text="{=bXfBBvzl}I'm from the fen Dairl. We're not one of the biggest clans of Battania, but we're good fighters. When I came of age, I left my father's home for some years to live in the woods, as a Wolfskin. It is a custom we have, for youths to run as Wolfskins. They don't eat cooked food or live in houses or wear spun cloth, and in turn are not answerable to the laws of men. " />
<string
id="str_npc_interrupt_1.16"
text="{=H7Y4lTjl}I think I've heard of that custom. Don't the Battanians say it teaches them the ways of the woods?" />
<string

text="{=TaDaCPb8}I did not ask to hear your story. I have other business." />
<string

text="{=vYY87DK9}Fah. The Wolfskins are rich feral children, playing at being animals. There was one in my band, Deimul fen Gruffendoc, a cousin of the king. He had a quick tongue. He mocked me, every chance he had. I was slow and could never think how to answer. One night I couldn't take it any more. I pulled my knife, and we fought. I stabbed him in the thigh and no one knew how to staunch the bleeding so he bled to death." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_d.16"
text="{=pVSiRbni}I am sorry. It has been a long time since I spoke at such length to anyone. I think it is the wine. It has gone to my head. It has been three years that I have lived in the woods, with only the wolves for companions." />
<string

text="{=1KFSnLeb}Three years by yourself? You must have learned a great deal of woodcraft. I may have need of a scout." />

<string
id="str_npc_signup.16"
text="{=Xxmiytv0}Patrols and hunting parties would sometimes come into the woods. I could run circles around them, and they would never know I was there." />
