LEVEL_4=Wicked Forest
LEVEL_5=Underwater
LEVEL_6=Lake City
LEVEL_7=Battle for the Stork's Nest
LEVEL_1_PICKUP_GOLD=Found some gold

LEVEL_1_ELF_GOLD_INFO=Meager remnants of elven treasure. Before the undead settled here, this forest belonged to the elves.*That was a long time ago, before the war... now those times seem like the past life.

LEVEL_1_SHOP_INFO=Wizard:*"Hail, adventurer. Before you say anything: yes, my spells are expensive. But you can find the gold by looting the skeletons that are constantly trying to break free from their tombs. I'm trying to make sure that they don't overrun this area, but my strength isn't enough."

LEVEL_1_CHRONICLER=Caesar the Scribe:*"During the reign of Bjorn the Foul-mouthed, royal court was guarded by 500 warriors. Now they are known as Black Valka order. When the First Elven War has begun, and our country nearly drowned in blood, the King wanted to hire them as the royal army. Refusing to fight under his banner, they were exiled from Bjorn's land.*A week later, the peasants from Emerald Vale to Triton Lakes saw caravans led by knights in black cloaks that went for the Sharp Mountains border and dissolved in its thick shadows. Thus the royal guard became known as Black Valka."

LEVEL_1_SIGN=Sign:*"This is the border of Black Forest. Abandon all hope all ye who enter here."

LEVEL_1_HORSE=Your horse refuses to go further. You'll have to walk.

LEVEL_1_LEVER=You hear a door opening somewhere






LEVEL_2_WIZARD=Stranger:*"Be careful, knight. The night is dark and full of terrors."

LEVEL_2_SLAVE=Slave:*"Damn each one and all of you. You all shall be poisoned. One day, I'll lose my chains and you'll be sorry..."

LEVEL_2_BARD=Bard:*"When hours have gone by, I'll close my eyes..."

LEVEL_2_WHORE=Harlot:*"Want me to warm your sheets?"

LEVEL_2_WHORE2=Aarin:*"Be careful around here, knight. Snakes here are so long that sometimes you can't tell where one ends and another begins."

LEVEL_2_HOMELESS=Wormy the Homeless:*"Wormy wants a coin. Give a coin to Wormy."

LEVEL_2_JERK=Guyer the Farty:*"...and I tell him: "Man, you have an arrow in your knee! Sit down, relax, and drink some healing potion".

LEVEL_2_GUARD=Guard:*"Looking for somethin'?"

LEVEL_2_SLAVE2=Slave woman:*"Was the King really killed?"

LEVEL_2_SLAVE_MASTER=Gronak the Slavemaster:*"I have the best slaves in the entire Empire. But if you're looking for weapons, you should ask our blacksmith. His weapons are damn good."

LEVEL_2_PIG=Hammer: *"Stop looking at me like that. Oink-oink... do you know that Dream Island has always been ours? Elves got that island only after Pigger gave it to them.

LEVEL_2_GAARD=Sir Haard the Bright Sun:*"Oh ye glorious knight, I am so glad to see you! Queen is already waiting for you! Make haste, for it is emergency, and for the fate of our kingdom is at your hands."

LEVEL_2_QUEEN=Queen Bringilda the Gray-Haired:*"I am glad you are here. We might have had some disagreements with your order in the past, but hard times demand compliance. I am ready to put up with it.*You might have heard that my husband has been poisoned and that the Crown of Unity has been stolen by the assassin. This outrageous deed caused turmoil amidst my vassals. And to think it has been done at times when goblins are close to our borders!*You are our only hope. My warriors chased the assassin to Wicked Forest, but the trail ends there... I'm convinced that elves were involved somehow but my people require proofs.*I've heard about your... skills. Help us and I'll restore your order's place at the royal court and our bards will sing odes about your mighty deed."

LEVEL_2_MONK=Plutarch the Scribe:*"Hunger, poverty and the constant struggle for survival forged the order's will and discipline. Every member of the order was taught to wield swords since childhood and later they were encouraged to master various magical practices. As a result, battle mages of Black Valka became the most popular mercenaries in the kingdom. Despite them not accepting each and every quest, they became the most prized mercenaries in expeditions."






LEVEL_3_GAARD=Sir Haard the Bright Sun:*"This tunnel, like many others, has been built long before I was born. Even before the First Elven War. With its help, kings and their people could reach almost any nearby place without any problems.*It hasn't been used for a while though, but it will help you shorten your way to Wicked Forest.*Before you go, there's another matter... The Queen is convinced that the elves were involved in the murder of the King. If that would be true... we all will drown in blood. That's why I advise you not to kill anyone blindly. We'll not survive another war.*Well, good luck. May the Gods bless you and guide your sword."

