dlga_start:tavernkeeper_talk|Well I guess that one couldn't handle his mead!! Frankus!....throw that drunken sob outside.
dlga_start:tavernkeeper_talk.1|{s4}
dlga_tavernkeeper_pretalk:tavernkeeper_talk|Anything else?
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_deliver_wine|I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}.
dlga_tavernkeeper_deliver_wine:tavernkeeper_pretalk|At last! My stock was almost depleted. I had paid the cost of the {s4} in advance. Here, take these {reg5} coins. That should cover your pay. And give {s9} my regards. I'll put in a good word for you next time I deal with him.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_deliver_wine_incomplete|I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}, but I lost some of the cargo on the way.
dlga_tavernkeeper_deliver_wine_incomplete:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Attacked by bandits eh? You are lucky they left you alive. Anyway, I can pay you no more than {reg5} coin for this. And I will let {s1} know that my order was delivered less than completely, so you will probably be charged for this loss.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_deliver_wine_lost|I was told to deliver you {reg9} units of {s4}, but I lost the cargo on the way.
dlga_tavernkeeper_deliver_wine_lost:tavernkeeper_pretalk|What? I was waiting for that {s4} for weeks! And now you are telling me that you lost it? You may rest assured that I will let {s1} know about this.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_huntfugitive_reward|I Killed the fugitive, may I have the bounty now?
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive_reward:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Of course, my {reg59?lady:lord}. My lord is grateful for the help.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_huntfugitive_fail|I'm sorry, the Murderer has escaped me.
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive_fail:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Really? This is shame. I hate to see justice go unpaid.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_huntparty_reward|I've destroyed the raiding party, may I have the bounty now?
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive_reward:tavernkeeper_pretalk.1|Of course, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. My lord is grateful for the help.
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntparty_reward:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Of course, {reg59?my lady:good sir}! We are so grateful there are still heroes like you in this world.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks|I'd like to buy every man who comes in here tonight a jar of your best wine.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_2|Of course, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. I reckon {reg5} coins should be enough for that. What should I tell the lads?
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_2:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_end|Let everyone know of the generosity of {playername} to the people of {s10}.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_end:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Don't worry {reg59?madam:sir}. Your name will be cheered and toasted here all night.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_2:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Actually, cancel that order.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops|I'd like to buy me and my men a barrel of your best ale.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops_2|Of course, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. I reckon {reg5} coin should be enough for that. What should I tell the lads?
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops_2:tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops_end|The price is fair enough. Let my men have at it.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops_end:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Don't worry {reg59?madam:sir}. Your men will enjoy their pints.
dlga_tavernkeeper_buy_drinks_troops_2:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Actually, forget this.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_job_ask|Have you heard of anyone in this realm who might have a job for a {reg59?woman:man} like myself?
dlga_tavernkeeper_job_ask:tavernkeeper_job_search|Hmm... Well, {s10} is often looking for mercenaries to fight in his wars.{s9}
dlga_tavernkeeper_job_search:tavernkeeper_job_result|Let me think some more...
dlga_tavernkeeper_job_result:tavernkeeper_job_search|I have heard that {s7} {s9}{s10} You may want to speak with {reg4?her:him}.
dlga_tavernkeeper_job_result:tavernkeeper_job_result_2|There may be other work, of course -- lords and guildmasters often have other tasks which we don't hear about. Also, the villages around here frequently need help, although they'd be more likely to pay you with a wedge of cheese and goodwill than with cold hard coin. ^^ You may also check here from time to time and see if there are bounties posted
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_bounty|Is there any bounties posted?
dlga_tavernkeeper_bounty:tavernkeeper_huntfugitive|Yes my {reg59?lady:good sir}, actually I've heard there is one...
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive:tavernkeeper_huntfugitive2|My lord has an issue with a lawless villain known as {s4}. He murdered one of their men and has been on the run from judgment ever since. There is a bounty of 300 coins on his head. It's rumors the murderer is hiding with his kinsmen at {s3}. You might be able to hunt him down and give him what he deserves, and claim the bounty for yourself.
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Oh actually never-mind, it seems someone has already claimed this bounty.
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive2:tavernkeeper_huntfugitive3|Very well, I will take this bounty
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive2:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Actually, never-mind.
dlga_tavernkeeper_huntfugitive3:tavernkeeper_rumor2|Very good, come back here when the job is done and I'll reward you.
dlga_tavernkeeper_bounty:tavernkeeper_special_raider|A storm is coming {reg59?my lady:lord}, there's been reports of a large force gathering on our borders...
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2|I know this is hard to believe, and I doubt the rumors are true, but I've heard a coven of witches and sorcerers have summed an army of the undead! They have been spotted around here apparently, and the town has placed a bounty on its destruction.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.1|I've heard its a large Saxon force, having recently landed fresh from Saxony. They have been spotted around here and the town has placed a bounty on its swift defeat.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.2|I've heard its a large Angle raiding party, having recently marched north from landing on the coast. They have been spotted nearby and the town has placed a bounty on its swift removal.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.3|A large Briton assault force has gathered nearby, the town has placed a special bounty on its swift defeat.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.4|As you probably know our kingdom is currently fighting a Pagan rebellion, though I stay out of religious affairs, a large rebel force has gathered and is attacking both Pagan and Christian alike. The town has asks a bounty be placed on their removal.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.5|It seems to be a rather large Visigoth raiding party, the town has placed a bounty on its swift removal.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.6|Those bastard Franks have gathered a large raiding party nearby, the town has placed a bounty on its swift removal.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider:tavernkeeper_special_raider2.7|It seems to be a very large bandit party, though these things are normally left to the guildmasters, the size of this force has forced us to grant a special bounty on their removal.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider2:tavernkeeper_special_raider3|Very well, fear not. I will take this bounty
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider2:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Actually, never-mind.
dlga_tavernkeeper_special_raider3:tavernkeeper_rumor2|You will? Wonderful! The town of course will be most grateful and will reward you with 2000 coin. Please return here when those bastards have been dealt with.
dlga_tavernkeeper_bounty:tavernkeeper_pretalk|No, not currently, but check back another time.
dlga_tavernkeeper_job_result_2:close_window|I'll keep my ears open for other opportunities. You may want to ask again from time to time.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:tavernkeeper_rumor|Any news in this part of the world?
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk|I guess it's not exactly news, but the world is becoming increasingly dangerous. The roads are full of bandits.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.1|A storm is coming. It's not thunder and lightning but war.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.2|I've been far too busy for gossip lately.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.3|Have you had a chance to visit the shrine of St. Peter? It's in Dun Lethlaise. They say it marks the place of his burial.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.4|I heard someone say a Briton called Iseult is the most beautiful in all the Isles... HAY! Obviously they've never looked at our {reg3?Jute:AngloSaxon} women, I'm sure they're ten times as fair.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.5|People around here talk only of the flooding and how the river Ebe has swallowed much of the town! Many lost loved ones, including myself... best damn dunkey a girl could ever ask for!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.6|People in these parts like to talk about old king Cole, the norths greatest King. He held all the lands of the north, yet chose to divide them amongst his children upon his death - a pity, a united north could have been strong enough to defeat those Saxon invaders.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.7|They say that Iseult is now the most beautiful woman in all of Britannia. They also say she is cheating on her husband with Tristen of Lyoness.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.8|I sometimes hear the Bards sing about King Arthur, in these lands however, no one cares to hear of the deeds of foreign Kings, I prefer to listen to songs that are closer to home.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.9|They say the Saxons will soon conquer all of Britannia, as long as they stay out of Hibernia I could care less.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.10|Bards say that King Arthur is doomed to fail in his quest of driving the Saxon's from these isles.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.11|I heard another Bard song about King Arthur's death. Though I hear them less each day - ^^I suppose since Bishop Padarn ordered all written record of Arthur erased, soon his name will pass only in legend.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.12|I heard that Pictland recently became Christian, but it has caused many Pagans to revolt against the crown.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.13|I heard Pictland converted back to their pagan roots once more. I guess the revolts were too much for them, yet now they face a growning Christian threat.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.14|I heard that Clovis believes it is only a matter of time before all the lands of the franks are united under his crown.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.15|I heard Clovis is dead. Thou not a good man, many here still morn his passing
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.16|They say here that its only a matter of time before the lands of Hibernia are united under a single crown.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.17|This religious rebellion is getting out of hand, do you know how many barrels of mead I've lost in shipments? Something needs to done about those bloody raiders.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.18|Its amazing to me that Ambrosius Aurelianus is still leading armies, he must be so tired of fighting those bloody Saxons.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.19|Many in these parts are still morning Ambrosius Aurelianus death, who will save us from the Saxons now?
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.20|I heard our Pagan brothers up north are leading a revolt against the Picts. I hope they can spill plenty of Christian blood.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.21|Sometimes I don't think I can keep going in this dark world, but somehow each day I find enough courage to keep playing.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.22|Recently, many of Arthur's knights have left the kingdom in search of the Holy Grail.... how some cup will stop the Saxon's is beyond me.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.23|As camelot burns, many of Arthur's former knights continue their search for the Holy Grail.... ^^Poor bastards actually think that finding it will regain their honor, if you ask me though, I think if they'd stoped searching and been where they were supposed to be, their kingdom might still be alive.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.24|Had a strange visitor in here the other day, said he was some knight under a Briton King... um Arthur was it? Anyway, said he was searching for the Holy Grail!.... ^^Poor bugger, he has a better chance of being knifed in a back alley then finding that relic.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.25|Had plenty of strangers passing through here lately, they all seem to be searching for lost relics. Wast of time if you ask me.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.26|I've heard even though Arthur is dead, Camalot's new ruler {s7} has ordered their knights to continue the search for that bloody holy grial! Their lands are as good as slaughtered.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.27|I heard Arthurs knights are searching for the holy grial, like thats going to save their lands from slaughter.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.28|It's rumored that a Saxon King in Englaland has began talks with their countrymen across the sea. A very large army is gathering for yet another invasion of Britannia.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.29|Another Saxon army has landed in Britannia, Soon all Britons will be wipped out!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.30|In the Kingdom of Alt Clut, the king has trouble resolving disputes between Picts and Goidels. They seem to be always wanting to fight each other.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.31|In these parts, the king has trouble resolving disputes between Picts and Goidels. They never seem to stop fighting each other.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.32|I keep hearing about how us Goidels are expanding into foreign lands across the sea. I might be a simple tavern keeper, but sometimes I think we should fix our own problems at home before sailing on to other shores.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.33|Have you seen those Visgoths? Some say they are just as fierce as any Saxon!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.34|Apparently Franks make excellent fighters I'm told, brave and fierce - fighting with sword and axe.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.35|Have you ever seen a Pict stranger? I heard they paint their bodies blue and charge their enemies naked! must be quite the sight to see on the battlefield.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.36|All is quite around these parts {reg59?sister:brother}, and thats just how I like it.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.37|Here's some news for ya Stranger, we don't like foreigners here. Go back to your own lands and leave Hibernia alone
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.38|Everyone keeps talking about the end of the Visgothic kingdom, their faction has been driven back into Hisbania!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.39|Did you know the Saxon's that invade Englaland are very similar to our frankish brothers? Though many still keep their savege beliefs and have developed their own language, we both started from what the Romans called 'Germanic tribes'.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.40|Did you know the Visgothic kingdom is considered the strongest in the world? It rules not only these lands, but over the mountains and into Hisbania!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.41|Did you know this town is one of the youngest in all Britannia? It was built by Brytenwalda Elle as a gift to his son. The place grows larger each day as we are an entry point to new Saxons landing in Englaland - looking for adventure.'.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.42|More of our Saxon brothers arrive in Englaland every day, and the Britons are reteating further west with every one of our victories.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.43|This town has certainly seen its ups and downs stranger. At one time we were the capital of Roman Britannia, today the Saxons raid and burn while most citizens pack their bags and leave the city behind them.'.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.44|Around these parts most people still follow their Romano-Briton culture, that is Britons who have been more romanized or bred from Roman citizens, they tend to think they are slightly better then your average Briton.'.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.45|These lands have certainly seen their share of war. Not long ago, a bloody civil war was fought between Tutgwal the former King of Alt Clut and his noble Caw, Caw won of course and banished Tutgwals family to the southern lands of Galwyddel
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.46|The Kingdom of Alt Clut recently ended a long and terrible civil war, yet, I've heard that even though King Tutgwal was over-thrown, his son Guipno is determined to take back the crown.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.47|The years seem to pass so quickly now, and I'm not getting any younger, sometimes I wonder if I should retire, sell the Tavern and move in with my cousin up north.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.48|{s61}
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_rumor2|I hear congratulations are in order. I was so happy to hear of your marriage to {s6} - a romantic like myself can't help but enjoy a good love story.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_rumor2.1|Congratulations on your little one {s6}, I saw the lad out with his handlers the other day... so big he's getting!
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_rumor2.2|I saw your {reg59?noble husband:lovely wife} {s6} in here the other day, said they were shopping for bread and stoped in for a pint of ale, you did well for yourself with that one {playername}.
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_rumor2.3|I wanted to tell you how sorry I was to hear of your {reg59?charming husband:lovely wife}'s death {playername}. Here, have the next drink on the house and know we all morn with you
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor:tavernkeeper_pretalk.49|{reg3?I've already told you all the news I know, please stop hasseling me about this!:I have not heard anything notable to tell you.}
dlga_tavernkeeper_rumor2:tavernkeeper_pretalk|Thank you.
dlga_tavernkeeper_talk:close_window|I guess I should leave now.
dlga_start:ransom_broker_intro|Greetings to you, {reg59?madam:sir}. You look like someone who should get to know me.
dlga_ransom_broker_intro:ransom_broker_intro_2|Why is that?
dlga_ransom_broker_intro_2:ransom_broker_info_talk|I broker ransoms for the poor wretches who are captured in these endless wars. Normally I travel between the salt mines and the slave markets on the coast, on commission from those whose relatives have gone missing. But if I'm out on my errands of mercy, and I come across a fellow dragging around a captive or two, well, there's no harm in a little speculative investment, is there? And you look like the type who might have a prisoner to sell.
dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk:ransom_broker_families|What if their families can't pay?
dlga_ransom_broker_families:ransom_broker_info_talk|Oh, then I spin them a few heartwarming tales of life on the galleys. You'd be surprised what sorts of treasures a peasant can dig out of his cowshed or wheedle out of his cousins, assuming he's got the proper motivation! And if in the end they cannot come up with the silver, then there are always slave merchants who are looking for galley slaves. One cannot do Heaven's work with an empty purse, you see.
dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk:ransom_broker_prices|What can I get for a prisoner?
dlga_ransom_broker_prices:ransom_broker_info_talk|It varies. I fancy that I have a fine eye for assessing a ransom. There are a dozen little things about a man that will tell you whether he goes to bed hungry, or dines each night on soft dumplings and goose. The real money of course is in the gentry, and if you ever want to do my job you'll want to learn about every landowning family in the Isles, their estates, their heraldry, their offspring both lawful and bastard, and, of course, their credit with the merchants.
dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk:ransom_broker_ransom_me|Would you be able to ransom me if I were taken?
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_me:ransom_broker_info_talk|Of course. I'm welcome in every court in the lands. There's not many who can say that! So always be sure to keep a bag of coins buried somewhere, and a loyal servant who can find it in a hurry.
dlga_ransom_broker_info_talk:ransom_broker_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thank you.
dlga_start:ransom_broker_talk|Greetings. If you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you.
dlga_ransom_broker_pretalk:ransom_broker_talk|Anyway, if you have any prisoners, I will be happy to buy them from you.
dlga_ransom_broker_talk:ransom_broker_sell_prisoners|Then you'd better bring your purse. I have got prisoners to sell.
dlga_ransom_broker_talk:ransom_broker_intro_2|Tell me about what you do again.
dlga_ransom_broker_talk:ransom_broker_ransom_companion|I wish to ransom one of my companions.
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion:ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose|Whom do you wish to ransom?
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose:ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum|{s4}
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_choose:ransom_broker_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_name_sum:ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify|Let me check my ledger, here... Yes. Your friend is being held in the dungeon at {s7}. How interesting! I remember hearing that the rats down there are unusually large -- like mastiffs, they say... Now... For the very reasonable sum of {reg5} coins, which includes both the ransom and my commission and expenses, we can arrange it so that {s5} can once again enjoy {reg4?her:his} freedom. What do you say?
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify:ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept|Here's your money.
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_verify:ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse|I can't afford that right now.
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_accept:ransom_broker_talk|Splendid! In a few days, I would think, you should find {s5} riding to rejoin you, blinking in the sunlight and no doubt very grateful! Is there any other way in which I can help you?
dlga_ransom_broker_ransom_companion_refuse:ransom_broker_talk|Of course, of course... Never mind what they say about the rats, by the way -- I've never actually seen one myself, on account of the pitch-black darkness. Anyway, I'm sure that {s5} will understand why it's important for you to control expenditures. Now... Was there anything else?
dlga_ransom_broker_talk:close_window|Not this time. Good-bye.
dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners:ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have...
dlga_ransom_broker_sell_prisoners_2:close_window|I will be staying here for a few days. Let me know if you need my services.
dlga_start:tavern_traveler_talk|Greetings, friend. You look like the kind of {reg59?person:man} who'd do well to know me. I travel a lot all across these lands and keep an open ear. I can provide you information that you might find useful. For a meager price of course.
dlga_start:tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks|Greetings, {playername}. I saw your companion {s10} at a tavern in {s11} some days ago. I thought you might like to know.
dlga_tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks:tavern_traveler_pretalk|Thanks. I'll go and find {reg3?her:him} there.
dlga_tavern_traveler_lost_companion_thanks:tavern_traveler_pretalk.1|Thanks, but I don't really care.
dlga_start:tavern_traveler_talk.1|Greetings, {playername}.
dlga_tavern_traveler_pretalk:tavern_traveler_talk|Yes?
dlga_tavern_traveler_talk:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms|What can you tell me about this land?
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2|The Isles are divided into rival kingdoms, which can neither manage to live in peace with their neighbours, nor completely eliminate them. As a result, there's seldom a break to the bitter wars which plague this land and drain its life blood. Well, at least this must be a good place to be for an adventurer such as yourself. With some luck and skill, you can make a name for yourself here, amass a fortune perhaps, or gain great power. Opportunities are endless and so are the rewards, if you are willing to risk your life for them.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3|Tell me more about these opportunities.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_2:close_window|Thank you. That was all I needed to know
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|Well, you probably know everything I could tell you already. You seem to be doing pretty well.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_3:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a|The kingdoms will pay good money for mercenaries if they are engaged in a war. If you have done a bit of fighting, speaking with one of their lords will probably result in being offered a mercenary contract. However the real rewards come if you can manage to become a vassal to a king. A vassal can own villages, castles and towns and get rich with the taxes and revenues of these estates. Normally, only nobles of the realm own land in this way, but in time of war, a king will not hesitate to accept someone who distinguishes {reg59?herself:himself} on the battlefield as a vassal, and grant {reg59?her:him} the right to own land.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4a:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4|It is not unheard-of for adventurers to renounce allegiance to a king altogether, declare themselves kings, and claim land in their own name. This is a difficult path, however, as the great nobles of the land, with their long ancestries, are not likely to accept such upstarts as their monarch. Such rulers would need to be very careful in establishing their right to rule, or they would be set upon from all sides.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_4:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5|It might be easier for an adventurer like yourself to pledge support to an existing king's rival. There are many such pretenders in these lands -- those who are born to the right family, who go around and stir up trouble saying they have a better claim to the throne than the current king. If those claim holders could find supporters, they could easily start civil wars and perhaps even replace the king one day.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5:tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6|Interesting. Where can I find these claim holders?
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_5:close_window|I guess I heard enough already. Thank you.
dlga_tavern_traveler_tell_kingdoms_6:tavern_traveler_pretalk|A claim holder's life would be in danger in his own country of course. Therefore, they usually stay at rival courts, raising support and hoping to find someone willing to champion their cause. I usually hear news about some of them, and may be able to tell you their location with some precision. But of course, I would ask for a little something for such a service.
dlga_tavern_traveler_talk:tavern_traveler_pretender_location|I want to know the location of a claimant.
dlga_tavern_traveler_pretender_location:tavern_traveler_pretender_location_ask|Whose location do you want to know?

