Henry Steals a Gem, Does Graffiti, and Wins a Duel in DLC Quest 8
Dela horse ar where did he come up with such nonsense that side just watch how I deal with him? Can I still help you with something or you already have everything you need for your opus magnum? No, a helping hand is always welcome. I need to wrap up all the commissions I’ve started and I can’t manage it on my own. Lately, I’ve been painting maybe too much. The last ones were a signboard for the armorer and decorations for the fortress in Shaki, but I haven’t been paid for either yet. So, you want me to go and collect the coin with a beggar sack in one hand and a hammer to break some bones in the other. It won’t be that wild. I’ll take care of the armorer myself. But if you could go to Shittoi instead of me, I’d be very grateful. It’s a bit more complicated there. How so? The baiff there promised me a precious stone as payment for the decorations. Lapis Lazuli from which the most beautiful blue under the sun can be made. But then he changed his mind and wanted to pay me in gion which I naturally refused. I want that stone. Why did the baiff change his mind about the gem? Oh, he started telling me it’s his lucky talisman and that he’ll still need it. He’s building a fortress for the gentry there and he’s expecting an inspection or something. Wouldn’t you prefer aggression? You could spruce this place up a bit. How much did he even offer you? It wasn’t a small amount, I’ll admit, but this is a matter of principle. Promises must be kept, and you can’t mix ultramarine from Gshian. And are you sure the baiff actually has this gem? He might just be trying to string you along. I’ve seen it. Well, just for a moment. He doesn’t trust anyone with something like that and keeps it in his pocket. But he’s definitely got it. And how do you imagine I’ll get the gem off the baleiff if he wouldn’t give it to you? But you, Henry, are a man of many talents, aren’t you? He’ll think of something. To start with, it wouldn’t hurt to just have a word with him. What if he simply refuses to hand it over? If words fail, you’ll have to defend my interests in another way. I’m no minstrel, after all. I’m a craftsman. My work has an agreed upon value, and I won’t tolerate anyone spreading rumors that I work for promises and goodwill. So, what should I do? Well, I painted a coat of arms and a nice ribbon below it on their fortress. It could really use an inscription. Something that tells everyone they didn’t pay me for it. All right, I’ll try to get that gem from the baiff. Excellent. Meanwhile, I’ll collect payment from the armorer. Thank you, Henry. And don’t forget, rather than leaving empty-handed, better to repaint my artwork. Have you been rolling in [ __ ] A good day to you. What brings you here? That painting here in the room, it’s the work of Voit the Painter, isn’t it? Hi. He paints well, but he’s a terribly peculiar fella. What about it? Oh, the fortress is painted, but the promised reward is nowhere to be seen. I’ve come for it. Oh, I see. And leave me be. I’ve got bigger worries. I offered him a heap of gin, but he wouldn’t have it, so he can stuff it. Voit said that for his work, you promised him something else. He says you’ve got some expensive stone. Lapis laz lazuli. They use it to make blue pigment. Well, I do have it, but I offered him a better reward. I need that gemstone more than he does. Why do you need that gemstone so badly? It brings me luck. And I need that now. After Lady Anna of Volstein died, her acquaintance arrived here to oversee the fortress construction. Her name’s Adella of Minishek, and I need to impress her. The construction, it’s not going as well as expected. The master Fabian says otherwise. Plus, I think I might have a chance with Lady Adella, if you understand me. as one man to another. [Music] So, how about making an impression on Lady Adella in another way? After all, a naval woman like her must have plenty of precious stones of her own. That’s probably true. Adella is always with that guard of hers, Yed Lichka. or by day she sits outside under the willow watching the construction. See? Then forget about some luck hidden in a magic stone and makes some grand gesture. Well, I could have something written on the wall. You’re from that painter, aren’t you? Do you know how to write? I do, but I know how you