★"Not very appetizing, is it? But beggars can't be choosers. Now for my next trick..."
★Acquire Gruel
★Mmm... how rustic. Oh well, it's what they eat. Now, time to magic it!
★"Well, the peasants miss their bread, so I will provide it! I'll need an oven, though."
★Acquire Barley Bread (Large)
★What should SimTitle0 do?
★What food should SimTitle0 use to multiply?
★"I'll just ask them why they're so upset."
★"SimTitle1 should know what's going on."
★"I'll give them what their beloved staple: barley bread."
★"Beggars shouldn't be choosers. They should be satisfied with gruel."
★Travel to Crafthole
★Travel to Tredony
★"How am I supposed to tackle this problem?"
★This should be fun. Time to try this spell out. I should be able to fire it off from the town square.
★"Ah... another spell to try out."
★Memorize Rainstorm
★Memorize Multiply Food
★With her incredible trading skills, SimTitle0 swiftly gathered enough food to feed the starving peasants. And next harvest, the peasants were still talking about the party that SimFirstName0 threw for them.
★"I grow weary of these demanding peasants."
★Location:"  Reception Hall-------------------------------------Primary Hero:"  Merchant-------------------------------------Supporting Role:"  Monarch
★SimTitle0 gave and gave, but it was never enough. In the end, the peasants took all the barley she had, and still they demanded more.It was clear that she would have to acquire vast quantities of barley -- more than the kingdom could provide. And to do that, she would need funding from the throne.
★Good question indeed. Who will want to trade me for these bloomers? Tredony? Crafthole?
★You're welcome to them, SimFirstName0. But who's going to want to trade with you for hundreds of frilly smallclothes?
★As far as I can tell, the barley harvest was especially bad thanks to an exceptionally dry season. The people are desperate for their staple: barley bread.
★Thank you so much. This will feed my family for the next few days. You'd be willing to do this for the whole village, wouldn't you?
★Ah, SimFirstName0. Thank The Watcher you're here. As you can see, we have a bit of a peasant problem. Well, technically there's a famine problem, which has resulted in all these peasants ending up on my doorstep. Be a good girl and sort them out, won't you?
★Oi, I've got to feed me kids, too!
★Excellent work, SimFirstName0! However, even though we can feed the peasants now, they could probably use some cheering up. Please do the kingdom a favor: take this money and throw them a celebration. I'll have the reception hall opened for your use.
★Isn't not that hard to understand, is it? Our barley crop was wiped out by drought. So now we're hungry and angry! All we want is a little bread, you know?
★The spell fizzled.
★Great party! The drinks are delicious! Well, I suppose me and me mates had best be gettin' back to the fields. Thanks for your help!
★We heard you were the one who summoned up that storm. T'aint right, you know! That storm flooded the river and swept away three of my cows! I demand compensation, I do. Oh, and if you see SimTitle0, tell her we're still starving!
★Wait, who's there? What is this filthy peasant doing in my tower?
★Ah, look. Plants are popping up already. I'm a genius!
★When the summons to the throne room came for her, SimTitle0 was not surprised. The autumn harvest had been poor, leaving many of the peasants poor and destitute. It was a simple fact that some were destined to have and some to want, and only a dedicated merchant could redress such an imbalance.
★When the summons to the throne room came for her, SimTitle0 was not surprised. The autumn harvest had been poor, leaving many of the peasants poor and destitute. It was a simple fact that some were destined to have and some to want, and some were bound to complain about it.
★Oi, thanks. How about some for my cousin?
★Beer? Sounds great! We'll see you there!
★Wow, this really is a lot of... gruel. I guess this will feed my family for a while. You'll be magicking up food for the rest of the village, right?
★I'm sorry, SimFirstName0, but the royal treasury is in bad shape, thanks to that famine. But I do recall SimFirstName1 telling me that the royal closet has an excess of bloomers. Some eight hundred pairs or so. You might see if our neighbors, Tredony and Crafthole, have had a better harvest and would be willing to trade.Oh, and see SimFirstName1 about those bloomers, if you like.
★"We don't actually have any grain to spare either, but we'd be glad to take your socks in exchange for some quality Crafthole wooden planks. Here's a sample."
★"Barley for wood? Perfect! Done deal! We'll have a shipment of the finest Tredonian barley sent over immediately."
★Socks? How delightful! We'd be happy to trade you a ton of barley for socks! Let me see those socks!Amazing quality! Yes, we'll have a shipment of the finest Tredonian barley sent over right away.
★"I can trade for anything."
★"My magic is more powerful than any natural disaster."
★"Hmm... who should I try first?"
★"I suppose I'd be cranky if I wasn't able to have a good beer now and then."
★Get the Peasants Buzzed
★"Craftholers must wear bloomers, right?"
★Check Trade Conditions in Crafthole
★"I hope Tredony has the barley we need..."
★How delightful! Look at all this food!
★"Here goes nothing..."
★Cast Multiply Food
★Cast Multiply Food in the Village
★"Gah, I guess I have to do this a few hundred more times now..."
★"I know Tredony needs socks -- they're always a popular item."
★Check Trade Conditions in Tredony
★My, look at all this... gruel. Well, it worked.
★"What the peasants need is a good old-fashioned storm to cure their drought, and I've got just the one!"
★Cast Rainstorm
★With her resourcefulness and magical powers, SimTitle0 saved the peasantry from starvation, and quelled the rebellion.
★Primary Hero:"  Wizard
★A kingdom is only as wealthy as its poorest residents. The poor are as deserving of food as the rich. Feeding them is of the utmost importance.
★Ask about Peasants
★"It's still not working, is it? What does SimFirstName1 think I should do now?"
★Ask SimTitle1 about Peasants
★Pick Victim
★Pick a Victim to Execute
★"Now, who should I make an example of?"
★Request Advice
★"I can't just let these people starve. I hope SimFirstName1 has some idea of what to do."
★Request Advice from SimTitle1
★Hear Grievances
★"Fine, I'll let the people have their say, but don't expect me to like it."
★Hear the Peasants' Grievances
★"Let's hear this straight from the horse's mouth... as it were."
★Invite to Feast
★"I suppose having a feast couldn't hurt. Everyone loves a feast, right?"
★Invite the Peasants to a Feast
★Ask about Filthy Peasants
★"I hope SimFirstName1 has a good explanation for the presence of these... people."
★Ask SimTitle1 about Filthy Peasants
★That will teach them a lesson!
★"I won't stand for this type of behavior. Not in MY throne room!"
★Send a Peasant to the Stocks
★Send Peasant to Pit of Judgement
★What should SimTitle0 do?
★How should SimTitle0 deal with the peasants?
★"Why don't they just tell me what they're angry about?"
★"I'll teach them a lesson for invading my throne room!"
★"Surely lowering the peasants' taxes will engender goodwill towards me."
★"Enough is enough. A peasant must die."
★"We can't have these kinds of goings on in my throne room... something must be done."
★"Hmmm... keep up the pressure, or play nice?"
★The peasants rage at the monarch has yet to be quelled, and the TownName throne room still reeks of poverty.
★In the end, SimTitle0 magnanimity won over the peasants. They returned to their fields with praise for SimFirstName0 on their tongues... along with sweet taste of grilled bear.
★Location:"  Reception Hall-------------------------------------Primary Hero:"  Monarch
★Well, you could always keep punishing the peasants, Your Majesty, but I suspect that trying to make things easier for them might help more.
★Why... thank you, Your Majesty! We'll be there!
★Fine! I'm going, I'm going!
★You can't just ignore us!
★Hmmm... these people are just angry because they have no food. But it's not my problem, is it? And I certainly can't do anything about it with them cluttering up my throne room!
★I'm going... but I'll be back!
★Well now. Maybe I'll have a bit of peace and quiet. But I should probably see SimFirstName0 about this whole famine problem.
★Awww... but I like it here! Everything's so clean and shiny...
★You've done it, Your Majesty! What an awesome display of leadership!
★There, now let's see how they feel about that!
★What? Why me? Nooo!
★You'll never get away with this, SimTitle0!
★I think the people appreciate that you are trying to help them, Your Highness, but I believe that they would appreciate a celebration to show that you care for them. Hunting a bear and serving them food from the royal hunting grounds could win them over.
★Your Highness, this autumn harvest was exceptionally poor, placing a great strain on the common people. I can only imagine that they are here to express their displeasure.
★Phew! What's that smell? Is that... peasant!? What are all these filthy people doing in my castle? SimFirstName1 had better have some answers.
★SimTitle0 was suddenly struck with the feeling that something was not right in TownName. She wasn't sure what it was, but something was definitely amiss in her throne room. She had to find out what was going on.
★I won't stand for this kind of behavior. Someone must be punished!
★I can't cave now, I'll look weak! I have to step up the punishment!
★No, I don't think it's working. You've just made them more depressed. I really think it's time to be merciful, Your Highness.
★Oh dear, they're back, and they're angrier than before. I'd better ask SimFirstName0 what to do about this.
★"The poor must be shown a firm hand."
★I'm no chef, but that looks pretty tasty to me...
★"These peasants better appreciate all this work I'm doing for them. Are they really worthy of fine meats hunted by yours truly?"
★Make Large Bear Stew for Peasants in Reception Hall
★"I suppose the peasants could use a break. There is a famine going on, after all."
★Lower Food Taxes
★"Bah! If the peasants want food, I'll give them food!"
★Hunt a Bear
★"Now that I've listened to what they have to say, I want them out!"Peasants Shooed: 2/4
★"Now that I've listened to what they have to say, I want them out!"Peasants Shooed: 3/4
★There, that's better. I suppose I still have to do something about this peasant situation, though.
★"Now that I've listened to what they have to say, I want them out!"Peasants Shooed: 0/4
★Shoo All of the Peasants
★"Now that I've listened to what they have to say, I want them out!"Peasants Shooed: 1/4
★Bah, I can't tell. How does SimFirstName1 think this is going, anyway?
★"I trust that the peasants will appreciate my efforts on their behalf."
★"There, now let's see how they respond to that!"
★Wait a Few Hours
★"They'll all be begging me for their lives soon enough!"
★They still won't leave! What am I going to do about this now?
★The peasants must not be allowed to take their frustrations out on their betters. A Ferrous fist will put them in their place.
★A recent crop shortage had brought the peasants to the brink of starvation. An angry band of them descended upon the TownName throne room where they were staging a protest. They demanded food!Would someone come forward who could feed the peasants, or would their uprising be quelled?
★Famine Fever
★Get SimName2 onto the operating table and perform surgery! Post haste! It's the only answer at this point.
★Compete

