord_give_troops:lord_pretalk|Well, I could use some good soldiers. Thank you.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_give_order_ask|I have a new task for you.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_give_suggestion_ask|May I suggest a course of action?
dlga_lord_give_order_ask:lord_give_order|Yes?
dlga_lord_give_suggestion_ask:lord_give_order|I will gladly follow your direction, {reg59?your Highness:sire}. If you intend to direct an extensive campaign, however, you may also wish to declare yourself marshal, so there is no cause for confusion.
dlga_lord_give_suggestion_ask:lord_pretalk|My apologies. I don't know you well enough to take your advice.
dlga_lord_give_suggestion_ask:lord_give_order.1|What is it?
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_answer|Follow me.
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_answer.1|Will you follow me? I have a plan...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask|Go to...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.1|Raid around the village of...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.2|Patrol around...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_assault|Together, you and I can take {s11}. You should assault immediately...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.3|We are under attack, but the enemy can be repulsed. You should ride towards...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.4|We are under attack, but the enemy can be repulsed. You should assemble the army and march to...
dlga_lord_give_order_assault:lord_pretalk|{s4} is directing this siege. I suggest you speak to {reg4?her:him}
dlga_lord_give_order_assault:lord_pretalk.1|Our preparations are not yet ready. We need another {s11}
dlga_lord_give_order_assault:close_window|Very well -- to the walls!
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.5|There is a fortress which can easily be taken. Go to..
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_details_ask.6|The enemy is coming in force. Flee in the direction of...
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_stop|I won't need you for some time. You are free to do as you like.
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_give_order_stop.1|You no longer need to accompany me.
dlga_lord_give_order:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_give_order_details_ask:lord_pretalk|It is not my way to turn tail and run, without even laying eyes on the enemy.
dlga_lord_give_order_details_ask:lord_pretalk.1|You want me to shed my blood outside a fortress while others stand by and watch? I think not.
dlga_lord_give_order_details_ask:lord_give_order_details|Where?
dlga_lord_give_order_details:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_give_order_stop:lord_pretalk|All right, I will stop here.
dlga_lord_give_order_answer:lord_give_order|That would hardly be proper. It would be more appropriate for you to follow me instead. Did you have any other ideas?
dlga_lord_give_order_answer:lord_pretalk|All right, I will do that.{s12}
dlga_lord_give_order_answer:lord_pretalk.1|All right, I will do that.
dlga_lord_give_order_answer:lord_pretalk.2|I am sorry. I need to attend my own business at the moment.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_give_order_call_to_arms_verify|I want to start a new campaign. Let us assemble the army here.
dlga_lord_give_order_call_to_arms_verify:lord_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2|You wish to summon all lords for a new campaign?
dlga_lord_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2:lord_give_order_call_to_arms|Yes. We must gather all our forces before we march on the enemy.
dlga_lord_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2:lord_pretalk|On second thought, it won't be necessary to summon everyone.
dlga_lord_give_order_call_to_arms:lord_pretalk|All right, then I will send messengers and tell everyone to come here.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_give_order_disband_army_verify|I want to end the campaign and let everyone return home.
dlga_lord_give_order_disband_army_verify:lord_give_order_disband_army_2|You want to end the current campaign and release all lords from duty?
dlga_lord_give_order_disband_army_2:lord_give_order_disband_army|Yes. We no longer need all our forces here.
dlga_lord_give_order_disband_army_2:lord_pretalk|On second thought, it will be better to stay together for now.
dlga_lord_give_order_disband_army:lord_pretalk|All right, I will let everyone know that they are released from duty.
dlga_lord_talk:lord_talk_ask_something|I wish to ask you something.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something:lord_talk_ask_something_2|Aye? What is it?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_skill|Let me see your skills.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_skill:lord_pretalk|Let me show you...
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_again:lord_talk_ask_something_2|Is there anything else?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_location|I want to know the location of someone.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_tell_objective|What are you and your men doing?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_about_strategy|What is the realm doing?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_strategy:lord_pretalk|You should decide that, as you are the marshal.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_about_war|How goes the war?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners|I have some prisoners for ransom.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners:lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners1|I may consider that if I see someone that I know or that appears to be a real warrior.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners:lord_pretalk|I am not interested.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners1:lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners2|Alright, here they are. Does anyone catch your eye?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners1:lord_pretalk|Real warriors? I don't think I have any of those.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners2:lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners3|I would like to ransom {reg33} {s33}. I will pay you {reg34} peningas.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners2:lord_pretalk|No one that I would buy right now.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners3:lord_pretalk|Ok, deal, you can have them.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_prisoners3:lord_pretalk.1|On second thought, I'll hold on to them.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission:lord_pretalk|Great heaven, man -- if I haven't given you permission to see her, do you think I'm going to give you permission to marry her?
dlga_lord_marriage_permission:lord_pretalk.1|It is not my way to push my {s11} to marry against her will or her better judgment
dlga_lord_marriage_permission:lord_pretalk.2|Sorry, lad -- I'm not going to make my {s11} marry you, when I'd rather see her married to {s12}
dlga_lord_marriage_permission:lord_marriage_permission_endowment|Splendid news, my young man -- I shall be proud to have you in our family. Now, let us talk the terms of the marriage. As per our custom, the two of us must make sure that {s11} has sufficient finances to support herself, in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_endowment:lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer|I would say that, taking into consideration the prestige of our two houses, that you can provide a dower of {reg3} peningas, while I will supply a dowry of {reg4} peningas. This shall be her ladyship's property, as a security, lest for any reason you are unable to provide for her. What say you to that?
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer:lord_marriage_permission_engagement_date|Very well -- so let it be.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer:lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer_delay|I cannot afford that right now.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_engagement_date:close_window|Splendid! You two may now consider yourselves officially betrothed. Very well -- I shall plan to hold a great feast in {s24}, as soon as circumstances permit. We will be sure to notify you when the day comes.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_engagement_date:close_window.1|Unfortunately, there is one final complication -- there is no safe place to hold the wedding. Let us hold off on finalizing this, for the time being.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer_delay:lord_pretalk|No matter -- take the time you need to raise the money. I want her ladyship to be well looked after.
dlga_lord_marriage_permission_endowment_answer_delay:lord_pretalk.1|That is a shame, but I would be remiss in my duty if I allowed her ladyship to face an uncertain future.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_courtship_permission|{s10} I have the honor of visiting with {s14}{s12}?
dlga_lord_courtship_permission:lord_pretalk|From what I hear, you have already spoken to her -- without my permission. Let me tell you this: I am her lord and guardian, and I have plans for her. I will not be mocked behind my back as a man who cannot control the women of his household. I would ask you not to discuss this matter with me again.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_talk_ask_marriage_1|What would it take to cement a lasting alliance with your house?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_something_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_location:lord_talk_ask_location_2|Very well, I may or may not have an answer for you. About whom do you wish to hear?
dlga_lord_talk_ask_location_2:lady_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_location_2:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_war_2:lord_talk_ask_about_war_details|Tell me more about the war with the {s1}.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_war_2:lord_pretalk|That's all I wanted to know. Thank you.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_about_strategy:lord_strategy_follow_evaluation|{s7} {s9} {s14}
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_talk_ask_something_2|Did you have any other questions?
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up|Our leader {s4} is far too cautious. {reg4?He:She} should either use the army to attack the enemy, or let it go home.
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up.1|Our army sits, doing nothing. Apparently, too few vassals have answered the call to arms. Perhaps {s4} does not enjoy the confidence of the great lords of this realm.
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up.2|I disagree with this strategy. I would prefer to {s4}.
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up.3|I personally would prefer to attack {s8}, but our marshal {s10} believes that it {s9}
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up.4|I personally would prefer to defend {s8}, instead of {s9}.
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_talk|Is there anything else?
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_evaluation:lord_strategy_follow_up.5|This strategy seems reasonable to me.
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_up:lord_strategy_why_not|If you're attacking, why aren't you...
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_up:lord_talk_ask_something_again|I see...
dlga_lord_strategy_follow_up:lord_talk_replace_marshal|Would you say, then, that {s4} should no longer be marshal?
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal:lord_talk_ask_something_again|I believe that our realm should resolve the issue of {s4} before we begin to debate replacing the marshal.
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal:lord_talk_ask_something_again.1|Yes. I have already made my position on this matter clear. I believe that {s4} should be marshal instead of {s5}.
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal:lord_talk_ask_something_again.2|I will make up my mind on this matter without your persuasion, {reg59?my lady:my lord}.
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal:lord_talk_replace_marshal_decision|Hmm...
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal_decision:lord_talk_ask_something_again|Yes, I would say that. At this point, I would be tempted to say that I support {s15} instead. I am glad that you and I had this discussion, so that I know that we are of the same mind on this matter.
dlga_lord_talk_replace_marshal_decision:lord_talk_ask_something_again.1|Not necessarily. It is possible for {s4} and I have to have an honest disagreement over strategy, without my seeking to replace him.
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not:lord_strategy_why_not_select|Yes?
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_select:lord_talk_ask_something_again|Never mind
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_select:lord_strategy_why_not_reason|..planning to continue with the attack on {s4}?
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_select:lord_strategy_why_not_reason.1|..defending {s4}?
