- ~11Name Soldiers Tavern Pomdirgunua Bye ~/
- ~| name *
- "I am Sergeant Hendrix"
- ~| soldiers *
- "The soldiers are the guardian of Trimmail and what it stands for. We take~~
- land away from farmers and merchants in order to make the economy more~~
- stable. So don't hassle me about it being the wrong thing."
- ~| tavern *
- "We took this tavern as a headquarters. The king plans to set up a summer~~
- home at the site of the old tavern. We are here to make sure noone decides~~
- to get in the way of the construction when it happens."
- ~| king *
- "He does what he thinks is best for the land of Trimmail. Perhaps, taking~~
- as much land as he does is not necessary, but he uses that land in a good~~
- way. Once, the city of Tiw was completely devoted to farming. Now in~~
- place of the farms is a wonderful training academy for the soldiers. If~~
- you would like to become a soldier, that is the place to go."
- ~| pomdirgunua *
- "This town is such an easy target for the king. It's beautiful and~~
- peaceful. We are getting so bored here. Noone puts up a fight. This town~~
- is nothing like Hayward. When we went to take over a farm there, the owner~~
- sometimes made us kill him. The last farm we took over there, the Royal~~
- soldiers did it all themselves. The Royals are good. They can tie up~~
- a person and drag him out in only seconds."
- ~| royal royals royal_soldiers *
- "They are also trained at the camp in Tiw. Most have a special gift in~~
- fighting or are just very experienced."

- ~12"That's all we are around here, fellow."
- ~| tavern *
- "I like to drink here. I hardly ever leave."
- ~| the_den *
- "The den will soon be only for pirates."~~~~
- ~=
- ~12"Ya know, we did this about 50 years ago to another island. Now that~~
- place is called the Wolf's Hideout. Noone knows where it is."~~~~

- ~| death_scythe scythe *
- "Don't worry about it, you will stay alive longer!"
- ~| default *
- "I don't know a thing about that."~|
- ~! pommaster
- ~12The Armsmaster's face is extremely scarred. Though, he has a peaceful look~~
- just like everyone else in town. He reminds you of a battle-scarred veteran.~~
- He says to you, ~9"Welcome, it's not very often that I get customers."~~~*
- ~~~9"I can tell you about animals, training, Pomdirgunua, and the land.~~
- Just say bye when you are finished."~~~/
- ~| name *
- "I'm called Torix"
- ~| animals *
- "The animals in the East Forest aren't very big, but the forest has magical~~
- abilities. Every animal has a special attack. Beware, though, of the Cyclops~~
- for it will drop even the most valient warrior in one strike."
- ~| special *
- "A special attack is a kind of special ability learned by an animal. The~~
- special attack is usually much stronger than any other attack the animal can~~
- inflict. The only thing you can count on with one of those attacks is that~~
- never will they do one and then right away do another. To put that simple,~~
- you can defend a special attack, and then strike and not have to worry about~~
- another special attack hitting you."
- ~| cyclops *
- "The Cyclops is a hidious beast with one eye in his forehead. He carries~~
- a massive club, usually spiked. He is the toughest in the East Forest."
- ~| training *
- "I put my students through a rigerous strength building program and then help~~
- them to straighten out his or her aim with bows. I charge 55 coins."
- ~| pomdirgunua *
- "I retired to this peaceful town to get away from war."
- ~| war *
- "I was part of the Royal Guard of Trimmail when they were fighting what they~~
- should have been fighting, which is the pirates. Many lives were lost on both~~
- sides in that war. Then, suddenly, the king stopped fighting the pirates and~~
- ordered an attack against some rebels on a farm at Trimmail. We won flawlessly~~
- and the king kept the land. Greed had overcome him and I retired."
- ~| king *
- "He was once a great ruler. Now, it's as if he is possessed."
- ~| land *
- "Surely, by now you have seen it all. Pomdirgunua is the safest town in the~~
- land as long as you stay out of the forest. Noone here dare fights."
