Is that...? The Bugmaster... Hundreds of years and he's finally been slain...

Bayan

Is that...? The Phoenix mutt...

Bayan

Valtena of the East...?

Bayan

Seta of the South...?

Bayan

Hm hm! Impressive...

Bayan

Hm hm hm!... I should have expected no less of the famous Battle Born.

Bayan

Mmh... It really is... I should have expected no less of the famous Battle Born.

Bayan

Honor to you, kin.

Bayan

Honoured, legendary /YOURNAME/.

Bayan

I'll fight until the end.

For the Stone Golem, I fight. / Long live the Stone Golem! / For the Stone Golem. / Enemies of my lady, no mercy.

Bayan

Valtena of the East...?

Bayan

Seta of the South...?

Bayan

The Stone Golem saves her energies for the art of combat. Not the art of gum flapping, as my lady describes it. And that's why I'm here. What do you want, outsider? And make it quick, I'm a busy man.

Bayan

Honor to you, kin. As you know, the Stone Golem is not one for gum flapping as she so fondly describes it. That's what I'm here for. So, what do you need?

Bayan

Honor to you, Phoenix slayer. What do you need?

Bayan

Honor to you, Bugmaster slayer. What do you need?

Bayan

Is that...? The Phoenix mutt...

Bayan

Is that...? The Bugmaster... Hundreds of years and he's finally been slain...

Bayan

Leave, Okranite mutt. You're not welcome here.

Bayan

Leave, Empire money grubber. You're not welcome here.

Bayan

An ally of the Traders Guild is no ally of the Shek. Leave.

... Hmph. Think I'd fall for your trickery, Empire boot licker? The Shek can't be fooled with gifts, and they certainly don't need the help of a United Cities flatskin to defeat their enemies!

Bayan

... Shame. Either an honorless dog stabs his own king in the back, or a devious snake takes the Shek for fools...

Bayan

... Hmph. Think I'd fall for your trickery, noble boot licker? The Shek can't be fooled with gifts, and they certainly don't need the help of a Traders Guild flatskin to defeat their enemies!

I wanted to propose an alliance.

What happened to your horns?

I've no business, sorry to disturb you.

Can I speak with the Stone Golem?

Reply

Aye... (Hand him over to Bayan)

Bayan

... Slain by an Okranite dog... Shame. Well, better take him to the Phoenix mutt since you kiss his feet so much.

Bayan

Slain by an Empire boot licker... Shame. Such impressive skills wasted on such a loathsome allegiance...

Bayan

Slain by an noble boot licker... Shame. Such impressive skills wasted on such a loathsome allegiance...

Bayan

Mmh... It really is... Our most infamous of enemies.

Bayan

Hm hm! Impressive...

Bayan

Take him away.

Bayan

... An alliance, you say?... [He stifles an odd-looking grin]

Bayan

An alliance, you say?

Bayan

[He winces, shrivels his face as if sucking on a sour greenfruit]

Bayan

Impatience. I already told you, outsider, no... What business can a stranger wielding a rusted sword possibly have with the mighty Shek empress...?

Bayan

You may, kin. But, as I said before, the empress is not one for words.

Bayan

You may, kin. The empress will be honoured to meet such a warrior in the flesh.

Bayan

You may, kin. The empress will be honoured to meet such a warrior in the flesh.

Bayan

You'll go down in history for this, as a true ally of the Shek...

I just want my reward... (Hand him over to Bayan)

Bayan

Speak to Esata, kin. She'll be honored by your company.

Bayan

Honor to you, kin.

Bayan

Hmph! The shek do not 'need' help. They win their battles by their own sword or they don't win them at all. It is one or the other. In the Shek Kingdom alliances are not handed out to nobodies like sake in a swamp...

Bayan

You've already earned our camaraderie, kin. An enemy of yours is an enemy of the Shek.

Bayan

Mmh! An enemy of the Holy Nation is an ally of the Shek.

Bayan

With the mighty Bugmaster slayer? Mmh, it would be Esata's honor! An enemy of yours is an enemy of the Shek, kin.