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_select:lord_strategy_why_not_reason.2|..attacking {s4}?
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_reason:lord_talk_why_not_repeat.1|Our marshal {s11} believes that {s8} {s9}{s10}
dlga_lord_strategy_why_not_reason:lord_talk_why_not_repeat.2|We could go there. {s7} However, {s5} {s3} {s4}. {s6} {s8}.
dlga_lord_talk_why_not_repeat:lord_strategy_why_not_select|Did you have any similar questions? Why we are not...
dlga_lord_talk_ask_marriage_1:lord_pretalk|You will not take offense if I tell you that, as a king, I have other plans for my children.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_marriage_1:lord_pretalk.1|It is our custom to seal any such alliances with marriage. Unfortunately, no one in my household is eligible to wed.
dlga_lord_talk_ask_marriage_1:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm|Are you proposing that you and I marry?
dlga_lord_courtship_pre_permission:lord_courtship_permission|May I {s15}suggest that I be considered as a groom?
dlga_lord_courtship_pre_permission:lord_marriage_permission_engagement_date|CHEAT -- Start engagement
dlga_lord_courtship_pre_permission:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_reax|Yes. That is my proposal.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm:lord_pretalk|No, I think you have misunderstood me.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_next_step:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_next_step_4|I suppose the next step would be for me to send a message to your family, asking for their permission to marry you, but I suppose that you make your own decisions.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_next_step_4:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_next_step_5|You assume correctly.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_next_step_5:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement|Very well, then. As there are no obstacles to our marriage, should we then consider ourselves engaged to be wed? I will organize a great feast, and we can exchange our vows before all the lords of the realm. If you are willing, that is...
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement_yes|I am willing.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement:lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement_no|Actually, I would like to reconsider.
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement_yes:close_window|Very well. I hope that, a little over a month from now, we shall be wed.{s12}
dlga_lord_marriage_proposal_female_pc_confirm_engagement_no:close_window|Take whatever time you need, my lady.
dlga_lord_talk:party_encounter_lord_hostile_ultimatum_surrender|I say this only once, {s4}! Surrender or die!

dlga_lord_attack_verify_b:lord_attack_verify_cancel|Forgive me sir. I don't know what I was thinking.
dlga_lord_attack_verify_b:lord_attack_verify_commit|I stand my ground. Prepare to fight!
dlga_lord_demand:lord_pretalk|Forgive me. It's nothing.

dlga_liege_defends_claim_1:liege_defends_claim_2|Oh really? It is not everyone who dares mention that name in my presence. I am not sure whether to reward your bravery, or punish you for your impudence.
dlga_liege_defends_claim_2:liege_defends_claim_3|Very well. I will indulge your curiosity. But listen closely, because I do not wish to speak of this matter again.

dlga_lord_enter_service_reject:close_window|Indeed... Did you offer vassalage, then, just to by time? Very well -- you shall have time to reconsider, but if you are toying with me, it will do your reputation no credit.
dlga_lord_give_oath_give_up:close_window|Indeed... Did you offer vassalage, then, just to buy time? Very well -- you shall have time to reconsider, but if you are toying with me, it will do your reputation no credit.
dlga_lord_enter_service_reject:close_window.1|What pigswill! And to think I would offer you a place among my nobles. Begone, beggar, before I lose my temper!
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_give_oath_under_oath_already|You are already oath-bound to serve {s5}, are you not?
dlga_lord_give_oath_under_oath_already:lord_pretalk|Indeed I am, {s65}. Forgive my rambling.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_pretalk|I accept oaths only from those I can trust to keep them, {playername}.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_pretalk.1|You've caused trouble in my realm, {playername}. I do not wish for myself the opposition that would come from making you my vassal.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_ask_enter_service_female_2|My lady, you seem to have the makings of a good war leader. For a woman to show such skill is an uncommon thing in the Northlands, but not completely without precedent. Noblewomen have often taken command of armies after their husbands or fathers were slain or captured, for example.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_2:lord_ask_enter_service_female_response|However, I have never heard of a king who granted a fief to a woman, no matter how valorous, simply because he needed an extra vassal. Were I to do such a thing, I would raise eyebrows across the Northlands. Men would say that I was besotted or bewitched, or that I aimed to overturn the natural order of things. As much as I regret it, I cannot afford to grant you a fief.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_response:lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_capture|What if I were to take one of your enemy's castles by force?
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_response:lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_marriage|What if I were to marry one of your lords?
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_response:lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_competitor|Perhaps one of your competitors will prove to be more open-minded.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_response:lord_ask_enter_service|I would be willing to fight for you, even without the fief.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_response:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_marriage:lord_ask_enter_service_female_response|Well, I still would not be willing to grant you any fiefs. However, you would no doubt have the use of your husband's properties, which would allow you to act as one of my vassals in all but name. Did you have other questions?
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_competitor:lord_ask_enter_service_female_response|Oh, perhaps you might find someone who was truly desperate -- but then, I would think, they would not have many fiefs to bestow. Did you have other questions?
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service_female_solution_capture:lord_ask_enter_service_female_response|Well, in that case, depending on the circumstances, I might be inclined to let you keep it. Did you have other questions?
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_give_oath_1|You are known as a brave {reg59?warrior:man-at-arms} and a fine leader of men, {playername}. I shall be pleased to accept your sword into my service and bestow vassalage upon you, if you are ready to swear homage to me.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_pretalk.2|You've yet to show yourself as a competent commander, {playername}. Take your sword to my enemies and prove to me that you are worthy of becoming my vassal. Then we may speak more of this.
dlga_lord_give_oath_1:lord_give_oath_2|I am ready, {s65}.
dlga_lord_give_oath_1:lord_give_oath_give_up|Forgive me, {s65}. I must give the matter more thought first...
dlga_lord_give_oath_give_up:lord_pretalk|Take whatever time you need, my lady.
dlga_lord_give_oath_give_up:close_window.1|What are you playing at, {playername}? Go and make up your mind, and stop wasting my time.
dlga_lord_give_oath_2:lord_give_oath_3|Good. Then repeat the words of the oath with me: I swear homage to you as lawful ruler of the {s41}.
dlga_lord_give_oath_3:lord_give_oath_4|I pledge homage to you as lawful ruler of the {s41}.
dlga_lord_give_oath_3:lord_give_oath_give_up|Excuse me, my {reg65?Lady:Lord}. I feel I need to think about this.

dlga_lord_give_oath_5:lord_give_oath_give_up|My {reg65?Lady:Lord}, may I ask for some time to think about this?
dlga_lord_give_oath_6:lord_give_oath_7|...and I will be at your side to fight your enemies should you need my sword.
dlga_lord_give_oath_7:lord_give_oath_8|...and I will be at your side to fight your enemies should you need my sword.
dlga_lord_give_oath_7:lord_give_oath_give_up|My {reg65?Lady:Lord}, please give me more time to think about this.
dlga_lord_give_oath_8:lord_give_oath_9|Finally, I will uphold your lawful claims and those of your legitimate heirs.
dlga_lord_give_oath_9:lord_give_oath_10|Finally, I will uphold your lawful claims and those of your legitimate heirs.
dlga_lord_give_oath_9:lord_give_oath_give_up|My {reg65?Lady:Lord}, I must have more time to consider this.
dlga_lord_give_oath_10:lord_give_oath_go_on_2|Very well. You have given me your solemn oath, {playername}. May you uphold it always, with proper courage and devotion.
dlga_lord_give_oath_go_on_2:lord_give_oath_go_on_3|Let it be known that from this day forward, you are my sworn {reg59?follower:man} and vassal. I give you my protection and grant you the right to bear arms in my name, and I pledge that I shall not deprive you of your life, liberty or properties except by the lawful judgment of your peers or by the law and custom of the land.{reg1?

dlga_lord_give_conclude_2:close_window.2|I have great hopes for you {playername}. I know you shall prove yourself worthy of the trust I have placed in you.
dlga_lord_ask_enter_service:lord_enter_service_swear|Heh, a wise move, {playername}. With loyal service, a {reg59?woman:man} in my service could become wealthy and powerful, and our enemies... Well, our enemies are as wheat before a scythe. However, to enter my service you must first renounce all worldly oaths and bonds, and swear to serve only the {s5}.
dlga_lord_enter_service_swear:lord_enter_service_swear_accepted|I do so swear, {s65}.
dlga_lord_enter_service_swear:lord_enter_service_swear_denied|I need some time to think about this.
dlga_lord_enter_service_swear_denied:close_window|Are you having me on? I've no time for games, {playername}. Make up your mind and stop wasting my time.
dlga_lord_enter_service_swear_accepted:lord_enter_service_swear_accepted_2|Then it is my pleasure to welcome you to the service of my house. From this day on, {playername}, you are a soldier of the {s5} with all the duties and privileges that come with it.
dlga_lord_enter_service_swear_accepted_2:close_window|I charge you with rooting out and destroying the forces of our enemies wherever you may find them. Moreover, I will have special tasks for you from time to time, as may some of my other vassal lords. Serve, fight, and honour your oaths. These things will take you far, if you've a mind for promotion. May God grant us long lives and many victories to toast in my hall!
