Rondra protect you! Why have you come to see me?
You! You dare walk the streets despite everything! Oh, all right, come in, quick, before you’re recognized!
Now, to make one thing perfectly clear: I don’t think you’re guilty, but don’t expect any help from me!
Now, what do you want?Ah, it’s you. Come in then.
Rondra protect you!
Does Riva have anything out of the ordinary?
Every now and then, there are reports of a haunting in the old watchtower by the harbor. For a while we suspected the guild of having a hide-out there, but we’ve searched the place several times without finding anything.
Do you think the Holberkians are the brains behind the orc uprising?
No, of course not. As far as the blackpelts are concerned, the Holberkians are inferior, they’d never take orders from them!
Do you know the rat-catcher?
Barely! He’s guided a search squad under my command through the sewers once, but we didn’t get to talking. I guess he knew the whole enterprise was a complete waste of time as well as we did, so neither of us was in a talkative mood.
Do you believe there are monsters down in the sewers?
No, I’ve been down there with search squads several times. We’d have been bound to come across tracks.
Do you know anything about the guild and the tradesmaster?
What a question! As captain of the guards, they’re all I’m concerned with these days. They’re slippery as eels, and we haven’t a chance to catch them down in the sewers, where they spend most of their time.
Just lately we tried to get the scum when they leave the tunnels. Twenty men were laying in wait all day, but we didn’t catch a single felon - I’d bet someone tipped the guild off!
Do you know anything else of the guild or the tradesmaster?
Don’t you try and interrogate me! You’re under suspicion, and I prefer not to know you’re relationship with the guild. When I’m on duty, this conversation never took place - is that understood?!
Do you know a man named Tarik?
Yes, Tarik is one of our most important informers. Often enough it was only due to him that we could prevent guild attacks. A pity we’ve never been able to catch one of those terrorists.
What’s your opinion of Bosper Jarnug?
I’ve never had cause for complaint. Anyway, it’s not my place to judge my superiors.
Sure, he often gets involved in things that aren’t really part of his duties, but Jarnug knows how to make an example, and that’s what counts in a judge.
Hold on, let me check if the coast is clear first…
Hurry now - and don’t get caught!
All the best!
You better get back to wherever you’re hiding now, I wouldn’t want to be seen talking to you. - Wait, let me make sure the coast is clear…
Hurry now - and don’t you get caught!
Duty calls! Why don’t you come back another time!
