★"I like the one with the frog remains."
★"Who doesn't love a nice glass of mulled wine and a self-staring contest?"
★Drawing a long, slow breath, SimTitle1 looked untroubled for the first time in days. With a growing smile she said toSimFirstName0, I think you've done it. I feel& luckier. Who would have thought that crazy remedy would actually work? Doctor, I cannot thank you enough! Now that the hex is gone, I'm ready to return to the clinic."
★I cannot choose. My luck is too bad to guess correctly! You must be the one to decide the best remedy, and soon! I fear that our doom is nigh. Help me, SimTitle0, you are my only hope!
★There's a bad omen over the clinic. And we are cursed for working here! We've seen so much death, so much blood! I don't know if I can stay there...
★Ay, I have traveled far and wide in my day. But a word of advice to you... if you want to know of old wives' tales, go and find yerself an old wife! I'm a lot of things: a drunk, a cheater, a drunk, but I'm no gossiping crone. Now where's my next ale?
★Another glorious day of health care awaited SimTitle0. Every moment wasted outside the Clinic, was a minor battle lost in the war against sickness and injury. With a strange satisfaction, SimTitle0 said: Better get started, and see what's on the agenda today. My patients won't go healing themselves.
★The clinic was in complete disarray. None of the day's tonics or poultices had been prepared, no patients had been entered into the clinic's log, and the examining room floor had yet to be sanitized. Ordinarily SimTitle1 would have finished all of these jobs before SimTitle0 started her shift."This is unlike her," muttered SimFirstName0, "I'd better ask her what's going on."
★SimTitle1 moaned. It was the sound of a defeated woman. She said, It doesn't matter. I've already tried everything: egg yolk under my bed at night, walking backwards through doors, carrying a pinch of sagewort in my pocket& Nothing works! I am so jinxed. SimTitle0 nodded sympathetically. If I can find the counter curse that will remove the bad luck, will you return to work? A tiny spark of hope flashed across SimTitle1's face. Quietly, she said, Yes, SimTitle0. Do you really think you can?
★ I CAN'T DO IT! This place is cursed! Portents of doom are everywhere. DOOOOOOOOM!!
★She seems reluctant, but at least she's returning to work. The clinic needs its nurse -- there is much to be done.
★Now that SimTitle1 is back to work and attending to the daily chores, I can concentrate on catching up on my medicine crafting.
★Interesting. Each has her own variation, but the core idea seems to be: Drink hypocras wine; go to the accursed house; burn a bushel of grassweed; and while wearing fresh linens, gaze into a mirror until the curse is gone.
★Hours of research yielded little result. The problem with superstition was that by its very nature it was not based in measurable fact. Not like medicine at all. Most of the suggestions for dispelling a curse were either maddeningly vague or so bizarrely specific that they just couldn't be applied.There was one, small hope, buried in the pages of fables and hollow traditions. A simple recipe, guaranteed to remove any curse, had been detailed by an enterprising young warlock almost three-thousand years ago. Would it remove SimTitle1's curse? It sounded like it would, and that was really enough, wasn't it?Here's what the recipe said: "Catch a fresh-water toad, boil it in water, rub the concoction on the cursed person, and then throw the remains into the sea. As the tide washes away the remains, so will the curse be cleansed.
★Well, SimTitle0, I'm sure a professional such as yourself can appreciate that I am on official business. I know many stories, but I cannot just blab them to any passing ear! Not on duty!I would try asking some of the women from town, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to share their folk remedies.
★"I know this whole fake witch performance is just a big act, but I admit to being a little excited to watch the show. Who knew fictional curses could be so entertaining?"
★Travel to the Clinic's Garden for the Curse Removal
★Dispose of Frog Parts at a well
★Primary Hero:" Physician-------------------------------------Supporting Role:" Nurse
★"I'm not a bad person, I just have bad luck."
★When nurses with curses could not be allayed,Their sick superstitions would only pervade.
★SimTitle1 drew in a long breath and slowly exhaled. A smile grew on her face, and she looked untroubled for the first time in days. She began to nod quickly, almost frantically."Yes, it's definitely working," SimTitle1 said, "I can actually feel myself getting luckier. Wow, who would have thought that crazy remedy of yours would actually work against a real curse? Thank you, SimTitle0."And with that the hex was gone from the clinic, and SimTitle0 and SimTitle1 were finally able to return to their duties.
★Brew 2 servings of mulled wine.
★Following the old wives' tale, I'll need to brew up some mulled wine, grab a fresh set of linens from a dresser for SimTitle1 to wear and make sure I have a mirror. I have a feeling that persuading her to come back to the clinic again will be the hardest part. Perhaps if I take part in this zany ritual as well&
★To review the proper crafting of this ancient curse remedy, I'll need to catch a toad, mash it into a curative paste and apply it to the cursed.The amphibious salve should remain on while I take the viscera remains and submerge them in fresh water...I think the well will do the trick.
★"There should be some clean cloth operating gowns stocked in a dresser at the clinic."
★Grab fresh linens from the dresser
★"That's it, SimFirstName1. Just let that ointment seep in while I complete the instructions and dispose of the remains down the well. You should be feeling well in no time."
★"Creating the charm was messy business, but at least it's finished. Now for the unpleasant part of getting SimTitle1 to apply it."
★I'm sorry, but I don't think it worked. I feel no different; we're surely still doomed! I appreciate all your help, SimTitle0, but your business is healing the sick, not purging plagues. If only we could find someone who specializes in that sort of thing...Where is a witch when you need one?!
★With a few everyday ingredients and some creative use of a cooking pot, I can turn this set of fresh linens into a convincing witch costume for SimTitle1.
★"That grassweed is generating enough smoke to choke out three curses in my opinion."
★Yes, this cloth farmer's hat will double nicely as a witch's headgear. Now, the only thing missing to complete the costume is a suitably crone-like nose. I think I can whip up one using a drained leech and some herbs at my crafting station.
★The townswomen were initially mistrustful of SimTitle0's questioning, but after a great many reassurances both women eventually identified, SimTitle1 as the local herbalist and source of the curse remedy.Now SimTitle0 had to a find a way to convince to take part in the charade of cleansing the clinic of SimTitle2's tenacious curse, so life could return to normal.
★Drawing a long, slow breath, SimTitle1 looked untroubled for the first time in days. With a growing smile she addressed SimTitle0: I think you've done it. I feel& luckier. Who would have thought that crazy remedy would actually work? Doctor, I cannot thank you enough! Now that the hex is gone, I'm ready to return to the clinic.
★You found a certified witch, warts and all?! I can hardly believe it! I was sure we were doomed for good.Thank you, SimTitle0, for all you've done. I will gladly return to the clinic to witness the end to this dastardly curse.
★SimTitle0 listened as the pouch of remains splashed into the depths of the well. She fervently hoped that all this trouble would convince SimTitle1 she was free of the curse, and not cause a sudden outbreak of illness from anyone who drank from the well.
★Everything should be ready to purge SimTitle1's curse, or at least her fear of one.Hypocras...check.Clean operating gown...check.Grassweed to burn...checkAccess to a mirror in the clinic&
★Let's cleanse this curse from the clinic, SimTitle1. If you will join me for a cup of mulled wine, we'll wear our linens and stare this hex in the face.
★To review the proper crafting of this ancient curse remedy, I'll need to catch a toad, mash it into a curative paste and apply it to the cursed.The amphibious salve should remain on while I take the viscera remains and submerge them in fresh water...I think the well will do the trick.
★"Hopefully I've stared at myself long enough for the both of us. I do not feel any different, but perhaps this has persuaded SimTitle1."
★Now that I have infused the town well with one of my curative tonics, SimTitle1 should be able to draw enough water for her tinctures, and I have earned myself a fake witch.I just need to provide her the costume, and with a lot of pageantry and a little luck, I may finally get my assistant back.
★While this is not the most flattering outfit, and the nose itches something awful, a deal is a deal, SimTitle0. You have helped me with the well, so I shall help you trick SimTitle1. I will be waiting in the garden, just outside the clinic preparing for my performance. Please bring SimTitle1 and I will do my best to pretend to remove this curse.
★Let me get this straight SimTitle0, you want me to pretend to be a witch put on a show of cleansing the clinic in front of SimTitle1? And to convince her of my power,' you going to prepare me a costume to act the part? This is an odd request indeed.But, SimTitle1 is an asset to TownName, despite her paranoia. Tell you what& if you treat the town well so I can draw some medicated water for some of my herbal tinctures, I will go along with this farce.
★"Good assistants ARE hard to come by..."
★"And now for the final, gruesome step. The recipe calls for a frog burial at sea, but I'm sure the well is just a good..."
★"Medicating the town well is the least I can do to get SimTitle2's help, and something I should do anyway...after who know what some people have tossed down there?"
★"The clinic needs tidying up, and with SimTitle2 afraid to set foot inside it looks like the menial chore falls to me."
★Medicate the well to earn SimTitle2's help
★Sweep the Clinic's Floor
★"Can SimTitle2 explain this behavior?"
★Question SimTitle2 about Behavior
★"Finally! Let us apply this charm and get on with the work of the day."
★Give Anti-Curse Charm
★Give anti-curse charm to SimTitle2
★So the nurse had a bit of a superstitious streak. The physician hadn't really noticed. Sometimes the quickest solution to a situation like this was to indulge the victim and play by the rules of the "curse." Find the imaginary cure, and the imaginary affliction seemed to vanish!
★The care-taker of TownName, usually the level-headed right hand of SimTitle0, was suddenly convinced that a terrible hex had befallen the clinic. It was probably nothing, but all the screaming about horrifying portents of doom was making the patients a bit jumpy. SimTitle0 would have to take action before the frightened nurse quit altogether...