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service:lord_ask_leave_service_verify|Hrm. Has your oath become burdensome, {playername}? It is unusual to request release from homage, but in respect of your fine service, I will not hold you if you truly wish to end it. Though you would be sorely missed.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service:lord_ask_leave_service_verify.1|Release from homage? Hmm, perhaps it would be for the best... However, {playername}, you must be sure that release is what you desire. This is not a thing done lightly.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_verify:lord_ask_leave_service_2|It is something I must do, {s65}.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_verify:lord_ask_leave_service_giveup|You are right, {s65}. My place is here.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_giveup:lord_pretalk|I am pleased to hear it, {playername}. I hope you'll banish such unworthy thoughts from your mind from now on.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_2:lord_ask_leave_service_verify_again|Then you are sure? Also, be aware that if you leave my services, you will be surrendering to me all the fiefs which you hold in my name.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_verify_again:lord_ask_leave_service_3|Yes, {s65}.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_verify_again:lord_ask_leave_service_giveup|Of course not, {s65}. I am ever your loyal vassal.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_3:lord_ask_leave_service_end|As you wish. I hereby declare your oaths to be null and void. You will no longer hold land or titles in my name, and you are released from your duties to my house. You are free, {playername}.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_end:lord_ask_leave_service_end_2|Thank you, sir. It was an honour to serve you.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_end:lord_ask_leave_service_end_2.1|My thanks. It feels good to be {reg59?free:a free man} once again.
dlga_lord_ask_leave_service_end_2:close_window|Farewell then, {playername}, and good luck go with you.
dlga_lord_active_mission_1:lord_lend_companion_end|Oh, you want your companion back? I see...
dlga_lord_active_mission_1:lord_pretalk|{playername}, I must beg your patience. I still have need of your companion. Please return later when things have settled.
dlga_lord_active_mission_1:lord_active_mission_2|Yes, have you made any progress on it?
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_generic_mission_thank|Indeed. I brought you {reg1} {s1} as prisoners.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:capture_enemy_hero_thank|Oh, indeed. I've captured a lord from the {s13} for you.
dlga_capture_enemy_hero_thank:capture_enemy_hero_thank_2|Many thanks, my friend. He will serve very well for a bargain. You've done a fine work here. Please accept these {reg5} peningas for your help.
dlga_capture_enemy_hero_thank_2:lord_pretalk|Certainly, {s65}.
dlga_capture_enemy_hero_thank_2:lord_pretalk.1|It was nothing.
dlga_capture_enemy_hero_thank_2:lord_pretalk.2|Give me more of a challenge next time.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_raise_troops_thank|Indeed. I have raised {reg1} {s13}. You can take them.
dlga_lord_raise_troops_thank:lord_raise_troops_thank_2|These men may well turn the tide in my plans, {playername}. I am confident you've trained them well. My thanks and my compliments to you.
dlga_lord_raise_troops_thank_2:lord_pretalk|Well, the lads are at your command now, sir. I am sure you will take good care of them.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_collect_taxes_success|Here are all the taxes from {s3}. It comes up to {reg19} peningas.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_collect_taxes_half_success|Here are the taxes from {s3}. It comes up to {reg19} peningas.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_collect_taxes_fail|Unfortunately, a revolt broke up while I was collecting the taxes. I could only collect {reg19} peningas.
dlga_lord_collect_taxes_success:lord_pretalk|Well done, {playername}, very well done indeed! You were truly the right {reg59?person:man} for the job. I promised you a fifth of the taxes, so that amounts to {reg21} peningas. If you give me {reg20} peningas, you may keep the difference. A good result for everyone, eh?
dlga_lord_collect_taxes_half_success:lord_pretalk|What? Is this some scheme of yours, {playername}? That's less than half the taxes I'm owed! You have let them get away with murder as well as my money. What a farce! You can forget the money I promised you, I'm taking {reg20} peningas from what you collected, and you're lucky I'm leaving you a few coins for honour's sake.
dlga_lord_collect_taxes_fail:lord_pretalk|God, what a bloody mess you've gotten us into, {playername}. This could turn very ugly if I do not take immediate action. I certainly hope you're not here expecting to be paid for failure. Hand over my {reg19} peningas, if you please, and end our business together.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_hunt_down_fugitive_success|I found {s4} hiding in {s3} and gave him his punishment.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_hunt_down_fugitive_fail|I'm afraid he got away.
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_success:lord_hunt_down_fugitive_success_2|And we'll all be a lot better off without him! Thank you, {playername}, for removing this long-festering thorn from my side. 'Tis good to know you can be trusted to handle things with an appropriate level of tactfulness. A bounty I promised, and a bounty you shall have. {reg25} peningas and not a copper less!
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_success_2:lord_hunt_down_fugitive_reward_accept|Let me take the money, {s65}. Thank you.
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_success_2:lord_hunt_down_fugitive_reward_reject|This is blood money. I can't accept it.
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_reward_accept:lord_pretalk|Of course, {playername}. Here you are. Once again, you've my thanks for ridding me of that {s43}.
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_reward_reject:lord_pretalk|You are a {reg59?woman:man} for whom justice is its own reward, eh? As you wish it, {playername}, as you wish it. An honourable sentiment, to be true. Regardless, you've my thanks for ridding me of that {s43}.
dlga_lord_hunt_down_fugitive_fail:lord_pretalk|It is a sad day when that {s43} manages to avoid the hand of justice yet again. I thought you would be able to do this, {playername}. Clearly, I was wrong.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_active_mission_3|I am still working on it.
dlga_lord_active_mission_2:lord_mission_failed|I am afraid I won't be able to do this quest.
dlga_lord_active_mission_3:lord_pretalk|Good. Remember, I am counting on you.
dlga_lord_suggets_attack_enemy_castle3:lord_pretalk|That should be possible. Very well, we'll attack {s1}.
dlga_lord_propose_mercenary:lord_mercenary_service|As it happens, {playername}, I promised {s10} that I would hire a company of mercenaries for an upcoming campaign.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service:lord_mercenary_service_reject|I'm not interested, thank you.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service:lord_mercenary_service_accept|Aye, I'll join the {s9}.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service:lord_mercenary_elaborate_pay|I'm interested. Please tell me more.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_accept:lord_mercenary_service_verify|Perfect. Of course, you shall have to make a formal declaration of allegiance, and give your oath that you and your company will remain in service to the {s9} for a period of no less than one month.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_verify:lord_mercenary_service_verify_2|As you wish. Your enemies are my enemies.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_verify:lord_mercenary_service_reject|On second thought, forget it.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_verify_2:lord_mercenary_service_accept_3|That will do. You've made a wise choice, my friend. The {s9} does well by its loyal fighters. You will receive many rewards for your service.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_accept_3:lord_pretalk|Now, I suggest you prepare for a serious campaign. Train and equip your soldiers as best you can in the meantime, and respond quickly when you are summoned for duty.
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_reject:lord_pretalk|I'm very sorry to hear that. You'll find no better place than the {s9}, be sure of that.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_pay:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1|I can offer you a contract for one month. At the end of this period, it can be extended on a monthly basis. An initial sum of {reg12} peningas will be paid to you to seal the contract. After that, you'll receive wages from {s10} each week, according to the number and quality of the soldiers in your company. You still have your rights to battlefield loot and salvage, as well as any prisoners you capture. War can be very profitable at times...
dlga_lord_mercenary_service_elaborate_duty:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1|Duties... There are only a few, none of them difficult. The very first thing is to declare your allegiance. An oath of loyalty to our cause. Once that's done, you shall be required to fulfill certain responsibilities. You'll participate in military campaigns, fulfill any duties given to you by your commanders, and most of all you shall attack the enemies of our kingdom wherever you might find them.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_service_elaborate_duty|And what about my duties as a mercenary?
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_elaborate_castle|Can I hold on to any castles I take?
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_elaborate_banner|Can I fly my own banner?
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_elaborate_pay|How much will you pay me for my service?
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_service_accept|Sounds good. I wish to enter your service as a mercenary.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_1:lord_mercenary_service_reject|Apologies, my sword is not for hire.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_castle:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1|Only my loyal vassals can own lands and castles in my realm -- and all my vassals are men.\I am not inclined to depart from this tradition without a very good reason. If you prove yourself in battle, you can swear an oath of homage to me and become my vassal.\We may then discuss how you may obtain a castle.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_castle:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1.1|Hmm... Only loyal vassals of {s10} can own lands and castles. While kings will sometimes accept vassalage from men who prove themselves in battle, and grant them land, I have never heard of a king who gave fiefs to women. You had best discuss that issue with {s10} himself.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_castle:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1.2|Only my loyal vassals can own lands and castles in my realm. A mercenary cannot be trusted with such a responsibility. However, after serving for some time, you can swear homage to me and become my vassal. Then you will be rewarded with a fief.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_castle:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1.3|Only loyal vassals of {s10} can own lands and castles. You understand, a simple mercenary cannot be trusted with such responsibility. However, after serving for some time, you may earn the right to swear homage to {s10} and become his vassal. Then you would be rewarded with a fief.
dlga_lord_mercenary_elaborate_banner:lord_mercenary_elaborate_1|Only my noble vassals have the honour of carrying their own banners. However, after some time in mercenary service, you may earn the opportunity to swear homage to me and become my vassal, gaining the right to choose a banner of your own and fight under it in battle.

