Thanks to the fact that we didn't even scout the area, we're stuck in this miserable position.","9001_2002" // Rupert 2004 "Well, where should we go? This way is Green Hill.","9001_2004" // Paroth 2006 "A task force was sent there three days ago, but nobody returned.","9001_2006" // Rupert 2008 "To get to Halmoral, we need to go around.","9001_2008" // Paroth 2010 "But then we'll come face to face with the Dark Elves pursuing us. Let's just go to Green Hill.","9001_2010" // Rupert 2020 "Hold on, Paroth. There's a trap.","9001_2020" // Paroth 2022 "Even my eyes can pick that out. Rather poorly set if you ask me.","9001_2022" // Rupert 2024 "No, it's been unearthed. Someone couldn't remove it, so they just left a marker. Looks like a sapper did this. ","9001_2024" // Paroth 2026 "Then there could be sappers nearby? Let's find them, quickly.","9001_2026" // Paroth 2050 "You are the reason there were so few Scorpions. Thanks to you, Hironeiden has persevered.","9001_2050" // Tzu'Mish 2052 "It was the last order from Captain Walden.","9001_2052" // Rupert 2054 "He was a thorough fellow...","9001_2054" // Paroth 2056 "Build a field camp nearby. We'd better let those fellows get some rest.","9001_2056" // Paroth 2070 "Rupert, have the men report to Operations after dinner.","9001_2070" // Paroth 2080 "Rupert, you'd better get some food first.","9001_2080" // Rupert 2082 "Ah, what will I do outside? I should get some food.","9001_2082" // Tzu'Mish 2090 "By the way, why did Rupert escort the messenger? If they needed an officer, why not Ellen? Frankly, Ellen would have been better than Rupert.","9001_2090" // Soldier1 2092 "He found out that Mr. Ben's daughter had a fiance... or something. He was shocked and wanted to do something rash. So he volunteered for this mission.","9001_2092" // Soldier 2094 "That... fiance story... is that for real?","9001_2094" // Knight 2096 "No way! She's had her eyes on me all this time!","9001_2096" // Rupert 2098 "Enough chatter. Those of you who have finished eating should go to Operations. The old man wants you to assemble there.","9001_2098" // Soldier3 2100 "While I was hiding, I'd been reading this poem collection called 'Underwater Kingdom.' My cousin sent it to me.","9001_2100" // Rupert 2102 "I'm sick and tired of your story about your cousin the noble in Ecclesia. Just go to Operations.","9001_2102" // Knight 2120 "Rupert...","9001_2120" // Rupert 2122 "Mm? What is it?","9001_2122" // Knight 2124 "How could a simpleton like you be my rival?","9001_2124" // Rupert 2126 "Get out at once!","9001_2126" // Rupert 2128 "Everyone's gone, finally. I suppose I should get going then.","9001_2128" // Rupert 2129 "Everyone should be gathered now. I should go to Operations myself.","9001_2129" // Paroth 2130 "Did you get some rest? ","9001_2130" // Soldier 2132 "Rupert, where are the Dwarves?","9001_2132" // Rupert 2134 "Beats me... Paroth, where are the Dwarves?","9001_2134" // Paroth 2136 "The Mineral Trade Center to the northeast of Ecclesia is our destination. We could request support from the Dwarves there.","9001_2136" // Knight 2138 "So then? What's the problem?","9001_2138" // Paroth 2140 "While we were saving you, we had Dark Elf pursuers on our tails. Once we leave the mountains, we'll lose our cover. We'd better establish a strongpoint at the Steel Mountains and lure them in.","9001_2140" // Rupert 2142 "And I'll command that mission?","9001_2142" // Paroth 2144 "Well, who else? Get some rest tonight. We'll set out for Steel Mountains early tomorrow morning.