★Matter of fact, I did run into a fellow kind of like that down by the town square. Goes by the name of Bill, or SimFirstName0... something like that.
★"Doesn't sound like this fellow has a lot to live for, anyway."
★SimTitle0 blundered around in the woods for some time, but couldn't find who she was looking for.

★Research for String0
★"That's it! It stands to reason that human life is maintained by a proper balance of the humors. All I have to do is extract a few humors and make a perfect blend to inject into a prepared vessel."
★Well, now SimFirstName2's creature can have his little broom.
★ I hope SimTitle2 isn't trying to clean up one of her big messes again& or creating one.

★Wait until String0
★With the aid of SimTitle1, SimTitle0's attempts to create life were rewarded with success! Although the results probably weren't worth duplicating, SimFirstName0's experiment dramatically enriched TownName's knowledge.
★Primary Hero:" Physician-------------------------------------Secondary Hero:" Spy" Knight
★Oh, that's great. Now SimFirstName0 will have something to do! Let's see how he responds.
★That's odd, SimFirstName0 never came home. I'll have to go looking for him.
★"A menace? I knew this situation would get out of hand, wizard? Fine, I'll do your dirty work for you again."
★A broom? What am I, an errand girl? Fine.
★Who knows how intelligent this new creature will be? Some menial labor should provide adequate purpose to his life.
★Body parts, eh? And you don't care where they came from? Easy. You got it.
★"I'll need to collect some blood for this potion..."
★Yes! Once I have the body, all that I need to do will be to enchant it with an assortment of mystical ingredients to reverse the effects of death!
★Yes! Once I have the body, I will concoct an elixir to recreate the humoral balance of a living body within a dead one!
★Today would be the day. SimTitle0 would build a new, living, breathing person from raw materials...and somehow profit thereby.But first, she would need help obtaining those ingredients.
★Today would be the day. SimTitle0 would a new, living, breathing person from raw materials. And mankind's knowledge of science and nature would be advanced immeasurably. .But first, SimFirstName0 would need helping finding a suitable body...
★Hmmm... my creature will be disoriented when he awakens. I should have SimFirstName0 acquire some focus for him. A sword or a broom, perhaps, to give him a sense of purpose.
★Hey, thanks! Say, do I know you? No? Oh well. I can't wait to try this out!
★You want me to get a sword for your new pet? Alright.
★Yes, my new creature will feel inadequate without a place in the world. Having a sword in his belt should make him feel like more of a man.
★A party, you say, SimFirstName0? In the forest? Will there be tea?! I'll head on over there now.
★Oh these will do, SimFirstName0. These will do NICELY. Where did you-- no, it doesn't matter, don't tell me.
★Warning! Warning!A crazed swordsman has been seen threatening people near the town square! Run for your lives!
★Hmmm... Suddenly I'm not so sure this is a good idea... I should keep an eye on this "creature."
★Very well, SimFirstName1, but this saddens me. It is the last time I'm doing your dirty work.
★I should never have let things get this far, but now it's time to put things right.
★Thanks, SimFirstName0. I not only pioneered a new discovery, but got myself a brand new helper to boot!
★Hey, you look familiar; do I know you from somewhere? Never mind, it's nothing.Actually, I'm doing quite well, thank you. SimTitle1 is taking good care of me, and I have such a delightful home to clean! Thanks for asking, and have a nice day.
★I'm sorry I disappointed you, master! You gave me a sword and I only intended to use it for good. I know now what I did was wrong, but people here will never accept me now. I'll leave the kingdom and try to start a new life somewhere else. Crafthole, perhaps.Goodbye, SimFirstName0.
★Thank you for telling me, SimFirstName0. I will handle this myself.
★*Sigh* I suppose SimFirstName0 should have a say in this.
★Well, I've got to hand it to SimTitle1, SimFirstName0 does seem to be settling in well. I guess she's really done it.
★You're right, SimFirstName0, it does feel nice having a friend in this world. I am now ready to go about my purpose: helping you.
★By the Watcher, what have I done? SimFirstName0 must be put down. I'll need help with this...
★Oh yeah, there's news alright. This crazy, disfigured maniac is running around with a sword, robbing people! Be careful out there!
★The aches and pains don't bother me much. I just feel... lonely. Is this what you call "life," master?
★Oh no! This is terrible! How could this happen...?
★This is fantastic! SimFirstName0 is doing great at menial labor! I've successfully created new life AND gotten a free servant to boot! Huzzah!
★"Assist the dark arts? I'm in."
★"I'm more used to taking life, but..."
★"Magic does not obey natural laws; neither do I."
★"Science can conquer even death."
★SimTitle1 didn't say they had to be human body parts. These animal parts should do.
★"SimTitle1 wasn't specific about where to get these parts. I'm sure animal parts will do. What could go wrong?"
★Hunt in the Forest
★Ah, there it is... fresh blood!
★The deed is done, and my bag is full. Time to make a delivery to SimTitle1.
★"Now it should be safe for me to slip into the forest and harvest these body parts for SimTitle1."
★Dispose of Transient in the Forest
★I did it! Now let's get you someplace safe...
★"Now it's time to test my theory. I should find a secluded place some people might... misinterpret what I am attempting."
★Perform Secret Experiment
★"I've done it! I must get this creature home safely and see if he's alright."
★"I can't believe I really did it!... But he doesn't look healthy. I wonder how he feels?"
★Chat with SimTitle1
★"I knew this plan was misguided. Now it's time to set things right."
★Kill SimTitle1
★"That should be long enough for SimTitle1 to make his way to the forest."
★ I should give SimTitle1 a head start. I don't want to be seen following him in a murderous rage; it might give me away.
★Wait One Hour
★I should hang around the center of town just in case anything happens.
★"Let's give SimFirstName1 some time to get settled and see how he adapts."
★Wait to See How SimTitle1 Does
★"Life is a privilege not to be abused. Now it's time to put things right."
★Kill SimTitle0
★The attempt to create life led to nothing but failure and disaster. Perhaps such a task was not meant to be undertaken by mortal hands.

