Introduction
Why hello, stranger! {Remember, Exile, plausible deniability.} I am Faustus, the Captain of the Fair Marylene. Consider {me} your access to the wealth of Wraeclast. There’s not a single market I can’t reach, so I shall be your most esteemed facilitator. For a small fee, of course.
Introduction_2
Why hello, stranger! I am Faustus, the Captain of the Fair Marylene. Consider {me} your access to the wealth of Wraeclast. There’s not a single market I can’t reach. You’ve got currency, they’ve got currency, and thus I shall be your most esteemed facilitator. For a small fee, of course.
Introduction_3
‘Hail,’ as these Kalguurans say. You’ve just met your most important ally in this strange new town. I am Faustus, the Captain of the Fair Marylene. Consider {me} your access to the wealth of Wraeclast. There’s not a single market I can’t reach. You’ve got currency, they’ve got currency, and thus I shall be your most esteemed facilitator. For a small fee, of course.
Invite to Hideout
Are you inviting {me} to work with {you?} Hmm, I suppose I could keep worse company. Why not? Consider me… ‘in!’
Hideout
It’s not the most comfortable hideaway I’ve ever graced with my presence, but it’ll do. We’re in this to make money, after all. Nothing else matters.
Kingsmarch
Well, as I understand it, the Kalguurans we see here are not… hmm, how to put this delicately… not the, heh, finest wines in the cellar. Some of them are part of official guilds back on Middengard, but most are dissidents, criminals, and suspected rebels. You are an exile from Oriath, just as they are exiles from Kalguur. If not in name, then in circumstance.
The Ring
Yes, it’s a beautiful ring, mmm! That’s real gold. Inherited it, believe it or not. {Are you mad? Get out of here with dangerous questions like that!}
Oriath
With Oriath evacuated, I suppose Kingsmarch is the last bit of civilisation left on Wraeclast. Oh, I {could} go live with the Karui like the rest, but that’s just not the way the winds are taking me.
Admiralty
With Darnaw dead, I’ve promoted myself to Admiral. Of course, the Oriathan Navy no longer officially exists… damn that Kirac!… so I’ll have to make my own. The {Faustian Flotilla!} Admiral Faustus commands boldly from the helm! Oh, yes, it’s quite magnificent, I know.
The King
You keep vigilant, Exile. Something’s afoot, and I feel a sinister shadow over my shoulder that only grows longer with each passing day.
Introduction_4
Another green footpad? The turnover here… oh, it’s {you!} I can’t say I’m surprised to see you turn up in a place like this.
FaustusSettlersOrderFilled_Random
There’s a fair breeze on the wind today, wouldn’t you say, Exile?
FaustusSettlersOrderFilled_4
The dog is in the henhouse, as a commoner might say.
FaustusSettlersOrderFilled_7
You’ve got affairs you might want to tend.
FaustusSettlersOrderFilled_10
Order’s in. ‘Twas a long journey, but the exchange went well enough.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_Random
I’ll put the word out.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_2
Hmm! I’ll put the word out.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_4
All in order. I’ll let you know.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_7
We’ll make it happen.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_10
Hmm, I should raise my fees.
FaustusSettlersPlaceOrder_11
Ugh, I should raise my fees.
FaustusSettlersGenericInteraction_Random
The {Fair Marylene} will set sail right away.
FaustusSettlersGenericInteraction_4
Our course is set.
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_Random
Well, it’s not {nothing.}
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_4
Doubt even I could sell {that.}
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_5
Ugh, doubt even I could sell {that.}
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_6
Oh dear, doubt even I could sell {that.}
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_7
Hmm.
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_8
Ugh.
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_9
Egh.
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_10
Ohh…
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_11
Oh no…
FaustusSettlersGambleMagic_12
Ugh, oh dear.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_Random
Not bad. Not bad at all.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_2
Not bad. Hmm! Not bad at all.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_4
Could do worse, Exile.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_6
Eh, heh! Could do worse, Exile.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_7
I’d consider that a win.
FaustusSettlersGambleRare_10
I’d consider that… a win!
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_Random
It seems every dog has his day!
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_3
It seems every dog has his day! Heh heh heh he!
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_4
Oh hoh, it seems every dog has his day! He he!
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_5
Oh, wish I’d kept that one.
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_6
Wish I’d kept that one.
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_7
Ohh, wish I’d kept that one.
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_8
It’s a gilded wonder!
FaustusSettlersGambleUnique_10
It’s a… gilded wonder!
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_Random
Let’s fix what’s broken!
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_3
Ahh, let’s fix what’s broken!
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_4
Nothing is truly set in stone.
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_7
Let’s see what we can do.
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_8
Let’s see what we can do, eh?
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_10
You don’t know what you don’t know, now do you, hmm?
FaustusSettlersOpenRespec_11
You don’t know what you don’t know, now do you?
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_Random
Ohh, It’s a bit cold here.
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_2
It’s a bit cold here.
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_3
It’s a bit cold here, it really is…
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_4
Never have I seen such strange architecture…
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_7
How did they ever find this place?
