[BYRNE IS INSIDE A CAVE, WOUNDED WITH ENEMIES NEARBY, HE HAS HID HIMSELF AWAY WITH ARROWS STUCK IN HIS LEG]

[NPC SITTING INJURED ON FLOOR, PAINED] (loud whisper, not to alert nearby enemies)

Gods, straight through the bone....

Ahhhh....Shouldn't have come here.

If I can only... ughhhhh...

[NPC HELLO] (pained)

Ugh... stop standing around and help a brother...

Come to finish the job Orc?







[greeting] (Pained, breathing heavily)

Stranger! You, aghhh… maybe have a spare healing potion? A potato poultice? Anything better than wound licking?

Hey you, over here. Help this poor sod.


Stage 1 (Sounds exhausted)

{What are you even doing here?}

I was in the middle of a bleeding act, obviously. Hope you hate drama well enough to help me botch it.

{Wise to the bitter end.}

(merrily) Aren’t I indeed? I can also curse you with eternal errand running if you don’t help me.



Stage 2 (Still sounds exhausted)

1. {I have a potion to spare.}

Good! Not great until they give it whiskey flavour, but good. Here’s hoping me intestines aren’t leaking.

You're a saint, lob me one and I'll try to make my way back to town. Don't have the strength to keep fighting.

2. {Gonna fetch you some wegbrade real quick. Bye!} – (exits the dialogue)

Hey come on, have a heart. Don't leave me here like this.

Oh, I see. Before you go: your mother is so fat the Synod keeps confusing her for a celestial body.



3. {I know a spell, hold on.}

Hope you aren’t talking about a mercy fireball. Let's try it.



[healed through whatever means]

-Ah, feel better already! (beat) Now, I owe you one, don’t I? The thing is, I obviously have nothing to repay you with, unless our clothes are the same size.

How about you find me beneath Evermore once I make it out of this hole? Look for Byrne. Don’t worry, I won’t skip town – can live well enough without hired thugs on my trail.



 [MEETING WITH BYRNE OUTSIDE OF THE CAVE, DOES NOT SOUND PAINED OR TIRED ANYMORE]

[greeting]

- Oh, here I was hoping you'd forget about a poor beggar and his hasty promises. So… here for the reward, correct?

- Now, not be ungrateful: if you ever need a farmhand or a stable boy, yours truly is beyond competition, but gold... none of that stuff. Sorry.



{What a lying bastard you are, Byrne.} – [ends conversation]

- I might be. Then again, it ain’t me who’s dumb enough to expect a decent reward from a beggar and a thief.



{Relax, Byrne. Think of it as a collateral good deed.}



- That makes it even worse, nobody around here could be bothered to do more of those. If you’re setting a trend, I want to make sure I contribute.

- Let’s see… Well, I can probably part with one of these. Snatched a couple passing by the marketplace. [gives a green apple]



- Have this, too. Only one, true, but let’s pretend there’s a story behind it.



- Agh, I do owe you one, don't I. Here, something actually worth a damn. Freshly pilfered from old Aximand during my brief stint in Arnima. [gives two frost resist potions] You put them to good use, magnificent bastard.



{Bye, Byrne. Stay safe.}

- You do the same, friend. And may you never run errands again.



(bonus line if the journals are in inventory)



{Are you the one writing these journals?}



- You’ve read them? Oh. Can’t say I envy you. Never took those for intellectual property.

[NPC DIES]

End of the road.........
Ahhhhhhhh.....

[NPC ENGAGES IN COMBAT]
Thought you were smarter than that...

Hope you like eating daggers.

Should have expected no different from an Orc.

Agh!

Come here!

[Player shoves NPC]
Ugh... If you wanted to hug you could have just asked.

*Uph* ..You drunk?

[NPC HELLO]
If it isn't my favorite girl.

Aye.

Got something on your mind?

How are you my magnificent green friend?

[NPC GOODBYE]
Happy trails.

May you have luck on your journeys.


    See you around.