They were hosting an event called the "Fortune Festival" which, at least according to rumor, could offer the townsfolk a glimpse into the future.Some were calling the festival blasphemous, but others could not deny their curiosity. Drawn by curiosity herself, SimTitle0 decided to put on her luckiest undergarments and attend the festival.
★Mmm, nothing like the flavor of good fortune!
★Greetings, SimFirstName0! A pleasure to see you on this fine day. For your tremendous strength of character and invaluable service to the kingdom, I have decided to award you with the very first "Citizen of the Century" award!Oh, and the reward comes with a giant bag of gold. Congratulations!
★Congratulations, SimFirstName0. Please take this figurine as thanks for participating in the events of this festival. Let fate guide your path.
★I wonder if I get any other prizes for being the Citizen of the Century? Maybe I should ask SimTitle0 about it...
★Welcome to the Fortune Festival, SimTitle0! I have been expecting your arrival, of course! How may I assist you?
★Visit our fortune teller and learn what the future holds for you! Also, we're running a special on palm readings.
★What is this? Why has SimTitle0 been arrested? The Monarch has just declared her Citizen of the Century, not Bacon for the Beast!
★This must be it! I wonder who's in charge here?
★A book? Is it too much to hope to see some answers in here?
★Suddenly SimTitle0 was right by SimTitle1's side. The constable cleared his brawny throat and read from a scroll, "SimTitle1, for most heinous crimes against the crown, including the ghastly murders of several peasants, desecration of holy ground through fire, and theft from the royal treasury, thou hast been sentenced to execution in the Pit. May The Watcher have mercy on your soul."
★Try your luck at dice or cards on any of the tables laid out on the lawn. We will be holding a tournament later today and offering prizes to anyone who can win two games!
★Of course it is the same, why do you think I gave you that old tome! Do you think that the Monarch frequently gives out "Citizen of the Century" awards? You need to rid yourself of it, immediately. Terrible luck is hurriedly approaching.
★What the deuce?! Several hundred Simoles just disappeared from my bag!
★I wonder, if I just arrange the cards like this...and roll the dice like this...
★A perfect selection! Now I'm ready to head to the festival.
★Citizen of the Century? What remarkable good fortune! I should ask the royal advisor if this award comes with any special privileges!
★No, no, I can't cheat my way through this tournament.
★If I just flick the dice like this...a perfect roll!
★My wish was granted? But I don't see an army of squirrels in matching uniforms anywhere...
★As "Citizen of the Century," you will of course have access to the royal facilities, including the Monarch's personal washroom and dressing chamber. You may also help yourself to beverages at the royal cask, and the Monarch has requested that you receive a magnificent hug from myself, SimTitle1.
★Reduced-price palm readings? A wishing well of infinite mystery? Table games? Where should I start?
★My skin looks incredible today! Not a single blemish!
★SimTitle0 has won the first round of the tournament! If she can win another match, there will be a prize reward!
★Incredible, SimTitle0 has won again!
★Flipping through the pages of the ancient tome, SimTitle0 saw images of bizarre and extraordinary objects. One was a glittering emerald ring that seems to be opening a portal to another world. Another showed a gold chest decimating an army with beams of lightning or fire.Then SimTitle0 saw it: a silvery pegasus figurine framed by golden sunlight on one side and dark fire on the other. Its caption read, "Relic of the Fates - highly dangerous, disturbs the congruence of experience. Can only be transferred through games of chance."
★Ah, the inscrutable well of infinite mystery! Many desperate souls have tossed coins into that well imploring The Watcher for guidance, or wish-granting, or immense wealth.
★Ugh... I'm not feeling quite well...
★Wh--What?! Why am I being arrested?! They must think I'm someone else! It's all a mistake!!
★Maybe wishing for the power to control minds was too ambitious...
★SimTitle0 Has been lost, cruel fate!
★Have you had that strange limp for long? Wait, I think I know what this is. Please come with me at once back to the castle; I must show you something.
★I pluck the strings of Fate!
★Fate strikes down the strong!
★Pierce the veil of Fate!

★"We found your crew. They're all dead; slaughtered by sharks."

★Quest failed! SimTitle0 may never know the fate of her crew or why they were attacked.
★SimTitle1 discovered the fate of SimTitle0's ship and crew, but the reason behind the attack remained a mystery.TownName's ship was attacked at sea by an unknown enemy.Meanwhile, scouts reported that Tredony and Aarbyville are on the brink of war.A storm looms on the horizon for TownName.
★Shipwrecked Sailor
★Your Majesty, there's been a sudden increase in Aarbyvillian pirate activity.There are rumors that SimTitle0 has called a meeting of the Tribunal and that the Red and Black fleets have been doing heavy recruiting.We should proceed with caution.
★Yes, My Lady.I shall see what can be done to awaken our half-drowned guest.
★Yes, My Lady.I shall summon our scouts to await your arrival back at the castle.
★Right here, Your Highness.The guards have searched through the wreckage and can provide further details if you wish to hear them.The sailor is alive, but hasn't yet come to.What do you wish of me?
★SimTitle0, come quickly, the sailor is waking!
★We were not far off the coast, just a bit south of this position here.They attacked us after we found the wreckage of the other ship.
★Strange, those waters aren't known to be especially dangerous.They're close to the Tredonian trade routes and sometimes attract pirates from Aarbyville, but they generally don't involve other kingdoms in their conflicts.
★I've summoned our scouts.Hopefully they'll be able to shed some light on this situation.We must be sure that TownName is prepared in case things become more dire.
★Your ship was fired upon?!Come to the tactical map and show me where you were attacked.
★Looks like they've sorted the wreckage, and there's that poor wretch of a sailor... still passed out, I see.SimTitle0! Where are you? Give me a status report.
★I feel bad for SimFirstName0, but there's nothing that can be done to help now.I need to head back to the castle to meet with SimTitle1 and tell her what happened out on the water.
★This wood has been badly splintered.It looks like the ship was hit by cannon fire.The other two guards have their own theories about who was behind the attack.
★This looks like the work of pirates to me, Your Majesty.
★This could be the work of the Merchant's guild. I hear they can be pretty ruthless with non-guild traders.
★This is troubling news.Return to your scouting assignments in Aarbyville and Tredony. Continue to gather information and send word back to TownName.I'll have a word with SimTitle0 about our kingdom's security.If war is coming, we need to be prepared.
★SimTitle0 was on her way to the beach to meet with SimTitle1.Hours earlier, a sailor had washed ashore along with some ship wreckage. SimTitle0 hoped to learn what had happened out on the waves.
★What a horrible situation... I wonder if the guards have gained any insight from examining the wreckage?I had better set off soon if there is to be any hope of finding survivors.
★What a horrible situation...I had better set off soon if there is to be any hope of finding survivors.
★The seas have always been dangerous, but this kind of aggression cannot go unchecked.I shall confer with SimTitle1 to decide our course of action.But first, what will I tell SimFirstName0 about her crew?
★Look!The sailor is waking up.
★Perhaps no news is good news in this case. I'll search the coastline for my friends.Thank you for your efforts.
★I feared as much...Thank you for your efforts.
★I'm alive? Praise be to the Watcher!I didn't get a good look at our attackers... they hit us in the middleof the night.Before I knew what was happening I was thrown into the cold, black waves and our ship was burning.We had a crew of 30... You must sail to look for survivors, I beg you!
★Durrrr.... ugh...Where am I?Am I dead?
★How did it go? Did you find any of my shipmates?
★Yes, Your Majesty.
★SimTitle0 sailed to search the waters off TownName's coast for any signs of the wreck or its crew.
★After nearly an hour, a crewman spotted some flotsam.As the ship drew close, a grisly sight appeared. Floating among splintered and burnt wood were half-eaten bodies and a sheen of red in the water.If any other sailors had survived the attack, the sharks had made sure they wouldn't find their way back to land.
★This TNS should appear at the same time as an Outskirt Event. What will happen?
★Yes, My Lady.I will make the necessary preparations.
★See that our forces are prepared SimTitle0.We may have avoided battle for now, but there is a war brewing and I have a bad feeling we haven't seen the last of it.
★My Lady,The Tredonian Guild Consortium had an emergency meeting with SimTitle0 of the Tredonian Navy to discuss countermeasures against increased pirate attacks.I haven't seen things this heated in Tredony before. The Admiral is recommending a full-out assault on the pirates.
★"Strange things are afoot in TownName."

