amayi: That is very generous of you, Nigel Trelawney.
amayi: This will indeed help us to stay here until Lowell Cain and his men give in to our demands.

amayi: As I was saying: I will come here every day until you return what was stolen from my ship!
manbreaker: And I will tell you every day, Captain Amayi, that in the name of the Castle and the Baron we simply confiscated suspicious goods.
amayi: Suspicious? You stole the money and most of the cargo from my ship! I want to talk to your superiors!
manbreaker: Lowell Cain graciously offered you permission to leave ... and you declined!
amayi: My crew and I will leave this cursed port anytime we want!
amayi: But we will NOT leave without the money and goods that you stole from my ship! I want to talk to the Baron!
manbreaker: The Baron won't see you ... you're far too inferior to speak with him directly.
manbreaker: Lowell Cain speaks for the Baron, but he will no longer see you after declining his generous offer to let you leave.
amayi: Why you little ... if I weren't on official business and sailing under the honorable flag of the Kingdom of Malabo, then I'd blow your puny port to pieces!
amayi: But because I am a well trained diplomat, I will simply come here every day until you give me back what is mine.
Give #item# to #noun# Captain Amayi (act2day)
nigel: Excuse me, Captain.
amayi: What do you have there, Nigel Trelawney?
nigel: Oh, this? It's a map of the coastal area around the Kingdom of Malabo. I thought you might be interested in it.
amayi: This map is at least 150 years old ... and it's wet.
nigel: So is the coastal area around Malabo, isn't it?
amayi: Indeed... Thank you, Nigel Trelawney. This will surely prove more useful than my broken telescope. Would you accept the telescope as payment for this map?

nigel: Pretended?
nigel: Oh ... yes sure. My friends always told me I should have become an actor.
wavetamer: Your acting talent probably saved you from getting arrested, like that old man you were talking to.
wavetamer: I'm sure they took the old man to the Castle. And they did ... something ... to the sailor.
nigel: What do you mean, they did "something" to the sailor?
wavetamer: Well, one of the castle guards held a strange flashing light in front of him. It made a peculiar buzzing noise, like a vile beetle.
wavetamer: Since then, the sailor has just been sitting on the docks staring vacantly out to sea.
Push pipe-smoking guy (nofish)
nigel: Pushing someone off a dock is only funny to the person who did the pushing.

afterTrip Harbormaster (night)
wavetamer: Ah, the salty sea and rough winds were just wonderful, weren't they? How time flies ... it's nighttime already!
wavetamer: Each time of day is different, and has its own charms.
Why, I'll often pass the time just to feel bright sunlight or cool night air ...
wavetamer: When you find a place to sleep, just "use" it with your Verb Coin to take a nap.
wavetamer: When you do, you'll advance from nighttime to day, or from daytime to night.
nigel: What's a Verb Coin?
nigel: Do you have any idea what he's talking about?
wavetamer: Ahem... as I was saying. Just like having a nap, fishing is also a good way to pass time.
wavetamer: Thanks for your help! Here, take my key to the Port Authority. I kept it even after Lowell Cain's men kicked me out.
wavetamer: During the night, those Castle goons shouldn't give you much trouble.
wavetamer: I hid a spare key to the boathouse chest in that Ship-in-a-Bottle next to my desk.
wavetamer: Oh, Nigel! We caught a lot of fish today! You should take some home.

faker: That's it. I've lost track of my numbers ... now these good people will have to pay additional recalculation fees. That'll be another half-crate of fish each.

faker: You're probably just too happy to talk. It's quite an honor to donate your catch to the Castle, isn't it?
nigel: Donate your catch? ... does that mean you have to give it all away? Why do you let them do that?
bill: If you'd been here longer, then you'd know when to keep quiet. We have a representative of the Castle in our midst!

amayi: I'm actually trying to focus this telescope. The lenses are loose so I can barely make out what I'm looking at.

nigel: When did the Castle take over operations here in the harbor?
wavetamer: Ah, that's a painful subject for me. The Castle expelled me from the Port Authority when they overtook the village.
wavetamer: Until five months ago, Ravenhollow harbor was a lively trading port. Now the Castle forbids outsiders from docking.
nigel: Why would the Castle want to lock down the village?
wavetamer: I've been asking myself that very question for nearly six months ... and still I have no answer.
wavetamer: It just doesn't make sense. None of this. Lowell Cain and his men are nothing but thieves if you ask me!