Looks like a small country town to me.","9001_2190" // Paroth 2192 "This is a trading post for minerals. The Dwarves are spread out all over the northern mountains.","9001_2192" // Paroth 2194 "But we can discuss the details of this town later. Right now, we must meet with the Dwarf elders. ","9001_2194" // Dwarf2 2210 "Only guild members may enter!","9001_2210" // Paroth 2212 "Where are you trying to go, Rupert?","9001_2212" // Dwarf1 2230 "Mmm, humans? Are you from Ecclesia?","9001_2230" // Paroth 2232 "We are from Hironeiden. Where should I go to meet Mr. Dolgahn?","9001_2232" // Dwarf1 2234 "Dolgahn? He's signing labor contracts with the mining guild. You'd best wait to visit his office until this evening. What business does that broad fella have here? Looking for work?","9001_2234" // Rupert 2236 "Ah, I just wanna have a drink.","9001_2236" // Paroth 2238 "Don't mind him. Excuse me.","9001_2238" // Rupert 2240 "Paroth, why are we at this trading post? Don't we have to see the Dwarf elder?","9001_2240" // Paroth 2242 "Dolgahn is the Dwarf elder we're looking for. These days, commodity trading is the lifeblood of the Dwarf economy. ","9001_2242" // Rupert 2244 "Never heard of that before. I thought Dwarves just dug holes and drank beer.","9001_2244" // Paroth 2246 "That was a long time ago. Before they lost Mount Levantz in the last war. Since then, they've been a scattered people. ","9001_2246" // Paroth 2248 "Dolgahn founded this place and started gathering the Dwarves from all over the land. He even helped Elves who had been exiled from Arein. He gave them a place to settle down. ","9001_2248" // Rupert 2250 "Then, is he 'The Man' here?","9001_2250" // Paroth 2252 "Well, that's one way of putting it. If talks go well with Dolgahn, it might even help us get support from the Elves, as well. ","9001_2252" // Paroth 2254 "It's evening. Let's go try his office.","9001_2254" // Paroth 2270 "I told you we need to visit the office. What are you doing, Rupert?","9001_2270" // Paroth 2290 "Are you Sir Dolgahn?","9001_2290" // Dolgahn 2292 "Be on time, from now on. Give me your area and the administrator's name.","9001_2292" // Paroth 2298 "We are not guild members, but messengers from Hironeiden. I'm Paroth and this is Rupert.","9001_2298" // Dolgahn 2300 "From Hironeiden? I thought you were at war. How did you get here? You looking to buy some weapons?","9001_2300" // Paroth 2302 "Well we always need weapons... but to be honest, Hironeiden is in need of more than that. We need an alliance with the Dwarves.","9001_2302" // Dolgahn 2304 "Sounds more like a one-sided aid than an alliance.","9001_2304" // Paroth 2306 "I suppose that's fair. But, if Hironeiden can get the Dwarves' support against the Dark Legion, and we manage to reclaim Arein, we will give you the mining rights to the Levantz Mountains. In fact, I brought the deed, signed by our King.","9001_2306" // Dolgahn 2308 "Even if you reclaim Arein, it would be tricky to make it Hironeiden territory. Ecclesia won't idly look on. It's a generous promise, but the Levantz Mountains would be hard to give, if you cannot keep them. ","9001_2308" // Paroth 2310 "Even if we are forced to give up Arein, Hironeiden plans to pass the Middle Mountains onto the Dwarves.","9001_2310" // Dolgahn 2312 "It doesn't sound like a fair deal, Paroth. What's in the mind of your King?","9001_2312" // Paroth 2314 "Sir... If Hironeiden falls, the western continent is wide open to the Dark Legion. This crisis concerns the entire western continent.","9001_2314" // Dolgahn 2316 "Well, naturally, it's in your best interest to argue it that way. ","9001_2316" // Paroth 2318 "Ecclesia is too caught up in its crusade to defend the west. That leaves it to Hironeiden, and the Dwarves. Ecclesia has no choice but to accept our terms.","9001_2318" // Paroth 2320 "And if this does lead to a conflict with Ecclesia, Hironeiden will support the Dwarves and help you keep the Levantz Mountains. ","9001_2320" // Dolgahn 2322 "That is, if we help you now, and side with you later when Ecclesia comes after you.","9001_2322" // Paroth 2324 "That's correct, sir.","9001_2324" // Rupert 2326 "Grrr...","9001_2326" // Paroth 2328 "Rupert, if you wish, you may wait at the pub. The others will be there, too.","9001_2328" // Rupert 2330 "I'd love to. But I don't have any money...","9001_2330" // Dolgahn 2332 "I'll write you a guild note. You can drink as much as you want.","9001_2332" // Rupert 2334 "Thank you, Dolgahn! I'll wait for you at the pub.","9001_2334" // Rupert 2350 "Finally. I thought I'd die of boredom... So much talking, and so few decisions. Why can't he just say yes or no.","9001_2350" // Rupert 2360 "I don't wanna go back in there.","9001_2360" // Rupert 2362 "I'd better go get a drink. No point wasting this guild note.","9001_2362" // Dwarf1 2380 "Alright then, let's make this another accident-free year!","9001_2380" // Dwarf2 2382 "Another beer, here!","9001_2382" // Rupert 2384 "Why is it so crowded?","9001_2384" // Knight 2386 "Some sort of a festival. They bought us beer, too.","9001_2386" // Rupert 2387 "Man, I should've come earlier.","9001_2387" // Dwarf1 2388 "Are you a guild member, too? You must be new. Come, sit with us. Which area were you assigned to?","9001_2388" // Rupert 2390 "Ah, I'm not a miner...","9001_2390" // Dwarf1 2392 "Of course, of course, we can't say you're a miner yet. I like your modesty. May I buy you a drink? As a soon-to-be fellow miner?","9001_2392" // Rupert 2394 "Of course!","9001_2394" // Soldier 2396 "By the way... There's a war going on out there, you know. Don't you have to make contingency plans or something? What if you're trapped in this mountain?","9001_2396" // Dwarf1 2398 "Why would the Dark Legion come all the way here? Bah. Even if they do, we can easily beat them back. We've got the high ground, the cold weather, and we've got plenty of mortars. ","9001_2398" // Dwarf2 2400 "Your glass is empty. Have another drink.","9001_2400" // Rupert 2402 "Thank you. But don't you have problems with Ecclesia being so close?","9001_2402" // Dwarf1 2404 "For sure. They even took over Arein. And that's nowhere near their own land. Dolgahn's getting headaches from that.","9001_2404" // Dwarf1 2406 "If they were Dark Legion, I'd say we use our mortars on them. But who cares? Drink up and get another!","9001_2406" // Dwarf1 2408 "Hey, how long are you fellas planning to stay around here?","9001_2408" // Paroth 2410 "Rupert, would you like to meet the Elves?","9001_2410" // Rupert 2412 "A g... guild member cannot leave hizassigned area without a permission from the guild!","9001_2412" // Paroth 2414 "What are you talking about?","9001_2414" // Rupert 2416 "Non memberzz'll be paid twice a year, but if one joinza guild, he gets monthly salllaly and bonus... and thatzzza nice stable life right there....yesssir.","9001_2416" // Paroth 2418 "Alright then. I'll go by myself. Please pull yourself together by the time I get back tomorrow.","9001_2418" // Rupert 2420 "Uggggh, my head. Feels like it's gonna fall off. Dwarf beer. Ugggh. Bad hangovers.

I should go find Paroth.","9001_2460" // Rupert 2480 "Dolgahn, do you know where Paroth went to?","9001_2480" // Dolgahn 2482 "Paroth? He left to see the Elves yesterday. Why didn't you accompany him?","9001_2482" // Rupert 2484 "Ugh. Kinduva long story...","9001_2484" // Dolgahn 2486 "It won't be long. Why don't you have a beer and relax till he gets back?","9001_2486" // Rupert 2488 "Beer?","9001_2488" // Dolgahn 2490 "Well, it seemed to keep you busy last night.","9001_2490" // Rupert 2492 "Well, hair of the dog... May I really?","9001_2492" // Dolgahn 2494 "Sure. He'll return within the day anyway.","9001_2494" // Rupert 2496 "Well, that sounds all right, then.","9001_2496" // Dolgahn 2500 "There's no need to worry. Why don't you go wait at the pub?","9001_2500" // Rupert 2502 "No, I'll stick around here. He can find me when he gets back.","9001_2502" // Rupert 2520 "Hmmm...