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_8
Oh, how did they ever find this place?
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_9
How did they even find this place?
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_10
I should have moved to Trarthus.
FaustusSettlersWildHideoutIdle_11
Oh, I should have moved to Trarthus.
FaustusSettlersConvoJohanOne
What’s a good and upstanding man of honour like yourself doing in a place like this, Johan?
FaustusSettlersConvoJohanTwo
Oh, you’re no fun.
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_Random
I spend far too much time here…
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_2
Oh, I spend far too much time here…
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_4
The {Fair Marylene} should be sailing high, not stuck here in port!
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_7
Need to find more of those damned exotic coins for the harbourmaster…
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_8
Need to find more of those damn exotic coins for the harbourmaster…
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_10
Around here, far too much money passes through hands that aren’t mine…
FaustusSettlersWildTavernIdle_11
Oh, around here, far too much money passes through hands that aren’t mine…
FaustusSettlersConvoRaulfOne
Raulf, have a drink with me.
FaustusSettlersConvoRaulfTwo
That’s… why that’s just insane.
FaustusSettlersConvoJohanThree
No, my good chap, we absolutely do not.
FaustusSettlersConvoJohanFour
I do not pay taxes to {foreign powers.} I don’t even pay taxes to my own people.
FaustusSettlersConvoJohanFive
Yes, the high sea… you can’t tax what you can’t find.
FaustusSettlersConvoTujenOne
It pays to be observant.
FaustusSettlersConvoIslaOne
You don’t have to… we’ve met here!
FaustusSettlersConvoIslaTwo
That’s what meeting {is!}
FaustusSettlersWildEnterTavern_Random
Well, look who it is!
FaustusSettlersWildEnterTavern_2
Well, look who it is.
FaustusSettlersWildEnterTavern_5
Is that the Exile I spy?
FaustusSettlersWildEnterTavern_9
Another beer, damnit!
FaustusSettlersWildEnterTavern_13
Fair weather!
Ominous Correspondence
I want you to know that I share the same concerns. For now, let’s play along. We are perfectly positioned to wait and watch. The dark underbelly of civilisation carries with it truths that cannot be obscured by the might of authority. They’re all terrified, whether they admit it or not. We’ll speak more on this in person. I don’t dare put pen to paper on the topic.
Faustus_Async_ListItem_Random
Hopefully, there’ll be interest.
Faustus_Async_ListItem_4
I think I can sell… that.
Faustus_Async_ListItem_7
I’ll let you know.
Faustus_Async_ListItem_10
Hmm, really?
Faustus_Async_ListItem_13
At that price?
Faustus_Async_PriceLower_Random
Fair enough.
Faustus_Async_PriceLower_4
Not selling, was it?
Faustus_Async_PriceLower_7
I’ll update that.
Faustus_Async_PriceLower_10
Thought so.
Faustus_Async_PriceLower_13
We’ll find a buyer eventually.
Faustus_Async_PriceHigher_Random
Why not go even higher?
Faustus_Async_PriceHigher_4
Makes sense.
Faustus_Async_PriceHigher_7
Gouge those rubes, I say.
Faustus_Async_PriceHigher_10
Noted.
Faustus_Async_PriceHigher_13
Higher and higher.
Faustus_Async_SoldInZone_Random
We’ve made a sale!
Faustus_Async_SoldInZone_4
That’s it! Sold!
Faustus_Async_SoldInZone_7
A deal is struck!
Faustus_Async_SoldInZone_10
Another customer satisfied.
Faustus_Async_SoldInZone_12
Our empire grows!
Faustus_Async_SoldOutOfZone_Random
You’ve had a sale, Exile.
Faustus_Async_SoldOutOfZone_4
Sold something while you were gone.
Faustus_Async_SoldOutOfZone_7
I’ve got some wealth for you.
Faustus_Async_SoldOutOfZone_9
We’ve made a trade.
Faustus_Async_SoldOutOfZone_12
Check in with me when you have a moment.
Faustus_Async_Buy_Random
Done.
Faustus_Async_Buy_4
No takebacks.
Faustus_Async_Buy_7
Really? Alright.
Faustus_Async_Buy_10
Heh.
Faustus_Async_Buy_13
Enjoy that.
Faustus_Async_Delist_Random
Alright.
Faustus_Async_Delist_4
That was never going to sell anyway.
Faustus_Async_Delist_7
Change your mind, eh?
Faustus_Async_Delist_10
What? Are you sure?
Faustus_Async_Delist_13
Fine. Fine.
Faustus_InviteToHideout
A {hideout?} Been many years since I operated as a common scallywag. I’ll do it! See you there.
Faustus_CommentInHideout
So this is home away from home, is it? Any port in a storm, I suppose…
Trade
As part of my growing little empire, I must also be seen doing legitimate business. The {Fair Marylene} sails anywhere and everywhere, so, if you have cargo you’d like to buy or sell… come to me. I’ll handle all the shipping and communications. I won’t even charge you full price, since you’re doing such important work.
