"I see that you've come back, Damon. If you're interested in buying something, 
please tell me what it is and I will let you know if I have it." 

-------------------- 
"I'm glad you've returned, Damon. There are other things I'd like to discuss. 
But first, I must thank you once more for *finding the hammer." 

-------------------- 
"Hello, I was afraid we wouldn't get a chance to talk. Did everything go *well 
with Father?" 

-------------------- 
"Have you changed your mind about that *drink? I was hoping ..." 

Q: *drink 
"Thanks Sophia, but not now. I'd like to, but I've got some things I've got to 
take care of." 

"If you change your mind, you know where I'll be." 

-------------------- 
"Hey, has anybody seen Boris in here lately?" 

"No I haven't. Come to think of it, I wonder what that farmer's been up to." 

"It's about time to harvest the rest of his crops. He's probably hard at work 
in the fields." 

"Well that explains it. I might have to pay him a visit." 

"I've been to his farm a few times. It's not far from the village, and his 
wife, Sylva, makes a mean beef stew." 

"Is that all your pea-sized brain can think of, Gheorghe? Food!" 

-------------------- 
"Is there a special tune you would like to hear?" 

"I can *play anything you wish. And I assure you, you won't find a finer 
minstrel in all of your travels." 

Q: *play 
"No offense, but I doubt that you can play anything I would like to hear." 

"I'm hurt, my friend. Do you doubt Jascha's talent?" 

"Why, not only am I the most talented *minstrel you'll ever hear play, but 
you'll find no musician with a finer *instrument." 

Q: *minstrel 
"Do you play here all the time, sir?" 

"Please, my name is Jascha. I just arrived a short bit ago. I'm a travelling 
man, you see." 

"My travels only bring me to this village once in a great while. Seth is kind 
enough to give me room and board, and in return, I agree to entertain his 
customers." 

Q: *instrument 
"I never was a big fan of the violin." 

"This is no simple violin, my friend. I dare say, it's probably the finest 
crafted instrument in the known world." 

"A long time ago, it belonged to another fine musician by the name of 
Khristian. I was fortunate enough to chance upon the violin myself." 

-------------------- 
"It's good to see you again. Better watch out or you might just become a 
regular here at The Severed Head." 

"Sorry. I imagine there's nothing more annoying than a talkative *barkeep, is 
there? Can I get you anything? Some food, an ale, or wine if you like." 

Q: *barkeep 
"Are you just a barkeep, or do you own this place?" 

"The place is mine. It was passed on to me by my father. If I'm right, I think 
the tavern's been owned by my family for several generations." 

"It's not a bad way to make a living, you know. Actually, about the only thing 
I like better is collecting things." 

"Like my cups, for example. You won't find a finer set in all the known world. 
Look at them, especially the gold *goblet, you'll never see another one like 
it." 

Q: *wine 
"Seth do you have any wine?" 

"Yes, Damon. I have a little. I'm afraid it's not very good, though. If you are 
looking for a good vintage, you had better ask Kirill. His wine cellar has the 
finest wine in the valley." 

Q: *goblet 
"Yes, that goblet of yours is a very nice cup, and I bet it's worth a good 
bit." 

"Why, thank you. It's my finest, my pride and joy!" 

"I'm just aching to drink from such a fine cup. Of course, I'd never do such a 
thing unless I had the finest vintage. Only the best for such a fine goblet, 
eh?" 

-------------------- 
"Hey, Buddy! Over here!" 

-------------------- 
"I thought I would never see another living soul! May the Dark One rot for 
this. I want my body back." 

"You gotta *help me! Please, you have to find a way ... Oh please ... the 
spiders, they're all over me ... I can feel them crawling." 

Q: *help 
"Help you, how? Who did ... How did this happen to you?" 

"I came to see the thing that fell from the sky. I was hiding among the trees 
when Kairn's dead ones came and took away the bird of iron." 

"I was terrified! The dead ones crave the flesh of the living. They heard me 
somehow; I must have stepped on a twig or something." 

"They came for me. I wanted to run, but I was paralyzed. That's when he 
appeared! He did this to me, and *dragged away the iron bird." 

Q: *dragged 
"My plane! They dragged away my plane! In which direction did they take it? I 
don't see any tracks." 

"Oh no you don't. You help me first, then I'll tell you where they took this 
thing you call a plane. I want my body back!" 

-------------------- 
"I hope you haven't come back to buy something! You sort of caught me at a bad 
time. I haven't had much of a chance to get out and pick many herbs." 

"Of course, I do have some *fennel seeds I'll sell you for a silver piece. And, 
if by chance, you have something I might want to buy, tell me what it is." 

Q: *fennel 
"Annabelle, I want to buy those fennel seeds you talked about before." 

"Of course! If you want to *buy them for a silver piece, I'll sell them to 
you." 

Q: *buy 
"Thanks, here are your seeds." 

Q: *sell 
"Sorry, but I can't buy something you don't have." 

-------------------- 
"Hi. If you have something you think I might want to buy, tell me what it is. I 
might be willing to pay you for it so I don't have to go pick it myself." 

Q: *sell 
"Sorry, but I can't buy something you don't have." 

-------------------- 
"Hi. If you have something you think I might want to buy, tell me what it is. I 
might be willing to pay you for it so I don't have to go pick it myself." 

Q: *cowberry 
"Would you like to buy some cowberries?" 

"I'll give you a silver piece for each cowberry plant you want to sell me. But 
I want you to know, I won't sell back what I buy. Do you want to *sell me a 
cowberry plant?" 

-------------------- 
"I'm glad you've returned, Damon. There are other things I'd like to discuss. 
But first, I must thank you once more for *finding the hammer." 

Q: *finding 
"You know I found the hammer already! And good old Eduard is dead! Dead! Dead! 
Dead! And you're probably all crazy!" 

"If you wish to know more, then read the pages I gave you. They tell the 
history of this valley and of Kairn." 

-------------------- 
"You're back! If it's all right with Dad, maybe you can *show me your plane. 
Please!" 

Q: *show 
"I don't think that's a good idea right now. Maybe some other time, before I 
leave this place." 

"You're just like Dad! He never let's me do anything. All he ever wants to do 
is show me how to make candles." 

"I don't care about candles! I want to see the thing that fell out of the sky." 

-------------------- 
"I see you've returned to visit this poor *candle maker, *outlander." 

Q: *candle 
"Are those candles ready for sale yet?" 

"Sorry, not yet. You'll have to try back later." 

-------------------- 
"Did Ion let you up here again! He promised he wouldn't let you back up here. I 
don't want anybody seeing *Natalia like this."