wavetamer: Well, yes ... but this may be in your best interest as well.
wavetamer: You see, fishing was the only thing that kept me sane after Cain kicked me out of my office.
wavetamer: Now some weeks ago my boat broke during a terrible storm ... and to make matters worse, the Castle goons have locked the boathouse that I store it in.
wavetamer: Do you think you could help me to repair my boat and get it from the boathouse, lad?
nigel: How was this plan also in my best interest?
wavetamer: With my boat, we could go out fishing to pass the afternoon away, and I could sneak you into the office after dark.
nigel: You know, I think we have a deal!
wavetamer: Very well! You can find my boat over in Boathouse Eight. You will have to use this winch handle to get it down.

manbreaker: To get to the castle you need to pass through the village.
manbreaker: And to pass through the village, you need a pass.
manbreaker: ... which you don't have ...
manbreaker: So just give it up.
nigel: Thanks. That was really helpful.
topic: passtrick
nigel: So you won't let me through without a village pass, no?
manbreaker: No.
nigel: No, you will not let me through with a village pass?
nigel: Really? So you will let me through with no village pass, yes?
manbreaker: Uhh ... yes?
nigel: Excellent!
manbreaker: HEY! You can't pass the bridge without a village pass!
nigel: Well, it was worth a try.

nigel: Well ... I just remembered that I don't want to talk to you. See ya!
Dialog Tree: moni
topic: _33
nigel: Unbelievable.
amayi: Agreed.
amayi: So I informed them that every harbor has a maritime obligation to help ships restock.
amayi: We even offered generous payment in Malabo Crowns, which is among the most stable currencies south of the equator.
amayi: However, they declined. When I demanded to talk to their superiors, they said that this man named Cain would come to see us the next day.
amayi: During the night, Cain's men came aboard The Sparrow and stole the bulk of our cargo and the ship log from my quarters.

nigel: Unacceptable.

nigel: Please stop. I cannot bare to hear more ...
amayi: If you insist, but you haven't heard the worst of it yet ...
topic: _6
nigel: What happened then?
amayi: Of course I had to stay to resolve the matter. But talking to Lowell Cain's henchmen at the bridge and the Port Authority is impossible ...
amayi: Even for a trained diplomat like myself.
amayi: Those crooks should be tarred and feathered!

nigel: This is intolerable!

nigel: Go on!
topic: _20
nigel: No more! This injustice is unbearable ...
amayi: If you insist.... but that was not all.
topic: _3
nigel: What??
amayi: The next day, Lowell Cain came to our ship. He informed us that the Castle would generously allow us stay at the harbor if we paid docking fees.
amayi: His men even issued me a worthless village pass. Can you believe that!?
amayi: When I confronted him about being ransacked during the night, he replied that his men had simply confiscated "suspicious goods" ...
amayi: ... and that WE had probably stolen the goods ourselves!
topic: _29
nigel: This just gets worse and worse ...