★With the aid of an industrious fisherman, SimTitle0 won the fishing competition! She received much adulation and plaudits... at least among the fishing community of TownName.But who would win next year?

★Discuss Competition with SimTitle1
★I guess I should talk to both fishermen and see what they have to say.
★"Hmm... I should check with those old fishermen for advice."
★Go to the Docks
★This looks like what the fisherman wanted.
★"I guess SimFirstName2 needs a snack?"
★Acquire an Apple for SimTitle2
★I can't believe I'm really going whale hunting with this tiny thing. Oh well, to the docks!
★"Really? The village store carries whaling harpoons?"
★Acquire Whaling Harpoon
★What should SimTitle1 do about the fee?
★Maybe whale hunting?
★Whose advice should SimTitle2 follow?
★"Does this creature really exist? Apparently I have to fish while I'm so unfocused I can't catch anything. At least that's what SimFirstName2 said..."
★Find the Mysterious Lobster
★"Finally, it's time to do some fishing!"
★Catch a Prizewinning Fish
★"It's a fair fee. I'll pay it."
★"I'm sure we can waive the fee just this one time. After all, it's me!"
★"That's insane. I'm going back to SimTitle0."
★"That SimTitle0 seems on the level."
★"I like the cut of SimTitle1's jib."
★"YES. Let's do this."
★Oh, you want help winning the competition do you? Nice of you to go and seek out an old salt like me. Now, if you want my help, just bring me an apple and we'll get started. Oh, and don't listen to SimFirstName0 over there, he's a bit... crazy.
★My goodness, what a massive lobster! Some might dispute that a lobster is really a fish, but I think it's pretty clear, don't you? And I'd normally give people a chance to catch a bigger fish, but let's face it, no one's going to catch anything bigger. Congratulations, you are our champion! Please accept this cash prize!
★Are you interested in the competition? Yes, anyone can enter. Anyone who hasn't already won, that is. The entrance fee is only 100 Simoles.
★Now that looks like a nice snack. Alright, now listen up: fishing is all about state of mind. If you're in a good mood and focused, the fish will bite. Oh, and also, different fish live in different waters. So if you're not catching what you want, try another spot. Now go see if you can catch a good-sized fish.
★"Oh lass, my eyes are stinging, and that isn't just the salt water. You've done an old salt proud.
★Oh my, that's quite a story. I assume you have proof? Yes? Well, I'll just have to declare you the winner, SimTitle0! Congratulations!
★Wow! This will win the fishing competition for sure!
★Hey, this will win the competition for sure! I guess fish really do go for eel stew...
★Oh lass, my eyes are stinging, and that isn't just the sea water. You've done an old salt proud.
★test
★Unfortunately, no. Goodman Laird has already turned in an enormous tench and is currently leading the competition. Good luck beating that, SimFirstName0!
★Oh, hey there. You want help with the competition? Well, if you want my help, you cook me up an eel stew, and I'll offer you some advice that's bound to win you the competition. Ol' SimFirstName0 can catch anything in the water, but he don't cook that well. Just don't listen to that SimFirstName1. He's a lying liar.
★SimTitle0 had announced that the annual TownName fishing competition had begun. All were welcome to enter. SimTitle0 would have all of the details.
★No way, old man, you'd get me killed for sure!
★An enormous tench, you say? Well, I guess there's only one last thing for you to try. It's only a legend, but some folks say that every 50 years, a massive lobster appears to a downtrodden fisherman in need of a big catch. This lobster apparently takes pity on only the saddest individuals, so you're going to have to prove to the lobster that you're pathetic enough to win its favor.
★Oh, lass, I didn't think that trout would win. The trout's merely bait for a larger fish. A MUCH larger fish. I'm talking whale here. Are you up for the challenge?
★Good choice, girl. You know, a whale was responsible for my parents' deaths, and I've never forgiven those beastly fishies. Anyway, the first thing you'll need is a proper whaling harpoon. Fortunately, most village shoppes carry them.
★A cry went up from the crew as the whale surfaced to swallow the trout. SimFirstName0's blood was roaring in her ears as she leaped at the whale, spike in hand. Finally, she would strike a blow for her parents.
★"A cry went up from the crew as the whale surfaced to swallow the trout. SimFirstName0's blood was roaring in her ears as she leaped at the whale, spike in hand. The thought flashed in her mind that the fishing competition wasn't worth this..."
★Pleasure doing business with you, SimTitle0. Just be sure to get well away from the dire chinchillas as soon as you let them out.
★The treasury thanks you. Here's the deal. The person who turns in the biggest fish in the next few days will win the prize. Previous contest winners SimTitle0 and SimTitle1 might be able to offer useful advice, but be warned: one of them is an old eccentric and has been known to give dubious advice. I forget which one, though. Sorry!
★Fine, take them! But I hope they eat your face off!
★The fishing expedition was unsuccessful.
★Oh, I suppose we can waive the fee just this one time. Here's the deal. The person who turns in the biggest fish in the next few days will win the prize. Previous contest winners SimTitle0 and SimTitle1 might be able to offer useful advice, but be warned: one of them is an old eccentric and has been known to give dubious advice. I forget which one, though. Sorry!
★The whale hunt was unsuccessful.
★Ah, that looks delicious! Too bad I can't eat it. Oh, you thought that was for me? No, this here stew is what we fishermen like to call "bait." Just take this down to the pond and try to catch a good-sized fish. I'm sure you'll have good luck.
★"How much could a few dire chinchillas be?"
★Looks like I have enough to pay the fee.
★"Sounds pretty steep for a fishing competition..."
★Have at Least ｧ1000

★Oh, SimTitle1. Dedicated servant, that one. I sent her off on some official TownName business. Of course, all you need be concerned with is the amusement of my esteemed guests and myself.
★I think it would actually make me bad at my job if I approved of this plan. You want to give all power over your domain to a fool?I am your loyal servant in all things, but I do wish you'd reconsider.
★You? Become the monarch? Surely, you jest& get it?! You have no claim to the throne, not with that pompous SimTitle2 out of the way. Now dance for my pleasure! DANCE, fool!!
★A decent effort, SimFirstName0. With a bit more practice you'd make a fair jester after-all! ...Not that you aren't already a jester, of course!!Umm... a jig! A lively jig for all!
★Your Majesty, surely you jest? This is your realm, these are your people! You cannot just take a day off. There are too many things to do! Who's going to do all the things?!
★Greetings, Your Majesty. Slept well? Anyway, here are a few domestic writs that need your authorization, and two diplomats have arrived from our neighboring provinces and are awaiting an audience to discuss some nuances of your foreign policy.
★Yes, very droll, SimFirstName0. Our visiting diplomats certainly seemed to enjoy that little program.
★ There you are Jester SimFirstName0. The court has been a bit dreary without your presence. You know what could liven this place up& a rousing fiddle song. Let us hear your best&
★Yes, trade relations are strained by all the bandit attacks along the caravan routes. If I hope to continue benefiting from our commerce agreements, I'll have to reallocate security patrols.
★Hey, nice robe you found. Been robbing the homeless? Anyway, Your Majest& er&  Jester SimFirstName0, enjoy your time off. I shall do my best to fill your regal shoes. Can't wait to see you perform in my throne room. HA!
★Wonderful, Your Highness! Now, we are only slightly behind on our agenda. Petitioners are descending upon the throne room, and while you attend to the people's needs, I shall be preparing the next batch of documents for your perusal. There has also been a call for an edict vote later today, which I advise you to prepare for.
★SimTitle0 surveyed her kingdom wearily. On some days the crown sat more heavily than others. With a sigh, she went in search of SimTitle1, who would surely be waiting with an updated agenda already--every minute, no doubt, rigorously planned out.

