FormID: 01009918 HCTithes GREETING 0 Good to see you. Be sure to let me know when you have news of Inwold Mannick. Knew him as a boy, you know...
FormID: 0100AB44 HCTithes GREETING 0 What? Who are you? No, look; never-mind. I have nothing to offer you; so please, just leave me be.
FormID: 0100AB46 HCTithes HCTithesS10Master 0 Wh-what? Then what happened to old Callonus? Dead? You're serious? By the Nine, what's happening in these hills?
FormID: 0100AB46 HCTithes HCTithesS10Master 1 My wife... my poor Annie... I screamed my throat raw, you know - when they came and took her. Yelled myself hoarse calling to the castle for help.
FormID: 0100AB46 HCTithes HCTithesS10Master 2 The guards on the walls can hear me from here, I know it! I blamed them for ignoring me: taking my money and then ignoring me!
FormID: 0100AB46 HCTithes HCTithesS10Master 3 But no... if they're all dead, I can't be angry. They have the great, final excuse of death.
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 0 Everyone looks to me for a solution... But what can I do? I'm just a farmer!
__みんな私に何とかしろって言うけれど、どうすればいいのですか…？ただの農夫に過ぎないんですよ！
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 1 Those beasts - mystical beasts - they would come and carry off their sheep, their horses, and we - and I - can only watch on, helpless.
__あの獣たち…不気味な奴らでした。奴らはいつもやって来て、羊や馬をさらって行きました。私達のうち誰も…私自身も眺めているだけで精一杯で、どうしようもなかったのです。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 10 I even laid a trap there - took me months - to collapse in one of the narrower tunnels - to protect against 'enemies'.
__罠を仕掛けて遊んだことだってありましたよ。数ヵ月もかけて作ったものです。「敵」から身を守るため、ある狭いトンネルを崩落させようとしたんですよ。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 11 I never dreamed that I would actually need the trap - that there WERE enemies in the tunnels.
__まさかあの時の罠が本当に必要になるなんて夢にも思いませんでした。「敵」が実在する事だって本気にしていなかったのですから。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 12 I finished the trap, but those beasts surprised me and chased me out. Since that day, the Hoarfrost Castle guardsmen have always protected us.
__何とか罠は完成させられましたが、ちょうどその時あの獣たちに出くわしましてね。追いかけられたので逃げてきました。あの日からずっとHoarfrost Castleの衛兵さんたちに守っていただく暮らしが続いていました。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 13 I was always too ashamed to tell anyone of the trap - but now because I kept silent, I really have nothing else to lose.
__恥ずかしい話です。子供じみているからと思い、あの罠の事は誰にも話した事がなかったのですが、そのせいで今の私は大事なものを失ってしまった…。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 14 I really think that using my trap could block off the tunnels, and stop these beasts crawling out from... wherever they come from.
__きっとあの罠を作動させればトンネルを塞ぎ、あの獣たちが通って来るのを防げるはずです。奴らがどこからやって来るにせよ、です。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 15 It must be done! No-one else should lose their wife over my stupid pride! You do this, and I'll see to it that everyone starts paying tithes again.
__ええ。きっとこれは義務なのです。私一人の馬鹿げたプライドの為に、妻を失う苦しみを他の人にも味合わせるような事があってはなりません！どうかお願いします。これが解決出来ればみな快く税金を払ってくれるでしょう。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 16 Take this key. We've been trying to keep the door to the tunnels locked. Never holds those beasts for long, though...
__この鍵をお持ちください。私達はこれであのトンネルを封鎖しようと試みてきました。実際、奴らを長期間食い止められたためしはないのですが…。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 2 I hated them for it - so much ill will bent towards that cave... I swear they smelled it; followed it back here like wolves on the scent of blood.
__そういう経緯があるので、奴らと奴らの棲み処である洞穴に対する私の恨みは相当なものですよ…。きっと奴らは血に飢えたオオカミのように匂いを嗅ぎ付けてここに戻って来ていたのです。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 3 And then they came and carried... carried Annie off, into the cave. Left me near-crippled; a wretch unable to protect his own wife...
__そしてついに、奴らは妻のAnnieまで洞穴に連れて行きました…。自分の妻一人の身さえ守れないような出来損ないの男ひとりを残して…。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 4 I tried to enter the tunnels; the Glowing Tunnels - to get her back; but they near to killed me every time!
__妻を取り戻そうとトンネルの中に入ったこともありました。Glowing Tunnelsです。しかし結果は、毎回半殺しにされるばかりでした。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 5 And now... now it's been too long... She's gone for good... Nothing for me now but the farm.
__あれからもうだいぶ時間が経ってしまいました…。彼女は二度と帰ってきません…。私に残されたのはこの耕地だけです。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 6 Listen; I know what you're here for; and I can tell you right now that they won't pay your tithes while this state of affairs continues.
__いいですか？あなたがここにやって来た理由は分かっています。けれど率直に言って今の状態が続いたままなら誰も税金なんて支払いはしませんよ。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 7 They don't trust the Hoarfrost name any longer; and can you blame them? Stop these beasts, though, and I'll... I'll talk to them.
__Hoarfrostの人間を信用する者などもはや誰もいませんが、それだって仕方ないでしょう？奴らを倒してさえ頂ければ…まあ、私が彼らとの仲を取り持っても良いですけれど。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 8 These mystical creatures come through the Glowing Tunnels - east of here - from somewhere deep in the mountain; no-one knows where.