Bayan

With the mighty Phoenix slayer? Mmh, it would be Esata's honor! An enemy of yours is an enemy of the Shek, kin.

Bayan

Hmph! With a Holy Nation mutt? No... It's us or them. In the Shek Kingdom alliances are not handed out like sake in a swamp...

Bayan

Hmph! With YOUR allies? No... It's us or them. In the Shek Kingdom alliances are not handed out like sake in a swamp...

Bayan

Hmph! With YOUR allies? No... It's us or them. In the Shek Kingdom alliances are not handed out like sake in a swamp...

... Are my horns really that important to you, outsider?

Reply

It was nothing. I enjoyed the challenge.

Reply

I just want my bounty. I'm not interested in your alliance... or gaining your enemies.

Bayan

Take your money and leave.

Bayan

Hmph.

How about I take care of your Berserker problem?

What if I kill the Phoenix for you?

Forget I ever asked. I have another question...

Reply

Your loss. I'll take my leave.

Reply

What if I kill the Bugmaster for you?

Reply

How about I donate funds to you?

Reply

Then that is all. Thank you, Bayan.

Reply

Yeah, I mean, you're not a proper shek without them, right?

Reply

I'm just curious how a mighty warrior such as yourself lost his horns...

Reply

They're not. I shouldn't have asked.

Bayan

Pity. You'd make a fine Invincible.

Bayan

Futility. You think the Stone Golem needs help dealing with lost kin? Let them do what they will, it is OUR business.... Next question, outlander!

Bayan

Hm hm! Amusing. I dare you to bring him to me. Kill the Phoenix, or the Bugmaster for that matter, and I'll sing your praise until death takes me to the other side...

Bayan

Mmmmph... The Stone Golem was right. You outsiders do talk too much.

Bayan

Hm hm! Amusing. Kill the Bugmaster, or the Phoenix for that matter, and I'll sing your praise until death takes me to the other side...

Bayan

... [He raises an eyebrow and scowls]

Bayan

Reply

... Or not then.

Bayan

They were lost... I lost. Curse tradition, death is the easy path. I stand and face the consequences of defeat rather than cutting my shame short. I chose not to abandon the kingdom's cause for my own selfish preservation of honor. And because of that, I'm alive to fulfil my purpose. To serve the Stone Golem...

Bayan

[He shakes his head]

Bayan

Hmph. So are you done with the senseless questions, outsider?

Reply

Not yet.

Reply

I'm done.

Bayan

Mmmmph, idiocy. Then make it quick. I grow bored of this incessant chatter...

Bayan

Peace and quiet.

Bayan

Good. See you on the other side, kin.

Bayan

Good. See you on the other side, kin.

Bayan

Good. See you on the other side, kin.

Bayan

Stay down

Be still / For the Stone Golem... / I fight for the Stone Golem... / For the Stone Golem, I kill a thousand men...

Bayan

... Is that the Bugmaster?

Bayan

... Is that the Phoenix?

Bayan

Hm hm hm! The desert emperor slung over shoulder like a dead dog...

Bayan

Like walking into a raptor nest painted in nectar...

Bayan

Like walking into a raptor nest painted in nectar...

Bayan

Like walking into a raptor nest painted in nectar...

Bayan

Over here, kin.

Bayan

Hm hm hm!

Bayan

Don't expect me to protect you from my kin's blades...

Bayan

... Okranite mutt.

Bayan

... Desert crawler.

Bayan

It really is the Bugmaster...

The Bugmaster, finally slain... / Unbelievable... / Shame... / Taken down by a mere flatskin... Shame on us all... / The shame... / Dishonor to Kral... / Humiliation...

Bayan

The Phoenix is slain...

Deviousness... / Shame. / The Shek need no help from a flatskin... / Hmph. / Crawl back to your hole, scum...

Bayan

Hm!

Hm hm hm! / Hm hm! / Hwuh hwuh hwuh! / Hwuuuuh! / Hu hu hu!