★"Well, that takes care of that!" the Queen said merrily. Then she chuckled. "I almost feel like I need a vacation from my vacation! HA!""Yes, m'lady. Quite so." muttered SimTitle1. The advisor presented an armful of scrolls. "Here are the trade agreements as well as a list of repeals I'm suggesting.""Burn them!" cried SimTitle0. "I've decided to take the rest of the day off."
★Primary Hero:"  Monarch
★Very impressive moves you got there, SimFirstName0& Unfortunately, I wanted a lively two-step to accompany my regal luting; you gave me more of a one step& perhaps one and a half. Now, as much as it pains me to do so, I shall have to send you to the stocks! Perhaps you can practice your dancing there, while trying to dodge rotten food.
★Poor, misguided fool. I know first-hand the pressures of running TownName, even for a day. I believe SimTitle1 has learned her lesson. Plus, good entertainers are hard to come by!
★Sincerest apologies, my liege!! The power just went to my head, is all! You are a mighty ruler indeed to resist its urges.Mercy, Your Majesty!!
★"That is indeed unfortunate, SimFirstName0. I do so enjoy a good jig.Perhaps a trip to the stocks will change your mind. I can't have my fool refusing my royal orders, now can I?!"
★"I demand frivolity!"
★"Okay... pageantry... Oh, I've got it! Just let me don my trusty fool costume and I shall show them a puppet show for the ages!"
★"Welp, this all backfired pretty terribly."
★"Let my subjects hear my forgiveness of SimTitle2 and know my benevolence. Also, that any decisions issued while I was away are hardly my fault..."
★"Nothing says 'official pardon from death' like a scroll from the royal scribe table."

★Dance a Jig for SimTitle2

★Order SimTitle2 Thrown into the Pit
★When the tedium of running a kingdom began to wear on a ruler's spirit, he or she turned to the court jester for some comical relief. But how far would the ruler of TownName go for a break from the throne? When jesters got involved, the results were rarely predictable...
★Everyone loved court jesters, with their stupid hats and their dumb shoes. Hilarious. While the rest of the kingdom worked for a living, fools got to enjoy a life of games and frivolity. Though they held the lowest position at court, in a way they were lucky. Surely it was easier to prance and caper about than to be the one making the tough decisions, right?

★"I will duel this brigand and put her in her place!"
★"We'll do this together."
★"We should kill them while they are at their camps. Easy targets."
★"SimFirstName1, show this woman how we do things in TownName!"
★Aarbyville was a little too proud of its gangs of thugs. If their nation was not brought under the control of TownName, they could grow into a serious annoyance. The gangs could not be allowed to roam free! Aarbyville had to be conquered!
★While the clever SimTitle0 kept the Aarbyville gangs and diplomat distracted, SimTitle1 was able to put her poisons to good use. With the gang leaders dispatched and its diplomat beaten, Aarbyville quickly surrendered.A potential enemy nation was brought under control, and the kingdom of TownName grew ever closer to its destiny.
★Primary Hero:"  Monarch-------------------------------------Secondary Hero:"  Spy
★If this is going to succeed, we'll need to split our efforts. Both of the leaders of the gangs should be killed within a relatively short period of time. SimFirstName0 knows how to use a blade, so we should be able to upll this off if we get the jump on the gangs.
★A drop of this on our blades will ensure death for anyone who comes in contact with them. We should invite these gang leaders into the castle to deal with them.
★Extremely poisonous...
★Ugh...
★Well, surely you're aware that Aarbyville is full of gangs. By choice. Our entire political system revolves around the gangs and their leaders.
★I will gather information in the town, and report back on the situation.
★"You're right, we're in this together. Tell me when, and I'll be ready."
★A useful nugget of information...
★Inviting the leaders in will shroud us in the safety of the castle.
★Time to beat this woman to a pulp. I should refrain from killing her; someone will need to be alive to negotiate Aarbyville's surrender!
★Ever since scouts had been sent to Aarbyville, shady figures had been showing up outside the town. At first it was just a rogue bandit from time to time, but now full scouting parties were lurking over TownName's borders.Not long after the diplomat from Aarbyville arrived, gang members appeared and were moving freely through the city. No laws had been broken, yet, but the gang presence was too ominous to ignore. To end the Aarbyville problem before it could begin, drastic measures were required.
★SimFirstName0, this one is yours. Be sure not to kill her. We'll need someone alive to negotiate Aarbyville's surrender!
★Alright, so what's the plan.
★Time to see what SimFirstName0 has up her sleeve.
★What is the meaning of this?!
★Perhaps we can ambush the bandits when they're at their camps?
★I hope SimFirstName0's "specialized" skills will be of use.
★Got it, I'll have SimTitle0 call them out of hiding.
★How... How dare you!!
★It's as feared. I must speak with SimFirstName0 at once.
★We can strike without causing a commotion if the leaders are secluded in their camps.
★The gang leaders are the ones who really pull Aarbyville together. Without them, I don't even know... um... I think that smelly man from Crafthole wanted a chat. Perhaps another time, SimFirstName0?
★This appears to be a bandit camp...
★You... You treacherous monsters! You will pay for this! Have at thee!
★Success is only possible if we can somehow seperate the gangs.
★...soon boys, soon. This kingdom won't know what hit it.
★These are gang camps alright, and more organized than usual. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with quickly and discretely.
★Ladies, this town is just ripe for the taking.
★"Kill them both at nearly the same time? Sounds... easy... How do we start?"
★Argh...
★It seems we have a golden opportunity here. A surgical strike against both gang leaders could shake Aarbyville to its core, allowing us to take it by force.
★"I understand, you're better suited for this kind of work anyway. Let me know how I can help and I'll be there."
★Seems like a solid idea. Give me time to prepare, and then I'll get you when I'm ready.
★"It seems like the groups are heading back to their respective bases. We should choose this moment now to strike. Good luck, your majesty."
★Figured us out and decided to give up, eh? Very well. I'll bring the gang leaders here and we'll discuss the terms of your surrender.
★It will be more than a faux pas if we act without truly knowing the gang's intent. You try and find out information from the gang members themselves while I speak with Aarbyville's leader.
★This looks deadly...
★This could be a problem...
★You... You have bested me. Aarbyville bows to TownName.
★On my own, I'm going to be creative about how I deal with these gangs. Killing the leaders will be enough, I'll bet their guards flee if the leader is killed. I'll need to be subtle about one of the kills though. Word may spread if both leaders are killed violently. Poison may be the safest route.
★Well, this looks potent. Applies directly to the blade then?

