100 A heavy set man wearing a leather apron. |
101 Balthas the tanner. |
102 A tall, muscular man who looks and smells of leather. |
151 My son was mistakenly killed in the fight. |
152 I can�t bear to live without Jonny. |
153 [Sob] |
154 Meet us down at the Ghost Farm. We�re going to attack the ghosts. |
155 Hello, my name�s Balthas. I run the tannery here in Modoc. Can I help you? |
156 You seem a bit preoccupied; is there something wrong? |
157 I�d like to see your wares. |
158 Have you seen a gold watch lying around anywhere? |
159 I�ll be back later. |
160 I�m searching for an item called a GECK. Do you by any chance know anything about it, or how I might obtain one? |
161 GECK? |
163 What can I help you with? |
168 Just looking, thanks. |
171 Any luck finding Jonny? |
172 I found this at the bottom of the old dry well. A part of the well had fallen in, and this was in the debris. I�m sorry, but I believe Jonny is dead. |
173 No, nothing yet. |
175 Thank you for returning my boy to me. There�s no way I can ever repay you, but please take this leather armor as thanks. I�ve been experimenting with a new curing process; I think you�ll find this armor very durabable, and besides -- you look really good in it. |
176 Thank you for saving my son! |
177 Please leave me to my grief. |
178 Jonny is alive! Some people called Slags have rescued him. If you can wait just a little longer, I�m working on a way to get Jonny back home to you. |
179 Jonny�s been kidnapped. The ghosts at the farm have got him, and plan to sacrifice him to their dark god. |
180 I understand; sorry to disturb you. |
181 Huh? Look, I don�t discuss my personal life with strangers. Do you have any business with me or not? |
182 Pardon me, my name is |
183 . Now that we�re properly introduced, you seem troubled. |
184 Yes, I�m interested in some leather goods. |
186 I guess I don�t. |
187 Did you say |
188 ? Yes, I think I�ve heard of you. One of the guards on a passing caravan mentioned some good things about a person with that name. I know we�ve just met, but I could really use your help. |
189 Why don�t you tell me what your problem is, and maybe I�ll be able to help. |
190 I have problems of my own, sorry. |
191 [He picks up a metal chisel and starts to wring it anxiously. To your amazement, the chisel begins to bend like putty. This guy�s strong!] My boy, Jonny, is missing! He went out to play a few days ago and never came back. We�ve searched everywhere, but still haven�t found him. |
192 Where does Jonny normally play? Does he usually play with someone else? |
193 I�m sorry about your kid, but what could I possibly do? |
194 That�s horrible! But I just stopped in to look at some leather goods. I don�t suppose I could see some of your merchandise? |
195 Oooh! Look at the time. I have to be going. |
196 Does that mean you�ll help me? Thank you! Jonny was last seen playing cowboys and Indians with his dog Laddie out front. The two of them are inseparable; in fact, that�s how we knew something was wrong. One day, Laddie came back without Jonny. We�ve been searching ever since. Take Laddie with you; maybe the two of you will be able to find Jonny. |
197 Well, you have the air of an experienced traveler. With your skills, maybe you�ll be able to track down my son. |
198 Well, yes! I am quite a skillful tracker, if I do say so myself. Okay, I�ll help. |
199 Flattery will get you nowhere. Look, I need to ask you some questions. |
200 My prayers are answered! Take Laddie with you; maybe he can help. Please hurry! |
201 Well, maybe you�re right. Thanks for listening. |
202 I�ve heard of you. Look, I don�t want any trouble; we�re a peaceful community. Let�s just keep the subject to business, OK? |
203 I have some questions for you. |
204 I don�t have any business with you for now. Bye. |
205 Well� I�m worried about my missing son, Jonny. We�ve searched everywhere, but still can�t find him. I fear that maybe wild animals got him. |
206 Maybe I can help. I do a lot of traveling; I�ll keep a lookout for your boy. |
208 I would really appreciate that. Every little bit helps. In the mean time, did you have some business with me? |
210 No, not really. I�ll be going now, thanks. |
211 Sorry, I never heard of it. |
214 Hehehe. Has Old Cornelius got you looking for his pocket watch, too? No, you won�t find it here. That old coot probably just left somewhere and forgot about it. |
215 Thanks anyway. I�ll keep looking. Bye |
216 [He looks at you closely and then smiles.] Why don�t you be a good little boy and run outside and play? |
217 [He looks at you closely and then smiles.] Why don�t you be a good little girl and run outside and play? |
218 Please keep looking. I know he�s still alive, I can feel it! |
219 That�s Jonny�s BB gun all right. Noooooooooooooooooooo! [Balthas breaks down and starts to cry uncontrollably.] |
220 I knew Jonny wasn�t dead! You say I have to wait� I don�t understand! Is he hurt? My instincts tell me to go to my son, but I sense you have my son's best interest at heart. Please hurry, and bring my son back to me. |
221 Oh no! Not the ghosts! I knew we should�ve burned that place to the ground. I won�t let them take my boy... I�m going to get little Jonny back, whatever the cost. I�m sure the residents of Modoc will help me get my son back! Meet us at the Ghost Farm. We�ll kill them all! |