are with payment. I think I should write what a pinch purse you are instead. Oh, wait. I’ve got an idea. I’ll dazzle Adella with my shibbery. Excuse me. Are you a night or what? Well, not exactly, but I’m a burger. I’ve got a sword and armor, and I’m not a bad swordsman. That would surely enchant Adella. We’ll do it like this. When Lady Adella is sitting under the willow again watching the construction, you’ll join her and seriously insult her. Then I’ll just happen to walk by, see it, challenge you to a duel, and beat you in front of her. Good impression guaranteed. How do you imagine I’ll insult her? Well, how should I know? She’s a noble woman. They’re easily offended. For all I care, just tell her she’s got a backside like a brewery Dre horse. Great. So, we’re going to have a jewel in front of her. And it never crossed your mind that maybe I’m a better swordsman than you. Well, then you’d better make sure you aren’t if you want that gemstone. All right, let’s do it your way. Really? I I mean, great. I’ll get my armor and sword ready. You wait until Adella sits under the willow outside in front of the fortress near the bridge. That’s where you’ll insult her. She’s usually there most of the day, but definitely at noon. I understand. So, be ready. Till we meet again. Look here. I’ve come on behalf of the baiff. Good lord. What does he want now? Well, he sent me here to insult you so he can swoop in, make a big impression by defending you, and beat me in a duel. Holy Virgin Mary Immaculate. That man is driving me mad. It’s always something. I came to check on the construction, and he won’t stop pestering me. Right. You know what? Go ahead. Insult me so that Dalt comes running. And once he challenges you, kick his backside so hard he’ll run away balling. If you manage that, I’ll pay you. Well, I’d like to, my lady, but it’s not that simple. You promised me something in return. I don’t care. Whatever it is, you’ll have to get it some other way. Right, then we’ll show him up so badly he’ll never live it down. I should hope so. Let’s get on with it. Excuse me. I have never been so insulted in all my life. How dare you? Hey, what do you think? Are you all right, my lady? Oh, yes, Baleiff. Never in my life have I been so insulted. You must defend my honor like a real man. The kind I’ve been missing all my life. Yes. Yes, that’s me. Have you any last words, you scum? Lady Adella is mine. I saw her first. Lies. I’ve been watching her every day since she arrived. You’ve been doing what? Uh, well, enough talk. Fight, you fool. Go for it. Give each other a B. Pardon? What did you say? Uh, nothing. I I just need to catch my breath before I beat this wretch to a pulp. Not a chance. Looks to me like this young lad’s the clear winner. Won’t you escort me to my chambers, lad? You spine. You won’t get away with this. Goodbye, Baleith. Excellent work. This has been the first thing here that amused me. Thank you. You’ve earned your reward. How much longer will you be here? I think I’ve seen everything I needed. Ylichka and I will soon be heading back. Why is the baiff trying to make such an impression on you? I suppose he thinks if I fall for him, I won’t notice he’s not making any progress on this construction. Silly sod. Well, I’m glad I could help you, but I still need the baiff’s reward for avoid the painter. H, that might be a problem now, unless you’re willing to resort to something underhanded. Well, Viter suggested for this situation that I should improve the painting by writing on it that it wasn’t paid for. That would be embarrassing for the baiff. I doubt he can even read. If my guard yet Litka happens to stand in your way, just send him my way. You wouldn’t mind. What happens with the painting in the Bayiff’s chamber is no concern of mine. I could steal that item from him, but I wouldn’t feel right doing it. I understand. Well, I’ll think of something so Voit is satisfied. Thank you, my lady. Best of luck. You look hungry. Are you waiting for another sinful apple to fall from the tree? Yes, I’m waiting for an apple to fall from this willow so I can eat just like all the women before me. Oh, Lord above. Another simpleton coming to rescue me from the first one. Really? I’ve heard everyone calls you a Mek. Where is that? Some [ __ ] hole. That’d explain why you stink. [Laughter] You’re right. Manish is a hole. I spent most of my life in Prague. What’s your name anyway? Um, Henry. Greetings, Henry. You don’t know how much I appreciate talking to someone who’s not just trying to ingratiate themselves with me. Oh dear. Speak of the devil. Hey, what do you think you’re doing, you dung grubber? Are you insulting Lady Adella here? Are you all right, my lady? Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything. I’m better than all right. Henry here quite amused me. Um, well, amused you? Uh, surely you mean mocked. Well, really, I did amuse her more. You don’t need to interfere, Baiff. By all means, carry on with your stroll in field armor. I I’m actually on my way to deal with a loudmouth who’s causing us trouble around here. A loudmouth who looks exactly like you, you cheeky sod. Me? Defend yourself, loud mouth. I’m going to bash your mouth in. Good lord. Huh? There you have it, you wretch. And your honor is saved, my lady. This really wasn’t necessary. But Adella Horseass thanks you. You’re lucky my Yet Litka wasn’t here. He’d have laid into you twice as hard. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to recover from all that steel clashing. Where’s my guard? Did you see that? She couldn’t keep her eyes off me. Brilliant job, friend. You’ve earned your reward. And do pass on my regards to Voit. Greetings. What would you like? Um, are you Adella? Lady Adella of Nishek. What do you want? Really? I’ve heard everyone calls you Adella horse. What? Horse? What? What are you playing at, you cheeky brat? Hey, what do you think you’re doing, you dung grubber? Are you insulting Lady Adella here? Are you all right, my lady? Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything. Just like you’re taking care of that never finished fortress. Yes. You’ll see. I’m able to deal with any problem. And I’ll start with this loud mouth here. Show me what you’ve got. We don’t even know each other. Business. I dare horse. Cut up with such nonsense. for glory at Carine. Oh, what the hell was that? That wasn’t how it was supposed to end. Are you finished? Forgive me, my lady. I failed in everything. Yes, I’ve noticed. The fortress still isn’t complete. And instead of working, you’re wandering around in armor, letting people bash you over the head with iron. I’ve seen all I needed. Farewell. Damn it. Everything’s gone to [ __ ] And it’s all your fault. You’ll get nothing from me. You or that bloody painter. No, I’m not doing that. In that case, our painter can kiss goodbye to the gemstone. But if you change your mind, you know where to find me. We meet again. This must be the painting. I could improve it like Voya suggested. [Music] Huh? [Music] Oh, mother of God. Where’s that stink coming from? I could improve it. Painted, but not paid for. Are you 5 years old? Stop that. [Music] [Music] I brought you that gemstone. It’s really lovely. Just like your painting there. Especially after I improved it. What? Oh, right. Wait a minute. You You went a bit far. If you’ve got paid, you didn’t have to ruin the painting. Now, you deserved it, that’s all. Maybe so, but I’d rather it been done more honorably. This This isn’t good. It shouldn’t have gone like this. I know. So, I went to Chaki and did as you hinted, but Oh, right. So, you improved my painting. I wrote something on the ribbon. Painted, but not paid for. Once someone who can read sees it, there’ll be a fine scandal. A worthy signature for a master. I’d rather I’d got hold of that gemstone, though. Maybe. No. I’m sure it would enhance my work. But we’ll work something out. I managed to get that gemstone from the baleiff. Here you are. What? Oh, glad to hear it. How did you pull that off? The baiff wanted to impress some noble woman, so I had to lose a jewel on her behalf. I appreciate such sacrifices. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to waste. I’m sure it won’t. I hope. Is something the matter? You seem a bit off. Is something the matter? You seem a bit off. What? Me? Oh, no. And thank you, Henry. I did manage to sort something out with the armorer, though only halfway. He had no gshion, so he paid me with a curus. I’ve already sketched it in case I ever paint a knight, but otherwise it’s no use to me. You know, take it for all your effort. Wow. Thank you. But now back to work quickly before Oh dear. [Music]