★Aarbyville was a little too proud of its gangs of thugs. If their nation was not brought under the control of TownName, they could grow into a serious annoyance. The gangs could not be allowed to roam free! Aarbyville had to be conquered!
★While the clever SimTitle0 kept the Aarbyville gangs and diplomat distracted, SimTitle1 was able to wage a war on their nation that was practically unopposed. With her hired army pushing its way into the capital city, Aarbecue, the enemy quickly surrendered.A potential enemy nation was brought under control, and the kingdom of TownName grew ever closer to its destiny.
★Primary Hero:"  Monarch-------------------------------------Secondary Hero:"  Knight
★Disturbing, a camp so close to the town...
★Ah, success. Promising these sellswords a cut of Aarbyville's treasure seemed to do the trick in getting them to join, but I'll still need more troops.
★Ever since scouts had been sent to Aarbyville, shady figures had been showing up outside the town. At first it was just a rogue bandit from time to time, but now full scouting parties were lurking over TownName's borders.Not long after the diplomat from Aarbyville arrived, gang members appeared and were moving freely through the city. No laws had been broken, yet, but the gang presence was too ominous to ignore.
★At the mere mention of Aarbyville, that group immediately asked for a cut of the country's famous "meat trade". Not sure what that means, but if it gets them to help us...
★What!? Kings, retreat!
★How can this be!? Queens, run!
★The army is hired. Their leaders should be in town now, awaiting further command. I'll speak with SimTitle0 and tell her that I am prepared to conquer Aarbyville.
★Recent scouting of the nearby territory Aarbyville has come with some... unexpected consequences. A diplomat from Aarbyville has come to town to negotiate future relations with the kingdom, but two packs of thugs have followed in the wake. The diplomat seems less sincere about discussing politics than diplomats normally are, while the thugs have been roaming the town sizing up various buildings and locations. Something is going on here, and I need to investigate the true nature of these foreigners from Aarbyville.
★The gangs should have assembled by now. I'll meet with them in the Reception Hall.
★I can't wait to get my hands on all that... "meat".
★Good, my guards have been notified and will be on watch while I'm absent. I don't have the means to gather an army here, so I'll have to turn to sellswords: an army for hire. That means a trip abroad.
★Most distressing. I cannot wait for them to make their move -- it is time for a preemptive strike. These Aarbyville gangs should fall apart if we can take out the leaders.Let's use their scouting of our town to our advantage, and launch a secret counterattack while they're here. I'll keep the gangs preoccupied while you gather an army.
★Not much to see here, but I'm sure the gangs would want to convene someplace more private. I'll check near the cave next.
★This group looks like they joined merely for the potential bloodshed. Though, if the Monarch is right, there won't be as much bloodshed as they might hope for.
★That should be enough for the invasion. I'll sail back to TownName now.
★Gangs? Surely I don't know what you're speaking of.
★You fiend! They won't kill me, you two must flee!
★As I thought, the beginnings of a bandit camp.
★I hope SimTitle0 is having some luck...
★Forget about the paperwork. Get out there and patrol the town. I'll investigate the diplomat from Aarbyville.
★Oh my, I never meant to inconvenience your knight. It is Aarbyville custom to always seek out a dignified character within new towns with which to conduct some paperwork.
★Highly suspicious, but I should probably wait for SimFirstName0's report.
★Good. Tell the sellswords to march. I'll placate the leaders of the gangs a little longer before I reveal their predicament.
★By now the army is on their way to conquer Aarbyville, there's nothing these petty gang members can do. I'll just inform them of their fate.
★"Ah, erm, thank you... your majesty."
★Ah! Oh, erm, you mean SimFirstName0 and SimFirstName1? I'd hardly call them and their friends "gangs"... but yes, I'll summon them here so you can see for yourself.
★Something is definitely going on. The Aarbyville diplomat has been sending me formal request after formal request. All of the paperwork practically has me trapped in my own barracks!
★YARRRGH! Time to feel the hearts of the Aarbyville citizens pumping in our hands!
★Gem Knights! Let's move before all the treasure is claimed!
★Hmm, nothing here either... I should probably check the other entrances to the town as well.
★The troops are moving. I'll sail off at the docks and meet them in Aarbyville for the siege.
★"Ah yes, thank you.. for the invitation."
★Something is definitely going on. I must report back to SimTitle0.
★"Conquer is my middle name!"
★"I must save TownName!"
★"The forces are on the move. I'll take the boat to Aarbyville to begin preparations there."
★Conquer Aarbyville
★More sellswords should join for a promise of a cut of the bounty from Aarbyville.
★Travel to XXX to Hire Sellswords
★"First I'll give notice to my guards that I'll be leaving town soon. I'll encrypt it such that the enemy gangs can't intercept it."
★Send Letter at Messenger Post
★I'll need to take several trips to nearby nations to gain a sellsword army large enough to conquer Aarbyville.
★Travel to XXX to Hire Sellswords
★One more group of sellswords should create a fine enough army.
★Travel to XXX to Hire Sellswords
★I'll give SimTitle2 some time to get going, and then tell the diplomat from Aarbyville the situation.
★Wait 1 Hour to Tell SimTitle1 about Aarbyville's Impending Demise
★"That should be enough to get the gangs out of the town, hopefully long enough for SimTitle1 to gather some kind of army."
★Wait for Gangs to Arrive
★Perhaps Aarbyville's own tactics could be used against it. If the Monarch could keep the diplomat distracted without showing any suspicion, it might give TownName time to invade Aarbyville and end the invasion before it began!
★The cheese I am supposed to bring to the gang leader.
★Bag o' Cheese
★I've stuffed the meats into this bag to give to the leader.

★Aarbyville was a little too proud of its gangs of thugs. If their nation was not brought under the control of TownName, they could grow into a serious annoyance. The gangs could not be allowed to roam free! Aarbyville had to be conquered!
★With the castle paralyzed by politics, SimTitle0 was able to spring into action and prevent disaster. She was commended for truly taking matters into her own hands. With its gangs in complete disarray, Aarbyville quickly surrendered and SimFirstName0 moved the kingdom even closer to its destiny...TownName style.

★TownName style.
★You've done well! Reap your own rewards; sit back and relax with the guys. Who knows, maybe you'll even end up liking us.
★Oh, the gangs? Perhaps you've met the Rat Kings or the Queens of Heart already. Once they decide who gets which parts of the town, I expect you'll know them much more intimately.
★A perfect chance to read my poem.
★Already pledging yourself to the Queens? Wise move, young one. Maybe TOO wise. Prove to me your loyalty to Aarbyville and I'll welcome you like one of my own.
★I'll take this chance to peak in at the Queens of Heart's camp and see if I can learn anything more.
★I'll take this chance to peak in at the Rat King's camp and see if I can learn anything more.
★Alright, that takes care of the meat.
★You're pretty cute, you know, for being a commoner like the others in TownName. You'd probably make a killing in the 'meat' trade back home.
★I'll give all the goods to SimFirstName0.
★Something's going on here. They're planning something that involves the city, that's for sure. The Monarch's hands might be tied, but mine aren't. Perhaps the formal diplomat from Aarbyville will be more willing to shed some light on these gangs.
★Ah, look who's back. Pledging your fealty to me already? That's a wiser action from you than I would've thought, but I need proof from you that you're really dedicated to Aarbyville.

★This intel suggests that a gang will crumble if the views of their leader no longer coincide with the members. Perhaps if I can corrupt one of the gang's leaders, I can cause them to falter... and I know just how to do it.
★You've done well. Perhaps we'll have more use for you than just as a servant. Relax, get to know the girls.
★You're not too bad lookin', you know. If you put some effort into it, I bet you'd be almost as good looking as me.
★Perfect, they're already wasted. I imagine SimFirstName0 will be even more susceptible to my advances now.
★Whew...
★...and the throne room will be ours. Ah, shh, it looks like we have a guest.

★They're... they're all dead. Aarbyville will crumble without one of its infamous gang leaders, and I'll never be let back in after what I've done. You! SimFirstName0! You've got to help me!
★Hah! Did you hear that, boys? She said Aarbyville's lush landscape reminds her of my ripped body! Alright, you're in.
★You think I don't know something's going on? But what can I do without hard evidence? You may be able to help. Here, take this, look over it and see if you can come up with a plan. You might be the only one who can save TownName.
★Thank you, thank you.
★SimFirstName0! I trusted you!
★But, SimFirstName0, you know I would never...
★It's nothing personal, it's just business. SimTitle1 and I choose prime points of the target city, and then take it for our own. It's how we've always done it.
★First, we'll need some basic provisions to keep us in business here. The townspeople won't suspect anything is amiss if you get them for us. Meet us at the camp near the forest when you're done.

★TownName was in dangerous political territory. The kingdom's allies might grow nervous if they heard that foreign diplomats had been executed within her borders. Of course, there were other ways to deal with enemies. For example, someone could seduce a diplomat, gain a measure of emotional control, and then turn the foreigner against the other invaders.
★TownName Castle was hosting a diplomat from Aarbyville, but the Monarch could not ignore the sudden appearance of Aarbyville gang members on the outskirts of town. Was the diplomatic visit just a distraction? What were rival gangs from a foreign land doing in TownName?There was little the Monarch could do directly -- there was no real evidence of treachery yet. However, someone less... visible could investigate the situation on the Monarch's behalf.