dlga_start:minstrel_1|Greetings to you, {reg59?most noble lady:most noble sir}.
dlga_minstrel_1:minstrel_job_description|What is it you do?
dlga_minstrel_1:minstrel_courtship_questions|I have some questions about courtship in this kingdom
dlga_minstrel_1:minstrel_courtship_poem|Can you teach me any poems?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach|I can teach you the poem, 'The Storming of the Castle of Love.' It is short enough to be easily learned. It is an allegoric poem, replete with symbols and metaphor. It describes how a brave but rough warrior wins the heart of his lady by learning the virtues of chivalry, becoming a true and noble knight. Its theme -- that the role of a woman is to inspire but also civilize a man -- it is appreciated by some noble {reg59?lords:ladies}, but not all.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.1|I can teach you the poem, 'The Heart's Desire.' It is a lyrical poem, which can be interpreted either erotically or spiritually. The lover realizes the majesty of the divine by gazing upon the body of his beloved. I believe that it appeals to {reg59?men who are good natured and pure:women of a certain romantic temperament}, but you risk scandalizing or boring others.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.2|I can teach you the tale of Kais and Layala. It is a sad and simple story -- the shepherd boy Kais and the nobleman's daughter Layala love each other, but they can never marry. The poem is Kais' lament as he wanders alone, unwilling to forget his true love, driving himself mad with longing. Some {reg59?men enjoy the sweetness of his sorrors, especially those of good nature:ladies melt at the sweetness of his sorrows}; others glaze over at his self-pity.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.3|I can teach you part of the saga of Helgerad and Kara. It is a heroic tale, full of blood and battle. The shieldmaiden Kara chooses the warrior Helgered as her lover, as he is the only man who can defeat her in combat. Her father, who pledged her to another, comes with his sons and his huscarls to kill Helgered. They fight, and Helgered and Kara slaughter the entire host except for Kara's beloved younger brother -- who, alas, grows up to avenge his father by slaying Helgered. {reg59?I find even though most martial men don't like the depiction of women warriors, there is still enough blood and action to appeal to them. It is also enjoyed by men of action, however it still shocks and repulses many others:The depiction of warrior and shieldmaiden as equals will appeal to some women, but a mail-wearing, blood-spattered heroine will shock and repulse others}.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach.4|I can teach you the poem, 'An Argument in the Garden.' It is a comic poem, which satirizes the conventions of courtly love. A lover steals into a garden in Veluca, and plies her with lots of witty lines to persuade his lover to submit to his embraces. She shoots down all of his advances one by one, then when he is downcast, she takes him in her arms and tells him that she wanted him all along, except on her terms, not his. {reg59? A man who is smart or has a sense of humor may find it amusing, but many others may not:A lady with a sense of humor may find it amusing, but others might feel that they are the ones who are being mocked}.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2|To teach it to you, I will need some hours of your time -- and, of course, a small fee for my services. About 300 coins would suffice.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem:minstrel_pretalk|I believe you already know the poems I am best equipped to teach.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3|Yes -- teach me that one
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_2:minstrel_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_4|Very well -- repeat after me:^ I deflected her skeptical questioning darts^ with armor made of purest devotion^ purged in the forge of my heart^ from the slag of any baser emotion
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_4.1|Very well -- repeat after me:^ You are the first and the last^ the outer and the inner^ When I drink from the cup of love^ I escape the tread of time^ A moment in solitude with you^ Would have no beginning and no end
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_4.2|Very well -- repeat after me:^ The wind that blows the dry steppe dust^ Stirs the curtains in your tower^ The moon that lights my drunken path home^ Looks on you sleeping in your bower^ If I cried out to the wind^ Could it carry a message from my lips?^ If I wept before the moon^ Would it grant me just a glimpse?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_4.3|Very well -- repeat after me:^ A light pierced the gloom over Dover cliffs...^ Where charge of surf broke on shieldwall of shore^ Grey-helmed and grey-cloaked the maiden stood^ On wave-steed's prow, the sailcloth snapping^ Over din of oars, of timbers cracking^ She cried out to her hearth-brothers, arrayed for war
dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_3:minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_4.4|Very well -- repeat after me:^All the silks of Pictavis, all the furs of Colonia^Would buy you not the briefest kiss^What I bestow, I bestow for love^And the sake of my own happiness^But brought you a gift? Let us see! Let us see!^Or should tell my father how you came to see me?