amayi: As you wish... but you might miss important details.
topic: stolengoods1
nigel: Lowell Cain's men stole goods from your ship?
amayi: We arrived here in Ravenhollow harbor more than a week ago to restock and to trade.
amayi: However, Lowell Cain's men informed us that the Castle now forbids foreign ships to anchor.
topic: stolengoods2
nigel: Can you tell me again about the stolen goods and Lowell Cain?
topic: whatistodo1
nigel: What are you going to do now?
amayi: As a diplomat and a trader, I demand that my stolen goods and ship log are returned.
amayi: And, in the name of my crew and the free Kingdom of Malabo, I expect an apology.
amayi: The crew of The Sparrow will stay here until these requests are met.
amayi: Or, until I lose my patience and let my blade do the talking!
topic: whatistodo2
nigel: Can you tell me again what you plan to do now?
topic: cain1
nigel: Do you have any idea who this Lowell Cain is?
amayi: He's the Baron's right-hand man ... although if memory serves me, the Baron was always an honest man.
amayi: Lowell Cain is most definitely not!
amayi: Cain didn't even blink an eye when he lied to me about the goods his men stole from me. Cain even steals from the locals.
amayi: He sends his men down to the harbor in the evening to take most of what the fisherman caught during the day.
amayi: He's not even compensating the local fishermen for what he takes!
topic: cain2
nigel: Again, about Lowell Cain ...
topic: back1
nigel: Let us change the topic, Captain.
amayi: What do you want to know?
topic: will1
nigel: I received this will. I think it was signed by a man named Lionstone.
amayi: You should find that man and consult him about it. I'm sure the locals will be able to tell you where you can find the lawyer.
topic: will2
nigel: About the will I got from lawyer Lionstone...
topic: smith1
nigel: Have you heard of the Smith Institute?
amayi: Sorry, friend. I am not from around here. You'll have to ask some of the locals about that.
nigel: Thanks anyway.
topic: smith2
nigel: Have you really not heard of the Smith Institute?
topic: back2
nigel: Enough about my problems ...
topic: problem1
nigel: I saw you in heated discussion with that castle guard on the bridge earlier ...
amayi: Yes... I fear that is a grim situation.
amayi: Lowell Cain's men stole my cargo and ship log, but to confront those two henchmen in the Port Authority about it is useless.
amayi: They've clearly had no formal training as harbor administrators.
amayi: I'd love to storm that office and arrest those men in the name of justice!
topic: problem2
nigel: Again about your problem with the Castle ...
topic: food1
nigel: Is there anything I can do to help you and your men?
amayi: In fact, there is. We are running low on food ...
amayi: Lowell Cain's men stole most of our supplies, and the local fishermen are forced to give their catch to the Castle.
nigel: I will see what I can do, Captain Amayi.
amayi: Thank you, Nigel Trelawney.
topic: food2
nigel: What was that about me helping out with food supplies?
topic: telescope1
nigel: My, that's a fine looking telescope you have there ...
amayi: This old thing? Do not be fooled by its outward appearance.
amayi: The lenses are so loose that I can barely make it focus anymore.
nigel: Well if it's that useless, then why not get rid of it? Or better yet, give it to me! I'm sure I could find a use for it.
amayi: Believe me, there is nothing I would enjoy more than casting it into the ocean!
nigel: What if I found you a better navigational aid, like a map? Then would you consider disposing of that telescope ... into my pocket?
amayi: You are persistent, Nigel Trelawney, but your offer is mutually beneficial.
amayi: I would gladly trade this telescope for a map that would guide The Sparrow safely into Malabo.
nigel: Great! I'll keep my eyes open.
topic: telescope2
nigel: What was that you said about trading your telescope?
topic: pass1
nigel: As an outsider, have you found a way to enter the village of Ravenhollow?
amayi: Yes. The Castle requires a "village pass" to cross the bridge into town. Lowell Cain's men issued me one so that I can trade with the townsfolk.
amayi: While that may sound hospitable of them, I suspect they only facilitate my business to impose heavy taxes. It is such a ruse!
amayi: I am certain that these men have no legal authority in this town. Even if that pass had any meaningful value, I wouldn't want it!
nigel: If you don't need your pass, then could you perhaps give it to me? I really need to get into the village to find my father's lawyer.
amayi: I would like to help you, Nigel Trelawney. Perhaps we can make a deal.
amayi: If you can retrieve the ship log that Cain's men stole from my ship, then I will give you my village pass.
amayi: With my ship log, I can at least submit an official report to the Malabo authorities concerning the villainy at work here.
nigel: That sounds fair ... any idea where I would find this ship log?
amayi: I honestly cannot say where Cain's men would have taken it. I can only assume that it's locked up with the rest of their confiscated goods.
topic: pass2
nigel: So about this village pass that you'll give me in exchange for your ship log ...
topic: malabo1
nigel: Where do you and your ship come from?
amayi: I am a trader of the free Kingdom of Malabo.
amayi: My crew and I have sailed together on The Sparrow under the Malabo flag for over five years now.
amayi: Mark my words: never before have we run into a situation like this. It is outrageous!
topic: dad1
nigel: I came to Ravenhollow to take care of my father's estate. Can you help me?
amayi: I doubt there is anything I can do for you, friend. However, I used to work for the Malabo Foreign Secretary. Perhaps I can offer some advice?
topic: dad2
nigel: Again, about my father ...
topic: exit
nigel: Well, I have to go now.
amayi: Be careful, Nigel Trelawney. Lowell Cain and the Castle are not to be trusted under ANY circumstance.

Dialog Tree: lars
topic: resist1
nigel: Why don't you resist if the Castle is stealing your catch?
lars: The first among us who resisted received visits from Cain and his men. Some of them seem to have been completely changed in the blink of an eye.
lars: Whatever the Castle did to them, it keeps them in their houses and it keeps the rest of us from complaining openly.
nigel: What the devil is going on here?
lars: I don't know ... but I fear that sooner or later Ravenhollow will suffocate under the tyranny of the Castle.
topic: resist2
nigel: What did you say happened to those who tried to resist the Castle?

nigel: What again does the Castle do with the fish?
topic: baron1
nigel: Who's that Baron everyone keeps talking about?
lars: Baron Northwest was living a secluded life at the Northwest Castle until five months ago ... then Cain announced the restoration of Northwest Castle's administrative status in the Baron's name.
lars: I've seen the Baron only once since then. He was sitting in a carriage with Lowell Cain wearing a black scarf and top hat.
lars: I couldn't see much since his carriage was going by so quickly.
lars: If you want to see the Baron, then just go up to the village square ... Cain's men erected a statue of Baron Northwest up there less than a month ago!