★Questing for the mythical Fountain of Legend is not for the faint of heart, nor an easy task to complete. Until then, your heroes will just have to accept their flaws.
★Snipes are as rare as they are elusive. SimTitle0 was unable to find any trace of them within the cave.
★While SimTitle0 did not actually spot a snipe, the soft sounds of their scuttling and traces of their leavings left her encouraged for a few moments. That was until she forgot why she had entered the cave in the first place.
★"Is this vision the first step down the path of madness? I have to confide in someone."
★"After all this, SimTitle2 had better have some answer to my strange vision."
★"I seem to recall overhearing a tale of a magical fountain during my last trip to the village."
★"50 gold for a map to the fountain and avoiding a confrontation? ...Sold!"
★"Somehow I doubt the thief will be willing to part with the map if I just ask nicely."
★"Was that a dream? Am I dreaming? Only one way to be sure..."
★"Sure a magic talking fountain is intriguing, but nothing compares to well-played flatulence."
★"I get the feeling that fountain was judging me poorly, just like everyone else."
★"If people knew about this, I bet they would think I am not worthy enough to solve this mystery of the fountain."
★"I have been so distracted by the fountain's tasks, that I almost forgot how worthless most people probably find me."
★"With the dues paid I can get the pardon from the royal advisor."
★"The sooner this unfortunate business is over with, the quicker I can get some answers on my crazy."
★"One innocent in exchange for another? Sometimes I am not sure how SimTitle2 lives with herself."

★"With my luck that fountain is a bad omen. Time to use my last lesser luck potion."
★"I have a bad feeling about this fountain business. If I am to continue, I will need a fresh supply of liquid luck. Sometimes the village shoppe has a surplus, but probably not when I need them."
★"I think that either these luck potions are becoming less effective with every use, or this mysterious fountain is causing it."
★"My perpetual ailments must be worsening, because now I am having feverish dreams of fountains!"

★"I bet I can go long enough without making a wager."
★"While I don't really find my incredible confidence a flaw, I need to prove my 'hubris' to get back to that fountain."
★"I always feel lonesome, but never more so than when I do not speak to anyone for a while, or clean my empty home in solitude."
★"To get better, I have to deal with people? ...not sure it's worth it."
★"I must become depressed to get better? I don't know if I ever want to be in a state where I'm not mourning my loss at the unforgiving sea."