dlga_minstrel_courtship_poem_teach_reject:minstrel_pretalk|Very well. If the poem is not to your taste, then keep your money. But remember -- with poets and with lovers, what is important is not what pleases you. What is important is what your pleases your audience. If you wish to learn the poem, I am still willing to teach.
dlga_minstrel_learn_poem_continue:close_window|Very good -- but there are many stanzas to go. Now, listen closely...
dlga_minstrel_1:minstrel_gossip|Can you tell me anything about the eligible maidens in this realm?

dlga_minstrel_gossip_maiden_selected_2:minstrel_postgossip.1|{s12}.
dlga_minstrel_postgossip:minstrel_pretalk|Very interesting -- but let us speak of something else.
dlga_minstrel_postgossip:minstrel_gossip|Very interesting -- is there any more news?

dlga_minstrel_duel_confirm:minstrel_duel_confirm_2|Do you mean that? {s11} will be honor-bound to fight you, but challenging a lord to duel over a woman is seen as a bit hot-headed, even in this warlike age.

dlga_minstrel_duel_confirm_2:minstrel_pretalk|No -- I let my passions run away with me, there

dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions:minstrel_courtship_questions_2|What do you wish to know?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_prequestions:minstrel_courtship_questions_2|Can I answer any other questions for you?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_player_role|Is there a place for me in the game of love?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_player_advice_meet|How would a suitor meet a lady?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_player_advice_woo|Having met a lady, how would the suitor woo her?
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_nobles|Tell me about marriage and love among the nobility
dlga_minstrel_nobles:minstrel_nobles_2|Nobles are an odd lot. In these lands, a daughter is a political asset, to be given away to a lord with whom her father wishes to make an alliance. Yet the great families of this land idealize pure love between man and woman, and I have seen many a hardened warrior weep copious tears at the doomed ardour of Sahira and Janun in the songs -- even as he made plans to break his own daughter's heart.
dlga_minstrel_nobles_2:minstrel_nobles_3|Fathers differ, of course. Some nobles will let their daughters choose a husband who pleases them. Others, however, feel that to allow their daughters any choice at all would be to diminish their own authority, and insist on imposing a groom whether she likes it or not.
dlga_minstrel_nobles_3:minstrel_prequestions|But the majority will steer a middle course -- they will want to make the final decision about a groom, but will weigh their daughter's preferences heavily. Among other factors, a happy marriage is more likely to produce heirs. So, there is a place for courtship, and for the use of skill and passion to win a lady's heart.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_daughter_father|What if a lady and her father disagree about a suitor?
dlga_minstrel_daughter_father:minstrel_daughter_father_2|It happens sometimes that a bride elopes. This is a major blow to the father's prestige, leading to lasting enmities. Indeed, it is possible that a war may be fought over a woman. Now, that is a fine topic for a song.
dlga_minstrel_daughter_father_2:minstrel_prequestions|In the end, however, most brides will submit to their parents' choice. A noblewoman's family is everything to her, and few are brave enough to risk its disapproval for the sake of man she barely knows. She may pine for her lover, but still accept the groom -- and without tragic love, what would we have to sing about?
dlga_minstrel_player_role:minstrel_player_role_2|Of course! Some lords make a great deal of lineage, but in the end, lands and money speak louder than one's ancestors. Even though you are a foreigner, if you are coming up in the world, then many parents will consider you a fine catch.
dlga_minstrel_player_role_2:minstrel_player_role_3|You will have to compete with many other lords of your realm, however, who will have an advantage -- they have known these ladies from childhood, and will have been sized up as grooms by carefully discerning mothers and aunts. Some ladies may be fascinated by the stranger, yet opt for the familiar.
dlga_minstrel_player_role_3:minstrel_prequestions|So know this -- you may have your heart broken. But to enter the arena of love fearing heartbreak is like entering the battlefield fearing the enemy's arrows. Be brave, and shrug off the sting of rejection, and victory may yet be yours.
dlga_minstrel_player_role:minstrel_female_player_3|Lady -- I will speak bluntly. Most of the lords of this land are looking for a demure maiden, whose skin as fair as snow -- and your skin is burnt brown by the sun. They want a maiden whose voice is soft as bells -- and your voice is hoarse from commanding men in battle. Also, although the lords appreciate poems about love, most also want heirs, and few women can ride and fight while with child.
dlga_minstrel_female_player_3:minstrel_prequestions|However, not all lords will be so conventionally minded. We poets sing of shield maidens and of huntresses, of women who forged their own path without having sacrificed the chance for love. I would not tell you that it would be easy for you to find a devoted husband who will accept your ways, but I would not say that it is impossible.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_spouse_benefits|What advantage is there in seeking a {reg59?husband:wife}?
dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits:minstrel_wife_benefits_2|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may forge a strong alliance with the bride's family, and a wife may also assist you in manipulating the politics of the realm to your advantage.
dlga_minstrel_wife_benefits_2:minstrel_prequestions|What's more, most of the great families of these Isles have at some point intermarried with royalty, which would boost your own claim to rule -- should you ever choose to assert it...
dlga_minstrel_spouse_benefits:minstrel_wife_benefits_2.1|Ah! You are quite the romantic, I see! Well, aside from the obvious benefits of love, companionship and other, em, domestic matters, to marry among the nobility brings great assets. You may have access to the groom's castles and properties, and be able to work with him to advance both of your standings in the realm.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet:minstrel_player_advice_meet_2|Every so often, a king or great lord will hold a feast. In towns they will often be accompanied by tournaments, and in castles they will be accompanied by hunts. The feasts provide a chance for the lords to repair some of the rivalries that may undermine the strength of the realm. They also provide an opportunity for families to show off their eligible daughters, and ladies will often be allowed to mingle unsupervised with the guests.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_meet_2:minstrel_prequestions|If you have the opportunity, you may attempt to pay the lady a compliment. This indicates to her that you are a potential suitor, and she will usually know if she wishes you to continue your suit. Incidentally, if you come to her fresh from having distinguished yourself in the tournament or in the hunt, then you may make a stronger first impression than otherwise.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo:minstrel_player_advice_woo_2|To woo a lady takes a certain amount of time and patience, and several meetings spaced over a period of months. A lady who is interested in you will often find ways of letting you know if she wishes you to come visit her. Alternately, you may simply go and ask her father or brother for permission. If you do not have permission from her guardian, it may be possible to arrange an assignation through other means.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_2:minstrel_player_advice_woo_3|Having arranged an assignment, you may then attempt to charm her and win her favor. Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of this is finding a topic of conversation. Most noblewomen lead a cloistered life, at least until they are married, and thus will have little to say that will interest you. On other hand, she will soon tire of hearing of your own deeds in the outside world.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_3:minstrel_player_advice_woo_4|One time-tested mode of courtship is simply to recite a popular poem, and discuss it. This way, you are both on an equal footing, and neither will have an advantage in knowledge or experience. Of course, different ladies will have different tastes in poetry.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_4:minstrel_player_advice_woo_5|At some point, you will be able to discuss directly the issue of marriage. She will then let you know if you measure up to what she wants in a husband. Some ladies will coolly assess who is the most prestigious of her suitors, others will be guided by their passions. Some will look to your companions, to see whether you are the kind of husband who will treat her as an equal, while others will follow the lead of their fathers.
dlga_minstrel_player_advice_woo_5:minstrel_prequestions|At any rate, it is a challenging business -- and do not forget, you may find that your suit prospers with a lady, only to have it falter on a father's political ambitions. So you must ask yourself: are you willing to risk disappointment and heartbreak? Alternately, are you willing to throw away your standing in society, to make enemies of allies, in pursuit of a forbidden love? Because if you are, then perhaps some day we will write poems about you.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_job_description|What is it that you poets and musicians do again?
dlga_minstrel_job_description:minstrel_courtship_prequestions|I compose and write songs for the lords of the land, and their ladies. Sometimes I sing about war, sometimes about the virtues of kings, and sometimes, for the more sophisticated audiences, about the virtues of wine. For most audiences, however, I sing of love.
dlga_minstrel_courtship_questions_2:minstrel_pretalk|No, that is all.
dlga_minstrel_prequestions:minstrel_courtship_questions_2|Do you have any other questions?

dlga_bardo_bt:bardo_bt2|Well, if you really want to know... then hear me! There are Twelve Treasures of Brittania:^One: Excalibur, the sword of Arthur. If a well-born man draw it, they shall will rule over all Britons. I do not know if the stories are true. They say anyone who would steal the sword will find it taken by magic the next morning, for only the lady of the lake can determin those worthy.^^Two: The Hamper of Gwyddno Garanhir. Food for one man would be put in it, but when it was opened again, food for a hundred men would be found in it.
dlga_bardo_bt2:bardo_bt3| Three: The Holy Grail. A cup of stone with miraculous powers to provide happiness, eternal youth and sustenance to anyone who drinks from it.^Four: The Halter of Clydno Eiddyn. This was fixed by a staple to the foot of his bed. Whatever horse he might wish for, he would find in the halter.^Five: The Knife of Llawfrodedd Farchog. This would allow twenty and four men to eat at table.^Six: The Cauldron of Dyrnwch the Giant. If meat for a brave man were put in it, it would instantly be cooked.
dlga_bardo_bt3:bardo_bt4|Eight: The Whetstone of Tudwal Tudglyd. Any sword sharpened on this whetstone would not fail to kill any man from whom it drew blood.^Seven: The Coat of Padarn Beisrudd. If a well-born man put it on, it would be the right size for him.^Eight and Nine: The Crock and the Dish of Rhygenydd the Cleric. Whatever food might be wished for, it would be found in them.^Ten and Eleven: The Stone and Ring of Eluned the Fortunate. They say these items hold great magical power, Merlin is said to possess them.^Twelve: The Mantle of Arthur of Cornwall. Whoever is under it cannot be seen, yet he himself can see everyone.

