<string
id="str_npc_intro.19"
text="{=r7P5d97H}Greetings, stranger. Looking for someone to shed blood for you?" />
<string
id="str_npc_intro_response_1.19"
text="{=D9hP21YA}Um, I might be. Do you have some relevant experience?" />
<string
id="str_npc_intro_response_2.19"
text="{=XJZ9XV1U}Not at present, madame. Good day to you." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_a.19"
text="{=vGokzhrp}Oh yes. I do indeed." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_b.19"
text="{=IcD7bMKe}I was born out on the steppe, but imperial slavers took me when I was a girl. The Empire had legends of warrior-women out in the deep steppe, and when I was sold, they claimed I was one of these - to entertain them by making their legends come true. They taught be to use a sword, and I learned well." />
<string
id="str_npc_interrupt_1.19"
text="{=a4yeaMZq}Yes. Go on." />
<string
id="str_npc_interrupt_2.19"
text="{=H4fGpzOV}This is fascinating, but I'm a bit pressed for time. Good-day for now." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_c.19"
text="{=3Yax10rQ}Well, perhaps there is something to those legends, because I did very well for myself, and made my master very rich. Imperial law now decrees that men are not allowed to kill in the arena, but no one pries into what happens at the private entertainments of the rich, and over a score of my fellow slaves must have felt my blade in their chest." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_d.19"
text="{=bmdw47FV} Each kill won my master a chest of silver. I feel no guilt - my opponents were trying to kill me, and some came very close. Do you have anything to say to that?" />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_response_1.19"
text="{=iVXlb8Lv}No, no. Do go on." />
<string
id="str_npc_backstory_response_2.19"
text="{=5A0dXh2j}I don't really have work like that, if that's what you're asking." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup.19"
text="{=vuiCGQpZ}There's not much more to say. My master was a debauched animal but he let me keep a small share of my winnings, and eventually buy my freedom. I think he may also have realized that eventually, had he kept me against my will, he'd have ended up with a severed neck vein." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_2.19"
text="{=JrHYSBL1} So here I am, looking to make a living through the only means I know - shedding other people's blood. Got work?" />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_response_1.19"
text="{=bKFWqaxQ}I'm not sure I can pay you like he did..." />
<string
id="str_npc_signup_response_2.19"
text="{=SjQiHp6W}I'm not sure you're quite what I'm looking for..." />
<string
id="str_npc_payment.19"
text="{=j4MeTe5O}I know what a hired blade makes, and I expect no more payment than anyone else in your company. But I would ask you for a small fee in advance to ensure you're not thinking of cheating me. Shall we say {NPCPAYMENT}{GOLD_ICON} denars?" />
<string
id="str_npc_payment_response.19"
text="{=yTnm04Hh}I can afford to pay {NPCPAYMENT}{GOLD_ICON} denars. Make yourself ready." />