No, never mind, it is none of my business, nor do I care. I just work here.I will just need to ink your name on the royal documents waiting at my scribe table.
★You treacherous brute! You may have won this round, but a lot of good that will do you& the only item I got was some incomprehensible map, and now it is yours. Enjoy your ill-gotten gains, SimTitle0.
★What business is it of yours, SimTitle0? Perhaps I lightened that arrogant foreigner's pouches a bit, and perhaps I did not. Either way, I certainly have no intention of handing anything over to you, just because you asked& certainly not for free.
★A pleasure doing business with you, SimTitle0. Hope you enjoy your new, incomprehensible map. Find me later and I may have a fresh supply of magic beans for sale...Hahah!
★I know the saying 'You win some, you lose some' is supposed to be comforting to some. But I must confess, I much prefer winning!
★SimTitle0 poured through pages heavy with script for any definitive information on the location of the legendary fountain. Toward the end of the text, she found an entry penned by the author's son referencing a hidden grove on a majestic mountain and a series of trials. However, the brief record was partially coded in the ancient Peteran dialect of Peterick.More research would be required to decipher the notation.
★Ahh. After a good fight, everything else seems a bit muted.
★I am not surprised the bookshelf has no titles referencing legends of a fountain. Fictional stories by nature do not have much practical use.The story is a popular one in the village and the shoppe there is always getting items from wandering travelers. That may be a better place for me to look for anything that will illuminate my vision.
★Haha...stupid, naive children. Their tears are like liquid gold.
★Well, uh, SimTitle0, I've always thought of you as perfectly adequate.
★I will say you've always seemed to be a decent listener, SimTitle0.
★You sure are slightly taller than average, SimTitle0.
★WHY?!  Blind you, Watcher! Why did you have to take them...in the prime of their... <sniff>. I cannot go on! I AM SHATTERED!
★The gloom of the forest suddenly disappeared, as SimTitle0 stumbled into a bright clearing ringed by ancient trees. In the center of glade, amid soft grass and wildflowers, stood an ancient fountain, bubbling with sparkling clear water.As SimTitle0 gazed in awe, a familiar ethereal voice echoed throughout the meadow& You have passed the first trial in finding me, SimTitle0. However, that is something anyone with enough determination can accomplish.  Before you can be remade, a test of both your devotion and your need must be conducted. First, to prove your commitment, you must bring me a suitable offering of the finest wine&
★The forest gloom gave way to a bright clearing ringed by ancient trees. In the center of glade, amid soft grass and wildflowers, stood an ancient fountain, bubbling with sparkling clear water.As SimTitle0 gazed in awe, a familiar ethereal voice echoed throughout the meadow: You have passed the first trial in finding me, SimTitle0. However, that is something anyone with enough determination or a map can accomplish.  Before you can be remade, your devotion and need must be tested. Take a small portion of my essence with you. Add it to the water of TownName and listen for your next trial.
★Ahhh....that <hic> hit the spot, indeed.
★Official orders to release a prisoner, huh? Well, who am I to argue with SimTitle1. I will take that pardon off your hands, and the constable will be along shortly to open the stocks.
★Fresh meat for the stocks, aye? One moment and the constable will be here to escort you up the hill.
★The fable, while an entertaining read, did not provide much in the way of details on how to locate the fountain itself. A large portion of the story seems to be missing, and the remaining tale appeared authored in several different voices.
★Haha...pull my finger...a classic. And they went for it! SimFirstName0, you have done it again!
★Nice pit beast....good pit beast. Remember who fed you when you go on your eventual rampage of death.
★With the fees paid, I should be able to pick up an official pardon from SimTitle1.
★Faint at first, the ethereal voice of the Fountain resonated deep from within the now-sparkling well to provide SimTitle0's next trial, that of devotion. Your determination has been proven, SimTitle0. Now your commitment to change must be weighed. Sacrifice that which you hold most dear as an offering to this well and you shall be closer still to perfection.
★Hail, SimTitle0. A strange voice and an image of a fountain? It sounds as if you've been selected for a personal quest. I don't know how I can help, and truthfully am much too busy to go chasing dreams.I've always found benefit from delving into the past, so my advice is to learn more through study. Luck be with you.
★"Ahhh...these dark, murky depths are my only escape from all those meddlesome people."
★SimTitle0 found her thoughts drifting to her favorite subject: herself! It was hard to concentrate on the mundane when one was so obviously extraordinary...Then a vision appeared so brilliantly that SimTitle0 actually forgot about herself for two seconds. That was long enough for SimFirstName0 to glimpse an ancient fountain sparkling with life somewhere in a forgotten glade...
★A red haze settled over SimTitle0's eyes as she thought of the duties that would take her out amongst the innocents. Try as she might, the dark thoughts of carnage could not be suppressed...That was until a sudden brilliant vision appeared of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away any thoughts of finding blood to spill...
★SimTitle0 enjoyed a good scratch in her favorite spot. It was a great way to sharpen the nails before picking her teeth.Suddenly, a vision appeared before SimTitle0 so vividly that she belched in shock! She saw an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, beckoning her.
★SimTitle0 tried to suppress an involuntary shudder. The idea of venturing outside the safety of her well-lit home always set her nerves on edge.Suddenly a brilliant vision appeared to her eyes of an ancient fountain sparkling somewhere in a forgotten glade. It was beautiful and inviting, but it still nearly gave SimTitle0 a heart attack. Just as quickly as it had appeared, the vision was gone...
★A malicious look crept inadvertently onto SimTitle0's face as she thought of all the happy do-gooders plaguing TownName. Someone should take them down a peg or two, and SimTitle0 delighted in thinking of the many ways to undermine their altruism...When suddenly, a brilliant vision appeared of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily purging the happy thoughts of knocking down the elderly or stealing sweets from a gleeful child.
★SimTitle0 could not shake the feeling of impending doom. Thinking back, she was sure that all the rituals had been observed today: exiting on the right side of the bed, washing up three times...Yet still the feeling of being watched lingered...Suddenly SimFirstName0 was struck by a brilliant vision of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily erasing any thoughts of keeping a safe distance from mirrors or warding off the Evil Eye.
★The day, like those before it, was a groggy haze to SimTitle0. The bright sunlight pierced her eyes painfully; constant hand shaking made even the simplest of tasks a challenge. The only clear thought was when her next drink would be...That was until a brilliant vision appeared of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, and momentarily washed away any urge to drain the nearest cask.
★SimTitle0 looked around, suddenly confused. The task she had just been contemplating was now forgotten. Standing there, mouth agape, SimTitle0 was blissfully unaware of anything; including the trace of drool streaming down her chin...That was until a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, and momentarily cleared away the perpetual fog of senselessness from SimTitle0's mind.
★The soft jingling of coins caught SimTitle0's ears and she immediately began to conjure ways to expand her own wealth. Dice, cards, and a dozen other risky but thrilling ways to get rich filled her head.The spell was broken by a sudden vision of an ancient fountain sparkling somewhere in a forgotten glade. It was gone in a flash, but the image was so vivid that for a second SimTitle0 almost felt like she was there...
★The vision of the Fountain returned unbidden to SimTitle0, accompanied now by a soothing, ethereal voice: Poor broken soul, your torture has been endured too long. If your desire to be cleansed is true, and your heart is equal to the task, come seek me out. For I will remake you; I have such power. You can be better, purer, stronger& "The prophecy faded as quickly as it came, leaving SimTitle0 wondering what it meant.
★Wiping away crumbs, SimTitle0 could not ignore the gnawing hunger in the pit of her stomach, nor the thoughts of a full platter of perfectly grilled meat...That was until a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away any desires to locate a fully stocked larder.
★SimTitle0 berated herself for the hundredth time that day. Nothing she did seemed to work out. It was often a surprise that no one else noticed how worthless SimTitle0 truly was, but perhaps it was due to how hard she worked for their undeserved approval.Suddenly a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily erasing the many thoughts of how to trick TownName into thinking that she was worthwhile.
★Another yawn briefly broke the perpetual stupor SimTitle0 existed in. Sleep was an ability taken for granted by most, but entirely elusive to SimTitle0. She lived constantly wrapped in a numb haze somewhere between waking and dozing, where nothing felt quite real...That was until a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily stealing away her lethargy&
★Subtle at first, a fire began to spread from somewhere deep inside SimTitle0. Thoughts of the day's tasks were quickly replaced by the irresistible images of smooth, bare skin and the sensation of phantom caresses...That was until a brilliant vision appeared of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away any desires to stock her bed with a nice, warm body.
★A wave of disgust rolled over SimTitle0 as she found herself unable to block out the yammering sounds of the people of TownName going about their daily lives...That was until a brilliant vision appeared of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away any plans to escape the overly populated TownName and never look back.
★Black despair engulfed SimTitle0, a depressing presence lurking at the back of her mind. Why go on? Why even bother?Suddenly a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away the haunting feeling brought on by the bleak futility of life.
★SimTitle0 panted, exhausted by the simple tasks of preparing for the day, like making the bed and donning clothes. While the thought of a nice warm bath was appealing, the aching that came from lifting a heavy water bucket instantly ruled out that activity...Suddenly a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily easing the tremors of her frail limbs.
★Futilely trying to stifle a violent fit of sneezing, SimTitle0 could barely stand to leave bed for the simplest of tasks. Even a walk outside had her gasping for breath, and the fragrant air only brought pollen to torment the sinuses.That was until a brilliant vision appeared, of an ancient fountain sparkling in a forgotten glade, momentarily washing away any desires to drown the aches and pains in a deluge of medicine.
★Thanks, I surely needed that! And you were not half bad. Wait...what was your name again?
★Ugh, that draught has a wicked aftertaste, but at least it should stave off my curse for a short time.
★That should stave off my hex for a short time.
★Always a pleasure doing business with you, SimTitle0. Enjoy the elixir; it looks like you sorely need it.
★Nom nom nom...
★Not much good...<yawn>...a nap does, if you wake up feeling more run down than before you took it...
★SimTitle0 dropped the offering into the well. A sudden flash of golden light momentarily lit the dark, watery depths."Your offering is acceptable. Your next trial is one of need. Return to me with proof that you are indeed a flawed creation and you shall be one step closer to perfection.
★SimTitle0 entered the grove bearing her offering, finding the fountain just as it was left. The voice sounded again& Place your offering on the water's edge. SimTitle0 did as she was instructed and cried out in surprise as a blinding flash of light infused the meadow. When her vision returned the gift was gone. Your offering is acceptable. Thy next trial is one of need. Return to me with proof that thou art indeed a flawed creation and you shall be one step closer to perfection.
★So good once it hits the lips; that is indeed a good batch. As for the Fountain's offering...one for the well, and one more for me.
★As SimTitle0 arrived on the hill that housed the gruesome implements of the kingdom's justice, she noticed several unfamiliar figures miserably imprisoned in the stocks. Upon a closer inspection, SimTitle0 recognized the figure from the peasant's earlier description. A sudden flare of pain reminded her that their continued well-being was her only chance to figure out the vision...
★I cannot just let SimTitle1 run free, despite your standing in TownName, SimTitle0. She violated our laws and justice must be served, otherwise the kingdom will descend into lawlessness.However, if "someone" would be willing to take her place in the stocks or cover the fine, only then can I authorize her proper release.
★Thank you for all you have done, SimTitle0. As I was entering TownName, a shadowy figure held me up, though I did not possess any coin. When the constable came, the thief claimed I was the culprit and disappeared into the crowd. Next thing I knew, I was being marched to the stocks.As a reward for your service I would like to give you an old map that has served me well, however that bandit made off toward the graveyard with it. If you can retrieve it, it just might provide you with the answers you seek.
★"Nothing better than going on an incredible mind adventure...that's where I'm a pirate!"
★The fountain seemed to splash more merrily as the satisfaction of ethereal voice echoed softly across the glade and with SimTitle0's mind: Thou chose wisely.
★ Thou answered poorly. Suddenly, the world about SimTitle0 darkened to pitch. A sensation of falling was accompanied by the shrieking of terrible storm.SimTitle0 awoke on the edge of TownName from a terrible dream of which she could not fully recall.
★Ooo, you wily little unseen beasties! I'll catch you one day, and then...you shall be CAUGHT! Ha HA!
★Ahhh...I feel restored. I should hurry up on this quest while I'm physically able.
★That is quite a story, SimTitle0, but I am sorry, I try not to meddle in portents and visions. However, that bit about the fountain& I've recently heard a fable going around town of a sparkling fountain granting the wishes of a lost farmer...or was it a wandering monk and a pond of ever-lasting youth?Mayhaps you should locate one of them&
★The Fountain's essence is infused into TownName's water. Now how do I commune with it for my next trial from here?
★Ahhh...that was exactly what I needed. Now to collect a souvenir of my conquest to send down the well.
★"Why would anyone want me to go on a quest?"
★"It is tough being superior to everyone...but I manage."
★"The streets will run red with blood!"
★"Sure a magic fountain is interesting, but so is pulling my finger."
★"Impossible odds? Care to make a wager on that?!"
★"S-S-sometimes I even s-scare myself."
★"Woe onto anyone who stands in my way, or even those who don't."
★"What's the point, when I'm already doomed to fail?"
★"I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"
★"A fountain? A mountain. I'm countin' on a routin'."
★"There's a meal in this for me if I help, right?"
★"All this bother better be worth it."
★"I need something to quench my burning loins."
★"I'll go as long as I don't have to deal with other people."
★"No heavy-lifting or physical exertion involved, is there?"
★"You can count on... Zzzzz..."
★"I'm not sure I'm well enough to undertake this quest."
★"No time to quest, when there's some much work to be done around here."
★"There is an easy way and a hard way to go about this. And I am fresh out of easy!"

★"That was a strange and striking image, but I should focus on true beauty."
★"Is my hair groomed properly? Are my clothes suitably impressive? To think I ventured around TownName without being sure!"
★"It's been a while since I checked last. I need to see if I still got it."
★"I'm feeling pretty lucky after all this fountain business. Now is the perfect time to go all in."
★"Research and study? I suppose that means I have some reading ahead of me. Best start by perusing some bookshelves."
★"Give up what I hold most dear? I already sacrifice my solitude daily. But next to hiding in the cave, stowing away in the ship's hold is my only other escape. Now I can't even have that."
★"My prized possession? Well obviously that is Sir Teddy the Brave...Wait! Where did he go?! I never leave the house without him...

★The Monarch was the only one who could keep the Dire Chinchillas from rolling over TownName like a tidal wave of teeth and claws. Now, disaster was inevitable. The monsters would take over. In a few years, the few surviving people of TownName would all be speaking Chinchillese.
★With the help of a mysterious new friend, SimTitle0 had done the impossible. She stared a colony of Dire Chinchillas in their glowing, soulless eyes, and lived to tell the tale. SimTitle0 protected her people from the monsters, saving TownName from a horrible fate.