dlga_bardo_bt7:close_window|Some of these Treasures are known, perhaps you could speak with Merlin, that is if you're up for a tresure hunt.
dlga_bardo_bt8:close_window|Do you think if I had these treasures, I would be here singing for my supper? No, I would be reviving the old knowledge of the Druids and trying to regain the Britannia that was lost with the death of my father. Farewell.
dlga_start:farmer_from_bandit_village_1|{reg59?Madam:My lord}, you look like a {reg59?lady:man} of the sword and someone who could help us. Will you hear my plea?
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_1:farmer_from_bandit_village_2|What is the matter, my good man?
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_1:farmer_from_bandit_village_2.1|What are you burbling about peasant? Speak out.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_2:farmer_from_bandit_village_3|A band of brigands have taken refuge in our village. They take everything we have, force us to serve them, and do us much evil. If one of us so much as breathes a word of protest, they kill the poor soul on the spot right away. Our lives have become unbearable. I risked my skin and ran away to find someone who can help us.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_3:farmer_from_bandit_village_4|Why don't you go to the lord of your village? He should take care of the vermin.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_4:farmer_from_bandit_village_5|I did, {reg59?madam:sir}, but our lord's men did not let me see him and said he was occupied with more important matters and that we should deal with our own problem ourselves. Please {reg59?madam:sir}, you look like a {reg59?woman:man} of valor and a fearsome warrior, and you have no doubt many friends and soldiers at your service. If there is anyone who can help us, it's you.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_5:farmer_from_bandit_village_accepted|Very well, I'll help you. Where is this village?
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_5:farmer_from_bandit_village_denied|I can't be bothered with this right now.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_5:farmer_from_bandit_village_barter|Why would I fight these bandits? What's in it for me?
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_accepted:close_window|God bless you, {reg59?madam:sir}. Our village is {s7}. It is not too far from here.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_denied:close_window|As you say {reg59?madam:sir}. Forgive me for bothering you.
dlga_farmer_from_bandit_village_barter:farmer_from_bandit_village_5|We are but poor farmers {reg59?madam:sir}, and the bandits have already got most of what we have on this world. but we'll be glad to share with you whatever we have got. And we'll always be in your gratitude if you help us.
dlga_start:close_window.112|Thank you for helping us {reg59?madam:sir}. Crush those bandits!
dlga_start:mercenary_tavern_talk|Do you have a need for mercenaries, {reg59?madam:sir}? {reg3?Me and {reg4?{reg3} of my mates:one of my mates} are:I am} looking for a master. We'll join you for {reg5} coins.
dlga_start:mercenary_after_recruited|Any orders, {reg59?madam:sir}?
dlga_mercenary_after_recruited:mercenary_after_recruited_2|Make your preparations. We'll be moving at dawn.
dlga_mercenary_after_recruited:mercenary_after_recruited_2.1|Take your time. We'll be staying in this town for a while.
dlga_mercenary_after_recruited_2:close_window|Yes {reg59?madam:sir}. We'll be ready when you tell us to leave.
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk:mercenary_tavern_talk_hire|All right. I will hire all of you. Here is {reg5} coins.
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk:mercenary_tavern_talk_hire.1|All right. But I can only hire {reg6} of you. Here is {reg5} coins.
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk_hire:close_window|{s17}
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk:tavern_mercenary_cant_lead|That sounds good. But I can't afford to hire any more men right now.
dlga_tavern_mercenary_cant_lead:close_window|That's a pity. Well, {reg3?we will:I will} be lingering around here for a while, if you need to hire anyone.
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk:tavern_mercenary_cant_lead.1|That sounds good. But I can't lead any more men right now.
dlga_mercenary_tavern_talk:close_window|Sorry. I don't need any other men right now.
dlga_start:trainer_intro_1|Good day to you {lad/lass}. You look like another adventurer who has come to try {his/her} chance in these lands. Well, trust my word, you won't be able to survive long here unless you know how to fight yourself out of a tight spot.
dlga_trainer_intro_1:trainer_intro_2|Thank you for your advice. This place looks like a training field. Maybe I can learn about fighting here?
dlga_trainer_intro_2:trainer_intro_3|Indeed you can. I am a veteran soldier... fought a good deal in the wars in my time. But these days, I train young novices in this area. I can find you some opponents to practice with if you like. Or if you have any questions about the theory of combat, feel free to ask.
dlga_trainer_intro_3:trainer_intro_4a|Yes, I do have a few questions.
dlga_trainer_intro_3:trainer_intro_4b|Actually, I can move on to practice.
dlga_trainer_intro_4a:trainer_talk_combat|Well, ask anything you like.
dlga_trainer_intro_4b:trainer_practice_1|Good. It's good to find someone eager for practice. Let's see what you will do.
dlga_start:trainer_practice_1|That was a good fight.
dlga_start:trainer_practice_1.1|Ha! Looks like you've developed a bit of a limp there. Don't worry, even losses have their value, provided you learn from them. Shake the stars out of your eyes and get back in there. There's no other way to win.
dlga_start:trainer_talk|Good day. Ready for some training today?
dlga_trainer_pretalk:trainer_talk|Ah, are you ready for some training?
dlga_trainer_talk:trainer_practice_1|I am ready for some practice.
dlga_trainer_talk:trainer_combat_begin|First, tell me something about combat...
dlga_trainer_talk:close_window|I need to leave now. Farewell.
dlga_trainer_combat_begin:trainer_talk_combat|What do you want to know?
dlga_trainer_combat_pretalk:trainer_talk_combat|What else do you want to know?
dlga_trainer_talk_combat:trainer_explain_defense|Tell me about defending myself.
dlga_trainer_talk_combat:trainer_explain_attack|Tell me about attacking with weapons.
dlga_trainer_talk_combat:trainer_explain_horseback|Tell me about fighting on horseback.
dlga_trainer_talk_combat:trainer_pretalk|I guess I know all the theory I need. Let's talk about something else.
dlga_trainer_explain_defense:trainer_explain_defense_2|Good question. The first thing you should know as a fighter is how to defend yourself. Keeping yourself out of harm's way is the first rule of combat, and it is much more important than giving harm to others. Everybody can swing a sword around and hope to cut some flesh, but only those fighters that are experts at defense live to tell of it.
dlga_trainer_explain_defense_2:trainer_explain_defense_3|Now. Defending yourself is easiest if you are equipped with a shield. Just block with your shield. [Hold down the right mouse button to defend yourself with the shield.] In this state, you will be able to deflect all attacks that come from your front. However, you will still be open to strikes from your sides or your back.
dlga_trainer_explain_defense_3:trainer_explain_defense_4|What if I don't have a shield?
dlga_trainer_explain_defense_4:trainer_combat_pretalk|Then you will have to use your weapon to block your opponent. This is a bit more difficult than defending with a shield. Defending with a weapon, you can block against only ONE attack direction. That is, you block against either overhead swings, side swings or thrusts. Therefore you must watch your opponent carefully and start to block AFTER he starts his attack. In this way you will be able to block against the direction of his current attack. If you start to block BEFORE he makes his move, he may just attack in another direction than the one you are blocking against and score a hit.
dlga_trainer_explain_attack:trainer_explain_attack_2|Good question. Attacking is the best defence, they say. A tactic many fighters find useful is taking an offensive stance and readying your weapon for attack, waiting for the right moment for swinging it. [You can ready your weapon for attack by pressing and holding down the left mouse button.]
dlga_trainer_explain_attack_2:trainer_explain_attack_3|That sounds useful.
dlga_trainer_explain_attack_3:trainer_explain_attack_4|It is a good tactic, but remember that, your opponent may see that and take a defensive stance against the direction you are swinging your weapon. If that happens, you must break your attack and quickly attack from another direction [You may cancel your current attack by quickly tapping the right mouse button].
dlga_trainer_explain_attack_4:trainer_explain_attack_5|If my opponent is defending against the direction I am attacking from, I will break and use another direction.
dlga_trainer_explain_attack_5:trainer_combat_pretalk|Yes, selecting the direction you swing your weapon is a crucial skill. There are four main directions you may use: right swing, left swing, overhead swing and thrust. You must use each one wisely. [to control your swing direction with default controls, move your mouse in the direction you want to swing from as you press the left mouse button].
dlga_trainer_explain_horseback:trainer_combat_pretalk|Very good question. A horse may be a warrior's most powerful weapon in combat. It gives you speed, height, power and initiative. A lot of deadly weapons will become even deadlier on horseback. However you must pay particular attention to horse-mounted enemies couching their lances, as they may take down any opponent in one hit. [To use the couched lance yourself, wield a lance or similar weapon, and speed up your horse without pressing attack or defense buttons. after you reach a speed, you'll lower your lance. Then try to target your enemies by maneuvering your horse.]
dlga_trainer_practice_1:trainer_practice_1|I train novices in four stages, each tougher than the one before. To finish a stage and advance to the next one, you have to win three fights in a row.
dlga_trainer_practice_1:novicemaster_are_you_ready|You have passed all stages of training. But if you want you can still practice. Are you ready?
dlga_trainer_practice_1:trainer_practice_1.1|Way to go {lad/lass}. With this victory, you have advanced to the next training level. From now on your opponents will be regular fighters, not the riff-raff off the street, so be on your toes.
dlga_trainer_practice_1:trainer_practice_1.2|Way to go {lad/lass}. Welcome to the third training level. From now on your opponents will be veteran fighters; soldiers and arena regulars and the like. These guys know some dirty tricks, so keep your defense up.
dlga_trainer_practice_1:trainer_practice_1.3|You've got the heart of a champion, {lad/lass}, and the sword arm to match. From now on your opponents will be champion fighters. These are the cream of the crop, the finest warriors I have trained. If you can best three of them in a row, you will join their ranks.
dlga_trainer_practice_1:novicemaster_finish_training|It does my heart good to see such a promising talent. You have passed all tiers of training. You can now tell everyone that you have been trained by the master of the training field.
dlga_novicemaster_finish_training:novicemaster_finish_training_2|Thank you master.
dlga_novicemaster_finish_training_2:close_window|I wish you good luck in the tournaments. And, don't forget, if you want to practice your swordwork anytime, just come and say the word.
dlga_trainer_practice_1:novicemaster_are_you_ready.1|Your next opponent will be a {s9}. You need to win {reg8} more fights in a row to advance to the next stage. Are you ready?
dlga_novicemaster_are_you_ready:novicemaster_ready_to_fight|Yes I am.
dlga_novicemaster_ready_to_fight:close_window|Here you go then. Good luck.
dlga_novicemaster_are_you_ready:novicemaster_not_ready|Just a minute. I am not ready yet.
dlga_novicemaster_not_ready:close_window|Hey, You will never make it if you don't practice.
dlga_start_craftsman_soon:close_window|Good day, my {reg59?lady:lord}. We hope to begin production in about {reg4} days
dlga_start:master_craftsman_talk|Good day, my {reg59?lady:lord}. We are honored that you have chosen to visit us. What do you require?
dlga_master_craftsman_pretalk:master_craftsman_talk|Very good, my {reg59?lady:lord}. Do you require anything else?
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_accounts|Let's go over the accounts.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_pretalk|Let's check the inventories.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_pretalk.1|I'd like you to sell goods as they are produced.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_pretalk.2|I'd like you to keep all goods in the warehouse until I arrive.
dlga_master_craftsman_accounts:master_craftsman_pretalk|We currently produce {s3} worth {reg1} coins each week, while the quantity of {s4} needed to manufacture it costs {reg2}, and labor and upkeep are {reg3}.{s9} This means that we theoretically make a {s12} of {reg0} coins a week, assuming that we have no raw materials in the inventories, and that we sell directly to the market.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_production_options|Could you explain my options related to production?
dlga_master_craftsman_production_options:master_craftsman_production_options_2|Certainly, my {reg59?lady:lord}. Most of the time, the most profitable thing for you to do would be to let us buy raw materials and sell the finished goods directly to the market. Because of our longstanding relations with the local merchants, we can usually get a very good price.
dlga_master_craftsman_production_options_2:master_craftsman_pretalk|However, if you find that you can acquire raw materials cheaper outside {s5}, you may place them in the inventories, and we will use them instead of buying from the market. Likewise, if you feel that you can get a better price for the finished goods elsewhere, then you may ask us to deposit what we produce in our warehouses for you to take.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:master_craftsman_auction_price|It will no longer be possible for me to continue operating this enterprise.
dlga_master_craftsman_auction_price:master_craftsman_auction_decide|A pity, my {reg59?lady:lord}. If we sell the land and the equipment, and liquidate the inventories, I estimate that we can get {reg4} coins.
dlga_master_craftsman_auction_decide:master_craftsman_liquidation|That sounds reasonable. Please proceed with the sale.
dlga_master_craftsman_auction_decide:master_craftsman_pretalk|Hmm. Let's hold off on that.
dlga_master_craftsman_liquidation:close_window|As you wish. It was an honor to have been in your employ.
dlga_master_craftsman_talk:close_window.1|That is all for now.
dlga_start:mayor_begin|Good day, my lord.
dlga_start:mayor_talk|Hello {s6}, you seem to be new to {s9}. I am the guild master of the town.
dlga_start:mayor_begin.1|Good day, {playername}.
dlga_mayor_begin:lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_completed|{playername}, it was an incredible feat to get {s14} and {s15} make peace, and you made it happen. Your involvement has not only saved our town from disaster, but it has also saved thousands of lives, and put an end to all the grief this bitter war has caused. As the townspeople of {s19}, know that we'll be good on our word, and we are ready to pay the {reg12} coins we promised.
dlga_lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_completed:lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_pay|Thank you. Let me have the money.
dlga_lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_completed:lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_no_pay|No need for a payment. I only did what was right.
dlga_lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_pay:close_window|Oh, yes, of course. We had already got the money for you. Here, please accept these {reg12} coins together with our most sincere thanks. Me and the people of our town will not forget your help.
dlga_lord_persuade_lords_to_make_peace_no_pay:close_window|You are indeed an extraordinary person, {reg59?madam:sir}, and it is an honour for me to have known you. You not only did what was impossible and put an end to this terrible war, but you won't even accept a reward for it. Very well, I will not insist on the matter, but please know that you will have our eternal respect and gratitude.
dlga_mayor_begin:lord_deal_with_night_bandits_completed|Very nice work, {playername}, you made short work of those lawless curs. Thank you kindly for all your help, and please accept this bounty of 150 coin.
dlga_lord_deal_with_night_bandits_completed:close_window|It was my pleasure, {s65}.
dlga_mayor_begin:mayor_looters_quest_response|Ah, {playername}. Have you any progress to report?
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_response:mayor_looters_quest_destroyed|I've killed some looters.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_response:mayor_looters_quest_goods|I've brought you some goods.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_response:close_window|Not yet, sir. Farewell.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_destroyed:mayor_looters_quest_destroyed_2|Aye, my scouts saw the whole thing. That should make anyone else think twice before turning outlaw! The bounty is 40 coin for every band, so that makes {reg1} in total. Here is your money, as promised.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_destroyed_2:close_window|And that's not the only good news! Thanks to you, the looters have ceased to be a threat. We've not had a single attack reported for some time now. If there are any of them left, they've either run off or gone deep into hiding. That's good for business, and what's good for business is good for the town! I think that concludes our arrangement, {playername}. Please accept this silver as a token of my gratitude. Thank you, and farewell.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_destroyed_2:mayor_looters_quest_response|Anything else you need?
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods:mayor_looters_quest_goods_response|Hah, I knew I could count on you! Just tell me which item to take from your baggage, and I'll send some men to collect it. I still need {reg1} coin' worth of goods.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods_response:mayor_looters_quest_goods_2|{s5}.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods_response:mayor_looters_quest_goods_3|Nothing at the moment, sir.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods_3:mayor_looters_quest_response|Anything else you need?
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods_2:mayor_looters_quest_goods_response|Excellent, here is the money for your {s6}. Do you have any more goods to give me? I still need {reg1} coin' worth of goods.
dlga_mayor_looters_quest_goods_2:close_window|Well done, {playername}, that's the last of the goods I need. Here is the money for your {s6}, and a small bonus for helping me out. I'm afraid I won't be paying for any more goods, nor bounties on looters, but you're welcome to keep hunting the bastards if any remain. Thank you for your help, I won't forget it.
dlga_mayor_begin:close_window|Good to see you again {playername}. I have heard that you have delivered the cattle successfully. I will tell the merchants how reliable you are. And here is your pay, {reg8} coins.
dlga_mayor_begin:move_cattle_herd_failed|I heard that you have lost the cattle herd on your way to {s9}. I had a very difficult time explaining your failure to the owner of that herd, {reg59?madam:sir}. Do you have anything to say?
dlga_move_cattle_herd_failed:move_cattle_herd_failed_2|I am sorry. But I was attacked on the way.
dlga_move_cattle_herd_failed:move_cattle_herd_failed_2.1|I am sorry. The stupid animals wandered off during the night.
dlga_move_cattle_herd_failed_2:merchant_ask_for_debts|Well, it was your responsibility to deliver that herd safely, no matter what. You should know that the owner of the herd demanded to be compensated for his loss, and I had to pay him 1000 coins. So you now owe me that money.
dlga_mayor_begin:close_window.1|{playername} -- I am in your debt for bringing back my friend's daughter. Please take these {reg8} coins that I promised you. My friend wished he could give more but paying that ransom brought him to his knees.
dlga_mayor_begin:mayor_friendly_pretalk|Well -- it sounds like you were able to track down the bandits, and show them what happens to those who would disrupt the flow of commerce. Here is your reward: {reg5} coins. It is well earned, and we are most grateful.
dlga_mayor_begin:mayor_friendly_pretalk.1|I have heard about your deeds. You have given those bandits the punishment they deserved. You are really as good as they say. Here is your reward: {reg5} coins. I would like to give more but those bandits almost brought me to bankruptcy.
dlga_mayor_begin:merchant_ask_for_debts|According to my accounts, you owe the merchants guild {reg1} coins. I'd better collect that now.
dlga_merchant_ask_for_debts:merchant_debts_paid|Alright. I'll pay my debt to you.
dlga_merchant_debts_paid:mayor_pretalk|Excellent. I'll let my fellow merchants know that you are clear of any debts.
dlga_merchant_ask_for_debts:merchant_debts_not_paid|I'm afraid I can't pay that sum now.
dlga_merchant_debts_not_paid:close_window|In that case, I am afraid, I can't deal with you. Guild rules... Come back when you can pay the {reg1} coins. And know that we'll be charging an interest to your debt. So the sooner you pay it, the better.
dlga_mayor_begin:mayor_talk|What can I do for you?
dlga_mayor_friendly_pretalk:mayor_talk|Now... What else may I do for you?
dlga_mayor_pretalk:mayor_talk|Yes?
dlga_mayor_talk:mayor_info_begin|Can you tell me about what you do?
dlga_mayor_talk:merchant_quest_requested|Do you happen to have a job for me?
dlga_mayor_talk:merchant_quest_requested.1|About that job you offered me...
dlga_mayor_talk:merchant_quest_last_offered_job|About that job you offered me...
dlga_mayor_talk:merchant_quest_about_job|About the job you gave me...
dlga_mayor_talk:mayor_political_talk|I have some questions of a political nature.
dlga_mayor_talk:mayor_economy_report_1|How is trade around here?
dlga_mayor_talk:mayor_wealth_comparison_1|How does the wealth of this region compare with the rest of the Isles?
dlga_mayor_talk:mayor_investment_possible|I wish to buy land in this town for a productive enterprise
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_pretalk|You already operate a {s4} here. There probably aren't enough skilled tradesmen to start a second enterprise.
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_pretalk.1|{s9}
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_investment_advice.1|Of course, {reg59?madam:sir}. You are the lord of this town, and no one is going to stop you.
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_investment|Well... Given your relationship with our liege, {s4}, I think that you will not find many here who are brave enough to sell you any land.
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_pretalk.2|Well... To be honest, I think that we in the guild would like to know you a little better. We can be very particular about outsiders coming in here and buying land.
dlga_mayor_investment_possible:mayor_investment_advice.2|Very good, {reg59?my lady:sir}. We in the guild know and trust you, and I think I could find someone to sell you the land you need.
dlga_mayor_investment_advice:investment_choose_enterprise|A couple of things to keep in mind -- skilled laborers are always at a premium, so I doubt that you will be able to open up more than one enterprise here. In order to make a profit for yourself, you should choose a commodity which is in relatively short supply, but for which the raw materials are cheap. What sort of enterprise would you like to start?
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary|A mill and bakery, to make bread from grain
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.1|A brewery, to make ale from grain
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.2|A tannery, to make leather from hides
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.3|A wine press, to make wine from grapes
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.4|Tar ovens, to make tar
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.5|An ironworks, to make tools or weapons from iron
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.6|A lumber mill, to make timber pallets
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.7|A weavery, to make wool cloth from wool
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:investment_summary.8|A weavery, to make linen from flax
dlga_investment_choose_enterprise:mayor_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_investment_summary:mayor_investment_confirm|Very good, {reg59?my lady:sir}. The land and the materials on which you may build your {s3} will cost you {reg7} coins. Right now, your {s3} will produce {s4} worth {reg1} coins each week, while the {s6} needed to manufacture that batch will be {reg2} and labor and upkeep will be {reg3}.{s9} I should guess that your profit would be {reg0} coins a week. This assumes of course that prices remain constant -- which, I can virtually guarantee you, they will not. Do you wish to proceed?
dlga_mayor_investment_confirm:mayor_investment_purchase|Yes. Here is money for the land.
dlga_mayor_investment_confirm:mayor_pretalk|No -- that's not economical for me at the moment.
dlga_mayor_investment_purchase:mayor_pretalk|Very good. Your enterprise should be up and running in about a week. When next you come, and thereafter, you should speak to your {s4} about its operations.
dlga_mayor_talk:close_window|[Leave]
dlga_mayor_info_begin:mayor_info_talk|I am the guildmaster of {s9}. You can say I am the leader of the good people of {s9}. I can help you find a job if you are looking for some honest work.
dlga_mayor_info_talk:mayor_info_lord|Who rules this town?
dlga_mayor_info_lord:mayor_info_talk|Our town's lord and protector is {s10}. He owns the castle and sometimes resides there, and collects taxes from the town. However we regulate ourselves in most of the matters that concern ourselves. As the town's guildmaster I have the authority to decide those things.
dlga_mayor_info_talk:mayor_pretalk|That's all I need to know. Thanks.
dlga_mayor_political_talk:mayor_political_questions|Politics? Good heaven, the guild has nothing to do with politics. We are loyal servants of {s10}. We merely govern our own affairs, and pass on the townspeople's concerns to our lords and masters, and maybe warn them from time to time against evil advice. Anyway, what did you wish to ask?
dlga_mayor_prepolitics:mayor_political_questions|Did I mention that we here are all {s9}? Because I can't stress that enough... Anyway... Is there anything else?
dlga_mayor_political_questions:mayor_war_description_1|What is the cause of all these wars here?
dlga_mayor_war_description_1:mayor_war_description_2|Well, to answer your question generally, each monarch claims to be the only one that can unite these Islands under a single nation, as in the times of Rome. Some of these claims are based on a forgotten dream and others are based on obscure promises, while {s22} Saxons are here for one purpose, to conqure and burn! So regardless, any one realm has the right to declare war on any other realm at any time.
dlga_mayor_war_description_2:mayor_war_description_3|In practice, to make war is exhausting work. It is easy enough to lay waste to the enemy's farmland, but crops will grow back, and it is a far different matter to capture an enemy stronghold and to hold it. So the monarchs of these lands will fight a little, sign a truce, fight a little more, and so on and so forth. Often, a monarch will go to war when another realm provokes them. At such times, some bad influences who look to enrich themselves with ransoms and pillage will clamor for retribution, and thus the damage caused by war to a monarch's treasury is less than the damage caused by doing nothing would be to his authority... I'm of course not talking about {s10}, as no one would ever question {reg4?her:his} authority
dlga_mayor_war_description_3:mayor_war_description_4|I would stress again that we in the guild have nothing to do with politics. But if {s10} were to ask for my advice on these matters, as a loyal subject, I would tell {reg4?her:him} that while {reg4?her:his} claim to all these lands is truly just, even the most legitimate claim must be backed by armed men, and armed men want money, and money comes from trade, and war ruins trade, so sometimes the best way to push a claim is not to push it, if you know what I mean...
dlga_mayor_war_description_4:mayor_prepolitics|You may tell {s10} this if you see {reg4?her:him}. Don't mention my name specifically -- just say 'the people of {s4}' told you this. Our personal opinion, of course, as to what would be in {s10}'s best interests. None of us would ever dream of questioning a monarch's sovereign right to push {reg4?her:his} legitimate claims.
dlga_mayor_political_questions:mayor_politics_assess|What is {s10}'s policy in regards to the other kingdoms?
dlga_mayor_politics_assess:mayor_politics_assess_realm|Which realm did you have in mind?
dlga_mayor_politics_assess_realm:mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment|{s11}
dlga_mayor_politics_give_realm_assessment:mayor_prepolitics|{s14}
dlga_mayor_political_questions:mayor_internal_politics|What can you say about the internal politics of the realms?
dlga_mayor_internal_politics:mayor_internal_politics_2|Well, here in the {s4} we are all united by our love for {s5} and support for {reg4?her:his} legitimate claim to the rulership of all these lands. But I have heard some talk of internal bickering in other realms...
dlga_mayor_internal_politics_2:mayor_internal_politics_3|The lords of a realm often have very different ideas about honor, strategy, and the way a nobleman should behave. In addition, they compete with each other for the ruler's favor, and are constantly weighing up their position -- how they stand, how their friends and family stand, and how their enemies stand.
dlga_mayor_internal_politics_3:mayor_internal_politics_4|Underlying all the tensions is the possibility that a lord may abandon his liege, and pledge vassalhood to another. In theory, each lord has sworn an oath of vassalage, but in practice, a vassal can always find an excuse to absolve himself. The vassal may claim that the liege has failed to hold up his end of the bargain, to protect the vassal and treat him justly. Or, the vassal may claim that his liege is in fact a usurper, and another has a better claim to the kingship.
dlga_mayor_internal_politics_4:mayor_internal_politics_5|Lieges and vassals still watch each other carefully. If a king believes that his vassal is going to change sides or rebel, he may indict the vassal for treason and seize his properties. Likewise, if a vassal fears that he will be indicted, he may rebel. Usually, whoever makes the first move will be able to control the vassal's fortresses.
dlga_mayor_internal_politics_5:mayor_prepolitics|Now, men do not trust a vassal who turns coat easily, nor do they trust a king who lightly throws around charges of treason. Those two factors can keep a realm together. But if relations between a vassal and a liege deteriorate far enough, things can become very tense indeed... In other lands, of course. These things could never happen here in the {s4}.
dlga_mayor_political_questions:mayor_pretalk|That is all. Thank you.
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job:merchant_quest_about_job_2|What about it?
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2:merchant_quest_what_if_fail|What if I can't finish it?
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2:merchant_quest_about_job_working|Well, I'm still working on it.
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_working:mayor_pretalk|Good. I'm sure you will handle it.
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2:merchant_quest_about_job_2a|Indeed. I brought you {reg5} loads of {s33}.
dlga_merchant_quest_about_job_2a:mayor_pretalk|Good news, {playername}. I will let the merchant know, so he can come and get his materials. For now, please take the {s33} you brought to the storage over there. And of course, here is your reward.
dlga_merchant_quest_last_offered_job:merchant_quest_brief|Eh, you want to reconsider that. Good...
dlga_merchant_quest_what_if_fail:mayor_pretalk|I hope you don't fail. In that case, I'll have to ask for the price of the cargo you were carrying.
dlga_merchant_quest_what_if_fail:mayor_pretalk.1|Well, just do your best to finish it.
dlga_merchant_quest_taken:mayor_pretalk|Excellent. I am counting on you then. Good luck.