★What a preposterous compendium of nonsense! I should have someone remove this book from my library...

★Your majesty! You must see for yourself. Please take this boar meat and toss it into the pit When the beast snatches it you will see what I was describing.
★And get squeezed to death by those blue tentacles? No way!

★Whew, let me catch my breath and try that again!
★I wonder if there are any books about the Pit Beast in my royal bookshelf.
★Nope, that water was sparkling and delicious! It must be something else...
★"Hear ye hear ye, the creature previously known as the Pit Beast will forever onwards be known as Hank"
★Of course, it's probably sad because everyone refers to it as "Pit Beast." What a tragically prosaic name. Now I just need to think of something with penache...
★It must be feeling terrible! Not one criminal has been devoured in months, and those are its favorite delicacy. I have been throwing haunch after haunch of meat to the beast, but something must be wrong for it to stop eating criminals.
★I will need to talk with someone who is familiar with the Pit Beast's most private emotions, but who would know something like that?
★Find someone who knows the Pit Beast
★I wonder who would be the most in tune with the pit beast's emotional state?
★"The Kingdom requires me to be devoured by the Pit Beast? Please your majesty, find someone else!"
★Well, I was hoping for something more gruesome! The Pit Beast didn't eat my victim though, something is definitely wrong. Perhaps I should consult SimTitle0 and see if she knows anything about what might be ailing it.
★Well, those books gave me a few ideas! If the Pit Beast has a physicial ailment, a sample of it's tentacle would be invaluable in determining the illness. I should let SimTitle0 know my findings.
★Alright, I'm in the pit. Now where is that...UH OH!
★Of course, your majesty. Please return when you are ready.
★It refuses to devour criminals? That sounds preposterous, plus I was already planning a luxurious bath today. Perhaps someone else could contact SimTitle0 and investigate...
★OH NO, NOT THE HORRIBLE PIT BEAST!
★Whew, that's a long list! Maybe I can find some of this at the village store.
★Well of course it does! I've been throwing all sorts of filthy things down there for years.The real problem is that the Pit Beast has stopped eating criminals that I toss into the pit.
★Excellent, I have the health salves!
★The Beast has stopped eating people? Does that mean I can't throw disased cadavers into the pit anymore? Your majesty, I will conduct some research and determine what could be causing this strange lack of appetite.
★SimTitle1 unfolds the secret note and reads the contents:Your Majesty! A tragedy has befallen the kingdom. The beloved pit beast has fallen deathly ill and refuses eat any of our criminals! Also, its tentacles are much too droopy. Please send someone at once to investigate!- SimTitle0
★Well those two books were not especially helpful. If only I had an actual piece of the pit beast to analyze.
★I need volunteers and healing ingredients.
★Well, I guess I have to perform this diagnosis myself...
★Now I just need to sprinkle a little of this potion on one of the tentacles...
★The only thing left to do is apply this powerful potion to the Pit Beast itself
★Sorry, I have to go clean the chamberpot!
★Alright I have the well water, now to find out if there is anything wrong with it.
★According to SimTitle0, an urgent message was delivered to my secret dropbox at the messenger post outside. I must read this note at once!
★Sorry, I'm not a hero!
★I wonder who would be the most in tune with the pit beast's emotional state?
★I should check in with SimTitle0, perhaps she has discovered something about the plight of the Pit Beast!
★Maybe now I could enjoy a sudsy soak in my personal tub! Being the Monarch has its benefits.
★Time to see if SimFirstName0 was telling the truth...
★"Hear ye hear ye, the creature previously known as the Pit Beast will forever onwards be known as Barnacles, Devourer of Tendons"
★Perhaps I should adopt a different approach to convincing my townsfolk to throw themselves into the clutches of a horrible monster?
★Yes, your majesty! I discovered several old tomes in your library that document the history of the pit beast and its origins in our kingdom. Also, I contacted the kingdom Physician, SimTitle0, and she has offered her services to help diagnose and cure the beast.
★"The reader may presume that monsters with tentacles are simply flesh-mongering terrors that wreak havoc on all of mankind. This assumption is in fact false - these creatures are often more afraid of us than we are of them!Research specialists have documented that the eponymous Tentacled Terrors have many human proclivities such as depression, jealousy, and fear. These creatures often resent intrusions of their privacy and defend themselves against home invasions!One study contained within this text describes a mighty Kraken that consumed several dozen merchant ships because it never received a present for its 1000th birthday!"
★Long before the emergence of TownName, settlers discovered a strange pit leading only to blackness. At first, the pit was used for disposing of unwanted trash; diseased bodies, animal bones, buckets of rats, and anything else unpleasant was freely tossed into the blackness and forgotten.This practice continued until one day a ghastly tentacle reached out of the pit and yanked a peasant into the darkness. That peasant was throwing the body of his murdered wife into the pit so no one would ever learn of his terrible deed.According to legend, the creature from the pit had developed a keen taste for the most terrible criminals. The innocent, however, were less flavorful and often released from its clutches with nothing more than a few bruises and a layer of pungent monster goo.Since that time, the creature has been an ally of Justice, acting as an arbiter for those accused of transgressing the kingdom's laws.
★Not eating criminals?! But what shall we do with all the devil-worshipping cultists locked in the castle dungeon? I will investigate at once, your majesty.
★Information!

★Buy and Place an Interrogation Chair in the throne room
★"This all started because thought the other side killed family. Yes, now they stand before each other. Can they be reunited?"
★"SimTitle2 said the advisor would know how to locate a witness. I must check with her to get under way."
★"Clearly these opening statements aren't going to uncover the truth behind the incident at the peace summit. But I know someone who can..."
★"The secret mission, the subterfuge has all led to this. I just need to get safely to the town square to stand witness."
★"What counsel does my advisor have in this desperate time?"
★"With such a heated opening statement, it's hard to imagine these two sides reaching any sort of resolution."
★"These fools, blinded by their prejudice, never saw this conclusion coming."
★"No sense in delaying any further. I'd better get them to the Town Square, before they decide to return to Tredony."
★"I hope SimTitle2 was right and her treaty is enough leverage to get the pirates to comply."
★"It doesn't matter which pirate I get it from, as long as TownName gets its dues."
★"If SimTitle1 can gain the support of enough of the world, she may have the legal right to bring the two warring nations to justice."
★"Now that a witness has been procured, the next step is to take them into protective custody at my home."
★"Rumor has it that the monarch's returned from her journey. If all's gone well, we can hold the war court soon."
★"Who knows how long negotiations may take? In the meantime, perhaps SimFirstName1 can help prepare for my plan."
★"I hope the trip to pick up the pirates was successful..."
★"This mission sounds vital, yet perilous. If SimTitle2 thinks I need a guard's support, I'll not argue."
★"Now to ensure my escort is prepared for this critical undertaking."
★"What could this be that the Admiral kept so close to his person? More evidence?"
★"I need to discuss the reality of what we're facing with someone outside the throne room, someone not already wrapped up in the politics of the situation."
★"SimTitle1's throne room shall not be turned into some bar room brawl."
★"While not officially law, posting this 'Declaration of Peace' will let all of TownName know that I defy this war!"
★"I'm dying to know what really happened that fateful day in the reception hall."

