                                                                     Fido
@c0@þþ@aFido@bWoof, woof, woof!
@c0@þþþ@aFido@bGrrr...
@c0@@aFido@bWoof?
                                                                    Hardie

@c0@@aHardie@bHiring me as your personal bodyguard was the best decision you ever made.
@c0@@aHardie@bNow, where are we headed? You're the boss, so lead the way!
Upon being hired


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bThere are all sorts of folks seeking their fortune in this town, but the higher the stakes, the greater the danger.
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bI'm not complaining, though. It means I'm never short of work!
Idle dialogue in Endor


@c0@þ@aHardie@bThat soldier we just spoke to was a tough customer. I can just tell. I wouldn't stand a chance against him...
Speaking to Ragnar

@c0@þ@aHardie@bI've seen that Psaro the Manslayer character in action. He's tough, I'll tell you that for nothing.
Giving his assesment of Psaro after speaking to the man in red pants in the first floor of Endor castle

@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bHmmm... Why's he warning us about Psaro the Manslayer?
Wondering why the Endor prisoner is warning the group about Psaro


@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bHmmm... Now  I think about it, I've heard rumours of strange goings-on too. Most likely monsters, I reckon.
Speaking with the night att he inn during evening about the Zamoksvan people disappearing




@c0@þþ@aHardie@bHmm... So this is Ballymoral, is it? It's not the biggest castle I've ever seen...
Not having a good first impression with the neighboring kingdom

@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bSo the King is planning on attacking Endor...
@c0@@aHardie@bHe must be out of his mind! As if this pathetic little kingdom could pose a threat to the land of my birth!
Getting short with king Shamus' desire to invade Endor


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bCharming! What right does that old snob have to talk about us like that?
Angry with Prince Reagan's maid after the group is told off


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bWhy'd we come to a place like this? There's nothing here...
Exploring the abandoned fox village


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bSo this is your hometown, is it? It's not too shabby.
Entering Lakanaba


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bSo now you can open a shop here in Endor! That's great! There's profit to be made here alright!
Happy that king Norman has given Torneko permission to open a shop



@c0@þþ@aHardie@bI don't mean to be rude, but if we're just going to wander around aimlessly, my five days will be over in a flash.
Critiquing the player


@c0@þ@aHardie@bSo a day's gone by while you've been wandering around aimlessly. Well, I'm not complaining. This is easy money...
One day is up

@c0@þþ@aHardie@bSo this is the fourth day, is it?
@c0@@aHardie@bWhat's that? It's only the third? Yeah, you're right. My mistake...
Second day is up


@c0@þ@aHardie@bHang about---it's the fourth day already! And I've barely worked up a sweat...
@c0@@aHardie@bAnd you've paid 400 gold coins for this. I almost feel bad... But you're not getting a refund!
Third day is up



@c0@@aHardie@bWe've reached the fifth and final day. But don't worry. I won't leave you in the lurch just yet.
Fourth day is up





@aHardie@bSo what brings us to this cave?
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bIs there some sort of treasure hidden here or something?
@c0@þ@aHardie@bHeh heh. I thought as much. Well, let's sniff it out...before someone else does!
@c0@þ@aHardie@bWell, there's no sense in wandering aimlessly round a cave. Let's get out of here.
Answering Yes and No while exploring the steel strong box cave


@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bAre you serious about helping him build his tunnel?
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bWell, it's your funeral. Sounds like throwing good money after bad if you ask me...
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bOh, so you were just telling that old boy what he wanted to hear? Fair enough.
Upon speaking to the old man who wants to build the Endor-Casabranca tunnel


@c0@þ@aHardie@bThis isn't the first time I've accompanied a treasure-seeking merchant to this cave.
@c0@þ@aHardie@bI have to warn you, though---we've always come back empty-handed.
Warning Torneko of the sorry luck other merchants have had in the Cistern Chapel


@c0@þ@aHardie@bThe water drained away! Hmmm... you know, if no one's managed to work this out before, the treasure may still be there for taking.
Upon the water being drained in the second floor of the Cistern Chappel


@c0@þ@aHardie@bHmph. You were the one who figured out how the water works here, but this joker's beaten you to it. Still, chin up eh? Better luck next time and all that...
Speaking to the thug left high and dry after the water drains into the bottom floor