dlga_merchant_quest_requested:merchant_quest_brief|Well, you look able enough. I think I might have something you could do.
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:merchant_quest_looters_choice|We've had some fighting near the {s5} lately, with all the chaos that comes with it, and that's led some of our less upstanding locals to try and make their fortune out of looting the shops and farms during the confusion. A lot of valuable goods were taken. I need somebody to teach those bastards a lesson. Sound like your kind of work?
dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice:merchant_quest_looters_brief|Aye, I'll do it.
dlga_merchant_quest_looters_choice:merchant_quest_stall|I'm afraid I can't take the job at the moment.
dlga_merchant_quest_looters_brief:close_window|Excellent! You'll find the looters roaming around the countryside, probably trying to rob more good people. Kill or capture the bastards, I don't care what you do with them. I'll pay you a bounty of 40 coins on every band of looters you destroy, until all the looters are dealt with.
dlga_merchant_quest_requested:merchant_quest_explain_2|Well, there is a very great favor which you could do us... As you may have heard, some {s10}s have come across the border to attack our people. {s5} is under great pressure from some of the more bellicose of his vassals to respond with a declaration of war. Unfortunately, while the great lords of this land grow rich from bloodshed, we of the commons will be caught in the middle, and will suffer.
dlga_merchant_quest_explain_2:merchant_quest_brief|We are not saying that {s5} should overlook this aggression -- far from it! But if he charges one of his own lords to respond, then the cycle of provocation will necessarily lead to a full-fledged confrontation. Now, if an outsider were to step in and defeat a {s10} lord in battle, then honor would be done, and it would defuse the clamor for war. If the defeated lord were a known troublemaker -- {s7} -- then the {s10}s might be able to overlook it.
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm|We need you to attack and defeat {s7}. This will not be an easy task, and that outsider would damage {his/her} relationship with the {s10}s, but we would be very grateful. We could not acknowledge a connection with that outsider, but we could be sure that {reg59?she:he} would be handsomely rewarded... Could you do this?
dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm:merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief|Aye, I can do it.
dlga_merchant_quest_retaliate_confirm:merchant_pretalk|I would prefer not to get mixed up in such things
dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief:merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice|The raiders are likely to have laid up their ships in a well-concealed cove, somewhere along the coastline, preferably next to a small stream where they have some water. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of Saxon raiders who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply, and follow them.
dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief:merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice.1|Bandits such as these usually establish their hideouts in the foothills on the edge of the desert, often in a canyon near a spring. This gives them both water and concealment. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of Angle Renegades who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply, and follow them.
dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief:merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice.2|Bandits such as these will usually establish a base in the highlands, often on an steep ledge where they have a view of the surrounding countryside. This makes them difficult to surprise. The best way to discover its location would be to find a group of Saxon outlaws who appear to be heading back to their base to resupply, and follow them.
dlga_destroy_lair_quest_brief:merchant_quest_track_bandit_lair_choice.3|Bandits such as these will usually set up their encampments deep in the woods, sometimes in the middle of a swamp.

