===Ballymoral, first visit===

{{spoiler|start}} 

(*): I came to Ballymoral lookin' fer work, but the place is in a bit of a slump at the moment.

(*): Aaah, I shoulda known. If it's work ye're after, ye can't beat Endor.

(*): Welcome to Ballymoral Castle!

(*): Ye're another culchie from Lakanaba, aren't ye? Aye, there's one of yer fellas from back home in the castle lock-up.

(*): If ye're here to have a chinwag with him, ye'll want to make sure ye're not spotted by the guard.

(*): Y'know, Endor's only a good spit from here. I'd been there once meself before the bridge was banjaxed.

(*): Aye, there was a quare old fella there tryin' to sell me his shop, so there was.

(*): Have you heard they've started payin' top gold fer armour here at the castle?

(*): 'Tis unsettlin' altogether, so it is. I just hope we're not buildin' up to a war or suchlike.

(*): There's talk these days about a band o' foxes out to bewitch people. They trick folk by disguising themselves as humans!

(*): But foxes are nothing to worry about. You just need a dog with you, and you'll be fine.

(*): I do be runnin' an armour shop here, so I do. But with all the monsters about recently, I'm sellin' out faster than I can buy.

(*): It just goes to show ye, yer ordinary fella puts more of a price on protectin' himself than on fightin' others.

(*): So, what I'm tryin' to tell y'is, I'm clean out o' stock at the minute. Sorry about that.

(*): If ye'll excuse me, (Sir/Ma'am). I'd ask ye not to go banjaxin' other people's property if ye don't mind.

(*): D'ye realise that no one can go to Endor at the moment because the poxy bridge is banjaxed?

(*): If Archie O'Tect was about, the repairs'd be boxed off in no time. What's holdin' the ole feen up?

(*): There's a desperate shortage of armour here in the castle.

(*): I don't s'pose ye'd consider sellin' some o' yours, would ye?

(*): But ye've nuttin' to sell, have ye? Come back when ye're ready to do business, like.

(*): So, what is it that ye'd be wantin' to sell, then?

(*): (Item), is it? Sure, I'll take (them/it) off ye for # gold coin(s). How does that sound?

(*): 'Tis a done deal, then. A pleasure doin' business with ye.

(*): Now d'ye fancy sellin' anytin' else at all?

(*): No? Well that's a shame...

(*): Sorry, fella, but I've weapons an' the like comin' out o' me ears. 'Tis only armour I'm interested in.

(*): Ye'd be in a right pickle if I took that off ye now, wouldn't ye? Stop playin' the maggot. I'm not buyin' it.

(*): Then I'll be seein' ye when ye do. Come back whenever ye want.

(*): Ye wouldn't? Well that's a shame.

(*): But I'll give ye some advice, seein' as yerself is an aspirin' merchant an' that.

(*): Don't just trade in weapons.  There's quare money in armour, so there is.

(*): Endor's a rich land.

(*): 'Tas been the King's wish fer many a long year to take it fer his own.

King Shamus: What!? Still no Archie O'Tect? What in the devil is the fella playin' at!? Is he lost in the bog, or what?

King Shamus: How am I s'posed to invade Endor with the bridge bein' banjaxed?

Prince Regan: Who dares talk to the Prince of Ballymoral?

Prince Regan: Ah, a travelling salesman, is it? In that case, I've a favour to ask you...

Prince Regan: Meet me behind the weapon shop after nightfall.

(*): Yer Highness, Yer Highness! You don't want to be talkin' to the likes o' this spalpeen. He's just a merchant.

(*): Go on! Get away with ye!

Prince Regan: Don't forget about the letter. I'm counting on you.

Prince Regan: ...

(*): This here is the Prince's personal chamber. 'Tis no place for a common arms merchant.

(*): This is the dungeon! Talkin' with the convicts is strictly forbidden, so it is. Get away outta here!

(*): Who are you?

(*): This is the dungeon! Talkin' with the convicts is strictly forbidden, so it is. Get away outta here!

(*): Me? I'm only the finest thief on the Goddess-given earth! Not like himself over there, the common crook!

(*): He's a worthless gurrier from Lakanaba, so he is.

(*): Ye might not be able to see the fella in the cell over there, but he's inside, to be sure. Sleepin' at the back, I expect.

(*): Torneko? Torneko Taloon? I'm right, aren't I? 'Tis meself, look! Old Man Finn's son...Finnegan.

Finnegan: I made a bags of everytin' an' ended up in here, but I've done a lot o' thinkin' an' I'll not be criminalisin' again.

Finnegan: Ye're a trader, aren't ye, Mr. Taloon? Ye could fetch me a chimaera wing then, could ye not?

Finnegan: Ye have one on ye already, ye say? Then I'm beggin' ye. Give it me now, an' I'll make it up to ye back home, like. 

Finnegan: Thank ye, Mr. Taloon. Ye're a grand fella, so y'are. An' I promise on me life that I won't be doin' nuttin' wrong again.

Finnegan: I'll be seein' ye back in Lakanaba, then. Bye, now.

Finnegan tosses the chimaera wing into the air.

Finnegan: Ye can't turn me down like that! Please!

(*): 'Tis forbidden to enter into the castle at night.

(*): Come back in the mornin' when it's light an' we can keep an eye on ye.

(*): Prince Reeeeegan! Prince Reeeegan! The Prince has vanished, so he has. I can't find him anywhere...

Prince Regan: Ah, it is yourself. You remember me, of course? Prince Regan.

Prince Regan: So, I've a favour to ask, like I said. I want you to go to Endor for me as soon as the bridge is fixed.

Prince Regan: I want you to give this letter to the princess there.

Torneko receives the Prince's letter.

Prince Regan: Don't let me down, now.

Prince Regan: As soon as the bridge is fixed, deliver that letter to Princess Veronica of Endor.

Prince Regan: The fate of our two kingdoms depends on it! I'm relying on you.

Torneko reads the letter.

"My beloved Ronnie, I still daren't mention anything about our affair to Da.

"And I'm just after finding out that he plans to invade your dear land of Endor.

"I had to do something before that happened. Please, inform your father before it's too late."

...but the Princess of Endor isn't around to listen!

(*): Ah-phew... Ah-phew... Gold...gold...gold... More monsterzzz... More armour... Ah-phew...

(*): Entrance to the castle is only granted to civilians durin' the day. Away with ye an' come back in the mornin'!
