All the riss goes to the soldiers. We keep a little for ourself, but Friend Kroax says too much riss makes workers slow.
[maar_riss_2]
*CUTTER*
Guess that doesn't apply to soldiers, eh?
[maar_riss_3]
*MAAR*
What?
[maar_riss_4]
*CUTTER*
Forget it.
[maar_riss_5]
*MAAR*
If soldiers not get riss every moon from us, Friend Kroax would be very mad and soldiers would become weaker. I can not let that happen. We need soldiers to protect us.
[maar_riss_6]
*CUTTER*
From what?
[maar_riss_7]
*MAAR*
From...something. I do not know.
[maar_riss_B_1]
*MAAR*
I do not like you very much, Uloku.
[maar_riss_B_2]
*CUTTER*
Ulukai, you dimwit.
[maar_riss_G_1]
*MAAR*
Maar can tell Uluyou anything you want to know about riss.
[maar_riss_G_2]
*CUTTER*
How do you grow it?
[maar_riss_G_3]
*MAAR*
Ummm...I do not know. But I can count it.
[maar_riss_G_4]
*CUTTER*
What is it used for?
[maar_riss_G_5]
*MAAR*
Oh, I know this. Kroax needs it to feed his loyal soldiers.
[maar_riss_G_6]
*CUTTER*
And the talan that are working, do they get any of it?
[maar_riss_G_7]
*MAAR*
Any of what?
[maar_riss_G_8]
*CUTTER*
The riss.
[maar_riss_G_9]
*MAAR*
Yes, they plant it.
[maar_riss_G_10]
*CUTTER*
I understand that Maar, but do they get to eat any of it?
[maar_riss_G_11]
*MAAR*
Of what?
[maar_riss_G_12]
*CUTTER*
The riss.
[maar_riss_G_13]
*MAAR*
Oh, do the farmers get to eat the riss?
[maar_riss_G_14]
*CUTTER*
Yes!
[maar_riss_G_15]
*MAAR*
No. Well, not very much of it anyway. Friend Kroax says that they work better without a lot of riss in them.
[maar_riss_G_16]
*CUTTER*
That doesn't sound right, does it?
[maar_riss_G_17]
*MAAR*
Friend Kroax is always right. Friend Kroax made Maar in charge because Maar is the smartest.
[maar_riss_G_18]
*CUTTER*
How do you think the soldiers would like it if they didn't have much riss?
[maar_riss_G_19]
*MAAR*
They would become weaker and be very angry.
[maar_riss_G_20]
*CUTTER*
So?
[maar_riss_G_21]
*MAAR*
Oh, you are right.
[maar_riss_G_22]
*CUTTER*
I knew you had to have a brain in there somewhere Maar.
[maar_riss_G_23]
*MAAR*
Yes, you are right. I must work now because I am going to be late giving riss to the soldiers. Thank you for reminding me Uluflo.
So how am I supposed to get the tablet out of here, Maar? I need it now.
[maar_open_chest_7]
*MAAR*
Maar does not know. I lose key many moons ago. Only way Maar know to open something that does not want to open is by destroying it. But this chest is very strong. I think only thing that will open this is the loud noise from dynamite.
[maar_open_chest_B_1]
*MAAR*
No, I lose the key many moons ago. Do not tell Friend Mazum that, ok?
[maar_open_chest_B_2]
*CUTTER*
So how am I supposed to open this, Maar?
[maar_open_chest_B_3]
*MAAR*
Maar is very smart, but Maar does not know. Guess it can not be opened. I must go back to work now.
[maar_open_chest_G_1]
*MAAR*
I wish that I could, Kululoi. I think I leave zorkins in it the last time I open it.
[maar_open_chest_G_2]
*CUTTER*
Why can't you?
[maar_open_chest_G_3]
*MAAR*
You promise not to tell Friend Mazum?
[maar_open_chest_G_4]
*CUTTER*
What?
[maar_open_chest_G_5]
*MAAR*
I lose his key many moons ago. I have looked for it, but I can not find it anywhere.
[maar_open_chest_G_6]
*CUTTER*
Great. Now what can I do, Maar?
[maar_open_chest_G_7]
*MAAR*
Ooh, Ooh, I know. You can open it with the loud sound that the dynamite makes. That works for rocks, it will work for box cause they sound the same. Maar is highly smart.
Naarn? Oh yes. I remember that talan. He was very angry with Maar.
[maar_naarn_2]
*CUTTER*
Why Maar?
[maar_naarn_3]
*MAAR*
Cause Maar did not have key. Naarn hit Maar when I told him I not have key. I ask him not to tell friend Mazum that I lose key, but he run away screaming. I hope he did not tell on Maar.
[maar_naarn_4]
*CUTTER*
Where did he go?
[maar_naarn_5]
*MAAR*
He did not say. This was last moon and I have not seen him again. I tell Kroax that he was not working for two moons now. Kroax was not happy.
[maar_naarn_B_1]
*MAAR*
I am angry with Naarn almost as much as I am with you, Kululoi. He called Maar a zort.
[maar_naarn_B_2]
*CUTTER*
No, really?
[maar_naarn_B_3]
*MAAR*
Yes. And he hit Maar. Naarn was very upset that I did not have key to Friend Mazum's box. Also angry about something else too. I do not want to talk of this anymore.
[maar_naarn_G_1]
*MAAR*
Yes, Uluvi. He was full of much anger.
[maar_naarn_G_2]
*CUTTER*
Why is that?
[maar_naarn_G_3]
*MAAR*
Because Maar could not find key to Friend Mazum's box. He wanted to get tablet, but I could not help him. He got angry and hit Maar.