★"I hope testimony is worth it, or this civil court will quickly turn ugly."
★"SimTitle1 taught me I can't stand idly by and let this war ruin our lives. Now I just need to get the rest of the world to feel as I do."

★The brutal conflict between Tredony and Aarbyville had pushed the world to the brink of disaster! Other nations suffered at the hands of this sprawling war, and a united call for peace was lead by TownName. Despite an inspired attempt to bring the two factions to arbitration in a court of war championed by SimTitle0, the tensions of the trial and deep-seated grudges prevailed and the noble intentions for peace dissolved under the continued reality of war.

★The brutal conflict between Tredony and Aarbyville that had pushed the world to the brink of disaster had finally been resolved... the war was over!And it wasn't accomplished in a great battle, but through pressured negotiation and sheer force of will by SimTitle0 in a court of law. While SimTitle0 deftly managed the tensions of the trial, kingdom heroes destabilized the feuding nations by removing their war leaders. Then, in a bold move, they quickly capitalized on this instability and subjugated the two weakened territories to the undiminished power and supremacy of TownName.
★The brutal conflict between Tredony and Aarbyville that had pushed the world to the brink of disaster had finally been resolved... the war was over!And it wasn't accomplished through military might or vicious treachery, but by the mediation of SimTitle0 of TownName in a court of law.Before the drama of the trial threatened to renew hostilities, level-headed compromise prevailed and the leaders of the feuding territories ultimately signed a treaty to establish a lasting peace across the land.
★Wonderful, my liege. I shall inform TownName's peasants of your pleasant surprise.
★Your Majesty, as a token of their gratitude, the townsfolk have renovated and improved the Town Square.Please take a look. Is to your liking, or do you want it torn down?
★TEMP TEST: Hi, my name is SimTitle0 & I'm looking for SimTitle1.
★TEMP TEST: Hi, my name is SimTitle0 & Im looking for SimTitle1.
★I will inform the people of TownName that the changes were not satisfactory. My apologies, my liege. This tragedy will be undone at once!
★TEMP TEST: Hi, my name is SimTitle0. I am looking to find SimTitle1
★Of course I planned the attack! I'd rather die than make peace with those cutthroats! I care little for the treasures, although SimTitle1 coveted them. My reason was... IS vengeance, pure and simple. Pirates killed my family. And so now I will kill them. All of them!
★Ha! I knew it was you behind the attack!I been waitin' a long time to get you under my blade, SimTitle0; just like you put my family under yours years ago.We settle this now, once an' for all!
★SimTitle0! Fool, showing up here in a vain attempt at chivalry.You are right, though. This will end now, with your long overdue death. And then I'll turn my blade on your little harlot, SimFirstName1.You will pay for all my people you killed, in blood. For my family!
★HOW DARE YOU, CUR!It is the only thing I care about& the only thing I have of my son's before he was murdered by pirates!I will kill you twice for even speaking of it!
★NOOO! HOW DARE YOU?!It's mine. My only memory of them. Of him. I will have it back!
★The brat lies! 's a traitor to Tredony, seduced by the power of Darktide, that filthy pirate wench.I'll not stand here and listen to these baseless accusations!
★Wait, a burn scar? And mother was named Arell?!My young son got badly burned as an infant playing near a guild forge. And my wife's name was Arell...No... No, it can be. My son lived all these years, and I killed him?!Nooooo! I cannot live with this...
★My son?! SimTitle0 is my long-lost son? That's impossible! 's a pirate and my nemesis, but the facts are all there... knew of my drawn map, which I've never shown to anyone. remembers my lovely Arell.
★Upon my honor.
★My Liege, we cannot afford to remain at the center of this struggle any longer.After hearing the declarations of our neighboring nations, I urge you to isolate TownName before it is too late.The world is in ruin, there is no hope for peace.
★Ah, SimTitle0, ready for your mission?All our hopes now rest on you. As such, SimTitle1 ordered that I provide two items to help in your search: the Jeweled Compass of Tredony and the Golden Spyglass of Aarbyville. Use them wisely and return swiftly!
★Oh, and before you set sail, SimFirstName0, SimTitle1 asked one last task of you...Post this treaty up at a proclamation board for all of TownName to see.
★Your Highness, I must speak with you in earnest!
★It can't be true... My entire life has been shaped by the loss of my family, supposedly at the hands of SimTitle0. Yet, 's held on dearly to MY drawing for all these years, nursing the same wound that I've been in vengeful silence. My father& SimTitle0.
★Gaaaaaaarghhhh....
★Unhand her! NOW! This trial is a mockery and you, SimTitle1, sit on a throne of lies. Stop torturing girls and try that on me, if you're feelin' crazy enough to dance with me blades!...For I will cut you all and win the war I so cleverly started!
★That map& I remember that map. I drew it for me dad before he sailed away. Before SimTitle0 killed him!Why do you have it? Steal it off his corpse as a trophy?!ANSWER ME, YOU MURDEROUS DOG!
★I owe you many times over... *grunt* For turning me into an outlaw...For the burn scare you left me with when you failed to kill me!*growl* For the death of my mother, Arell!
★ENOUGH!As guests in my kingdom and ambassadors, I expect a certain level of decorum, regardless of personal vendettas.
★...Yet, since you cannot manage to be civil, I have no choice but to suspend your diplomatic rights and discipline you as I would common thugs.SimTitle0, shame these brutes until SimTitle1 arrives to deal with them!
★I call a dog a dog. But by your smell, speech and attire I would be insulting even the most flea-ridden mongrel! Simply put: I loathe your kind and am quite embarrassed that we share the same title. I am the esteemed ambassador of the illustrious nation of Tredony& You are a FILTHY PIRATE!
★That's it! I've had it wit' yer coin-pinchin', dandy-lovin' fake-noble face! I choke on yer arrogance and flowery perfume. Yer frilly clothes n' fancy talk are better suited fer a brothel.Ye call me a filthy pirate again n' I be showing you what that means!
★This is an occasion to celebrate! While the leaders of Aarbyville and Tredony ratify my peace treaty, I shall brew some royal libations to toast the end of this conflict.
★I hereby officially call TownName's war court to order!The issue at hand is the resolution of the conflict between Tredony and Aarbyville.All concerned parties are now here. SimTitle0, please swear in the participants.
★SimTitle0, I regretfully inform you that Crafthole can no longer honor our long-standing alliance with TownName.War has diminished our surplus of goods, we have little left to export, and no one to protect our caravans. Please don't take this as a slight against your kingdom, but we must focus on our own people at this time. I'm sorry.
★Well, with that royal signet ring you got, I'm duty-bound to help ya.Unfortunately, I only have a dirty uniform with me that I haven't got around to washing.It's yours, but you may want to dunk it down the well or something.
★Surely we can be workin' somethin' out now that the unpleasantness wit' SimFirstName0 is over.I just so happen to have copied map to some loot buried here in TownName an' would willingly offer it to you, SimTitle1, as a dockin' fee before I depart.
★The merchant brat lies! 's clearly a puppet to his father an' seekin' petty revenge on me daughter, who was smarter than to fall for such a soft an' entitled dandy.SimTitle1 will not be a party to this slander.
★Yarrr...
★Thank you for eventually seeing reason. Even those who may not have supported my proposal must realize that there is strength in numbers. Together we can pressure Tredony and Aarbyville to cease their hostilities long enough to attempt arbitration.I will hold a War Court here in TownName and justice will be served!