LEVEL_3_OLD_WITCH=Old Hag Creedy:*"Well I'll be damned! A real knight! What are you doing in these god-forsaken corridors?*Oh, looking for a way to Wicked Forest. Well, you have to know that it is guarded by a hag like me, but she's less friendly. But I think your blade is as sharp as your wit...*Just listen to this silence, knight. You won't find it above. In such silence, sky was giving birth to its first stars. Oh, how long I haven't seen the sky! Yeah... wait, where were we?*Ah yes... my rat, Miasma, will guide you to the exit. Don't thank me. Just promise that you won't come here anymore. You remind me of my son, so... don't stir up the past. Just go." 




LEVEL_4_STRANGER=Stranger:*"Assassin! Assassin! I saw the assassin! He jumped into the well! He ran to Lake City! Catch him! Kill him! Bring back the Crown!"

LEVEL_4_GERILDA=Herilda:*"What's wrong with you mortals? You have to urgently go to Lake City as well? Do you think I can or want to help you? Ah, yes, the fate of the kingdom, blah blah blah... you're not the first to tell me that.*But you're more handsome than the last one... hm, maybe I will help you, mortal. For the right price, of course. You'll have to give me, say... two of your memories that you cherish the most. In return, I will teach you the spell that won't let you drown, for the shortest path to Lake City is underwater.*Make your choice, but do so wisely; you don't hit me as the type that has a lot of pleasant memories. Jump into the well if you dare, mortal."




LEVEL_6_ANIL=Anil the Black Rose:*"Lake City is free of racial prejudices. Elves here are on par with humans.*Some time ago, I lived in place that is now called Wicked Forest. Have you been there?"

LEVEL_6_KID=Dorian:*"My father died defending this place. When I grow up, I'm going to be a soldier too."

LEVEL_6_LEYA=Leya:*"I don't want to live like this but my mom's very sick. We don't have anyone to help us."

LEVEL_6_IRIS=Iris:*"I know what you need, knight."

LEVEL_6_DRUNK=Drunkard:*"Give me a drink and I'll teach you how to spew fireballs outta yer ass!"

LEVEL_6_JERK=Dew:*"Anil is so beautiful! Do you think I have a chance with her?"

LEVEL_6_CAROL=Karl:*"I've been traveling for thirty years but I've never seen a situation like this. The King is dead, the war is nigh, and the Stork's Nest is full of demons."

LEVEL_6_CHORUS=Horus:*"Books are my only solace in the world. In books, I immediately see who's good and who's bad." 

LEVEL_6_HODA=Hoda:*"One day, I'll run away and maybe I'll play by Stork's Nest."

LEVEL_6_PRINCESS=Princess Kaya:*"Oh, you're a knight. I love knights."

LEVEL_6_ADA=Ada:*"For only 30 silver, I'll show what a real woman is."

LEVEL_6_VIMA=Vima:*"It's hard to raise a child alone.*Dorian looks like his father."

LEVEL_6_SHOP=Trader:*"I sell healing herbs and potions. They will refresh your strength and heal your wounds."

LEVEL_6_OLDMAN=Old Man Hugo:*"When I was a young lad, I could kill a dragon with a fork! Not like you, youngsters! Nowadays you want magic swords and enchanted armor! Ugh!"

LEVEL_6_LOUI=Louis the Pompous:*"That Anil is gonna get kicked out of town, I'll see to it. What is she flashing her tits here for? Art, my ass. Tits are considered art now! What's next? Are we going to call sluts artists?*No, I'm not angry about Anil refusing to marry me! I'm just worried about our youth! What if the kids see this?"

LEVEL_6_SHANNA=Shanna:*"Oh, man. I can't stand this boredom. Tell me about your adventures."

LEVEL_6_KILLER=Albert:*"You found me! But I didn't kill the king! He gave me his crown himself! Everything's not like they told you!*The Queen is blinded by her hatred for elven kind, she wants to start a new war, but this crown is the only thing that's stopping her. She's in cahoots with a necromancer called Uzgur and they want to conquer our kingdom! They have poisoned the king and now, in Stork's Nest, the evil wizard is preparing the army of undead!*You must go back and kill the necromancer! Otherwise, it will be only a matter of time before the dead will rule us... although we will no longer care."

LEVEL_6_GAARD=Sir Haard the Bright Sun:*"Wait! It's not you think it is! Stork's Nest is on fire! Its corridors are haunted by the undead! The Queen went crazy! People are scared! I went after you and found Albert here, he told me everything. Just listen to him!"





LEVEL_7_NECROMANCER=It seems like the necromancer has been here for a while.

LEVEL_7_PORTAL=I don't know where this portal leads, but I hope we won't see them again.

LEVEL_7_NECROMANCER_DIALOGUE=Uzgur the Necromancer:*"No, it's impossible! No mortal can defeat my almighty army! I'll be back! You will be sorry for thiiiiiiis!"

LEVEL_7_QUEEN=Queen Brinhilda the Gray-Haired:*"I didn't expect that this fool Haard would help you. You should have just kill that scoundrel and bring me the crown! But that no longer matters, since I lost... Uzgur, let's run!"

BINT_ITEM=Ham