dlga_merchant_quest_brief:merchant_quest_track_bandits_choice|We would like you to track these {s4} down. The merchants of the town were able to get a description of their leader, and have put together a bounty. If you can hunt them down and destroy them, we'll make it worth your while...
dlga_merchant_quest_track_bandits_choice:merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief|Aye, I'll do it.
dlga_merchant_quest_track_bandits_brief: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_merchant_quest_brief_deliver_wine:merchant_quest_stall|I am afraid I can't carry all that cargo now.
dlga_merchant_quest_requested:merchant_quest_brief.3|You're looking for a job? Actually I was looking for someone to escort a caravan. Perhaps you can do that...
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:escort_merchant_caravan_quest_brief|I am going to send a caravan of goods to {s8}. However with all those bandits and deserters on the roads, I don't want to send them out without an escort. If you can lead that caravan to {s8} in 15 days, you will earn {reg8} coins. Of course your party needs to be at least {reg4} strong to offer them any protection.
dlga_escort_merchant_caravan_quest_brief:merchant_quest_taken|Alright. I will escort the caravan.
dlga_escort_merchant_caravan_quest_brief:merchant_quest_stall|I am afraid I don't have that many soldiers with me.

dlga_merchant_quest_requested:merchant_quest_brief.4|Actually, I was looking for an able adventurer like you. There's this group of particularly troublesome bandits. They have infested the vicinity of our town and are preying on my caravans. They have avoided all the soldiers and the militias up to now. If someone doesn't stop them soon, I am going to be ruined...
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:troublesome_bandits_quest_brief|I will pay you {reg8} coins if you hunt down those troublesome bandits. It's dangerous work. But I believe that you are the {reg59?one:man} for it. What do you say?

A group of bandits have kidnapped the daughter of a friend of mine and are holding her for ransom. My friend is ready to pay them, but we still need someone to take the money to those rascals and bring the girl back to safety.
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:kidnapped_girl_quest_brief|The amount the bandits ask as ransom is {reg12} coins. I will give you that money once you accept to take the quest. You have 15 days to take the money to the bandits who will be waiting near the village of {s4}. Those bastards said that they are going to kill the poor girl if they don't get the money by that time. You will get your pay of {reg8} coins when you bring the girl safely back here.
dlga_kidnapped_girl_quest_brief:kidnapped_girl_quest_taken|All right. I will take the ransom money to the bandits and bring back the girl.
dlga_kidnapped_girl_quest_taken:close_window|Good. I knew we could trust you at this. Here is the ransom money, {reg12} coins. Count it before taking it. And please, don't attempt to do anything rash. Keep in mind that the girl's well being is more important than anything else...

dlga_merchant_quest_requested:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_1|This war between {s15} and {s14} has brought our town to the verge of ruin. Our caravans get raided before they can reach their destination. Our merchants are afraid to leave the safety of the town walls. And as if those aren't enough, the taxes to maintain the war take away the last bits of our savings. If peace does not come soon, we can not hold on for much longer.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_1:merchant_quest_brief|You are right. But who can stop this madness called war?
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_1:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_reject|It is your duty to help the nobles in their war effort. You shouldn't complain about it.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_reject:close_window|Hah. The nobles fight their wars for their greed and their dreams of glory. And it is poor honest folk like us who have to bear the real burden. But you obviously don't want to hear about that.
dlga_merchant_quest_brief:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_3|There have been attempts to reconcile the two sides and reach a settlement. However, there are powerful lords on both sides whose interests lie in continuing the war. These men urge all others not to heed to the word of sensible men, but to keep fighting.

dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_5:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_6.1|Alas, it seems nothing can be done about it.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_6:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_7|There is a way to resolve the issue. A particularly determined person can perhaps persuade one or both of these lords to accept making peace. And even if that fails, it can be possible to see that these lords are defeated by force and taken prisoner. If they are captive, they will lose their influence and they can no longer oppose a settlement... What do you think? Can you do it?
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_7:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_8|It seems difficult. But I will try.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_7:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_8.1|If the price is right, I may.

dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_8:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_9|Most of the merchants in the town will gladly open up their purses to support such a plan. I think we can collect {reg12} coins between ourselves. We will be happy to reward you with that sum, if you can work this out. Convince {s12} and {s13} to accept a peace settlement, and if either of them proves too stubborn, make sure he falls captive and can not be ransomed until a peace deal is settled.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_9:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_10|All right. I will do my best.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_9:merchant_quest_persuade_peace_no|Sorry. I can not do this.
dlga_merchant_quest_persuade_peace_10:close_window|Excellent. You will have our blessings. I hope you can deal with those two old goats. We will be waiting and hoping for the good news.

dlga_start:village_elder_deliver_cattle_thank.2|My good {reg59?madam:sir}. Our village is grateful for your help. The slave will be punished now.
dlga_start:village_elder_pretalk|My good {reg59?madam:sir}. You tried, but you returned without the slave. I guess you couldn't find him...
dlga_start:village_elder_bride_special|My good {reg59?lady:lord}. You tried, but you've returned without the bride. I guess you couldn't find her... my man will be most upset, but will perhaps move on now.
dlga_village_elder_bride_special:village_elder_bride_special2|Oh I found the bride, and she told me why she left. It seems your man is a brute who should never know the love of a good woman
dlga_village_elder_bride_special2:village_elder_pretalk|Is this true my {reg59?lady:lord}? Well then I shall talk to this man, and I will warn others not to become involved with him. I do thank you for letting me know.
dlga_village_elder_bride_special:village_elder_bride_special3|Oh I found the bride, and she told me why she left. Please summon this man to me at once!
dlga_village_elder_bride_special3:close_window|Of course my {reg59?lady:lord}, here he is.

dlga_village_elder_pretalk:village_elder_talk|Is there anything else I can do for you?
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_ask_music|Have you seen any horn-playing guards around here?
dlga_village_elder_ask_music:village_elder_pretalk|Strangers come and go to our village, {reg59?madam:sir}, but I doubt you'll run into him at this hour of the night. You would have better luck during the day.
dlga_village_elder_ask_music:close_window|Hmmm, there was someone like that here a few days ago {reg59?madam:sir}, but you missed them. I believe they mentioned they were headed towards {s7}, you should look there.
dlga_village_elder_ask_music:close_window.1|Strangers come and go to our village, {reg59?madam:sir}. Haven't heard or seen anyone like that, but if he is hiding here, you might be able to find him if you look around.
dlga_village_elder_ask_music:close_window.2|Strangers come and go to our village, {reg59?madam:sir}. However I have heard some sweet sounds of a horn lately, but don't know if... hmm... You are welcome to look around.
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_ask_ghost|I am looking for someone who may or may not be a ghost.
dlga_village_elder_ask_ghost:close_window|A ghost? Hah! Ghosts don't appear during the day! Try finding him at night!
dlga_village_elder_ask_ghost:close_window.1|A ghost? Ghosts don't appear on their own! You need to walk by him to wake him up.
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_ask_fugitive|I am looking for a man by the name of {s4}. I was told he may be hiding here.
dlga_village_elder_ask_fugitive:village_elder_pretalk|Strangers come and go to our village, {reg59?madam:sir}. But I doubt you'll run into him at this hour of the night. You would have better luck during the day.
dlga_village_elder_ask_fugitive:close_window|Strangers come and go to our village, {reg59?madam:sir}. If he is hiding here, you will surely find him if you look around.
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_active_mission_1|About the task you asked of me...
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_request_mission_ask|Do you have any tasks I can help you with?
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_trade_begin|I want to buy some supplies. I will pay with gold.
dlga_village_elder_trade_begin:village_elder_trade_talk|Of course, {reg59?madam:sir}. Do you want to buy goods or cattle?
dlga_village_elder_trade_talk:village_elder_trade|I want to buy food and supplies.
dlga_village_elder_trade:village_elder_pretalk|We have some food and other supplies in our storehouse. Come have a look.
dlga_village_elder_trade_talk:village_elder_buy_cattle|I want to buy some cattle.
dlga_village_elder_trade_talk:village_elder_pretalk|I changed my mind. I don't need to buy anything.
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_ask_enemies|Have you seen any enemies around here recently?
dlga_village_elder_ask_enemies:village_elder_pretalk|I am sorry, {reg59?madam:sir}. We have neither seen nor heard of any war parties in this area.