★These ain't no easy marks!Let's go while we still can.I'll deal wit' you later, SimFirstName0...
★Pickings are slim lately. I'm just glad to be able to gather what I did. These should go into a larder straight away...Although my stomach growls when I recall the last time I had a decent, full meal...
★The entire purpose of this court is to mediate some peaceful accord between the nations of Tredony and Aarbyville.To do so requires understanding the reason behind this conflict, as well as respecting each other's standpoint.Now let us hear a statement from a representative of each faction.
★I got the leaders of Tredony and Aarbyville to "agree" to attend the trial. However, the pirates refused to travel alongside their merchant enemies.They should be arriving any moment now by ship. I left a contingent of my guards to ensure they comply.SimTitle0, please head to the docks and escort them back here so we may begin.
★Now that SimTitle0 is getting her mission underway, I have a big journey of my own to make.With a copy of the peace treaty, I should be able to pressure the leadership of Tredony and Aarbyville to return with me to TownName and stand trial in my war court.
★I think you're right, SimTitle0. We're not going to hear anything but pomp and propaganda. And it's getting us nowhere.Hopefully SimTitle1 can reveal the truth behind the reception hall attack.I'll return shortly with .
★SimTitle0, I'm honored to be a part of this mission and eager to begin. With any luck, the weather and the Watcher will both favor us!I will get the ship ready to sail.
★It appears I have no choice for you speak the truth, SimTitle1.I can no longer afford to pursue this conflict; my poor treasury is greatly suffering! So as an "investment" towards its improved health, I offer you gold in tribute.
★...I do swear.
★Whatever you think is best, SimTitle0.
★Now do us all a favor SimFirstName0, and stay hidden here until you are summoned for the trial. We don't want anyone getting wind of the 'surprise' witness.SimTitle1 will stay with you for your own protection.
★Another bright day graced TownName, but to SimTitle0 the world looked a shade darker...Recently, a ship limped into the docks, cargo-less. The battered crew told of a fierce sea-battle between the merchants and pirates.TownName was in trouble: resource stock-piles were nearly exhausted, the kingdom swelled with hungry frightened masses, and crime was rampant.SimTitle0 secretly feared for the future.
★It's true. I helped SimTitle1 plan the attack, steal the treasures and abduct SimFirstName0! It was easy, as the foolish boy thought I loved him. *laughs*... But how could I?! I'm SimFirstName1's woman, and through plot we're going to crush the merchants, and rule both Aarbyville and Tredony together.
★Sitting at the back of the bookcase's top shelf was a thick tome, covered in many years' worth of grime and neglect. Finding little else of value, SimTitle1 pulled the book down and brushed off the dust to reveal a promising title: "The Doctrine of Deeds: Realm Law."
★If I read that right, there is something of a precedent set for a diplomatic trial& When enforced by military threat or trade sanctions by a unified group of nations, a territory can be subject to the judgment of the international community. Which means, we might be able to end this conflict without further bloodshed! SimTitle0 should hear of this at once.
★That is quite enough! ...Lest you forget, this is a court of war and we have ways of learning the truth, SimTitle0.SimFirstName1, escort to the chair for questioning.
★That is quite enough! ... Lest you forget, this is a court of war and we have ways of learning the truth, SimTitle2.SimFirstName1, escort SimTitle0 to the chair for questioning.
★Well that's certainly not a comforting sight. I should gather some more victuals while I can, for the state of affairs in TownName is only going to get worse.
★Your territories have been ravaged by this feud, the rest of the world has turned its back on you, and you almost lost two of your leading citizens to a pointless grudge.Can you not now see the pointlessness of this war?
★I urge you to look beyond past atrocities... past your need for revenge, and end this war. If you can rise above this, I swear TownName will do everything in its power to support your efforts for goodwill.Join me in my throne room and sign a treaty for peace.
★Lady, SimTitle1 dropped something when fell.
★Thank you again, SimTitle0, for agreeing to this. I truly hope that this charade, as you put it, will convince you that this war serves no one and peace is in all of our interests.Once everyone is settled we shall get underway.
★Long have the pirates of Aarbyville raided our trade shipments and pillaged our ports. Many innocent traders' lives have been lost to their high seas banditry. Still, we were willing to turn the other cheek...
★How dare you claim we had anything to do with the start of this war, brigand! SimTitle0, clearly you cannot trust these bloodthirsty raiders.Long have the pirates of Aarbyville raided out trade ships and pillaged out ports. Many innocent traders' lives have been lost to their high seas banditry.Yet still we turned the other cheek.
★It was not until they played us false at TownName's peace summit that we could no longer overlook their evil ways. They're behind the attack in your reception hall. They stole both tokens of peace. They abducted my son and only heir, SimFirstName2!Tredony did not start this war, but we're willing to finish it.
★You dragged us all the way from our home for this... So yes, let's hurry and get this foolish charade over with. It must be nice to be a queen and expect everyone else to bend to your tyrannical will.
★... SimTitle1, to me! We've got a performance to attend. SimFirstName3, please keep a sharp eye on our camp and these thugs they call guards while we're away. But be prepared to join us at the first sign of trouble.
★Well, looky what we have here...A couple o' well-to-do lookin' citizens with only one guard to watch 'em? Me thinks there's more here. And since we got yer guard outnumbered, why don't ye hand over what ye got!
★TownName will not hide while the world is torn apart. Divided we will fall into chaos, but united there is still hope.I must make the others see this or die trying!
★We have persevered thus far as a bastion of reason and neutrality. To stop now would surely usher in a dark age. I admit our chances are slim if we alone continue to stand for peace, but united there is still hope. We must rally our allies or we are all lost!
★It seems the reason for this war was caused by a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that has now been resolved.Continuing this war now seems like folly without SimTitle0 and SimTitle1 to feed its flames.
★I shall have this "War Court" here in TownName to force Tredony and Aarbyville to reach an accord.But it needs to be carefully planned, and there's much to be done.I have a critical task for you, SimTitle0: provide me a surprise witness. My advisor has the means to locate one, but it must be done quietly.
★...You'll need to obtain disguises: a set of peasant's clothes from the village should work, and a spare guard uniform for you. And you need to enlist SimTitle2. She's posted at the stockades to help with the recent rise in crime.Here, take my signet ring so she knows you speak for me.
★Your counsel is wise SimTitle0, and your conviction inspiring. The castle is so full of dread lately, that sometimes I doubt we'll ever see the end of this war...
★...But no more! SimFirstName0, you've encouraged me. I would be grateful if you'd join me in the throne room. For I'll need all the help I can get to end this dark time.
★SimTitle0, this an unexpected surprise
★I understand your concerns SimTitle0, although I can't imagine the pressure you're under.TownName has not been the same since the onset of this war. Sometimes I barely recognize my home...
★Yet, thanks to you, my Lady, we've stayed out of the worst of it. And your people are made of sterner stuff.There is still hope! You must believe that, or all is lost.We may still be able to find peace on the other side of this dark time.
