Mm mm. The finest bloodrum... And it looks like I have a guest? Lucky I'm feeling charitable. Have a drop.

Enlighten me.

Gristle flaps?

Longen

Tinfist... Tinfist and his ninjas. He plagues our guild, sabotages our order, sets our slaves loose. Industry and harvest aside, do you know what happens to these escaped slaves, countryman?

Longen

... No.

They live happily ever after.

They stop being useful, start becoming a pest.

No idea.

The gutters have a slave buffet.

Longen

See the corpses that litter their paths. They terrorize drifters, nomads, merchants. They become yet another threat to stave off in the outlands. A feral will always be a feral... For themselves and for others, the best solution for taming a wild animal is to leash it...

Longen

Is that supposed to be a joke?

Longen

Exactly.

Longen

Right, but worse. What of the the lucky ones?

Longen

But Tinfist, ever the madman, unleashes these ferals on the innocent...

So why not kill him?

I can take care of Tinfist for you.

Tch, madman? Tinfist is a hero!

Longen

Because he can't be killed. Sever the head and the body will fall... but one hundred years and not one of these so-called guards has put an end to Tinfist's insanity.

Longen

Of course, sever the head and the body will fall... but one hundred years and not one of these so-called guards has put an end to his insanity. What makes you think yourself different, countryman?

Longen

Is this some kind of joke? Do you even know what you're saying? Hailing top terrorist leaders to the ruling opposition will land you in a prison cage...

Then allow me to try for you.

When you send in ants to battle a legend, what do you expect?

Quite a problem you've got yourself there.

I consider myself a natural born hunter. Tinfist makes for a good challenge.

Reply

I am death itself, I've killed countless villains. Tinfist is nothing to me.

Reply

I simply enjoy the thrill of a decent fight, that's all.

Reply

Long live Tinfist!

Reply

Enslavement of human beings... you're the real villain!

Reply

Apologies. It was a joke of poor taste.

Longen

By all means, try all you will, countryman. Fight for us, fight with us against the anti-slavers and you fight for order, civilisation and prosperity...

Longen

... Legend?

Longen

Yes, and a problem I need a break from right now. As pleasant as your company's been, countryman I 'd like to be alone now.

Longen

Not much of a guest, are you, countryman?

Longen

That's quite a claim...

Longen

Well, I'm not exactly filled with confidence at that but...

Longen

This guy's insane! Get him out of here!

Longen

It was innapropriate, countryman... Whatever, I need a break from this subject anyway. Leave me to my drink.

Longen

The choice is clear. The Traders Guild are the protectors of the working man. We are the life blood of all civilized land... In more ways than you'll ever comprehend.

To take down a legend, you need another legend. Me.

Reply

Anyone with any shred of humanity knows Tinfist is a legend. A hero.

Longen

Hope you enjoyed the bloodrum, countryman

Longen

Crazy anti-slavers...

Longen

And find yourself a better sense of humour.

Longen

Fetch me my bottle, won't you, pup? I need a drink...

Bystander

Yes sir.

Longen

You need to leave...

Longen

NOW.

Longen

...

Longen

Guards! Rid me of this limpet.

Longen

Ngh! Just make it quick... please.

I'm bleeding? I'm bleeding! / Is that MY blood? / Breathe... breathe... / You're not my doctor, where's my doctor?!

Longen

Ngh... My thanks, countryman

Longen

Feral slaves need leashing...

Longen

Crazy terrorists...

Longen

Take him away, guards.

Longen

It- it's over?...

Longen

I need a doctor, somebody carry me...

I can't walk. Carry me, somebody...

Longen

I need help... Guards, I'm bleeding...

This can't be happening... somebody protect me! / I need a doctor... / I'm hurt... Help me, guards... / We can't lose... not like this... / he mustn't win! / Crush him! he must not win! / Kill him!

Longen

I know an ex-slave when I see one!

Longen

Guards, get him!

Longen

/YOURNAME/, so good to see you...

Longen

Take a seat, make yourself comfortable.

Longen

So. You did it. You took down the biggest thorn in society's side of the last hundred years...

Longen

My men tell me you're the one who took down Tinfist...

Longen

With Tinfist gone there be no more famine, no more chaos, no more suffering... I like to think I reward my allies well, /YOURNAME/. You're the saviour of our nation, and no harm will come to a single hair on the head of our nation's saviour...

You're to take good care of /YOURNAME/...

Bystander

Understood, sir.

Yamdu has served me well, /YOURNAME/, I hope he comes in useful to you too.

Sir!

You're now promoted to Noble Squire Supreme.

Bystander

Thank you, sir.

Longen

Safe travels, saviour.

You'll find the prison OUTSIDE...

I know the sight of that rusted junk heap better than my own mother...

Longen

I'm happy for your catch but please remove your bounty from my premises.

Longen

Take it to the police and come back to me...

Longen

You'll live like a king, you have my word. You've outdone yourself, countryman.