★You might not like my methods, SimTitle0, but you can't argue with my results. Look at me! I'm still alive!BWAH-HAH-HAAAAAAA!!!
★Oh, okay. I just thought a little more context would help you enjoy...Well, nevermind. You know, you look a little too lithe to wear this armor. I have a special cloak though... a relic from the past. It will suit you finer than any suit of armor will.
★I need prepare myself before I even attempt to take on these beasts hand to hand.
★What's that supposed to mean?
★I need to perpapre for the final fights. I will crash against the shores of the furry horde until I succeed.. or fall trying.
★I can't believe the viciousness of these creatures. I need to hone my skills before I even try to take out these beasts.
★Is it my fate to fight these beasts for the rest of eternity? A struggle for all ages?
★This task may have been more than I bargained for, but I have successfully defeated the beasts and taken their fur.
★You may have some combat skill, but that means nothing when you're alone in the dark in THEIR territory.
★Terrible, horrifying beasts. I need to practice my skills and prepare for the battle ahead, or this fur hunt could be my last.
★More dedication is required to remove this threat. I must conitnue my training.
★Sloppy footwork! The Chinchillas would be all over you. Your form is what needs work. Luckily, I've worked something out beforehand... Constable! Arrest this woman!
★I feel ready to try again. If I can do anything else to improve my mindset before going into the fray once more, I should do it.
★SimTitle0 surveyed SimFirstName1 and shook his head sadly. To the bullied woman he said, "Look at you, you bloody fool. You thought I was so bad? Well how did those chinchillas treat you?!"His tone softened and he smiled. "Ah, hell, ol' SimFirstName0 woulda done the same thing when he was your age. While you were off on your little adventure, I recovered my special suit of chinchilla-slaying armor with neck protection. If you want to wear it in TownName's name, you must prove you're ready."Stabbing a finger at the Pit of Judgement, SimTitle0 bellowed, "Jump in that pit! I believe in you, SimFirstName1!!"
★Well he certainly is a... colorful character. Strange or not, I need help from someone experienced. I have no idea how to tackle so many beasts.
★Aha! Killed the little beasties on my first try. Now the guards will be warm, and stylish!
★Defeat after defeat after defeat. I will be driven mad if I cannot triumph over the beasts soon.
★That's the spirit, girlie! While training is important, it's also important to be well-equipped. When I heard about this infestation, I sent off for my suit of chinchilla-slaying armor with special neck protection. To earn it, you must prove to me you're ready.Jump in that pit! I believe in you, SimFirstName0!!
★Now don't go jumping in that pit like I did--odds are you'd be chewed up and spit out. You're not ready. Not yet. First I need to test your combat abilities. Come at me!
★The guards have been complaining recently of cold air biting through their armor during the night. A fur lining would fix that.
★Those little monsters have a vicious streak a mile wide!
★Don't get ahead of yourself, girlie. You're nowhere near ready to take on one of those things. Watch and learn what you'll need to fight these monsters.
★I'm done with this old man. I'll fight the chinchillas on my own.
★This task has forever marked me in Chinchilla wounds, but the deed is finally done.
★Good. I won't take up much of your time, but maybe it will help you understand.
★There were wounds along the way, but I have triumphed over the Dire Chinchillas!
★Maybe if I continue my training, I will become skilled enough to take on the Chinchillas.
★I cannot abide by this many defeats. There must be some way for me to defeat these monstrosities.
★Oh, okay. I just thought a little more context would help you enjoy...Well, nevermind. The armor is yours. Wear it proudly and slay every last one of those monsters.
★It may have been difficult, but my steady determination and training has led me to this victory. The guards will be warm, and look great doing it.
★There, I feel a little more prepared to take on those monsters, but I should really do whatever I can to improve my focus before I attempt to fight these beasts.
★Ah yes, the armor. Would you care to learn about the origins of this armor before you do righteous battle with the beasts of the forest?
★Finally the beasts lay slain. Their fur is mine. I only hope that this nightmarish experience doesn't haunt me for the rest of my life.
★This has been the fight of my life, but I have finally crushed the little animals in my gauntlet. My guards will have their fur, and I will finally have my peace.
★I can't believe the viciousness of these creatures.
★A group of Dire Chinchillas have been residing in the nearby forest for some days now. They need to be handled from a safety perspective, as well as the prospect for mass amounts of valuable fur.
★That wasn't so hard, I showed those Chinchillas what a true spy can do.
★I've had to many of my quests spoiled by inadequate gear. I need a material to soften my steps, wipe down fingerprints, and quiet the voices of my targets.
★As Monarch, I have a duty to help rid these creatures in any way I can. I shoudl take to the forest and scout out the Chinchilla situation before I attempt to harvest the little monsters.
★The monsters brough me down again. At first it's just one or two, then suddenly hundreds.
★How can I possibly kill these little monsters?
★And now, SimTitle1, I pass the mantle on to you. I bestow upon you my armor and the title of 'Chinchilla-slayer'.Now go, and kill every last one of them!
★These wounds are beginning to catch up to me. I need more rest than ever to keep fighting these pint sized monstrosities.
★I'm ready to continue my training. What's next?
★I'll need to sleep off this wound, or else the next Fur Hunt could be my last.
★I should ask him for the armor before I head into the forest once more.
★Finally, I'm ready to take on the massive Chinchilla horde.
★My final training must begin. Only then will I be able to destroy these monsters forever.
★Nothing can stand against my blade! Time to show those Chinchilla who's boss!
★Several hours of training. I have to be able to conquer the Chinchillas now.
★Against all odds, I've defeated the beasts and collected a massive wealth of fur for the people!
★I can't believe I won! Now where's my armor?
★There, I have prepared my body and mind for another encounter.
★*Pant* *Pant* Stick with me kid, and you'll be doing that in no time. Now let's talk training.
★It just so happens that a group of Dire Chinchillas have moved into the forest nearby and need to be dealt with. I should scout of the forest before I attempt to hunt them for their fur.
★Your best chance for survival is to form a stance just like this one. Low to the ground. Dire Chinchilla teeth are made for opening their prey's necks. In this stance, you'll be less likely to lose your head.
★I have mastered my craft. Nothing can stand in my way now.
★Alright kid, don't get cocky. The beast is one thing, but Chinchillas are an entirely different monster. I'll meet you at the forest. You're ready now.
★That beast always did give me the chills. I should speak with SimTitle0.
★Dire Chinchillas -- the bane of any developing nation. They came, they ate, they destroyed.This time it would have to be different. It was the Monarch's duty to prevent the savage little critters from stripping the flesh from TownName's bones. "Time for some furry justice," she said.
★I need to relax and hone my skills again. If I keep my eyes on the prize, their fur will be mine.
★It has been the fight of my life, and I shall forever be plagued by nightmares of these horrible creatures. However, good has triumphed over evil and the little beasts have been slain.
★They certainly don't call them Dire for nothing, but the beasts have been beaten and the fur is mine.
★They died driving away the herd. I survived.That day I vowed to become a Chinchilla-slayer, to rid the world of every last one of the fiends. I learned from the greatest fighters in the world and invented my own anti-chinchilla fighting form. I forged this armor as a symbol to strike fear into their little hearts. I did these things so that no other child would grow up without his parents.
★I can't even imagine all the bite sized scars that are going to cover my body. I have to enter the horror zone until these beasts are defeated!
★Horrifying.. horrible creatures. Those are the most foul, cruel and bad tempered rodents I've ever set my eyes on.
★A good hunter always scouts out the situation before jumping in.
★I grew up not too far from here, actually. I was a shy little boy, but had loving parents and the support of a caring and peaceful village. That was, before the 'chillas came...
★Ah, so the rumors are true then? The monsters of the old world have come back? This is dire news. If you intend to stop these beasts from ravaging your town, you'll need my help. I noticed you have a pit beast in the center of town. Meet me there...
★Nope
★This defeat shames me. How can I ever triumph over these monsters?
★This task has worn me down greatly, but I did not give up hope and triumphed in the end. The guards will have their fur, and I will have my peace.
★If I can just hone my skills a little more, perhaps I can defeat them.
★Defeated yet again? These creatures are unfathomable in their horror.
★This ordeal has pushed my body and mind to the brink, but at the brink I have triumphed. The Dire Chinchillas have been destroyed, and I have my bounty of fur... but was it worth it?
★I never imagined how fierce these minute mongrels could be! I'm lucky to have made it out with my life!! Maybe I spoke too soon about the old man...
★By The Watcher, I never imagined so many of the cursed rodents. They looked so... evil. I'll need help if I'm to remove them from the kingdom.
★Stay low, stay quiet, strike fast, and you may just make it through this. Constable! We're through here.
★It may have been a trying task, but I've defeated the monsters and taken their furry prize.
★Terrible, horrifying beasts. Only my Spy training kept me clinging to life while enduring that onslaught.
★It was night when they came. We heard sounds... short screams that would suddenly halt in a wet gurgle. My father guessed that they liked to go for the throat.Then we heard them outside our own hut.
★A group of Dire Chinchillas has moved into the forest nearby and their fur should do the trick. I should scout out the forest first before I begin the attack.
★This hunt nearly took the life of me. It will take longer to sleep off the wounds this time.
★You know, SimTitle0, you're a little too lithe for the Chinchilla armor I have...I have a different set though, something that will suit you a little better. It's an old relic, but I think it will fit you nicely...
★It has been a trying task for me, but I have finally defeated the Dire Chinchillas.
★I don't know how much more of this I can take, well, once more into the fray.
★They've got huge sharp... they can leap about... LOOK AT THE BONES!
★There! Now I should be ready to take on those varmints!
★Hah, good! That beast must've taken more out of me than I thought. But your form still needs work. Luckily, I've worked something out beforehand... Constable! Arrest this woman!
★My father was no hunter, but when forced to protect his family he became something different. He fought hard, ending several of the little beasts and never giving up even as they killed him. Mother used her body to shield me from a hurricane of tiny teeth and claws.
★There it is. My skills are like the razor's edge. Time to show those monsters a thing or two.
★This is it. It's now or never.
★If you think your size or your speed can save you from their razor sharp fangs, you're wrong. Dead wrong.