★Of course, My Lady. How else may I help?
★You heard SimTitle0! This is a royal court and no place for outlandish grudges. As ambassadors, you should be above this& But as you're not, let me make it clear that TownName will no longer tolerate this feud!SimTitle2, take them away.
★Thank you for allowing me to escort you here, SimTitle0.Please, make yourselves... comfortable. I'm sure we'll get under way shortly.
★We're only pirates because Tredony forced us to be so.I can't remember a time when these noble merchants weren't out to destroy Aarbyville. From the start we've been gouged by their greed...
★Ye' say we're at fault?! We caused this?! SimTitle0, don't believe this silver-tongued snake!We are only pirates because Tredony forced us to be so.I can't remember a time when these noble merchants weren't out to destroy Aarbyville. From the start we've been gouged by their greed&
★They called us criminals when we couldn't pay their outrageous tariffs, and then hunted us on the open sea. Honest sailors captured by their navy became serfs to fuel their decadent lives.But the final straw was their treachery at yer' peace summit. Good people o' Aarbyville wer' lost, our treasure stolen, and SimTitle1's gone missin'!No longer will we suffer their insatiable greed. If it's war they want, it's war they shall get!
★I don't suppose we got much of a choice, with the rest of the world gangin' up on us...We'll attend your "war court," not that it'll do much good. Especially with SimTitle1 missing, the slippery lil' rat&
★& SimFirstName2, you and SimTitle3 stay here. I'll send me bird if we need you.And try not to gut anyone too much.Come, SimTitle4.
★Let me tell you SimTitle0, these pirates are none too happy to be here.If it weren't for SimTitle1 and the treaty she kept waving in their faces, I was sure they were going to draw blades. Even still, I thought my men and I were going to get tossed overboard on the trip here. Thank the Watcher we made it...
★They should be out here shortly. & You'll be wanting to speak with SimTitle2.You should also know that SimTitle3 fled just before we arrived in Aarbyville. Touchy subject.
★The situation is far more dire than I realized. Tredony and Aarbyville remain dead-locked at each other's throats. And there's no sign that either faction is willing or able to end the feud.
★Worse, the impact of this conflict has begun to spread to the rest of the world, not just TownName. Trade and diplomacy between the territories have all but ceased, and lawlessness has become all too common. I fear we all do not have long before this war destroys civilization as we know it.
★From what I could see on the map, things seem as grim as SimTitle0 described. I'm no expert in diplomatic matters, but I'm guessing those fires are bad.I pledged to help end this conflict. So, while here in the throne room, supporting my liege, I may as well be productive about it and read up on the law.
★Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed dignitaries of the jury, I would like to call in a surprise witness that may be able to shed some light on the unfortunate incident which marred the peace summit...
★After years of living only for avenging my murdered family, to now discover my own flesh and blood is alive; I have lost all taste for war.& SimTitle0, my son, would you join me for a drink in the village? There's so much I would know, and I've wasted too much of my life already.
★Yes, Admir... father, I would like that.
★With the royal signet ring, you speak with the authority of the crown. Of course, I'll join you on this SimTitle1.Truth be told, locking up pickpockets was getting to me. And I'd do anything to help save TownName from this war.I'll be waiting for you at the docks.
★Ye seem to think I'm a fool, like SimTitle1 over there?I don't carry me riches around wit' me. An' I dunno if I feel like sharin' them wit' ye.
★No? Perhaps I HAVE misjudged you after all, SimFirstName0.But perhaps while you're bravely facing ridicule and rotten food in my stocks, your lovely associate SimTitle1 will be more... cooperative. Seeing how my stocks will be full, but my pit beast is not.
★Ye have my oath.
★Thank ye, generous hosts... We'll just see ourselves out.
★Your presence is needed at court in the town square.I hope you're up to it, SimFirstName0; it was getting pretty intense when I left.
★Do you, of rational mind and proper character, thus swear to speak no falsehood, partial falsehood, white lie, exaggeration while conducting yourself as a member of this hallowed court of justice, so help the Watcher?
★You each have my regards for your participation. But let me make it very clear, the world is watching and will abide your dispute no longer. If left unchecked, it will surely bring ruin to us all.Therefore, I will not tolerate any oath-breaking or contempt. Doing so will bring with it dire consequences!
★With your fleets weakened by constant warfare and the loss of your two best warriors, it seems to me that your nations are vulnerable and in no position to put up a fight.Yet, TownName remains at full strength, as we were wise enough to stay out of your foolish conflict.As of this moment I will be taking control of your territories. Both your governments shall hereby pay regular tributes to me for the continued privilege of existence.GUARDS!
★I'm here to articulate for the nation of Ticktop. Our populace is peaceful and industrious, with little interest in the drama of international politics. This conflict is just further confirmation that diplomacy is a failed experiment, one we want no part of. We felt it prudent to inform you that our borders are hereby closed to all outsiders indefinitely.
★Here is a "Declaration of Peace." See that it gets posted in TownName. Hopefully it will provide some hope to my beleaguered people.After writing the official Treaty, I have a journey to make. While I'm away, will you ensure the town square is set up to host the War Court upon my return?
★With that task completed, all that's left is to collect my escort, SimTitle1, at the docks and embark on our mission.
★My Lady, while you held court, I occupied myself by browsing some scholarly texts, hoping to find a way to help.I don't know if this helps, but I found precedent in a law tome allowing a group of nations to force an offending territory to face justice in a diplomatic trial.
★It's hard to remember a time when TownName wasn't surrounded by warships and choked with smoke.This sight used to uplift me when I remember establishing a new kingdom full of promise, now it just pains me to think it may all end.
★...That walk may not have been the best idea, after all. Seeing the reality of TownName face-to-face has only disheartened me further.I must unburden myself before returning to court.
★The worst of humanity has risen to the surface of TownName like a festering wound.I used to walk proudly through my kingdom, encouraged by the dedication and virtue of my people.Now I see orphans begging for scraps, beggars dying on the ground; everywhere people are poor, ill, and hopeless.
★Welcome SimTitle1.
★I'm not sure a soggy uniform is better than a filthy one, but at least much of the smell has been washed out.
★I see no sign of the Aarbyvillians. The war court can't go on without them!I'd better check with the guard.
★I can no longer hide away while this war continues, knowing I might be able to stop it!I'm sorry to admit I ran& .ran away with SimTitle0 to protect her. I knew SimTitle1 was planning something, and that my father was in on it. A way to wipe out the pirates. I couldn't let that happen to her, so we fled. But now she's safe, I knew I must return if there was a chance to stop SimFirstName1's plot.
★I was a fool to fall for SimTitle0. I should have listened, father. I'm sorry.Because of me, she and SimTitle1 were able to plan the attack and steal the peace offerings.I learned too late of their deceit and was kidnapped for it. I only barely managed to escape while they were... distracted.I had to return to stop them and expose the truth!