dlga_lord_request_mission_ask:lord_pretalk|You still haven't finished the last job I gave you, {playername}. You should be working on that, not asking me for other things to do.
dlga_lord_request_mission_ask:lord_pretalk.1|I don't have any other jobs for you right now.
dlga_lord_request_mission_ask:lord_pretalk.2|My lady, by the traditions of courtship, I should be offering my services to you. Unfortunately, I have little time right now, so I beg you to take this declaration of my esteem in its place.
dlga_lord_request_mission_ask:lord_tell_mission|A task?
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_sworn_vassal|There are some minor errands which I need completed, but it would be more appropriate to give them to one of my own men, not to a sworn vassal.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_sworn_vassal:lord_pretalk|If you are looking for action against our foes, you may join our attack on {s4}. The enemy may come in force to oppose us, so it is good to have as many men as possible.

dlga_lord_tell_mission_sworn_vassal:lord_pretalk.3|If a worthy task presents itself, however, I may have a favor to ask of you at a later date.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_quest_mmen|I have heard that my village {s5} was raided by some masterless men a while ago. I would appreciate it very much if you could track down these scoundrels. The village leader gave a vague description of their leader, and I have put a bounty together. If you can hunt them down and destroy them, I would most certainly be very happy about it.
dlga_lord_quest_mmen:lord_quest_mmen1|Aye, I'll do it.
dlga_lord_quest_mmen1:close_window|Very good. The band may not have lingered long in the area, but chances are that they will be spotted by other travellers on the road.
dlga_lord_quest_mmen:lord_mission_rejected|I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:destroy_lair_quest_brief|Yes -- there is something you can do for us. We have heard reports that a group of {s4} have established a hideout in this area, and have been attacking travellers. If you could find their lair and destroy it, we would be very grateful.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner|My {s11}, {s13}, has been taken prisoner by {s14} of the {s15}. Normally, honorable nobles will grant prisoners of gentle blood the privilege of parole, and treat them as honored guests so long as they give their word that they will not attempt to escape, until such time as a ransom can be paid. But {s14}, instead of granting {s13} parole, has consigned my {s11} to his dungeons -- no doubt in the hope that he can demand more from us.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_confirm|We need you to get my {s11} out of prison. You may be able to pay a ransom -- in which case we could cover your expenses, up to {reg1} peningas. If you have connections within {s24}, you may be able to use them to sneak him out. Or, you may try a more direct approach -- walk up to the gaoler, take the keys by force, and then fight your way out. Can you do this for us?
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_confirm:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_accepted|I can try.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_confirm:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_rejected|I don't think that I can help you.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_rejected:close_window|It would not have been an easy task. Perhaps we will find another way.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_accepted:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method|We are most grateful. Could I ask you how you were planning to proceed?
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_other_ideas:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method|Did you have any other ideas which you wished to discuss?
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_prisonbreak|I am thinking of breaking into the prison in {s24}, finding {s13}, and fighting my way out.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_siege|I am thinking of taking {s24} by storm.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_planning_end|I have done enough planning. Time to act!
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_planning_end:close_window|May the heavens protect you.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_prisonbreak:lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_prisonbreak_2|I had discussed this idea with some of my men. One could enter {s24}, either in disguise or openly, then walk up to the prison guard and try to take the keys by force. However, getting out may be difficult. The garrison may be slow to react, but even so, you are likely to find yourself fighting a half dozen or more of the enemy at once, with limited space in which to maneuver. If you can fight your way past them, though, you can probably get out.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_prisonbreak_2:lord_mission_rescue_other_ideas|You may find it useful to create a distraction, to divert the attention of some of the garrison. If you have any connections in the villages near {s24}, this may be a time to put them to use.
dlga_lord_mission_rescue_prisoner_method_siege:lord_mission_rescue_other_ideas|Well, that is certainly the most direct approach.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_deliver_message|I need to send a letter to {s13} who should be currently at {s4}. If you will be heading towards there, would you deliver it to him? The letter needs to be in his hands in {reg1} days.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message:lord_mission_deliver_message_accepted|Certainly, I intend to pass by {s4} and it would be no trouble.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message:lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected|I doubt I'll be seeing {s13} anytime soon, {s65}. You'd best send it with someone else.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message:lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely|I am no errand boy, sir. Hire a courier for your trivialities.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_accepted:close_window|I appreciate it, {playername}. Here's the letter, and a small sum to cover your travel expenses. Give my regards to {s13} when you see him.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected:lord_pretalk|Ah, all right then. Well, I am sure I will find someone else.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely:lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely_2|Hmm, is this how you respond to a polite request for a small favor? A poor show, {playername}. I didn't know you would take offence.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely_2:lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely_3|Then you shall know better from now on.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely_2:lord_mission_deliver_message_accepted|Forgive my temper, {s65}. I'll deliver your letter.
dlga_lord_mission_deliver_message_rejected_rudely_3:close_window|All right, I will remember that.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_deliver_message.1|I need to deliver a letter to {s13} of {s15}, who must be at {s4} currently. If you are going towards there, would you deliver my letter to him? The letter needs to reach him in {reg1} days.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told|Hmm, yes, I may need your help. The local Bishop here at {s22} wants to inspect the monastery at {s14}. Normally, I would put a small detachment to accompany him, but I'm really busy here with my estates. Would you consider escorting him to his destination?
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told.1|Hmm, yes. I have heard from the port master in Ribe that the monastery at {s14} has a considerable amount of silver stored. I was going to pay those monks a visit myself, but I'm currently occupied with some other things. So here is what I propose: if you go there and bring me {reg33} peningas, you can keep the rest. Do we have a deal?
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told.2|There is a small thing... My {s17} {s13} is due for a visit to her relatives at {s14}. The visit has been postponed several times already with all the trouble on the roads, but this time she is adamant about going. So, I want to make sure that at least she is well guarded. I trust you well, {playername}, so I would be very grateful if you could escort her to {s14} to make sure she arrives safe and sound.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_told|A group of bandits has taken refuge in my village of {s15}. They are plundering nearby farms, and getting rich and fat stealing my taxes and feasting on my cattle. I'd like nothing better than to go out there and teach them a lesson, but I have my hands full at the moment, so I can't do anything about it.
dlga_lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_told:lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_accepted|Worry not, I can go to {s15} and deal with these scum for you.
dlga_lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_told:lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_rejected|You shall have to find help elsewhere. I am too busy.
dlga_lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_accepted:close_window|Will you do that? Know that, I will be grateful to you. Here is some money for the expenses of your campaign. Make an example of those {s43}s.
dlga_lord_mission_deal_with_bandits_rejected:lord_pretalk|Ah... Very well then, forget I brought it up.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_raise_troops|No lord should have to admit this, {playername}, but I was inspecting my soldiers the other day and there are men here who don't know which end of a sword to hold. {!}{s43}.You are a warrior of renown, {playername}. Will you train some troops for me? I would be grateful to you.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_raise_troops:lord_tell_mission_raise_troops_2|How many men do you need?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_raise_troops_2:lord_mission_raise_troops_told|If you can raise {reg1} {s14} and bring them to me, that will probably be enough.
dlga_lord_mission_raise_troops_told:lord_mission_raise_troops_accepted|Of course, {s65}. Give me {reg1} fresh recruits and I'll train them to be {s14}.
dlga_lord_mission_raise_troops_told:lord_mission_raise_troops_rejected|I am too busy these days to train anyone.
dlga_lord_mission_raise_troops_accepted:close_window|You've taken a weight off my shoulders, {playername}. I shall tell my sergeants to send you the recruits and attach them to your command. Also, I'll advance you some money to help with expenses. Here, this purse should do it. Thank you for your help.
dlga_lord_mission_raise_troops_rejected:lord_pretalk|Oh, of course. I had expected as much. Well, good luck to you then.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_collect_taxes_told|You probably know that I am the lord of the {reg9?town:village} of {s3}. However, it has been months since {s3} has delivered the taxes and rents due me as its rightful lord. Apparently, the populace there has grown unruly lately and I need someone to go there and remind them of their obligations. And to... persuade them if they won't listen. If you go there and raise the taxes they owe me, I will grant you one-fifth of everything you collect.
dlga_lord_mission_collect_taxes_told:lord_mission_collect_taxes_accepted|A fair offer, {s65}. We have an agreement.
dlga_lord_mission_collect_taxes_told:lord_mission_collect_taxes_rejected|Forgive me. I don't have the time.
dlga_lord_mission_collect_taxes_accepted:close_window|Welcome news, {playername}. I will entrust this matter to you. Remember, those {reg9?townsmen:peasants} are foxy beasts, they will make every excuse not to pay me my rightful incomes. Do not let them fool you.
dlga_lord_mission_collect_taxes_rejected:lord_pretalk|Oh, yes. Well, good luck to you then.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_told|I have something you could help with, an issue with the lawless villain known as {s4}. He murdered one of my men and has been on the run from his judgment ever since. I can't let him get away with avoiding justice, so I've put a bounty of {reg25} peningas on his head. Friends of the murdered man reckon that this assassin may have taken refuge with his kinsmen in {s3}. You might be able to hunt him down and give him what he deserves, and claim the bounty for yourself.
dlga_lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_told:lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_accepted|Then I will hunt him down and execute the law.
dlga_lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_told:lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_rejected|I am too busy to go after him at the moment.
dlga_lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_accepted:close_window|That's excellent, {playername}. I will be grateful to you, and so will the family of the man he murdered. And of course, the bounty on his head will be yours if you can get him. Well, good hunting to you.
dlga_lord_mission_hunt_down_fugitive_rejected:lord_pretalk|As you wish, {playername}. I suppose there are plenty of bounty hunters around to get the job done...