Go back to drinking.","9001_2524" // Rupert 2526 "It's been two days now. ","9001_2526" // Rupert 2528 "This isn't good. I should go see Dolgahn.","9001_2528" // Rupert 2550 "Dolgahn, I gotta go look for Paroth. Which way is the Elf village?","9001_2550" // Dolgahn 2552 "It's not easy to find the way by yourself. I'll go with you. I had business there anyway. ","9001_2552" // Rupert 2554 "Well, must be my lucky day. What business do you have there?","9001_2554" // Dolgahn 2556 "I was expecting Snowstone. Something's wrong when an Elf is late. Because they're never late. I want to go check on it myself. You ready to leave?","9001_2556" // Rupert 2570 "I'm ready. Wait for me at the gate.","9001_2570" // Elf3(F) 2595 "Snowstone, we have confirmed that the Ancient Heart is at the Holy Ground.","9001_2595" // Snowstone 2596 "What about these 'Kaedes' forces?","9001_2596" // Elf3(F) 2597 "They are a group of Dark Elves rebelling against the Vellond regime. They were originally stationed near the Holy Ground to find the Ancient Heart, but they chased us all the way here.","9001_2597" // Snowstone 2598 "That cannot be all there is to this raid. It must have been quite a trip. Rest well.","9001_2598" // Snowstone 2599 "Thank you for your assistance, Dolgahn. Now that you've heard the situation, would you please go back and get ready for the big job. I'll get back to you soon.","9001_2599" // Dolgahn 2600 "Alright, Rupert. Paroth, let's go. We've got quite a lot of work cut out for us.","9001_2600" // Paroth 2601 "Yes sir. By the way... Rupert, thank you. I would have been done for if you hadn't arrived. ","9001_2601" // Rupert 2602 "Well, didn't Gerald tell you? You're my hero. Sounds like the talk went smoothly, eh?","9001_2602" // Paroth 2603 "It did. So far. I'll fill you in on the way back.","9001_2603" // Paroth 2590 "Let's head back to the trade center for now. I'll tell you more when we arrive.","9001_2590" // Dwarf2 2610 "Dolgahn is very busy right now. Oh yeah, he told us to bring Paroth to him.

Why did you go alone?","9001_2630" // Paroth 2632 "You don't remember? You were blistering drunk. And besides, talking with Dolgahn made me think that it was better to go alone.","9001_2632" // Rupert 2634 "Right, that was a great idea. So how did the talks go, anyway? You talked all day long.","9001_2634" // Paroth 2636 "The Dwarves were willing to help out Hironeiden. They've been under pressure from Ecclesia since they settled down here. They seem to want to check Ecclesia by creating an alliance with Hironeiden.","9001_2636" // Rupert 2638 "Then why didn't they do anything until now?","9001_2638" // Paroth 2640 "They had to move 'for the entire western continent' at 'Hironeiden's request.' Otherwise, they'd be forced to answer to Ecclesia. Hironeiden will have to act as if they are helping Dwarves to get Mount Levantz back.","9001_2640" // Rupert 2642 "In other words, they needed an excuse to enter the war?","9001_2642" // Paroth 2644 "That's right. I think they've discussed it with Elves already. The Dwarves were the ones who helped the Elves move to the northern Mountains, after the loss of Arein. Until Arein is reclaimed, the Dwarves and Elves will move together.","9001_2644" // Rupert 2646 "Seems like the Dwarves and Elves may start another war with Ecclesia after this one...","9001_2646" // Paroth 2648 "I doubt it'll go that far. And the Elves seem to be fascinated with this artifact called the Ancient Heart. Even more so than having Ecclesia in check. Dwarves are concerned about that.","9001_2648" // Rupert 2650 "They say it's a story Ecclesia made up to purge pagans. Fireballs and zombies and... and whatever. ","9001_2650" // Paroth 2652 "Well, the Elves seem to think otherwise. They've been dispatching Elves to the Holy Ground to observe the situation.","9001_2652" // Paroth 2654 "Anyway, that's not our problem at this point... the Elves and Dwarves have decided to cooperate with Hironeiden. Our mission was a success.

I'm going to talk with Dolgahn.","9001_2660" // Knight 2664 "When we return... and drive the Dark Legion out of Hironeiden... We'll get to see Mr. Ben's daughter getting married.

We're leaving early tomorrow morning. ","9001_2670" // Paroth 2672 "Everyone well rested? Then let's return to Hironeiden.","9001_2672" // Paroth 2680 "We are all ready to go.
