Arayanna: Gentlemen, thank you for giving us a few minutes of privacy. Would you care to join us now?
1b.
Gus: It would be our pleasure.
Maeye: Zenlan, another round of ales for our friends, please.
Ryder: But I was telling my best dirty jokes.
Arayanna: And I will take an ale as well, but I do prefer reds over blondes if you have any.

2a.
Arayanna: So Maeye tells me we may have a common problem. You are also searching for someone who was taken from you?
Gus: Not from us directly. We are currently in the employ of Count Aderan Reed. His caravan was attacked by savage beasts and his daughter, Mi'yalla, was kidnapped.
Ryder: The good count has hired every blade and bow from here to the Coalwood to find her and get her back.
2b.
Arayanna: It seems we have suffered a similar fate as your Count Reed. We too were attacked on the road and two of our friends were kidnapped.
Arayanna: Would you care to join us when we go after these monsters?
Ryder: No offense, M'lady, but from what we heard, these creatures are dangerous. We don't want to have to be responsible for anyone's safety while we are on this hunt.
Maeye: Ha! No need to worry ablut us. Aray has already killed two of these things.

3a.
Gus: What is it that we are facing? The reports we have heard are both strange and conflicting.
Arayanna: Minox.
3b.
Gus: Minox!
3c.
Ryder: Hmph.
3d.
Gus: Please do not be offended by this question, but are you telling us that you have single-handedly killed two Minox?
Arayanna: I did kill one, but only by taking it by surprise. The other was crushed in a cave-in.
Ryder: Come on. You killed a Minox? Even with surprise on your side, that is quite a boast.

4a.
Maeye: Boast? Boast! Are you implying that we are lying?
Ryder: Well...
Ryder: ... if the greaves fit...
4b.
Ryder: Uh oh!