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant|The wretched truth is that I owe a considerable sum of money to one of the merchants here in {s3}. I've no intention of paying it back, of course, but that loud-mouthed fool is making a terrible fuss about it. He even had the audacity to come and threaten me -- me! -- with a public letter of complaint to others traders and stockers. Why, he'd ruin my good reputation! So I need a {reg59?woman:man} I can trust, someone who will guarantee the man's silence. For good.
dlga_lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant:lord_mission_accepted_kill_local_merchant|Worry not. He shan't breathe a word.
dlga_lord_mission_told_kill_local_merchant:lord_mission_rejected|I'm no common murderer, sir. Find someone else for your dirty job.
dlga_lord_mission_accepted_kill_local_merchant:close_window|Very good. I trust in your skill and discretion, {playername}. Do not disappoint me. Go now and wait for my word, I'll send you a message telling when and where you can catch the merchant. Dispose of him for me and I shall reward you generously.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town|I have a sensitive matter that needs tending to, {playername}, and no trustworthy retainers to take care of it. The fact is that I have a spy in {s13} to keep an eye on things for me, and report anything that might warrant my attention. Every week I send someone to collect the spy's reports and bring them back to me. The job's yours if you wish it.
dlga_lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted|I don't mind a bit of skullduggery. Count me in.
dlga_lord_mission_told_meet_spy_in_enemy_town:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_rejected|I must decline. This cloak-and-dagger work isn't fit for me.
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Excellent! Make your way to {s13} as soon as you can, the spy will be waiting.
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_2|{s13} is heavily defended. How can I get close without being noticed?
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_2:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|You shall have to use stealth. Take care to avoid enemy strongholds, villages and patrols, and don't bring too many men with you. If you fail to sneak in the first time, give it a while for the garrison to lower its guard again, or you may have a difficult time infiltrating the town.
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_3|How will I recognise the spy?
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_3:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Once you get to {s13} you must talk to the locals, the spy will be one of them. If you think you've found the spy, say the phrase '{s11}' The spy will respond with the phrase '{s12}' Thus you will know the other, and {reg7?she:he} will give you any information {reg7?she:he}'s gathered in my service.
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_4|Will I be paid?
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_4:quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_response|Of course, I have plenty of silver in my coffers for loyal {reg59?women:men} like you. Do well by me, {playername}, and you'll rise high.

dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_accepted_end:lord_pretalk|Good luck, {playername}. Remember, the secret phrase is '{s11}' The counterphrase is '{s12}' Bring any reports back to me, and I'll compensate you for your trouble.
dlga_quest_meet_spy_in_enemy_town_rejected:lord_pretalk|As you wish, {playername}, but I strongly advise you to forget anything I told you about any spies. They do not exist, have never existed, and no one will ever find them. Remember that.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war|This peace with the {s13} ill suits me, {playername}. We've let those swine have their way for far too long. Now they get stronger with each passing and their arrogance knows no bounds. I say, we must wage war on them before it's too late! Unfortunately, some of the bleeding hearts among our realm's lords are blocking a possible declaration of war. Witless cowards with no stomach for blood.
dlga_lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war:lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_2|You are right, {s65}, but what can we do?
dlga_lord_mission_told_raid_caravan_to_start_war:quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_1|I disagree, sir. It is better that there be peace.
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_2:lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3|Ah, 'tis good to hear someone who understands! As a matter of fact, there is something we can do, {playername}. A little bit of provocation... If one of our war parties managed to enter their territory and pillage one of their caravans, or raided one of their villages, and perhaps left behind a little token or two of the {s14}, they would have ample cause to declare war on us. And then, well, even the cowards among us must rise to defend themselves. So what do you say? Are you interested?
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3:quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted|An excellent plan. Count me in.
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_3:lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_4|Why don't you do that yourself?
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_4:lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5|Well, {playername}, some of the lords in our kingdom won't like the idea of someone inciting a war without their consent. They are already looking for an excuse to get at me. If I were to do this, they would make me pay for it dearly. You, on the other hand, are young, well liked and daring, so you might just get away with it. And of course, I will back you up and defend your actions against any potential opponents. All in all, a few lords might be upset by your actions, but I am sure that you won't be bothered with that.
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5:quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted|That seems reasonable. I am willing to do this.
dlga_lord_mission_tell_raid_caravan_to_start_war_5:quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_2|I don't like this. Find yourself someone else to take the blame for your schemes.
dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_accepted:close_window|Very good! A raid on a caravan, or, if you can't manage that, an attack on one of their villages, should do the trick. Now, good luck and good hunting. Go set the borders aflame!
dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_1:lord_pretalk|Ah, you think so? But how long will your precious peace last? Not long, believe me.
dlga_quest_raid_caravan_to_start_war_rejected_2:lord_pretalk|Hm. As you wish, {playername}. I thought you had some fire in you, but it seems I was wrong.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told.3|Well, some of the serfs working my fields in {s4} have run away. The ungrateful swine, I let them plough my fields and rent my cottages, and this is how they repay me! From what I've been hearing, they're running to {s3} as fast as they can, and have split up into three groups to try and avoid capture. I want you to capture all three groups and fetch them back to {s4} by whatever means necessary. I should really have them hanged for attempting to escape, but we need hands for the upcoming harvest, so I'll let them go off this time with a good beating.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_follow_spy|I have good information that a man in this very town is actually an enemy spy. He should be seized and hanged for his impudence, but we also believe that very soon he will leave town to meet with his master, the man to whom the spy feeds all his little whispers. The spy himself is of little import, but the master is a dangerous man, and could tell us a great deal if we could only get our hands on him...
dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy:lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2|I want you to wait here until the spy leaves town. Then you must follow him, stealthily, to the meeting place. You must take absolute care not to be seen by the spy on your way; else he may suspect foul play and turn back. When the master appears, you must ambush and arrest them and bring the pair back to me. Alive, if you please.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2:lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_accepted|I'll do it, {s65}.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_2:lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_rejected|No, this skulking is not for me.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_accepted:close_window|Good, I'm sure you'll do a fine job of it. One of my men will point the spy out to you when he leaves, so you will know the man to follow. Remember, I want them both, and I want them alive.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_follow_spy_rejected:lord_pretalk|A shame. Well, carry on as you were, {playername}...
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero|There is a difficult job I need done, {playername}, and you may be the {reg59?one:man} who can carry it off. I need someone to capture one of the noble lords of the {s13} and bring him to me. Afterwards, I'll be able to exchange him in return for a relative of mine held by the {s13}. It is a simple enough job, but whomever you choose will be guarded by an elite band of personal retainers. Are you up for a fight?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero:lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_accepted|Consider it done, {s65}.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero:lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_rejected|I must refuse, {s65}. I am not a kidnapper.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_accepted:close_window|I like your spirit! Go and bring me one of our enemies, and I'll toast your name in my hall when you return! And reward you for your efforts, of course...
dlga_lord_tell_mission_capture_enemy_hero_rejected:lord_pretalk|Clearly, you lack the mettle I had thought you possessed. Very well, {playername}, I will find someone else.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_lend_companion|I don't have a job for you right now, but your companion {s3} is a skilled {reg3?lass:fellow}, and I need someone with {reg3?her:his} talents. Will you lend {reg3?her:him} to me for a while?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion:lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_2|How long will you need {reg3?her:him}?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_2:lord_mission_lend_companion_told|Just a few days, a week at most.
dlga_lord_mission_lend_companion_told:lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_accepted|Then I will leave {s3} with you for one week.
dlga_lord_mission_lend_companion_told:lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_rejected|I am sorry, but I cannot do without {s3} for a whole week.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_accepted:close_window|I cannot thank you enough, {playername}. Worry not, your companion shall be returned to you with due haste.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_lend_companion_rejected:lord_pretalk|Well, that's damned unfortunate, but I suppose I cannot force you or {s3} to agree. I shall have to make do without.