@c0@þ@aHardie@bNow that we've got the silver Goddess statue, there's no point in us staying in this cave, right? I mean, you're the boss. If you want to hang round here for a while, I won't stop you, but...
After getting the statue


@aHardie@b"Outside people is not permitted"? Hmph. That's charming, that is.
Being told off by the Zamoksvan teleportal guard


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bLook, I can understand you not wanting to sell the statue you sweated blood to find.
@c0@þ@aHardie@bBut he said he'd pay anything you ask. That sounds like too good an opportunity to pass up.
Questioning Torneko on declining the scholar's offer to buy the statue

@c0@@aHardie@bHis wife's a real looker. She could have had her pick of men, and she decided to marry him... It's a funny old world.
Being befuddled over Tessie's taste in men


@c0@þþ@aHardie@b60000 gold coins... That's not to be sniffed at. Any idea how you're going to spend it?
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bI mean, you could always hire me for 750 days. Go on, please...
Giving “advice” on how Torneko should spend his new commission money


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bSo it seems you've got a bright future ahead of you. Who'd have thought it?
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bWell, I'll always be proud that I got the chance to work for you.
Upon setting up the tunnel construction



@c0@@aHardie@bWhat are you thinking, going off gallivanting around the world when you've got a beautiful wife like that waiting for you at home?
@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bLook, I'm sorry. It's none of my business. You're a good man, and I'm sure you have your reasons.
Flabbergasted that Torneko would leave behind Tessie to look for a sword


@c0@þþ@aHardie@bI'll stick with you through thick and thin. Until my time's up, that is. Then I'll be scarpering sharpish.
Upon the completion of the tunnel






@c0@@aHardie@bBuying a shop here in Endor sounds like a pretty good idea to me.



@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bIf there's one thing I've learned, it's to always take rumours with a fistful of salt.
@c0@þþþ@aHardie@bA merchant like you doesn't have to concern himself with that kind of crazy talk.
@c0@þþ@aHardie@bI think the other contenders in the tourney were behind Psaro's mysterious disappearance.
@c0@@aHardie@bAnd top of my list of suspects is that princess from Zamoksva. It was all very convenient...









                                                                  Laurel

@c0@þ@aLaurel@bDid my ears deceive me, or did I hear you say that 600 gold coins is quite pricey for five days?
@c0@þ@aLaurel@bFear not, I tell you, just wait and see! My magic is world class, I guarantee!
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bAfter five days, you'll find that the time has flown... and wonder how you ever managed on your own.
Upon being hired


@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bOf all the towns in all the land, Endor's the one that is most grand.
@c0@@aLaurel@bI've journeyed to places big and small, but Endor's the one that beats them all!
Idle dialogue in Endor


@c0@@aLaurel@bAlas, the casino is closed. Oh well, that's just how it goes...
@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bBut in fact, I think you should be rather glad. To fritter all your wealth away...would be bad.
Idle dialogue in the casino


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bTo Zamoksva, I have been. Its many sights, I have seen.
@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bIt's such a peaceful land, so for folks to disappear... Well, there could be worse to come, I fear.
Upon speaking to the knight at the inn during evening who mentions the vanishing of the Zakoksvan people


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@b(Musict note) If you're looking to get beaten black and blue, Psaro's the Manslayer for you! (music note) I came up with that little ditty while I was watching him in action. You know, sometimes I worry I've got no gift for rhyme. Do you think I should stick with magic? Be honest with me...
Humming a tune about Psaro after speaking to the npc with red pants in the first floor of Endor castle, then pondering his own capabilities.