lars: You're his son? I'm very sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry that we have to meet under these grave circumstances.
lars: Our fathers were colleagues. However, I hadn't seen Mr. Trelawney for months, even before I learned of his death.
topic: dad2
nigel: So you actually knew my father? Dr. Trelwaney?
topic: hisdad1
nigel: What was your father's name?
lars: My father is Leif Sigmundson. He went to Asia after he and his colleagues closed the Institute.
lars: My old man was almost 80 years old when he left, but still healthier than I am now.
lars: He was writing me regularly, but then stopped abruptly some months ago.
lars: I suspect the castle is responsible for that too. They seem to intercept all mail that comes to Ravenhollow.
topic: hisdad2
nigel: Again, about your father ...
topic: closed1
nigel: Do you know why they closed the Smith Institute?
lars: Father didn't want to talk about it, but from what I know there was some kind of quarrel going on between the nine founding scientists.
lars: What that was all about I cannot say. I became a fisherman because I like to keep things simple.
lars: I guess if you put nine brilliant scientists together and let their imaginations run wild, then things are bound to get complicated ... and potentially dangerous.

nigel: My name's Nigel, nice to meet you Mr. ...
lars: Sigmundson's my name. Lars Sigmundson.
nigel: So, are you a fisherman?
lars: Sure, I go out to sea everyday with my son, Stig, to catch fish. So I reckon that we could be called fishermen.
nigel: I knew it. I have an eye for these things you know.
lars: And I suppose the overpowering odor of fish wasn't a clue?
topic: wire1
nigel: So, what were you doing there with that wire?
lars: Ah, you saw me twisting up one of my famed wire fishing leaders!
nigel: A wire fishing leader? What's that?
lars: Well, the end of a fishing line near the hook is very vulnerable. Fish have some nasty teeth that can bite clean through a fishing line.
nigel: Ah, I get it ... so you create a wire end for your fishing line that a fish can't bite through?
lars: Precisely! However, a wire leader is still only as good as its craftsman.
lars: Without the proper tension points, a fish can still snap a wire as easily as you might break a twig!
nigel: Oie ... you could lose a lot of fish that way.
lars: Indeed. But not my leaders ... No. Fishing is in my family's blood, and we make some of the strongest fishing tackle around. Stig and I, we could reel in a whale!
nigel: Wow, that sounds really useful. Any chance I could have one of these extra-strong fishing leaders ... just as a souvenir?
lars: Hmmm... I don't know. They're very tedious to make. But on the other hand, I'm not doing much fishing these days since the bait shop closed.
lars: I'll tell you what... if you can find me some bait, then I'll give you one of my finest fishing leaders. Deal?
nigel: Deal. I'll find some bait!
topic: wire2
nigel: What did you say about acquiring one of your extra—strong fishing leaders?
lars: I'm not doing much fishing these days since the bait shop closed. So, if you can find me some bait then I'll give you one of my finest leaders!
topic: stig1
nigel: You mentioned your son, Stig. Where is he?
lars: He spends a lot of time up in the village these days ... he's been a bit preoccupied recently.
nigel: And why is that? Is he distracted because of this terrible situation with Lowell Cain and the Castle?
lars: No, no. As hard as it is to believe, this is something much worse.
lars: He's lost his heart to his childhood friend, Cecily Caro.
nigel: Uh oh ...
lars: He pines for her, and waits for her to agree to marriage. While I think they make a fine couple, they need some help ... someone to push them together.
topic: stig2
nigel: Again, what's distracting your son Stig?
topic: job1
nigel: What's it like to be out at sea?
lars: Well, each day is different ...
nigel: Really? I thought it's always the same.
lars: Fish have their own minds. So do the winds and the waves. These factors keep the sea in constant flux.
lars: You learn to understand them over the years, yet still the sea can confront you with problems and beauty you've never expected.
nigel: So basically, the sea is like a woman.
lars: You are either very wise or very stupid.
nigel: Why, thank you... I guess.
topic: job2
nigel: What did you say it's like to be out at sea?
topic: catch1
nigel: What are the Castle men doing with your catch?
lars: The Baron's right-hand man, Lowell Cain, has declared that three-quarters of our catch must be donated to the Castle.
lars: It's only been a couple of days now, and we fishermen are already feeling the weight of our losses. It's thievery if you ask me!
nigel: That is not fair!
lars: We fishermen are not the only ones who've suffered injustice since the Baron restored power to the Castle.
lars: Look at these foreign traders, or the villagers. Ravenhollow has been completely shut off from the outside world.