[maar_naarn_G_4]
*CUTTER*
When was he here?
[maar_naarn_G_5]
*MAAR*
Last moon. I tell Friend Kroax that for two moons Naarn not do his riss. I think Kroax want to find Naarn very badly now.
I do not like the loud sound it makes. It hurts my ears.
[maar_dynamite_2]
*CUTTER*
It can do that. No, I mean do you know where any dynamite is?
[maar_dynamite_3]
*MAAR*
No. Friend Kroax has it hidden away so the Guardians can not find it.
[maar_dynamite_4]
*CUTTER*
The Guardians? They use dynamite?
[maar_dynamite_5]
*MAAR*
I do not think so. They just steal it from Friend Kroax so he can not use it on other talan, they say.
[maar_dynamite_6]
*CUTTER*
Crap.
[maar_dynamite_7]
*MAAR*
I think some of the other riss counters near the waters of the Temple Fae have seen some Guardians hide some dynamite.
[maar_dynamite_B_1]
*MAAR*
It is not something I like, just like you Ulupa.
[maar_dynamite_B_2]
*CUTTER*
Do you know where any of it is?
[maar_dynamite_B_3]
*MAAR*
You go jump in the Temple Fae water and get bitten by sankaar, ok? I no talk about this.
[maar_dynamite_G_1]
*MAAR*
Oh, it makes such a loud sound when it works. I do not like loud sounds.
[maar_dynamite_G_2]
*CUTTER*
That's too bad. Do you know where any are?
[maar_dynamite_G_3]
*MAAR*
Any what?
[maar_dynamite_G_4]
*CUTTER*
Dynamite?
[maar_dynamite_G_5]
*MAAR*
No. Oh, but I think the Guardians do.
[maar_dynamite_G_6]
*CUTTER*
Why is that?
[maar_dynamite_G_7]
*MAAR*
Friend Kroax always talk about how they are stealing his dynamite and using them to destroy his things, like the boats around the Temple Fae. The Guardians are not nice for making Friend Kroax upset.
[maar_dynamite_G_8]
*CUTTER*
Do you know where they hide the dynamite, Maar?
[maar_dynamite_G_9]
*MAAR*
No...but I hear some of the other riss counters talking about it. They work near the waters of the Temple Fae this moon.
Maar, is there anyway I could convince you to stop your riss production?
[maar_lower_resources_1]
*MAAR*
What you ask for would make Friend Kroax very upset. I do not think that is a smart thing for Maar to do.
[maar_lower_resources_2]
*CUTTER*
Why don't you ask the other talan?
[maar_lower_resources_3]
*MAAR*
I think for everyone to agree, Maar would have to know that all talan like very much you, Ululu. And I also think that there must not be many soldiers left in Shamazaar to be upset with Maar.
[maar_lower_resources_4]
*CUTTER*
Do you think it's ok now to ask them?
[maar_lower_resources_5]
*MAAR*
No, I do not think that enough talan say good things about Ulubo yet.
[maar_lower_resources_6]
*MAAR*
No, Maar has seen too many soldiers around. I do not want them to hurt Maar anymore.
[maar_lower_resources_7]
*MAAR*
I do, but many speak of their wish to see the Essence Stone back in its place again.
[maar_lower_resources_B_1]
*MAAR*
No, no talan would follow Maar to do what Ulure wants to do.
[maar_lower_resources_B_2]
*CUTTER*
Are you sure?
[maar_lower_resources_B_3]
*MAAR*
Yes. Too many talan think that Ulufa is bad. Maar think Ulufa is bad.
[maar_lower_resources_G_1]
*MAAR*
It may be possible, Alakai, but I will have to think a minute.
[maar_lower_resources_G_2]
*CUTTER*
About what?
[maar_lower_resources_G_3]
*MAAR*
No, it is not possible. Maar see too many soldiers around. I do not want to have them hurt Maar when they become upset.
[maar_lower_resources_G_4]
*MAAR*
No, I do not think other talan will follow their great leader Maar on this.
[maar_lower_resources_G_5]
*CUTTER*
Why?
[maar_lower_resources_G_6]
*MAAR*
They all speak quietly of wanting to see the Essence Stone returned. I have never seen stone either. Maar want to see pretty stone.
[maar_lower_resources_G_7]
*MAAR*
About how much this will upset Friend Kroax. Friend Kroax was nice to me. Stopped soldiers from hurting Maar.
[maar_lower_resources_G_8]
*CUTTER*
Maar, listen. All the talan who work here are afraid of you.
[maar_lower_resources_G_9]
*MAAR*
Afraid? They are not afraid.
[maar_lower_resources_G_10]
*CUTTER*
Yes, they are. They are afraid that you will tell your friend Kroax that they are working slow.
[maar_lower_resources_G_11]
*MAAR*
Yes, Friend Kroax like it when I do that.
[maar_lower_resources_G_12]
*CUTTER*
Do you know what happens to those talan who Kroax takes away?
[maar_lower_resources_G_13]
*MAAR*
They are given another work?
[maar_lower_resources_G_14]
*CUTTER*
No. They are reverted.
[maar_lower_resources_G_15]
*MAAR*
How do you know?
[maar_lower_resources_G_16]
*CUTTER*
Let's just say it's an easy bet.
[maar_lower_resources_G_17]
*MAAR*
You say that Friend Kroax is not friend?
[maar_lower_resources_G_18]
*CUTTER*
Bingo, zippy. Now, would you like to hurt Kroax?
[maar_lower_resources_G_19]
*MAAR*
Kroax not friend of Maar? Maar would like to hurt Kroax, yes.
[maar_lower_resources_G_20]
*CUTTER*
Then you talk to the others here and get riss production to stop.