__あの不気味な怪物たちはGlowing Tunnels…ここから東に行った所です…を通ってやって来ます。奴らのねぐらはもっと山奥でしょうが、それが何処なのかは誰も知りません。
FormID: 0100AB48 HCTithes HCIMTithesS10What 9 I know this because I used to play in those caves as a boy. In my ignorant, mischievous youth I fancied the caves as my own.
__私は子供時代にあの洞穴を遊び場にしていましたから、その辺りの事は理解しています。無邪気で…そして馬鹿な子供でした。あの洞穴を自分の城みたいに考えてたんですからね。
FormID: 0100AB49 HCTithes GREETING 0 Tell me when you've collapsed that tunnel - but until then, please; just leave me to my grief.
FormID: 0100CA09 HCTithes GREETING 0 H-help... (cough) Help! You there! Please, won't you let me out? There's a great beast in these caves; he locked me in here!
FormID: 0100CA0B HCTithes HCTithesS50AreYou 0 Yes, I am - how did you know? Did my husband send you after me? Is he alright? Tell me: is Inwold alright?
FormID: 0100CA0D HCTithes HCTithesS50Fine 0 Good. (She exhales slowly.) Oh... that's good - you don't know what a relief it is to hear that. When those monsters came, I saw him go down, but...
FormID: 0100CA0D HCTithes HCTithesS50Fine 1 Please: you must let me out of here, and take me to him. I don't know when that - oh no; it's the beast! Look out behind you!
FormID: 0100CA0E HCTithes GREETING 0 Look out!
FormID: 0100CA0F HCTithes GREETING 0 Is it... dead? Oh, thankyou! That thing has been keeping me for... I don't know how long - and I don't know what for! I'm glad I didn't find out.
FormID: 0100CA0F HCTithes GREETING 1 Please: can you take me back to Inwold? I don't think I could make it on my own. He must be out of his mind with worry...
FormID: 0100CA11 HCTithes HCTithesS57Follow 0 Thankyou so much.
FormID: 0100CA12 HCTithes GREETING 0 Yes?
FormID: 0100CA14 HCTithes HCTithesS60Follow 0 Thankyou so much.
FormID: 0100CA16 HCTithes HCTithesS60Wait 0 Are you sure? Alright; but please, don't be long!
FormID: 0100E29C HCTithes GREETING 0 Oh, there he is! Look, friend; there's nothing I can do to thank you enough - and if you speak to my husband, he'll feel the same way, I'm sure.
FormID: 0100E29C HCTithes GREETING 1 Inwold! Are you alright?
FormID: 0100EC81 HCTithes GREETING 0 Annie's alive? She's ALIVE? Is she alright? Please - bring her to me! You must... Please!
FormID: 0100EC82 HCTithes GREETING 0 Annie! You're alive!
FormID: 0100EC83 HCTithes GREETING 0 Friend! I must thank you again for all you've done. Please, if there's ever anything I might do...
FormID: 0100EC84 HCTithes GREETING 0 The Master of the castle! Yes, I believe you have earned the Hoarfrost name now; well and truly.
FormID: 0100EC84 HCTithes GREETING 1 You brought her back to me - my Annie - when I... I thought her lost forever. [Inwold's eyes fill with ecstatic tears.]
FormID: 0100EC84 HCTithes GREETING 2 And that you have blocked the tunnel and stopped the beasts coming through as well! I just can't thank you enough!
FormID: 0100EC84 HCTithes GREETING 3 When I tell everyone what you've done, they will all resume paying tithes; I'm absolutely sure of it.
FormID: 0100EC84 HCTithes GREETING 4 If there's ever anything you need, don't hesitate to ask!
FormID: 0100EC85 HCTithes GREETING 0 The Master of the castle! What can I do for you?
FormID: 0100EC85 HCTithes GREETING 1 How is Ignatius doing, by the way? Give the old codger my best regards when you next see him!
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 0 Welcome back, Master Hoarfrost. I've heard the good news: the nearby settlements have agreed to resume payment of tithes.
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 1 And thank the Divines you were able to rescue Inwold's wife: that sounded like quite an awful ordeal for the Mannicks.
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 2 Now, we shall receive tithes on a weekly basis. As Master of the castle, you are entitled to a portion of those tithes.
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 3 Each week, I shall place your entitlement in a money box by the bed in your master bedroom. The first payment is due tomorrow.
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 4 Of course, the majority of the tithes will go to supplying and maintaining the castle - and to the castle-staff's wages.
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 5 This is good, because if we wish to properly earn these tithes, we need a retinue of guards to protect the castle and nearby settlements...
FormID: 01010ED8 HCTithes GREETING 6 But I am getting ahead of myself. Remind me to tell you of my ideas regarding the hiring of guards for the castle when you have a spare moment.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 0 Ah - Master Hoarfrost, yes: I said I would discuss with you the hiring of guards for the castle, didn't I?
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 1 There is a mercenary group I know personally: a very capable bunch that call themselves the Highland Company.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 2 I believe they would be very interested in living and working here at Hoarfrost Castle as full-time guards.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 3 If their Captain, Sabinus Palenix, takes you into his confidence, he may well tell you the story of why that is.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 4 You can find the company in their lodge; west of Chorrol, along the Black Road.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 5 I would recommend speaking with Captain Palenix at your earliest convenience. This place is vulnerable without a retinue of guards to protect it.
FormID: 01011F7A HCTithes GREETING 6 The sooner Hoarfrost Castle is securely guarded, the sooner we can speak more on hiring a full castle-staff.