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_collect_debt|Some time ago, I loaned out a considerable sum of money to {s3}. {reg4} peningas, to be precise. He was supposed to pay it back within a month but I haven't received a copper from him since. That was months ago. If you could collect the debt from him on my behalf, I would be grateful indeed. I would even let you keep one fifth of the money for your trouble. What do you say?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt:lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_2|Do you know where I can find {s3}, {s65}?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_2:lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3|If you leave now, you should be able to find him at {s4}. I've no doubt that he will be suitably embarrassed by his conduct and give you all the money he owes me.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3:lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_accepted|Then I will talk to {s3} on your behalf.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_3:lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_rejected|Forgive me, {s65}, but I doubt I would be more successful than you would.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_accepted:close_window|You made me very happy by accepting this {playername}. Please, talk to {s3} and don't leave him without my money.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_collect_debt_rejected:lord_pretalk|Perhaps not, {playername}. I suppose I'm never getting that money back...
dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander|I tell you, that blubbering fool {s13} is not fit to rule {s14}. God knows he would be divested of his lands in an instant were it not for one of his loyal vassals, {s15}. As long as he has his vassal aiding him, it will be a difficult job beating him. So I need to get {s15} out of the picture, and I have a plan just to do that... With your help, naturally.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_2|{s66}, I am all ears.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|I don't wish to involve myself in anything dishonourable against {s15}.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected:lord_pretalk|Dishonourable? Bah! I was hoping I could count on you, {playername}, but you've shown me what a fool I was. I shall have to find someone whose loyalty I can trust.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_2:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3|I have written a fake letter to {s15}, bearing my own seal, which implicates him in a conspiracy with us to stage a coup in {s14}, in my favour. If we can make {s13} believe the letter is genuine, he will deal with {s15} very swiftly. Of course, the challenge there is to convince {s13} that the letter is indeed real...
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_4|Please continue, {s65}...
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_3:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|No, I will not sully myself with this dishonourable scheme.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_4:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_5|This is where you come into play. You'll take the letter to {s14}, then give it to one of your soldiers and instruct him to take it to {s15}. I will have one of my spies inform the town garrison so that your man will be arrested on his way. The guards will then find the letter and take it to {s13}. They'll torture your man, of course, to try and get the truth out of him, but all he knows is that you ordered the letter to be delivered to {s15} under the utmost secrecy. {s13} knows you serve me, and the fool will certainly believe the whole charade.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_5:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_7|Is that all?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_7:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8|There is one more thing... Your messenger must be someone trustworthy. If you sent the letter with a simple peasant, someone expendable, {s13} might suspect a plot. He may have the wits of a snail, but even a snail can see the obvious. Give the letter to someone of rank. One of your {s9}, perhaps.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_9|What? I can't send one of my trusted {s9} to his death!
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_8:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin|Then a {s8} it will be.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_9:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10|Come now, {playername}. There is a place for sentimentality, but this is not it. Believe me, you shall be generously compensated, and what is the purpose of soldiers if not to die at our say-so?
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin|A {s8} it is.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_10:lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_rejected|No, I'll not sacrifice one of my chosen men.
dlga_lord_tell_mission_incriminate_commander_fin:lord_pretalk|I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that, {playername}. You are removing one of the greatest obstacles in my path.

dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told.4|A group of my soldiers was captured in a recent skirmish with the enemy. Thankfully, we have a mutual agreement of prisoner exchange, and they will release my men, but they want us to give them prisoners of equal rank and number. Prisoners I don't currently have.

dlga_lord_tell_mission:lord_pretalk|No, {playername}, I do not need your help at this time.
dlga_lord_mission_told:lord_mission_accepted|You can count on me, {s65}.

dlga_lord_offer_smth1a:lord_offer_smth1b|Well, that would depend. Which one do you have in mind?
dlga_lord_offer_smth1b:lord_pretalk|Never mind.
dlga_lord_offer_smth2c:lord_offer_smth3c|I suppose, if you set me free, I can allow you to collect half the rents from {s33} for about four weeks.
dlga_lord_offer_smth2c:lord_talk|I think you're out of your mind. I prefer the comforts here, small though they be, to paying such a price.

dlga_lord_leave_give_quest:enemy_lord_tell_mission|I am listening.
dlga_enemy_lord_tell_mission:lord_mission_told|I have a friend here, an old warrior, who is very sick. Pestilence has infected an old battle wound. Unless a surgeon sees him soon, he will surely die. This man is dear to me, {playername}, but he's also stubborn as a hog and refuses to have anyone look at his injury because he doesn't trust the physicians here. I have heard that you've a capable surgeon with you. If you would let your surgeon come here and have a look, {reg3?she:he} may be able to convince him to give his consent to an operation. Please, I will be deeply indebted to you if you grant me this request.
dlga_lord_leave_prison:close_window|We'll meet again.
dlga_lord_leave:close_window|Farewell, my lady. I shall remain your most ardent admirer.
dlga_lord_leave:close_window.1|Of course, {playername}. Farewell.
dlga_lord_leave:close_window.2|Good journeys to you, {playername}.
dlga_lord_leave:close_window.3|Yes, yes. Farewell.
dlga_lord_leave:close_window.4|We will meet again.
dlga_member_chat:lady_journey_1|Are you enjoying the journey, {s65}?
dlga_lady_journey_1:close_window|I am doing quite fine, {playername}. Thank you for your concern.
dlga_start:spouse_talk|Yes, my husband?
dlga_spouse_talk:minister_issues|As you are my chief minister, I wish to speak to about affairs of state.
dlga_spouse_talk:offer_gift_quest_complete|I have acquired everything for {s4}'s gift.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_cancel_political_quest|Let's abandon our plan to {s10}.
dlga_spouse_cancel_political_quest:spouse_cancel_political_quest_confirm|Are you sure you want to drop that idea?
dlga_spouse_cancel_political_quest_confirm:spouse_pretalk|Yes, I am sure. Let's abandon that idea.
dlga_spouse_cancel_political_quest_confirm:spouse_pretalk.1|Actually, never mind.
dlga_spouse_talk:combined_political_quests|Let us think of a way to improve our standing in this realm.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_organize_feast|I was thinking that perhaps we could host a feast.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_household_possessions|Let us take inventory of our household possessions.
dlga_spouse_household_possessions:spouse_pretalk|Anyway, that is the content of our larder.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_descendescia_reply|How are my offspring?
dlga_spouse_descendescia_reply:spouse_descendescia_reply2|Your offspring grow healthy and strong. We have {reg3?{reg5} boys:one boy}.
dlga_spouse_descendescia_reply:spouse_descendescia_reply2.1|Your offspring grow healthy and strong. We have {reg5?{reg3} girls:one girl}.
dlga_spouse_descendescia_reply:spouse_descendescia_reply2.2|Your offspring grow healthy and strong. We have {reg4?{reg5} boys:one boy} and {reg2?{reg3} girls:one girl}.
dlga_spouse_descendescia_reply:spouse_pretalk|Your offspring? We don't have offspring.
dlga_spouse_descendescia_reply2:spouse_pretalk|Very well. Take care of them and make sure they lack for nothing.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_show_hijo2|I have had a child!
dlga_spouse_show_hijo3:spouse_pretalk|I am so happy!
dlga_spouse_show_hijo3:spouse_pretalk.1|Very well.
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_show_hijo|How does the mother of my child fare?
dlga_spouse_talk:spouse_action_h1|I want to show love to my spouse.
dlga_spouse_action_h1:spouse_action_h2|Of course! What did you have in mind?
dlga_spouse_action_h2:spouse_action_h3|A romantic meal and what follows after.
dlga_spouse_action_h2:spouse_regalocasual|I want to give this beautiful ring, this gold bracelet and this necklace to my wife (2.000 peningas)
dlga_spouse_action_h2:close_window|Actually, I've changed my mind
dlga_spouse_regalocasual:close_window|Oh, {playername}! You're so generous.
dlga_spouse_action_h3:spouse_nocheloca|I look forward to that, {playername}. I will let the servants buy horse meat and wine. I love being a mother.
dlga_spouse_action_h3:spouse_nocheloca_2|I would like that. I will let the servants buy a chicken and mead, but it is not time to have a child. First, we need to know each other better.
dlga_spouse_action_h3:close_window|Is that some sort of a joke? I'm too young.^^[You need to improve relation with your wife.]
dlga_spouse_action_h3:close_window.1|I am so tired today.^^[You need to improve relation with your wife.]
dlga_spouse_action_h3:close_window.2|Ha! some other day.^^[You need to improve relation with your wife.]
dlga_spouse_nocheloca:spouse_action_h4|[You eat dinner in the company of your wife. You both get to know one another a little better.^Finally, your wife takes your hand and leads you to the bedroom.]
dlga_spouse_action_h4:close_window|[Time flies away from war, fear and the rigors of travel... In nine months, you will have a child.]
dlga_spouse_nocheloca_2:close_window|[You eat dinner in the company of your wife. You both get to know one another a little better. When the evening ends, your wife says goodbye to you before you can propose anything.]
dlga_spouse_talk:close_window|We shall speak later, my {reg59?husband:wife}.
dlga_wedding_ceremony_bride_vow:wedding_ceremony_player_vow|My husband, I hereby pledge to be your wife, to stand with you in good times and bad. May the heavens smile upon us and bless us with children, livestock, and land.
dlga_wedding_ceremony_player_vow:wedding_ceremony_vows_complete|I pledge the same. Let us be husband and wife.
dlga_wedding_ceremony_player_vow:close_window|Wait -- hold on... I'm not quite ready for this.
dlga_wedding_ceremony_vows_complete:close_window|I now declare you and {s3} to be husband and wife. Go now to the chamber prepared for you, and we shall make arrangements for your bride to join you in your hall in {s11}.
dlga_spouse_pretalk:spouse_talk|Is there anything else, my {reg59?wife:husband}?
dlga_spouse_organize_feast:spouse_pretalk|A splendid idea, my {reg59?wife:husband}. However, let us wait for the current feast here to conclude, before organizing another.
dlga_spouse_organize_feast:spouse_pretalk.1|A splendid idea, my {reg59?wife:husband}. However, we must establish a court before hosting a feast.
dlga_spouse_organize_feast:spouse_pretalk.2|A splendid idea, my {reg59?wife:husband}. However, our realm has recently had a feast. Perhaps we should wait another {reg3} days before we organize another one.
dlga_spouse_organize_feast:spouse_evaluate_larder_for_feast|A splendid idea, my {reg59?wife:husband}. However, not to insult our guests, we must make sure that we can provide a large and varied repast, for the lords, their families, and their retinues. All told, we should count on a couple of hundred mouths to feed, over several days. Let us take an inventory of our household possessions...
