<string id="str_npc_intro.5" text="Greetings, wanderer. How goes it?" />
<string id="str_npc_intro_response_1.5" text="Well enough, I suppose. How goes it with you?" />
<string id="str_npc_intro_response_2.5" text="Busy. Very busy. So if you excuse me, I shall be moving on." />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_a.5" text="Well enough for me, I suppose. But I fear for this land, in these sorry days, when men are cowards and huddle behind walls for their protection. I fear for a land where lords hoard their troops, for why protect the citizens of the empire, when you may change emperor at the drop of a hat? We watch from the walls as plumes of smoke rise from raided villages, feeling no shame at letting raiders ride through at their will." />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_b.5" text="I also fear for a land when men are afraid to fight beside a woman, lest she show herself to be more of a man than they are. I was born on the frontier, where sons and daughters alike learned to hunt and shoot. In those days the emperors found a place in their armies for anyone who could show skill at arms - man or woman, citizen or barbarian. I signed up here by showing myself a better archer than any man on the garrison. But the master of archers, who cared first and foremost about winning battles, died of the flux shortly after I joined. " />
<string id="str_npc_interrupt_1.5" text="Go on." />
<string id="str_npc_interrupt_2.5" text="Never mind." />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_d.5" text="I told the captain of my frustrations. He laughed at me and called me 'girl.' He told me that, if I wanted to fight, I should leave his force and get married, and surely my husband and I could beat each other to our heart's content. " />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_d.5" text="Well, even if I wished to marry, I know well enough that no man of this town would marry a woman who bears scars like mine, honorably earned in the empire's service or not. " />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_response_1.5" text="Sorry days indeed, my lady. But if you are unhappy with your current employment, a good archer's skills are always welcome." />
<string id="str_npc_backstory_response_2.5" text="Soldiers must learn to be content with the orders they are given." />
<string id="str_npc_signup.5" text="(i will give you a chance)" />
