"Battles. M'self, I be a stranger to New Magincia."

"I be hired as a bodyguard for Master Robin, as is me partner, Leavell. The pay be good."

"Robin be a high stakes gamblin' gent who makes his living inna casino at Buccaneer's Den."

<Robin> "A living that would not have been anything near as profitable if not for thy good works, Battles."

"Thank yer, Milord."

"Gamblin' is how Robin makes his living. I do not think he has had a regular post in all of his life!"

<Robin> "Why, I thank thee for the compliment, Battles!"

"The casino in Buccaneer's Den is called the House of Games and it the most fabulous place I have ever seen in me life. I shall never forget the first time Robin took me there. He walked away with a hundred gold pieces for less than an hour's work!"

"He's a lady's man, he is. But do not be thinkin' he cannot handle hissel' inna fight. T'would be yer last mistake."

<Leavell> "I can near out wrestle thee, Battles, ye old dog!"

"Har! Har! Har! Har!"

"Why, I reckon Leavell has broken near as many hearts as I have made stop beating!"

<Leavell> "So many!"

"Just the practice Leavell has had in fending off jealous husbands 'twould make any man a master combatant!"

"Strangers?

Thou must mean us!" Battles snorts loudly.

"We be looking to get off this boring rock, New Magincia, and back to Buccaneer's Den. If ye have a way to get us there, and away from these peasant knaves, Master Robin shall pay ye well."

"Canst thou imagine spending thine entire life here with nothing happening day after day after day? 'Tis enough to drive a man mad!"

"The people here are so lacking in education that they never even heard of gamblin' before! Never heard of gamblin'? That is what life is all about!"

"I sar a locket jus' like the one thou be describin' in the possession o' Master Robin. The last time I sar it was... Lessee... It was right before the three of us went drinkin' at the Modest Damsel."

"Be seein' ye." END