dlga_village_elder_tell_enemies:village_elder_pretalk|No, {reg59?madam:sir}. We haven't seen any war parties in this area for some time.
dlga_village_elder_tell_enemies:village_elder_pretalk.1|Well, I guess that was all.
dlga_village_elder_talk:village_elder_ask_set_fire|I need you to set a large fire on the outskirts of this village.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire:close_window|We have already agreed upon this, {reg59?madam:sir}. I will do my best. You can trust me.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire:village_elder_ask_set_fire_1|A fire, {reg59?madam:sir}! Fires are dangerous! Why would you want such a thing?
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire:village_elder_ask_set_fire_5|I believe that we have already discussed this issue, {reg59?my lady:sir}.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire:village_elder_ask_set_fire_5.1|We talked about this {reg59?madam:sir} before and your previous offers were low compared to risk you want me to take.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_1:village_elder_ask_set_fire_2|I have my reasons, and you will have yours -- a purse of silver. Will you do it, or not?
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_1:village_elder_ask_set_fire_explain_plan|Given the risk you are taking, you are entitled to know my plan.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_explain_plan:village_elder_ask_set_fire_2|I wish to rescue a prisoner from {s4}. When you light the fire, the guards in {s4} will see the smoke, and some of them will rush outside to see what is going on.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_2:village_elder_ask_set_fire_9|As you wish, {reg59?my lady:sir}. You have been a good friend to this village, and, even though there is a risk, we should be glad to return the favor. When do you want this fire to start?
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_2:close_window|I'm sorry, {reg59?my lady:sir}. You will forgive me for saying this, but we don't exactly have good reason to trust you. This is too dangerous.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_2:village_elder_ask_set_fire_3|As you say, {reg59?my lady:sir}. But in doing this, we are taking a very great risk. What's in it for us?
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_3:village_elder_ask_set_fire_4|I can give you 100 coin.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_3:village_elder_ask_set_fire_6|I can give you 200 coins.

dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_3:close_window|Never mind.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_4:village_elder_talk|This is madness. I cannot take such a risk.

dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_5:village_elder_ask_set_fire_6|Then let's increase your reward to 300 coin.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_5:village_elder_ask_set_fire_6.1|Then let's increase your reward to 300 coin. This is my last offer.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_5:close_window|Never mind.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_6:village_elder_ask_set_fire_9|Very well. You are asking me to take a very great risk, but I will do it. When do you want this fire to start?
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_7:village_elder_talk|I cannot do such a dangerous thing for 200 coin.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_9:village_elder_ask_set_fire_10|Continue with your preparations. One hour from now, I need that fire.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_9:village_elder_ask_set_fire_11|Do this in at the stroke of midnight. I will wait exactly one hour.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_10:close_window|Very well, {reg59?my lady:sir}. We will make our preparations. Now you make yours.
dlga_village_elder_ask_set_fire_11:close_window|As you wish, {reg59?my lady:sir}. {s8} protect you.

dlga_village_elder_buy_cattle_complete:village_elder_pretalk|I will tell the herders to round up the animals and bring them to you, {reg59?madam:sir}. I am sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.
dlga_village_elder_recruit_start:village_elder_talk|I don't think anyone would be interested, {reg59?my lady:sir}. Is there anything else I can do for you?
dlga_village_elder_recruit_start:village_elder_recruit_decision|I can think of {reg5} whom I suspect would jump at the chance. If you could pay 10 coin {reg7?each for their equipment:for his equipment}. Does that suit you?
dlga_village_elder_recruit_decision:village_elder_pretalk|Tell {reg7?them:him} to make ready.

dlga_village_elder_request_mission_ask:village_elder_pretalk.1|No {reg59?madam:sir}, We don't have any other tasks for you.
dlga_village_elder_request_mission_ask:village_elder_tell_mission|A task?
dlga_village_elder_tell_mission:village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission|{reg59?My lady:Good sir}, our village has been hard done by lately.

dlga_village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission:village_elder_deliver_grain_mission_reject|I can't be bothered with this. Ask help from someone else.
dlga_village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission_2:village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission_3|I think {reg5} should be a good start. Hopefully, we can convince local travelers to move here and help us with the rest.
dlga_village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission_3:village_elder_deliver_grain_mission_accept|Then I will go and find you the people you need.
dlga_village_elder_tell_deliver_slaves_mission_3:village_elder_deliver_grain_mission_reject|I am afraid I don't have time for this. You'll need to find help elsewhere.
dlga_village_elder_tell_mission:village_elder_tell_capture_slave_mission|One of our slaves has overwhelmed his owner and fled. You look like a {reg59?woman:man} of war strong enough to capture him.

dlga_village_elder_tell_mission:village_elder_tell_capture_mission|{reg59?My good lady:My good lord}, we have a bit of a problem on our hands. Although the harvest was good, and we are not doing that badly either, yet recently a man from here was left standing at the alter! His bride from the next village simply refused to show for the wedding. God knows why, the two seemed happy enough and as I say, our little village isn't a bad place to start a family. You look like a {reg59?lady:man} of the sword. Would you be able to capture and bring us back this runaway bride so our poor man can stop crying and start farming?
dlga_village_elder_tell_mission:village_elder_tell_disease_mission|{reg59?My good lady:My good lord}, we have a bit of a problem here. It seems recently a disease has began spreading through the village! Many have already died and our own healers seem unable to stop the spread. You as our {reg59?lady:lord} must help us! Would you be kind enough to travel to one of the larger towns and convince a healer to come to our aid?
dlga_village_elder_tell_disease_mission:village_elder_deliver_grain_mission_accept|Yes, I will go and find you a healer at once.
dlga_village_elder_tell_disease_mission:village_elder_deliver_grain_mission_reject|I am afraid I don't have time for this. You'll need to find help elsewhere.

dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_reject:close_window|Yes, {reg59?my lady:my lord}, of course. I am sorry if I have bothered you with our troubles.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3b:village_elder_capture_mission_4b|I'm not sure how common this is... But won't this cause issues with me and the ladies village?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3b:village_elder_capture_mission_4b.1|That sounds fascinating. Perhaps I will take you up on that offer when I'm ready...
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3b:village_elder_capture_mission_4b.2|You seem to know a lot about women, my good man. This all seems so logical now.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3b:village_elder_capture_mission_4b.3|I have to admit I'm really excited about undertaking this mission.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3b:village_elder_capture_mission_4b.4|Perhaps we should, I can smell a good reward coming my way.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3a:village_elder_capture_mission_4a|Would you consider taking one of my women warriors instead?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3a:village_elder_capture_mission_4a.1|Is there a reward?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3a:village_elder_capture_mission_4a.2|I have to admit that you make a lot of sense.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3a:village_elder_capture_mission_4a.3|Your men lack willpower, but they're lowly peasants after all...
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_3a:village_elder_capture_mission_reject|Sorry, but you have failed to convince me.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4a:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c|Well, we will highly appreciate your {reg59?Ladyship's:Lordship's} helping us. What kind of reward do you have in mind?
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4a:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.1|I am glad that you can be made to see reason. Your {reg59?Ladyship's:Lordship's} help will be most appreciated, of course.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4a:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.2|Yes, my {reg59?lady:lord}, these men are weak. They're chock full of temptations. Wouldn't it make sense for you to help them be at peace with themselves? Your help, of course, will be appreciated.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4a:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.3|I apologize, my {reg59?lady:lord}, but my man hardly needs a spear-wielding warrior wife. They need women who can work the fields and take care of the animals, not pull a knife out when an argument arises.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4b:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c|Well, your {reg59?Ladyship:Lordship} could possibly understand how what we are asking is a delicate matter, and could be dangerous for one's well-being. You will need to approach this carefully, but your aid will be rewarded.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4b:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.1|Your {reg59?Ladyship:Lordship} will always be welcome in our village, especially if he helps us with this delicate problem. I assure you, our gratitude is not limited just to this invitation.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4b:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.2|My {reg59?lady:lord}, I'm old and have seen and heard a lot of things. I can definitely see the way the world works. Women play a very important role in men's lives, inspiring and guiding them. If you can help us with our little problem, we will find a way to show our gratitude.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4b:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.3|Yes, my {reg59?lady:lord}, you really should be excited. Judging from the sparkles in your eyes, you are really up to this little challenge, aren't you? We are, too, your Highness, as it will relieve our man of their anxiety. Your help, of course, will be duly appreciated.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4b:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c.4|My {reg59?lady's:lord's} intuition is second to none. What kind of reward can you smell?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c:village_elder_capture_mission_4d|Cash, my good man. {reg25} of it, give or take.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c:village_elder_capture_mission_4c1|Perhaps you're right. What's in it for me?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c:village_elder_capture_mission_4c1.1|I'm sure my efforts will be appreciated, but I'd like something more tangible, like cash.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c:village_elder_capture_mission_4c1.2|Yes, I will help you, but I would require something more tangible than appreciation.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c:village_elder_capture_mission_reject|Sorry, but you failed to convince me.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4c1:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c2|Oh, I see. {reg59?Her ladyship:His lordship} desires coins. How many would {reg59?she:he} like?
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c2:village_elder_capture_mission_4d|I think {reg25} coins would suffice.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c2:village_elder_capture_mission_4d.1|I think we can settle on {reg25} coins.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c2:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_5a|I think you misunderstood me. I don't need your money. I will do this for the sport of it!
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_4c2:village_elder_capture_mission_4d.2|{reg25} coin - I think your village can handle this amount.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4d:village_elder_capture_mission_4d1|{s33}
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4d1:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_5a|Hmmm, alright, {reg25} coins will do. Where do find this bride?
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_4d1:village_elder_capture_mission_reject|Hmmm, {reg25} coins is far too little. I have better things to do. Good day.
dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_5a:village_elder_tell_capture_mission_6|That's the spirit!. You will no doubt find this lady in her village of {s6}

dlga_village_elder_tell_capture_mission_6:village_elder_capture_mission_reject|I am afraid I don't have time for this. You'll need to find help elsewhere.
dlga_village_elder_capture_mission_accept:close_window|Thank you, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. May your path guide you to the bride safely.
dlga_village_elder_active_mission_2:village_elder_healer_thank|Indeed. I have brought you a healer from the next town.

dlga_village_elder_active_mission_2:bride_check_new|Indeed. I met with the Bride.

dlga_bride_quest2:bride_beaten_womentowomen|Oh the dress you mean? Well I wouldn't normally confide this to just anyone, but since you're a fellow lady - perhaps you will understand.

He forced himself upon me, and when I resisted he struck me...^^ Oh and his eyes, I will never forget how those eyes looked at me, I could have never imagined this man capable of such hate.

dlga_arena_intro_2:arena_intro_3|Yes. You should see this place during one of the tournament fights. Everyone from the town and nearby villages comes here. The crowd becomes mad with excitement. Anyway, as I said, there won't be an event here soon, so there isn't much to see. Except, there is an official duel every now and then, and of course we have melee fights almost every day.
dlga_arena_intro_3:arena_training_melee_intro|Tell me about the melee fights.
dlga_arena_training_melee_intro:arena_training_melee_intro_2|The fighters and knights get bored waiting for the next tournament, so they have invented the training melee. It is a simple idea really.

dlga_arena_training_melee_intro_2:arena_training_melee_intro_reward|Is there a reward?
dlga_arena_training_melee_intro_reward:arena_training_melee_intro_2|There is, actually. Some of the wealthy townsmen offer prizes for those fighters who show great skill in the fights.