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm:spouse_feast_added_items|Let me add more items to our storehouses
dlga_spouse_feast_added_items:spouse_evaluate_larder_for_feast|All right, let me re-evaluate what is there...
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm:spouse_feast_confirm_yes|Let us dispatch the invitations
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm:spouse_pretalk|Let us wait, then
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm_yes:spouse_pretalk|I shall send word, then, that we will host a feast as soon as conditions in the realm permit. You perhaps should continue to stock our larder, so that we may do justice to our reputation for hospitality.
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm_yes:spouse_pretalk.1|Very well, then. Let the feast begin immediately at our court {reg4?here:} in {s9}. You perhaps should continue to stock our larder, so that we may do justice to our reputation for hospitality. You may declare the feast to be concluded at any time, either by beginning a campaign or by letting it be known that the vassals can return to their homes.
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm_yes:spouse_pretalk.2|Very well, then. Let the feast begin immediately in {s9}. You perhaps should continue to stock our larder, so that we may do justice to our reputation for hospitality. You may declare the feast to be concluded at any time, either by beginning a campaign or by letting it be known that the vassals can return to their homes.
dlga_spouse_feast_confirm_yes:spouse_pretalk.3|Unfortunately, there are no suitable venues available to host the feast.
dlga_start:close_window.64|How wonderful it is... In a short while, we shall be married! However, I should point out that, in the remaining few days, it is not customary for us to speak too much together.
dlga_start:close_window.65|Em, {playername}, you might not be used to our wedding customs, but I had hoped that someone would tell you... Speak first to my {s11}, {s4}.
dlga_start:close_window.66|I do not know where to find my {s11} {s10}, who by tradition should preside over our wedding. Perhaps we should wait until he can be found...
dlga_start:close_window.67|The honorable {s12} has agreed to allow us to return home to our families. We shall be departing shortly.
dlga_start:kingdom_lady_captive|So great is my loneliness! How I miss my family!
dlga_start:kingdom_lady_captive.1|You are a cad, {reg59?madame:sir}, to hold a lady like this...
dlga_start:kingdom_lady_captive.2|It is strange. On occasion, you have shown me such kindness, and yet you continue to hold me here against my will.
dlga_start:kingdom_lady_captive.3|Why haven't my family paid my ransom? You may hold me as prisoner, but it seems that you care for me more than they do!
dlga_lady_stranded_next:close_window|Greetings, {reg59?my lady:sir}. The tides of war have left me stranded here in this fortress, but I will shortly be departing.
dlga_start:lady_talk_refugee|{playername} -- I assume that you, as a {reg59?lady:man} of honor, will accord gentle-born ladies such as us the right to return to our families, and not demand a ransom.
dlga_start:escort_bishop_succeeded|Thank you for escorting me here, my {reg59?daughter:son}. Please accept this small gift as a token of my gratitude.
dlga_start:lady_escort_lady_succeeded|Thank you for escorting me here, {playername}. Please accept this gift as a token of my gratitude. I hope we shall meet again sometime in the future.
dlga_lady_escort_lady_succeeded:close_window|It was an honor to serve you, {s65}.
dlga_escort_bishop_succeeded:close_window|It was an honor to serve you, Father.
dlga_start:close_window.68|We will shortly depart{s5}. It is good to know that some people in this world retain a sense of honor.
dlga_lady_talk_refugee:close_window|Of course, my lady
dlga_lady_talk_refugee:lady_captive_talk|You assume wrong, my lady!
dlga_lady_captive_talk:lady_captive_confirm|What? What infamy is this?
dlga_lady_captive_confirm:close_window|My apologies - you must have misunderstood me. Of course, you may leave.
dlga_lady_captive_confirm:close_window.1|Contact your family to arrange for a ransom, my lady.
dlga_kingdom_lady_captive:close_window|Then write to your family, and ask them to hurry up with the ransom!
dlga_kingdom_lady_captive:close_window.1|I have changed my mind. You are free to go
dlga_start:rescue_prisoner_succeed_1|I'm happy to tell you, {playername}, that my 'ghost' ex-lover doesn't bother me anymore. You really did it, {playername}! You're my new hero!
dlga_start:close_window.69|Oh, {playername}, what a shame! You were beaten by a ghost and yet have the nerve to show up here? My life is ruined because of you! Leave!
dlga_start:close_window.70|Well, {playername}, you fought a duel with {s10} and lost. According to our custom and tradition, I should no longer receive you. Farewell, {playername}.
dlga_start:lady_duel_lost|Oh, {playername}, I have heard of your duel with {s10}. I wish now that you had never fought him, for our honor and tradition demand that, having lost to him, you must now break off your suit with me. Farewell, {playername}.
dlga_lady_duel_lost:close_window|Very well, we must do as tradition demands... Farewell, my lady.
dlga_lady_duel_lost:lady_duel_lost_flaunt_conventions|Let honor and tradition hang!
dlga_lady_duel_lost_flaunt_conventions:close_window|Oh, {playername}! Although people will talk, it would so break my heart to be able to see you no longer. We shall ignore this silly, cruel tradition.
dlga_lady_duel_lost_flaunt_conventions:close_window.1|No, {playername}, I cannot afford to fritter away my good name, and neither can you.
dlga_start:lady_start|Oh, {playername}, I have heard that you won your duel with {s10}. I am grateful that you have delivered me from that man's attentions!
dlga_start:lady_start.1|Well, {playername}, you won your duel with {s10}. Clearly, he was not worthy of my affections.
dlga_lady_duel_rep_1:lady_start|Well, {playername}, you won your duel with {s10}. Oh, such foolishness, that men should fight over me! Sigh... But it is a bit romantic, I suppose.
dlga_lady_duel_rep_2:lady_start|Well, {playername}, you won your duel with {s10}. Honor now demands that he and I no longer meet... I was fond of him, you know. You did me no service by fighting him, sir.
dlga_start:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_1|My dear {playername}, how joyous to see you again! I heard you gave that vile {s13} a well-deserved lesson. I hope he never forgets his humiliation. I've a reward for you, but I fear it's little compared to what you've done for me.
dlga_lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_1:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_2|Oh, it will just have to do.
dlga_lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_1:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_2.1|{s66}, this is far too much!
dlga_lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_1:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_succeeded_2.2|Please, {s65}, no reward is necessary.
dlga_start:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_failed|I was told that you sought satisfaction from {s13} to prove my innocence, {playername}. It was a fine gesture, and I thank you for your efforts.
dlga_lady_qst_duel_for_lady_failed:lady_qst_duel_for_lady_failed_2|I beg your forgiveness for my defeat, {s65}...
dlga_lady_qst_duel_for_lady_failed_2:lady_pretalk|It matters not, dear {playername}. You tried. The truth cannot be proven at the point of a sword, but you willingly put your life at stake for my honour. That alone will convince many of my innocence.
dlga_start:lady_start.2|Ah {playername} - you must have received my message. How happy I am that you could come!
dlga_start:lady_proposal_pending|{playername} - is there any word from my family?
dlga_start:lady_betrothed|I hear that my {s11} has refused your request to marry me. Does that mean that we must part?
dlga_start:lady_generic_mission_succeeded|Oh, {playername}, you brought him back to me! Thank you ever so much for rescuing my {s11}. Please, take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
dlga_start:rescue_prisoner_succeed_1.1|Oh, {playername}, you brought him back to me! Thank you ever so much for rescuing my {s11}. Please, take this as some small repayment for your noble deed.
dlga_rescue_prisoner_succeed_1:lady_pretalk|Always an honour to serve, {s65}.
dlga_start:lady_meet_end|You must be {playername}. We have just had the honor of watching you distinguish yourself in the recent tournament{s8}.
dlga_start:lady_meet_end.1|You must be {playername}. My {s15} {s16} has spoken most highly of you. I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
dlga_start:lady_premeet|I say, you don't look familiar...
dlga_start:close_window.71|Ah, {playername}. How good it is to see you again. However, I believe that I am required elsewhere.
dlga_start:lady_start.3|{playername} -- how good it is to see you. (Whispers:) I still remember your visits fondly.
dlga_start:lady_meet_end.2|Ah, {playername}. How splendid it was to see you distinguish yourself in the recent tournament.
dlga_lady_start:lady_betrothed|I have sad news. I have become betrothed to {s5} -- against my will, I should say! Oh, {playername}, I would so much rather be wed to you!
dlga_lady_start:lady_betrothed.1|Good {playername} -- I have become betrothed to {s5}. It is now no longer seemly for us to see each other like this.
dlga_lady_start:lady_other_suitor|I must tell you -- there is another lord who has been paying me attentions, although I cannot abide him. I fear he has designs on me, and may try to force me to wed against my will.
dlga_lady_start:lady_talk|{s11}It is probably not suitable for us to tarry too long here in conversation, but I would hope to see you again soon.
dlga_lady_start:lady_talk.2|I was planning to retire for a little while, but perhaps we may have a chance to speak later...
dlga_lady_start:lady_talk.3|It is so delightful to have a chance to spend some time together.{s12}
dlga_lady_start:lady_talk.4|What brings you here today?
dlga_lady_proposal_pending:close_window|No word so far...
dlga_lady_proposal_pending:lady_proposal_pending_end|On second thought, now is not the time for us to marry
dlga_lady_betrothed:lady_suggest_elope|Never! We must elope together at once!
dlga_lady_betrothed:lady_pretalk|Perhaps I may still be able to change your {s11}'s mind
dlga_lady_betrothed:lady_conclude_relationship|So be it -- let us then part
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_conclude_relationship|Good {playername} -- you are a good and kind man, but a lady cannot defy her family. Such things are not done!