★"Dire Chinchillas have moved into the forest near town. I don't want the cute little Chinchillas to get hurt!"
★"I know the perfect snack for the Dire Chinchillas: those hunters!"
★They won't listen, don't believe me. I need to find someone they will believe. Their lives depends on it.
★Sending those hunters into the forest will be like killing two birds with one stone. I need to ensure that the chinchillas will find them savory enough, and I have just the idea how.
★Their fill of meat, huh? Perhaps I can find a way to feed the chinchillas to get them to leave our town unharmed.
★These oafs have no clue what they're up against. They know not the horrors that await them in the forest. They're clearly going to ignore me, so I need to find someone they will listen to.
★They're all dead. 100% casualties chief.
★Haha! Sorry about the lack of warning there, kid. Get enough human "essence" in that stew and I think it will smell like human in no time.
★Alright, now I just need to find this hunter.
★Ah, that's perfect m'girl. Why are you so interested in those devilish balls of fur anyway?
★A group of hunters had arrived in town to destroy small animals in the forest. They claimed it was some kind of "mission," that it was for the "greater good." They worried that the animals had "blood madness" and enjoyed "eating children."These poor animals were barely larger than a plague rat. SimTitle0 could not abide their slaughter. She would have to take action...
★There has been a call to the townspeople to dispatch a group of Dire Chinchillas that have moved into the neighboring forest.
★This truly rates as one of the worst days of all time. All this "essence" is really making the boar stew smell human enough, though. Time to deal with the chinchillas.
★This truly rates as one of the worst days of all time. All this "essence" is really making the boar stew smell human enough, though. Time to deal with the hunters.
★You're right to worry for your townsfolk, young one, but a pack of Dire Chinchillas will not leave until they have had their fill of fresh meat. Trust me on this one... I know...
★Time to scout for the chinchillas once more.
★Few people have seen these creatures; they're extremely rare. I must try and save them before they're all hunted down and turned into Kingball jerseys!
★Well, hey there cupcake! You come out here to cheer us on?
★Dire Chinchillas are legendary for their beautiful fur, and several fur traders have moved into town in anticipation of the wealth of fur soon to be had.
★The phrase is "You March Towards the Hunter's Rest".
★Most importantly of all, the Chinchillas are safe from harm.. and so are the townspeople.
★Interested, are you? Turns out this here forest has a nasty gang of Dire Chinchillas movin' into it. Ever heard of the little beasts?They were a real nuisance in the days of old, and have recently started showing themselves again. We've never even seem them ourselves.
★You're worried about the creatures?! Do you have the madness disease? I can guarantee that pack of babies calling themselves hunters pose no threat to them.Dire Chinchillas only leave once they've had their fill of meat. Believe me, I know...
★Thank The Watcher, this hunter is listening to reason. He has told me a secret phrase from the hunter's guild to tell the hunters. This phrase has secret meaning: that their intended target is beyond their ability.
★The hunters would not listen to my warning before, and they know not what they face in the woods. The Chinchillas will be fine, and the hunters will be dealt with.
★These creatures are... terrifying. Still, I can't let harm come to them and now I'm equally worried about the townspeople's well-being.
★The townsfolk inform me that there is a group of hunters hell-bent on capturing the Dire Chinchillas. They're coming to the forest now. I must do whatever I can to stop them.
★Their favorite meat? Ahh, that'd be you and me, girlie. In lieu of fresh townie-meat, they'd probably fancy a juicy boar.
★No, no, this will never do. It doesn't smell human enough! Perhaps if you infused it with some essence of human, they'd fall for it. I've got a plan for that.
★I need to find a hunter who has seen these beasts in person. Only they can convince these fools that they are only hunting their own demise.
★Luckily I didn't run into any of the monsters while out there, though it always felt like little beady eyes were boring into my head. I'll just be happy to know they're miles away from here.
★WHAT?! You've seen them? The beasts of Burdley? The terrors of Tredony? The... Dire Chinchillas? How are you still standing if you saw them with your own eyes? Dear girl, I can barely stop shaking when discussing them. Get this old man some booze, quickly!
★Will this really tempt the chinchillas? I should check with SimTitle0 to make sure this will cut it.
★If I cook enough meat, perhaps I can fill the little beasts' stomachs without any loss of life....minus the animals that died for the meat, I guess.
★Thank the Watcher, they believe me. I don't know what those words mean, but I'm thankful for them. The hunters are going to set up a post here, to warn other hunters of the danger.
★For us? You shouldn't have, sweet thing. Wow, this smell great. Tastes great too! It's good you caught us, we were just about to head out to slay those nasty creatures. Toodles.
★Well now, this little lady looks like she's seen a ghost. Leave the forest to us hunters, please.
★Must stop hunting party.
★Hopefully that man will be able to help me save the chinchillas and those hunters from killing each other.
★Well, besides that group in the forest, there was another hunter who came to town, spouting some nonsense about super rodents in the forest or something. He was at the throne room last I heard.
★"Fur is Murder! Furder!"
★"If all goes according to plan, the chinchillas will leave safely."
★Set Boar Stews at Forest
★"Dire Chinchillas? Those sound adorable! Maybe I can scare the little cuties off before these hunters hack them to pieces."
★"Time to discover the fate of the hunters..."
★"If I'm quiet enough, I can scout out the chinchillas' movement and see how many there are in the colony."
★Scare Chinchillas at Forest
★Scout Chinchillas at Forest
★Get a Drink from a Cask
★I should leave from the forest to see the Dire Chinchilla. Perhaps I can scare them away from here and they won't be hunted.
★Scare Chinchillas at the Forest
★I should speak to an elder hunter and tell him of my plight.
★Chat to Elder Hunter
★Serve Drink to SimTitle1 from Cask
★"I'll wait around and then check on the hunters."
★Wait for String0
★Yes, a dire chinchilla would attack you in the throat, given the chance. And yes, they WOULD usually track your scent back to your home to kill your family... But that didn't give the people of TownName the right to kill the poor little critters!
★All the money I made off selling the chinchillas will have to go to the hunters.
★All the money I made to pay off the hunters.
★Money for the Hunters
★The traps I intend to lay in the forest for the Dire Chinchillas.
★Bag o' Traps
★A Chinchilla caught from one of my traps.
★A Dire Chinchilla and its recently born offspring.
★A Dire Chinchilla
★Two Dire Chinchillas
★The Blacksmith was the only one who could keep the Dire Chinchillas from rolling over TownName like a tidal wave of teeth and claws. Now, disaster was inevitable. The monsters would take over. In a few years, the few surviving people of TownName would all be speaking Chinchillese.
★Surprisingly, trapping the actual Chinchillas had been the easiest part! Figuring out what to do with them afterwards was a challenge, and dealing with the guild of hunters had been worst of all!Oh well. At least SimTitle0 had a solution ready to go if the Dire Chinchillas ever rose up again.