- ~| default *
- "I wouldn't know anything about that."~|

- ~| prices *
- "Well, I can't boast about having good prices, but I do have good food. I~~
- sell bread for five gold coins and I will buy it for four gold coins. Fish~~
- is sold for eight coins and bought for five. Meat is a little more expensive,~~
- but is very good. I sell it for fifteen and I buy it for ten."
- ~| bread *
- "I have very good bread. You can get it cheap. I've heard that if you~~
- take my bread to Trimmail or one of the other big cities, you may even~~
- be able to make a profit. Who knows?"
- ~| meat *
- "I only sell whole chickens right now, but I would be happy to buy any~~
- other kinds of meat you may have gotten."
- ~| fish *
- "Um, I love fish. Therefore, my prices are a bit expensive, but I am very~~
- happy to buy some. Some of the best fishing in the land is at Hayward."
- ~| hayward *
- "Splendid town, if you ask me. Of couse, I have no yern to be famous or~~
- rich. Hayward is a good place for the simple folk, but heroes should leave~~
- as soon as possible."
- ~| tavern *
- "I hear they have excellent beer there and fairly good food. I can't afford~~
- it; therefore, I have never been there, but if word about a place gets~~
- to people like me, it must be very good."

- ~| weapons *
- "I sell two kinds: short and long range. Which would you like to know about?"
- ~| short short-range short_range *
- "You absolutely must have a short-range weapon to survive. The Axe is~~
- the best thing I sell. I'm pretty sure it is the best thing anyone sells,~~
- but I do know of some special weapons. Well, they are rumors but you never~~
- know. I can point you in the right direction."~~
- "I got a new weapon now called the White Sword."
- ~| long long-range long_range *

- wearing any armour, you can usually kill him without getting close."
- ~| special special_weapon point special_weapons *
- "There are two that I know about. One is an axe made by a very talented~~
- artist that works in Sussenex. Another is a magical reaper which pirates~~
- call the Death Scythe. It is said that a group of pirates recovered the~~
- powerful weapon just floating in the ocean. It had a strange blue glow~~
- and seemed to make the creatures it was used against lose their sense~~
- of direction."
- ~| soldiers *
- "Luckily, I've had no problems with them."

- Then, there is the Great Troll and the Sceptres which are not to be played~~
- with. Which one would you like to know more about?"

- rest is up to you. hehe."
- ~| animals *
- "The jungle animals are alot stronger than those creatures you are used to~~
- from the small, nowhere town of Hayward. There is a deadly Red Parrot that~~
- hunts from the sky, but the worst thing in the jungle, besides pirates, is~~
- the legendary wolfman. He is half-man, half-wolf."
- ~| red_parrot parrot *
- "I've killed many of the vile things. Usually, the parrot will swoop down~~
- from the sky and take you by surprise. Be careful when battling one."
- ~| wolfman *
- "Many years ago, a group of adventurers led by myself went into the jungle~~
- to wipe these mistakes of nature from the island. The beasts were much more~~
- numerous back then and a pack of them killed three fourths of my group. We~~
- were able to kill all of them and now there are few left. The strangest~~
- thing about those creatures is that they were first found in the deep forest~~
- of Burkshire. How they got here, noone knows."

- to the forest sometime and you will see where what I can teach you would~~
- be needed. For that fifty coins, I can build up your strength and make~~
- you a more nimble fighter."

- some trouble. Beware of the savages that roam the woods. Some animals I~~
- know about are the Warplant, the wolf, and the bear."
- ~| warplant *
- "The Warplant is a fearsome vegatable. It has a special attack in which~~
- it shoots acid at you. Be sure to be behind your shield when that happens.~~
- With all things considered though, the Warplant is the perfect victim, it~~

- yourself until right after his special attack. I've never seen two special~~
- attacks come right after another."
- ~| land *
- "The land outside of Hayward is indeed a violent one. In some places, dragons~~
- control the town. In others, the king forces his cruel rule upon. Gambling~~
- and prostitution has corrupted the other island and pirates prey on merchant~~
- ships. The country is truly a wonderful place. At least, we don't have to~~