If you can manage to be the last {reg59?fighter:man} standing, you'll earn the great prize of the fights, {reg15} coin. Sounds good, eh?

dlga_arena_master_fight_result:arena_master_pre_talk|Ha-ha, that's quite the bruise you're sporting. But don't worry; everybody gets trounced once in awhile. The important thing is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep fighting. That's what champions do.
dlga_arena_master_fight_result:arena_master_pre_talk.1|Hey, you managed to take down {reg8} opponents. Not bad. But that won't bring you any prize money. Now, if I were you, I would go back there and show everyone what I can do...

dlga_tort_explained:torture_1|My {reg59?lady:lord}, I can beat and torture your enemies for your pleasure or if you want to make an enemy lord do something. For example, you can force an enemy lord to grant permission to court his daughter or sister, if such permission is hard to gain for you by any other means. Or you can force the lord to grant you parts of his rents from his fief for some time in exchange for freedom. If the lord is pagan and married, you can try to force him to divorce his wife. Then, of course, you will be free to pursue her as a free woman.

dlga_bandit_barter_2:bandit_barter_3b|I don't have that much money with me

dlga_town_dweller_ask_situation:town_dweller_poor.1|My life is miserable, {reg59?madam:sir}. I haven't been able to find a job for months, and my poor children go to bed hungry each night. My neighbours are too poor themselves to help me.
dlga_town_dweller_poor:town_dweller_poor_paid|Then take these 300 coins. I hope this will help you and your family.
dlga_town_dweller_poor:town_dweller_poor_not_paid|Then clearly you must travel somewhere else, or learn another trade.
dlga_town_dweller_poor_not_paid:close_window|Yes {reg59?madam:sir}. I will do as you say.
dlga_town_dweller_poor_paid:close_window|{reg59?My lady:My lord}. You are so good and generous. I will tell everyone how you helped us.
dlga_town_dweller_ask_situation:close_window|Thank you for your kindness {reg59?madam:sir}. With your help our lives will be better. I will pray for you everyday.
dlga_town_dweller_ask_situation:town_dweller_talk|We are not doing too badly {reg59?madam:sir}. We must count our blessings.
dlga_town_dweller_ask_situation:town_dweller_talk.1|Times are hard, {reg59?madam:sir}. But we must count our blessings.
dlga_town_dweller_ask_situation:town_dweller_talk.2|Times are hard, {reg59?madam:sir}. We work hard all day and yet we go to sleep hungry most nights.

dlga_start:close_window.118|Water...I need water...
dlga_start:player_castle_guard_talk|Yes {reg59?madam:sir}?
dlga_player_castle_guard_talk:player_castle_guard_talk_2|How goes the watch, soldier?
dlga_player_castle_guard_talk_2:player_castle_guard_talk_3|All is quiet {reg59?madam:sir}. Nothing to report.
dlga_player_castle_guard_talk_3:close_window|Good. Keep your eyes open.
dlga_start:close_window.119|Good day, {reg59?madam:sir}. Always an honor to have you here in {s10}.
dlga_start:close_window.120|Mind your manners within the walls and we'll have no trouble.
dlga_start:hall_guard_talk|Your orders, {reg59?my lady:my lord}?
dlga_start:quest_add_ryd|We are not supposed to talk while on guard, {reg59?madam:sir}.
dlga_quest_add_ryd:ask_about_ryd|I'm looking for a man named Rhygenydd, have you seen him?
dlga_quest_add_ryd:close_window|(say nothing)
dlga_ask_about_ryd:close_window|Yes he is a knight here, but no one has seen him for days and I fear the worse. You should talk to his grieving wife, she is in the tavern drinking away her sorrows.
dlga_start:close_window.121|We are not supposed to talk while on guard, {reg59?madam:sir}.
dlga_hall_guard_talk:hall_guard_duty|Stay on duty and let me know if anyone comes to see me.
dlga_hall_guard_duty:close_window|Yes, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. As you wish.
dlga_hall_guard_talk:hall_guard_arrest|I want you to arrest this man immediately!
dlga_hall_guard_arrest:hall_guard_arrest_2|Who do you want arrested {reg59?madam:sir}?
dlga_hall_guard_arrest_2:close_window|Ah, never mind my high spirits lads.
dlga_hall_guard_arrest_2:close_window.1|Forget it. I will find another way to deal with this.
dlga_enemy_defeated:close_window|Arggh! I hate this.
dlga_party_relieved:close_window|Thank you for helping us against those bastards.
dlga_start:battle_reason_stated|I will drink from your skull!
dlga_member_chat:regular_member_talk|Your orders {reg59?madam:sir}?
dlga_regular_member_talk:view_regular_char_requested|Tell me about yourself
dlga_view_regular_char_requested:do_regular_member_view_char|Aye {reg59?madam:sir}. Let me tell you all there is to know about me.
dlga_do_regular_member_view_char:regular_member_talk|Anything else?
dlga_regular_member_talk:ask_spydo|Tell me, what can you do for me?
dlga_regular_member_talk:ask_assasindo|Tell me, what can you do for me?
dlga_regular_member_talk:close_window|Nothing. Keep moving.
dlga_ask_spydo:regular_member_talk|I do a lot {reg59?lady:sir}, for one you can send me off to towns for reports and to sow discard. Also if you send me ahead of an army to a town you're about to siege, I can attempt to open the gates for you.^^(To send on missions, right click on a settlement on the map)
dlga_ask_assasindo:regular_member_talk|I can do much {reg59?lady:sir}, for one thing you can send me off on kill missions to enemy lords. I can therefore end your troubles with them in one quick and silent attack during the night... of course some would say this is dishonorable, and there is always the chance the lords family will learn who sent me. ^^(To send on missions, right click on a lord party on map)
dlga_start:party_encounter_hostile_attacker|You have no chance against us. Surrender now or we will kill you all...
dlga_party_encounter_hostile_attacker:close_window|We will fight you to the end!
dlga_party_encounter_hostile_attacker:close_window.1|Don't attack! We surrender.
dlga_start:party_encounter_hostile_defender|What do you want?
dlga_party_encounter_hostile_defender:party_encounter_hostile_ultimatum_surrender|Surrender or die!
dlga_party_encounter_hostile_ultimatum_surrender:close_window|{s43}
dlga_party_encounter_hostile_defender:close_window|Nothing. We'll leave you in peace.
dlga_merchant_end:close_window|Heh! I must really be in a tight spot, to place my hopes in a passing stranger. However, something about you tells me that my trust is not misplaced. Now, go see if you can round up some volunteers.
dlga_start:merchant_quest_4e|{s3}{s2}
dlga_merchant_quest_4e:merchant_finale|{s1}
dlga_merchant_quest_4e:merchant_finale.1|The Heavens alone grant us victory.
dlga_merchant_quest_4e:merchant_finale.2|I'm glad to see that you're alive, too.
dlga_merchant_finale:close_window|Yes, yes... Now, a couple of my boys have the watch captain pinned down in a back room, with a knife at his throat. I'll need to go drag him before {s5} and explain what this breach of the peace is all about. You don't need to be part of that, though. I'll tell you what -- if all goes well, I'll meet you in the tavern again shortly, and let you know how it all came out. If you don't see me in the tavern, but instead see my head on a spike over the city gate, I'll assume you know enough to stay out of town for a while and forget this whole episode ever happened. So -- hopefully we'll meet again!
dlga_start:merchant_quest_1_prologue_1|{s1}
dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_1:merchant_quest_1_prologue_2|We've always had brigands in the hills, driven to banditry by war, debt, or love of violence. Recently, however, they've been getting bolder -- leaving their camps in the wild and venturing into town, looking for unwary prey. The watch commander tells us it's because of all the fighting on the frontiers -- fewer men to keep an eye on the streets -- but I'm not sure what to make of that. It seems to me that the most logical explanation is that these bandits have an ally inside the walls, who helps them enter unnoticed and helps them identify particularly tempting targets... Last week, you see, they took my brother.
dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_2:merchant_quest_1_prologue_3|I don't know what my brother was thinking -- a lad from a prominent house, out alone after dark in times like these... Well, I suppose you were too, but you're a stranger here, and didn't know how bad things have become. He had no such excuse. But he's family, so what can you do? If you don't protect your kin, then people will start thinking that you can't protect your investments, either, and I can't have that... No doubt the gang will soon send word about a ransom, but I don't care to pay it.
dlga_merchant_quest_1_prologue_3:merchant_quest_1a.1|So here's my proposition. You look like you've had a bit of experience with a blade -- and more importantly, you must have a bit of fire in your belly, or you wouldn't be coming to these lands to seek your fortune. So here's what I'm asking you to do: gather a small party, track down these bandits to their lair, teach them a lesson they won't forget, and get my brother back safe. In return, you'll earn my lasting gratitude and a bit of silver. What do you say?
dlga_merchant_quest_1a:merchant_quest_1b.1|I am interested.
dlga_merchant_quest_1a:close_window|I am not interested, have more important business to do.
dlga_merchant_quest_1b:merchant_quest_1c.1|You won't be able to do this by yourself, though. If you try and take on the whole gang singlehandedly, the hunter will become the hunted, I'll warrant. You'll first want to round up a group of volunteers. There's always a few lads in the villages around here, looking for a bit of work that's more interesting than tilling the soil or hauling water. They'll follow you if you pay. So... Take this purse of 100 coins. Consider it an advance on your reward. Go round to the villages, and use the money to hire some help. I'll reckon that you need at least five men to take on these bandits.
dlga_merchant_quest_1c:merchant_quest_1d|Very good, sir. I'll go collect some men from around the villages.
dlga_merchant_quest_1d:close_window|Good. You can find me again in the tavern here in {s1} after you've got your group together. Then we'll speak about what we do next.
dlga_start:battle_reason_stated.1|Surrender or die. Make your choice
dlga_battle_reason_stated:close_window|I am not afraid of you. I will fight.
dlga_start:free|Hello. What can I do for you?
dlga_free:view_char_requested|Tell me about yourself
dlga_view_char_requested:view_char|Very well, listen to this...
dlga_view_char:free|Anything else?
dlga_end:close_window|[Done]
dlga_start:threaten_1|Drop your weapons and surrender if you want to live
dlga_threaten_1:end|We will fight you first
dlga_member_direct_campaign:member_direct_campaign_choice|Yes, {reg59?my lady:my lord}. Which message do you wish to send to the vassals?
dlga_member_direct_campaign_choice:member_direct_campaign_call_to_arms_verify|I want to start a new campaign. Let us assemble the army here.
dlga_member_direct_campaign_choice:member_give_order_disband_army_verify|I want to end the campaign and let everyone return home.
dlga_member_direct_campaign_choice:member_give_order_invite_feast_verify|I wish to invite the vassals of the realm to a feast at {s4}.
dlga_member_direct_campaign_choice:member_pretalk|Never mind
dlga_member_give_order_invite_feast_verify:member_give_order_invite_feast_verify_2|You wish to invite the lords of the realm to a feast?
dlga_member_give_order_invite_feast_verify_2:member_give_order_invite_feast|Yes. It is time for us to strengthen the bonds that bring us together.
dlga_member_give_order_invite_feast_verify_2:member_pretalk|On second thought, this is perhaps not the time.
dlga_member_give_order_invite_feast:member_pretalk|All right then. I shall dispatch messengers informing the lords of the realm of your feast at {s4}.
dlga_member_direct_campaign_call_to_arms_verify:member_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2|You wish to summon all lords for a new campaign?
dlga_member_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2:member_give_order_call_to_arms|Yes. We must gather all our forces before we march on the enemy.
dlga_member_give_order_call_to_arms_verify_2:member_pretalk|On second thought, it won't be necessary to summon everyone.
dlga_member_give_order_call_to_arms:member_pretalk|All right then. I will send messengers and tell everyone to come here.
dlga_member_give_order_disband_army_verify:member_give_order_disband_army_2|You want to end the current campaign and release all lords from duty?
dlga_member_give_order_disband_army_2:member_give_order_disband_army|Yes. We no longer need all our forces here.
dlga_member_give_order_disband_army_2:member_pretalk|On second thought, it will be better to stay together for now.
dlga_member_give_order_disband_army:member_pretalk|All right. I will let everyone know that they are released from duty.
dlga_mayor_wealth_comparison_1:mayor_wealth_comparison_2|Overall, the wealthiest town in these lands is known to be {s4}. Here in {s5}, we are poorer than {reg4} towns, and richer than {reg5}.
dlga_mayor_wealth_comparison_2:mayor_wealth_comparison_3|In terms of local industry, the most productive town in the Isles is known to be {s4}. Here in {s5}, we produce less than {reg4} towns, and produce more than {reg5}. Production is of course affected by the supply of raw materials, as well as by the overall prosperity of the town.
dlga_mayor_wealth_comparison_3:mayor_wealth_comparison_4|In terms of the output of the surrounding villages, the town of {s4} is the richest in these lands. Here in {s5}, the villages produce less than the hinterland around {reg4} towns, and produce more than {reg5}. The wealth of a town's hinterland, of course, is heavily dependent on the tides of war. Looting and pillage, and shifts in territory, can make a major impact.
dlga_mayor_wealth_comparison_4:mayor_wealth_comparison_5|In terms of trade, the town of {s4} is believed to have received the most visits from caravans over the past few months. Here in {s5}, we are less visited than {reg4} towns, and more visited than {reg5}.
dlga_mayor_wealth_comparison_5:mayor_pretalk|In terms of attacks on travellers, the town of {s4} is believed to be the most dangerous. Here in {s5}, we are less afflicted by bandits and raiders than {reg4} towns, and more afflicted than {reg5}.