@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bOf the King here, I confess, I am a little wary. His fierce ambition makes him just a little scary.
Stating his concern with the king of Ballymoral's warmongering

@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bThe King's words strike me as if they were thunder! He means to make war, loot, pillage and plunder!
@c0@þ@aLaurel@bI may be a wandering poet of no fixed address, but Endor is the watering hole I like the best.
Being worried about king Shamus' plans


@c0@þ@aLaurel@bTo call my comrades common, well, that is fine, but to extend the insult to me crosses the line...
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@b...Erm. Nothing! Forget you heard that! I was just musing aloud...
Being insulted by Prince Reagan's maid




@c0@þ@aLaurel@bI have heard it said that out in the sticks, was a town of foxes up to their old tricks.It seems you view my words with some suspicion... I'm sure you're right. It was nothing but superstition.
Exploring the ruins of the fox village


@c0@þ@aLaurel@bIn Lakanaba there is a weapon shop, or so they say, where customers keep coming all day, every day!... Oh, really? You say that you have heard this tale. And in fact it was you who made those sales!
Idle dialogue in Lakanaba


@c0@þ@aLaurel@bWeapon sellers profit from strife, or so I thought, but listen to the lesson that I've been taught. Torneko Taloon---for peace, no man ever did more. Why, he turned a profit and stopped a war!
Giving Torneko credit after getting permission from king Norman to open up shop, and admitting he was wrong about merchants.




@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bOur time together will be a mere five days, but in our hearts I hope the memory will stay...
Idle dialogue in the overworld


@c0@@aLaurel@bAnd so, to the first day we must bid farewell. What the next four will bring, only time will tell.
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bNo, I'm not counting the days, my merchant friend. Erm... I wish our time together would never end.
One day is up

@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bThe second day's over, we're onto the third one. O, doesn't time fly when you're having fun?
Second day is up

@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bSo now that we have reached the fourth day... Our time left together is short, it pains me to say.
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bSo may I suggest, once we get back to Endor, you hire me again, and pay me some more!
Third day is up


@c0@þ@aLaurel@bSo, it is the fifth day, and our paths must soon part. Maybe I'll move to a new town, make a fresh start?
The final day



@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bThis cave was not made according to nature's plan. No, it was clearly hewn by the hand of man.
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bAnd now I ask, why was it dug, what was the goal? Is something precious hidden in this deep, dark hole?
Exploring the steel strongbox cave



@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bOh, if this tunnel was complete, for travellers it would be a treat.
@c0@þ@aLaurel@bBut just to dig a hole that's big and deep, well, 60000 gold coins is rather steep.
Being taken aback by the steep excavation costs of the tunnel




@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bA silver statue of the Goddess lay in this cave, awaiting discovery by the greedy and brave.
@c0@þ@aLaurel@bCould it still be here? I fear it's gone. But then again, I could be very wrong.
Entering the Chistern Chapel


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bOh, it must have been such a pain to build a cave chock full of drains!
Upon dealing with the switch puzzle in the second floor of the Cistern Chappel


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bHmmm... What kind of treasure was has that man got? Was it the silver statue, or was it not?
After speaking to the thug left high and dry after the water draisn into the bottom floor


@c0@@aLaurel@bI know it may not be my place to say, but in this cave I would rather not stay.
@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bWhile there is a time and place for caves, it's now the great outdoors I find I crave.
Expressing his desire to leave the chappel after getting the statue



@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bIn Zamoksva, people are disappearing into thin air. Can it be true? What's going on there?
Being told off by the Zamoksvan teleportal guard


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bThe silver Goddess statue is a precious artefact, but it's no use to you, and that's a fact!
@c0@þ@aLaurel@bI'd say you need to get it sold, and pocket all that lovely gold!
Encouraging Torneko to take the scholar's offer on the statue


@c0@@aLaurel@bAsk me to show you a man who's truly content, and it's to Torneko Taloon that you'll be sent!
Impressed with Torneko's home life


@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bIt's clear from the amount that you got paid that you're no slouch when it comes to trade.
@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bTake your wealth and spend it wisely. Your future's shaping up very nicely!
Congratulating Torneko on completing the king's commission


@c0@@aLaurel@bYou've backed this project to the hilt, and now this tunnel will get built.
@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bI was wrong to think you were all talk. Oh yes, you've shown you walk the walk.
Putting up the money to get the tunnel construction going


@c0@@aLaurel@bO, to have a sweet woman who called me 'love', to me that would feel like heaven above!
@c0@þþ@aLaurel@bWait, my merchant friend, what's that I see? Has your face gone red, or is it just me?
After Tessie wishes Torneko well on his journey to find the zenithian sword



@c0@þþþ@aLaurel@bThe realm beyond is unbeknownst to me. What lies ahead, I cannot wait to see.
Upon the completion of the tunnel