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_other_suitor|Sir -- as you may know, I have been entertaining offers from a number of gentlemen such as yourself. I am not yet at a stage where I can commit to any of them.
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_conclude_relationship.1|Ah {playername}, you must realize. You are still finding your way in the world. I have great affection for you, {playername}, but I will not consign myself to obscurity.
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_conclude_relationship.2|Ah {playername}, although you are kind to me, I am not certain enough of your moral fiber to risk such a thing. Although I bare little affection for my husband, it would be a weighty thing to go against my family's wishes, and I am not certain enough of you to take that step.
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_conclude_relationship.3|Good {playername} -- to elope would be to throw away my ties with my family, which are everything to me! I have a considerable affection for you, but I am not sure that I am prepared to risk that.
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_conclude_relationship.4|Good {playername} -- I am not used to the hardships of campaigning as you are. I want a home to call my own. If you were lord of a castle or town with a great hall, I would gladly go there as your wife, to be mistress of the household. But I do not wish to live like a hunted animal.
dlga_lady_suggest_elope:lady_elope_agree|Elope with you? Yes -- we could do that. It is a great step to defy my family -- but a loveless marriage, and life without you, might be a far worse thing! But be warned -- this will be a terrible blow to my {s11}'s prestige, and he will do everything in his power to bring you down.
dlga_lady_elope_agree:lady_elope_agree_nurse|Quickly, then! There is no time to lose.
dlga_lady_elope_agree:close_window|Everything in his power, you say? Em... Let me think about this...
dlga_lady_elope_agree_nurse:lady_elope_agree_lady_vows|Your lordship... Your ladyship... Would you like me to witness your exchange of vows?
dlga_lady_elope_agree_lady_vows:lady_elope_agree_nurse_2|Yes, do that. For my part, I make the following vow: I, {s4}, do swear that I accept {playername} as my husband, according to the ancient law and custom of our land...
dlga_lady_elope_agree_nurse_2:lady_elope_agree_player_vows|Very good. Do you, {playername}, swear similarly to accept {s4} as your wife?
dlga_lady_elope_agree_player_vows:close_window|I do.
dlga_lady_elope_agree_player_vows:close_window.1|Eh, what? This is all moving too fast...
dlga_lady_elope_agree:lady_conclude_relationship|Oh, really? My dear -- I could never separate a lady from her family like that...
dlga_lady_conclude_relationship:lady_conclude_relationship_confirm|So I suppose our time together must come to an end...
dlga_lady_conclude_relationship_confirm:lady_conclude_relationship_confirm_yes|Yes -- it must be...
dlga_lady_conclude_relationship_confirm:lady_conclude_relationship_confirm_no|Wait -- perhaps there is still a chance for us!
dlga_lady_conclude_relationship_confirm_yes:close_window|Farewell, {playername}. We will see each other, in the courts and castles of this realm, but we must keep our distance from each other. I will remember these days fondly, nonetheless.
dlga_lady_conclude_relationship_confirm_no:close_window|In that case, we shall see what the future brings.
dlga_lady_generic_mission_succeeded:lady_pretalk|Always an honour to serve, {s65}.
dlga_lady_premeet:lady_meet|I am {playername}.
dlga_lady_premeet:lady_meet.1|My name is {playername}. At your service.
dlga_lady_meet:lady_meet_end|Of course. How splendid to finally make your acquaintance.
dlga_lady_meet:lady_meet_end.1|{playername}? I do not believe I've heard of you before.
dlga_lady_meet_end:lady_talk|I am about to retire for a little while, but perhaps we may have a chance to speak later...
dlga_lady_meet_end:lady_talk.1|Now, if you will excuse me...
dlga_lady_meet_end:lady_talk.2|Can I help you with anything?
dlga_lady_talk:lord_talk_ask_location|I want to know the location of someone.
dlga_lady_pretalk:lady_talk|Now, if you will excuse me...
dlga_lady_pretalk:lady_talk.1|Is there anything else?
dlga_lady_talk:lady_relations|May I have the honor of knowing more about you, my lady?
dlga_lady_talk:lady_profess_admiration|My lady, I would like to profess myself your most ardent admirer
dlga_lady_talk:lady_tournament_dedication_reaction|My lady, I would like to dedicate my successes in this recent tournament to you
dlga_lady_profess_admiration:close_window|{s11}I would like it very much if we could see more of each other.
dlga_lady_profess_admiration:lady_pretalk|Ah... You are too kind... My, the hour is getting rather late, isn't it? I really must be going.
dlga_lady_talk:lady_recite_poetry|Do you like poetry, my lady?
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry|That would depend on the poem. Did you intend to recite a verse?
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry_response|The muse Calliope bore to Morpheus a son named Orpheus...
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry_response.1|A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face...
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry_response.2|There is a distant isle...
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry_response.3|LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings...
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_recite_poetry_response.4|But anxious cares already seized the queen...
dlga_lady_recite_poetry:lady_pretalk|Actually, I can't think of any that I would care to recite...
dlga_lady_private_conversation_end:lady_pretalk|Time is passing quickly, and we cannot linger here too long.
dlga_lady_talk:lady_marriage_discussion|Do you think that we may have a future together, my lady?
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_other_suitor|Sir -- as you may know, I have been entertaining offers from a number of gentlemen such as yourself. I am not yet at a stage where I can commit to any of them.
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_proposal_refused|It is good to hear that you are thinking seriously about the future. However, I would like to see you rise a little further in the world before I am ready to commit to marry you.
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_proposal_refused.1|It is good to hear that your intentions are honorable. However, I have resolved only to marry a man of the strongest moral fiber. I would like you to prove yourself more in that regard.
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_proposal_refused.2|Sir -- it is comforting to hear that your intentions towards me are honorable. But perhaps we should take the time to get to allow our affections for each other to grow a little stronger, before making any such decision.
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_betrothed|Oh {playername}, how happy that would make me! But my {s11} {s4} would never allow it... Perhaps it is best that we part...
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:close_window|Oh {playername}, how happy that would make me! Go ask my {s11} {s4} for permission!
dlga_lady_marriage_discussion:lady_proposal_refused.3|It is good to hear that your intentions are honorable. However, I am not ready to commit yet.
dlga_lady_proposal_refused:lady_proposal_refused_persuade_check|Perhaps I can persuade you to delay no further.
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_check:lady_proposal_refused_persuade_player_response|What do you have to say?
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_player_response:lady_proposal_refused_persuade_result|Love is as a rose, my lady. Left unplucked, it may wither.
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_player_response:lady_pretalk|Oh, never mind.
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_result:close_window|Enough, sir! I shall not be rushed into marriage, with you or with anyone else! You have made me very cross. Please, leave me alone for a while. I shall let you know when I am ready to speak to you again.
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_result:lady_betrothed|Oh {playername}, I could never allow that to happen! Oh, if only we could be wed! But my {s11} {s4} would never give his permission... Perhaps it is best that we part...
dlga_lady_proposal_refused_persuade_result:close_window.1|Oh {playername}, I could never allow that to happen! Go ask my {s11} {s4} his permission for us to be wed!
dlga_lady_proposal_refused:close_window|Very well -- I shall continue to strive to be worthy of your esteem!
dlga_lady_other_suitor:lady_pretalk|It grieves me to hear that, my lady, but such things must be
dlga_lady_other_suitor:lady_other_suitor_challenge|Who is the miscreant! Tell me his name!
dlga_lady_other_suitor_challenge:lady_pretalk|I would be so grateful! But from what I understand, you already have a duel on your hands. He is not honor-bound to fight you, if you are committed to another combat. Please, conclude your other business in a hurry, to rescue me from that man's attentions.
dlga_lady_other_suitor_challenge:lady_pretalk.1|Ah! Such talk. But from what I hear, you already have a duel on your hands. Finish one before you start another! Sigh... You men can be so silly...
dlga_lady_other_suitor_challenge:lady_other_suitor_challenge_confirm|It is {s5}. Please, rescue me from that man's attentions!
dlga_lady_other_suitor_challenge:lady_other_suitor_challenge_confirm.1|Will you now? This should be interesting. Very well. Your rival is {s5}. Let us see which of you has the greater mettle.
