Know what I heard from the caravan guard last night?

UC Bar patron

Did you hear Tinfist struck the stonecamp last night?

UC Bar patron

Hoo! Think it's Tinfist?

UC Bar patron

'Ey, what's with those rags, you're wearing anyway? Look like you've been chewed on by a gutter...

UC Bar patron

I envy Lady Kana, I really do... How does she keep such a smooth skin complexion?

UC Bar patron

These tax hikes are killin' me! When's it gonna end...?

UC Bar patron

You know, Lord Inaba's out in town today I hear. Better clean yourself up...

UC Bar patron

Trade's dried right up this last year, I'm losing money. Big time...

UC Bar patron

Friendly word of advice... Don't mess with the nobles.

UC Bar patron

Careful on the road, traveller...

UC Bar patron

Did you get a good look at Captain Eyegore? Makes my skin crawl, that guy...

UC Bar patron

So Tinfist finally bit the dust, eh..

UC Bar patron

oi, ain't you the one that beat Tinfist!?

UC Bar patron

*Sigh*

UC Bar patron

I know that face!

UC Bar patron

This one here...

UC Bar patron

Tinfist's back, and terrorising the slave caravans to boot...

UC Bar patron

Surprised the guards haven't arrested you on the spot in that state, ha haha...

UC Bar patron

This dry air sucks the moisture right out of my face like a dried fish!

UC Bar patron

Lookin' a bit scrappy. Don't wanna offend the Inner Circle now, do you?

UC Bar patron

And it's all on the Trader's Guild. They're doing a piss poor job of securing the roads...

UC Bar patron

Hooo, no sir, don't go near the nobles...

UC Bar patron

Watch those anti-slave cultists. Bunch of loonies freein' slaves and what have you...

UC Bar patron

Drinks on me, eh!

UC Bar patron

Time's are dark when the nation's strongest general bites the dust...

UC Bar patron

We got a celebrity in our midst... the Phoenix slayer!

UC Bar patron

I heard he took down the Shek Queen...

UC Bar patron

Look, I got a souvenir from my trip to the hives last week...

UC Bar patron

Strung one victim up naked and left him to the gutters... poor guy.

Bystander

Shh, keep your voice down!

Bystander

You say that about every skeleton you see...

Bystander

Tell me about it. Was gonna buy m' little Ren a coming of age gift...

UC Bar patron

What merchant in their right mind is gonna risk attacks from those rabid slave escapees?

UC Bar patron

*Fart*

Bystander

I heard he eats babies...

Bystander

Guess he ain't so invincible after all...

Bystander

You got a Lantern Of Radiance? How exotic! What's it do? Let me see!

Bystander

Anyone hears you spreading stories about that guy and you'll be beaten to the ground...

UC Bar patron

They all look the same!

Bystander

Really? This again? I've got more important things to worry about right now than fashion...

Bystander

Are you seriously having this conversation with me right now?

Bystander

But after the guards came banging on my door for their rounds this morning? No chance.

Bystander

... Aye.

UC Bar patron

Bullshit.

UC Bar patron

Well, now the farms are safe we won't EVER go hungry again...

Bystander

Drink up, man! Ain't everyday we get celebrities comin' in 'ere...

Bystander

Mm. I dread to think the monster that managed to take down Eyegore...

Bystander

The Phoenix slayer?!

Bystander

Huh. Who'da thunk.

UC Bar patron

Okay, okay, take a look. But don't touch! Don't want you ruining it's juju with your filthy mitts...

Bystander

Such tragedy. Those poor slavers have it hard enough in the outlands as it is...

UC Bar patron

...

UC Bar patron

... I tease but, you know, I worry. They're clamping down on poverty lately and I don't wanna lose my drinking bud...

Bystander

I've got samurai guards on my back and a failing business to boot... Not to mention a vicious bout of pinkeye!

UC Bar patron

Oh! And how is little Ren anyway?

Bystander

But it's the only place worth trading, we're the merchant capital of the land!

UC Bar patron

But then... even Lord Tengu himself is scared shitless of him...

Bystander

I'll drink to that!

UC Bar patron

World's always gonna have monsters. Just monsters with different faces is all.

UC Bar patron

I tell ya, wouldn't wanna spill his grog that's for sure...

Bystander

Ooh, it's so shiny!

UC Bar patron

*Glug glug*

Bystander

*Sigh*

Bystander

Stick to your United Weeklies and save me from your mind-numbing gossip, will ya?

Bystander

Not so little anymore actually, her talons are growing out of control! She'll have someone's eye out at this rate...

Bystander

A few disgruntled slaves shouldn't deter anyone with a good business head and a couple of half-decent guards...

UC Bar patron

Good riddance to 'im, I say.

Bystander

*Shudder*

Bystander

Oh, oh! Will you sign my butt cheek?

Bystander

...I know.

UC Bar patron

... Huh, did you say something? I wasn't listening.

UC Bar patron

Ah, so sweet! Give her a tickle behind the ears for me, eh.

UC Bar patron

Then explain why my profits are down, eh?

Bystander

Y'know they got him from the southern hives. Whole new breed of stick man, those southerners...

UC Bar patron

Don't be so crude, that's a star you're talking to!

Bystander

Pah, idiots! That piece o' junk will fall apart within the day...

Bystander

Bah! Then stop picking at your nose and listen...

UC Bar patron

'Cause my customers sure didn't disappear into thin air...

Bystander

I heard he cut a man in half... From the groin up.

Bystander

... Sorry, sir.

Bystander

The stickmen are nawt but lying scammers.

UC Bar patron

Wouldn't surprise me.

UC Bar patron

Tch, such a downer...

UC Bar patron

Brrrr! Let's change the subject. Gives me chills, that guy.

Bystander

Open your mind, for once in your life. Such lack of culture in some people...

UC Bar patron

Just... just go sit in the corner, Dan.

Bystander

...

Bystander

.... Wow, it's so shiny.