★You should have told me yesterday! No matter& I'll investigate these enigmatic cases myself.
★That's odd& I found nothing beyond the ordinary maladies. Certainly nothing lethal. Yet these townsfolk are convinced we're in the grip of a lethal pandemic.I should confer with SimTitle1.
★And you just have a little gout and a cold...
★Looking up from the freshly swept floor, SimTitle0 found the usual number of ailing citizens packed in the clinic. However, on top of their typical groans of aches and pain was a palpable sense of panic...
★SimTitle0 felt a stinging itch in her nose. "Maybe it's the accumulated dust and leech droppings," she said. "I'd better give the floor a sweep."If only she knew it was an indicator of a threat much worse to come&

★With a virulent plague rushing toward TownName, SimTitle0 moved quickly to stem the contagion. However, the usual treatments failed to nullify the first strains of the epidemic. It was not until SimTitle1 acquired a suspicious shipment of grain that a cure was developed and quickly administered via the water supply. The source of the illness was purged with fire and the epidemic dissolved harmlessly at the borders of TownName.

★This peasant's a goner for sure, unless I can drain enough blood. I don't want TownName's first victim of the epidemic to be on my hands.
★Not a thing. Is this a new strain of incurable plague, as the townsfolk claim?... No! I refuse to believe it. I need more evidence.

★Question the Plagued Peasant
★These warts and goiters appeared so suddenly!Just a few dawns ago I was fine, tending to my livestock& I repaired some fencing, then relaxed with a mug of ale at the Inn and Bread-shop at the village.
★I had no symptoms just a few days ago! I just worked my fields and bought some dinner loaves from SimTitle1. That's all!
★How can I argue with that? I'll head up now.
★Is that... my blood? I feel... woozy...
★In the village, I saw a peasant with a goiter the size of a mill-rat! I think she sneezed on me...
★My aunt was staying at our shack and she was so sick, even her lice were dying. She said everyone at her hometown looked sick, too.
★DOOM! DOOOOM!!! Everywhere! I'm surrounded by peasants with yellow skin and dripping eye warts!
★Just looks like you have a bit of a sniffle, maybe a bruised leg.
★It's horrible! At the village there are huddled masses terrified of a plague! We're all done for!
★Perfect. These may come in handy, especially if someone coughs plague on me.
★Yes, off at the village. Rumors of a sickness that has swept the countryside like a wind wraith harvesting a crop of peasants. I'm scared, SimFirstName0.
★Well, that didn't work. Now the patient has ooze dripping from those hideous eyelid warts!Just how widespread is this illness? The merchant sees many folk in town... maybe she'll know more.
★My stomach... nerve endings... searing...
★No!!!
★Watcher's wrath! We're all in a dire situation indeed!
★I was able to negotiate a trade with Crafthole for the rest of their infected grain& here is a sample. There are crates of it in the ship -- collect what you need.While you create your concoction and figure out distribution to TownName at large, I will rid the village of its infected grain shipment.
★No& I've failed& I& I must press on. I'll ask SimTitle1 for further help.
★Yes!! It seemed to work; this potent anti-virus is what I needed! Now to save TownName, I shall use it to medicate the well.
★No& I've failed& The prototype serum only amplified the malady...Yet, I must press on. TownName's very existence hangs in the balance.I'll ask SimTitle1 for further help.

★Trade negotiations with Crafthole were successful in providing them with a fresh supply of wheat for a sample of the contaminated grain.
★Due to fear, trauma or plain mistrust, none of the refugees in the village would talk openly to SimTitle0 of their flight from the jaws of the mysterious plague.
★It took a few coins of persuasion, but the refugees spoke. All agreed on the vile symptoms of yellow-ish skin and mouth sores, and the speed in which it killed. As for the cause& some claimed it was a curse from the Watcher, others said it began with a bite from a rabid rodent. One old man swore it came about from drinking too much ale.

★Don't know bout this plague business. I'm a busy woman an' behind on my baking.I've not strayed from my normal routine: tended the shop, made some deliveries, an' purchased a bushel of grains. I used that for the weekly bread orders an' gave the left-over bits to my husband for brewing.
★Opening the missive, SimTitle0 allowed herself a small glimmer of hope. Dear SimTitle0,I hope this find you well, given the current circumstances. We have recently been battling a virulent new plague caused by a shipment of corrupted grain. We are wary of any trades while our stocks are contaminated, but if you can deliver a bundle of wheat, we can provide a sample of the suspect grain.Regards, E.H.W.Trade Guild of Crafthole

★Thanks for this. I'll meet with my fellows and discuss your donation. We'll talk to you in the morning and let you know what we decide.
★The peasants are revolting AGAIN. Resolve it, and I'll reward you well.And SimFirstName1? Keep it civil. I don't want the streets to run crimson with blood this time.
★Haha! That will get the message across. Now for the finale...
★You think you can just buy me off by shoving a bag of coins at me? What do you take me for?It would take at least two bags!
★The gruel you gave us was quite satisfying. Unfortunately, we were hoping for some fine Tredonian soap. Something with a floral scent, perhaps.

★I don't know where the peasants got this soap idea into their heads, but at least it should help with the stench...
★Acquire 1000 Soap
★"The Monarch thought of this possible outcome and I know what I must do. I have been authorized to create a royal poison called Monarch's Scythe. I must use this to eliminate the peasant leadership."
★Create Poison: Monarch's Scythe
★How should SimTitle0 handle the peasant leader?
★What will you give the peasants?
★What should SimTitle0 do?
★"I'll just threaten these peasants for information. That always works."
★"I don't like her attitude. Execute her!"
★"Soap for everyone."
★"I should find the peasant leader."
★"I can see things her way, kind of. So... execute her!"
★"Food for half of them."
★"I'll threaten a peasant. You catch more flies with a swatter than with honey."
★The soap is nice... but wait, what of the food? This is unacceptable, SimTitle0!
★Hah! You honestly think it would be a fair fight for one such as yourself to face a humble peasant in combat? Now Kingball, on the other hand, is a sport of the people...
★Ha ha! In your face, peasant!
★Perhaps the next peasant I make my offer to will be more compliant now...
★This is unacceptable. I'll have to make an example of this peasant leader.
★The message SimTitle0 received from SimTitle1 was brief: Resolve the dispute with the peasants, and she would be well rewarded. She was free to do it any way she liked, as long as the streets didn't run with blood.It was time to get down to the square and see what all the fuss was about.
★The message SimTitle0 received from SimTitle1 was brief: We need to talk. Peasant problems.
★Soap will be just fine! Thank you! Oh thank you!
★"Oh, we'll be just fine! We'll eat dirt; that tastes pretty good!"
★I've learned that in the end, good will always prevail over oppressive peasants.
★How could I have lost? How disgraceful. I need to keep playing.
★This is going to hurt a lot!
★This is only going to hurt a little...
★It wasn't my idea, it was SimFirstName0's! You can find her at the tavern usually.
★You know, you're not such a bad sort, SimFirstName0. You should meet my boss, SimFirstName1. Ooops, I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?
★Oh yeah, you must be looking for SimFirstName0. You should be able to find her in the tavern.
★Now excuse me while I sharpen my sword in case any of you other peasants don't see things my way.
★Ah, so that's what this is about& We don't have enough to go around, so you make the decision: Soap for everyone, or food for half of them?Choose wisely.
★You don't have to yell, SimTitle0. We simply want enough food for our families and soap to keep us clean.Taxes have run us dry, and we can't afford it ourselves. Tell your master we need these things.
★You don't have to yell, SimTitle0. What we want is quite simple. We just want some money to feed and clothe our families.
★You don't have to yell, SimTitle0. What we want is quite simple. We just want ample food supplies for our families and soap to keep ourselves clean.
★...and by the way, I hear you're the leader of all this rabble?
★These insufferable peasants! They're meant to be poor! A good old-fashioned morality play will put them in their place. But how to begin...?
★Double? They want double? Outrageous! Fine. I should be able to raise that money without too much trouble.
★This should be enough money to keep them happy.
★This slop should be good enough for peasants.
★I hope this is enough to cut through the dirt.
★This peasant leader talks a good game, but will she stay loyal to her fellows when personal gain is on the line?
★Oh my!
★"Don't hurt us!"
★Soap for everyone? Good answer. A smelly peasant is a noticeable peasant.Go now, give them soap.
★NO! WRONG!We need that food! And they need baths! Give them soap. Now GO.
★It will be more fair if I can give them all soap.
★Food is necessary for survival. That's what we'll give them, even if it isn't enough.
★"Peasants won't stand up to steel."
★"Fear is a great motivator."
★SimTitle0 handled the peasant revolt like a professional! She has a bright future.
