matter. If you ever have need to trade in items of sorcery, she maintains a strangely well- stocked hut just across the river.
05. Gillian,  my barmaid? If it were not for her sense of duty to her grand-dam, she would have fled  from here  long ago.  Goodness knows  I begged her to leave, telling her that I would watch after the old woman, but she is too sweet and caring to have done so.
06. Farnham spends far too much time here, drowning his sorrows in cheap ale.  I would make him leave, but he did suffer so during his time in the labyrinth.
07. Wirt is rapscallion and a little scoundrel. He was always getting into trouble, and it's no surprise  what happened to him.  He probably went fooling about someplace that he shouldn't have been. I feel sorry for the boy, but I don't abide the company that he keeps.
08. Many adventurers  have graced  the tables  of my tavern, and ten times as many stories have been told over as much ale.  The only thing that I ever heard any of them agree on was this old axiom. Perhaps it will help you. You can cut the flesh, but you must crush the bone.

GILLIAN THE BARMAID
01. Our blacksmith  is a point of pride  to the people  of Tristram.  Not only  is he  a master craftsman who has won many contests within his guild, but he received praises from our King
Leoric himself - may his soul rest in peace. Griswold is also a great hero; just ask Cain.
02. Cain has been the storyteller of Tristram  for as long as I can remember. He knows so much, and can tell you just about anything about almost everything.
03. Pepin  saved  my grandmother's life,  and  I know that  I can never repay him for that. His ability to heal any sickness is more powerful  than the mightiest sword and more mysterious than any spell you can name. If you ever are in need of healing, Pepin can help you.
04. The woman  at the edge of town  is a witch!  She seems nice enough, and her name, Adria, is very pleasing  to the ear,  but I am very afraid of her. It would take someone quite brave, like you, to see what she is doing out there.
05. Odgen and his wife  have  taken me and my grandmother  into their home and have even let me earn  a few gold pieces  by working at the inn.  I owe so much to them, and hope one day to leave this place and help them start a grand hotel in the east.
06.

07. I grew up  with Wirt's mother,  Canace.  Although  she was only  slightly hurt  when  those hideous creatures stole him,  she never recovered. I think she died of a broken heart. Wirt has become  a mean-spirited youngster,  looking only  to profit from the sweat of others. I know that  he suffered  and  has seen horrors  that I cannot even imagine, but some of that darkness hangs over him still.
08. My grandmother  had a dream  that you would come  and talk to me. She has visions, you know and can see into the future.

FARNHAM THE DRUNK
01. Griswold?  Good old Griswold. I love him like a brother! We fought together, you know, back when... we... Lazarus... Lazarus... Lazarus!!!
02.

03. Hehehe, I like Pepin.  He really tries, you know. Listen here, you should make sure you get to know him. Good fella like that with people always wantin' help.  Hey, I guess that would be kinda like you, huh hero? I was a hero too...
04. Why don't that old crone  do somethin'  for a change.  Sure, sure, she's got stuff, but you listen to me... she's unnatural.  I ain't never seen her eat or drink - and you can't trust somebody who desn't drink at least a little.
05. Odgen  is the best man  in town.  I don't think his wife  likes me much, but as long as she keeps tappin' kegs,  I'll like her  just fine.  Seems like  I been spendin'  more time with
Odgen than most, but he's so good to me...
06. The gal who brings the drinks? Oh, yeah, what a pretty lady. So nice, too.
07. Wirt  is a kid  with more problems  than even me,  and  I know  all  about problems. Listen here - that kid is gotta sweet deal,  but he's been there, you know? Lost a leg! Gotta walk around on a piece of wood. So sad, so sad...
08. No one ever lis... listens to me.  Somewhere - I  ain't too sure - but  somewhere under the church  is a shole pile o' gold.  Gleamin' and shinin'  and just waitin' for someone to get it.
09. I wanna tell ya sumthin',  'cause I know all about this stuff. It's my specialty. This here is the best... Theeeee best! That other ale ain't no good since those stupid dogs...
10. If I was you... and I ain't... but if I was, I'd sell all that stuff you got and get out of here. That boy out there... he's always got somethin good, but you gotta give him some gold or he won't even show you what he's got.

WIRT THE PEG-LEGGED BOY
01. I guess  I owe the blacksmith  my life - what there is of it.  Sure, Griswold offered me an apprenticeship at the smithy, and he is a nice enough guy,  but I'll never get enough money to... well, let's just say that I have definite plans that require a large amount of gold.
02. Cain knows too much.  He scares the life  out of me - even more than  that woman across the river.  He keeps telling me about  how lucky I am to be alive, and how my story is foretold in legend. I think he's off his crock.
03. As long as  you  don't need anything reattached,  old Pepin is as good as they come. If I'd have had some of those potions he brews, I might still have my leg...
04. Adria  truly  bothers me.  Sure, Cain is creepy in what he can tell you about the past, but that witch can see into your past.  She always has some way to get whatever she needs, too.
Adria  gets her hands  on more morchandise  than  I've seen pass  through the gates  of the king's bazaar during high festival.
05. Odgen is a fool  for staying here. I could get him out of town for a very reasonable price, but he insists  on trying to make a go of it with  that stupid tavern.  I guess at least he gives Gillian a place to work, and his wife garda does make a superb shepherd's pie...
06. If I were a few years older,  I would shower her  with whatever riches  I could muster, and let me assure you  I can get my hands on some very nice stuff.  Gillian is a beautiful girl who should get out of Tristram  as soon as it is safe.  Hmmm... maybe I'll take her with me when I go...
07. Don't trust everything the drunk says.  Too many ales  have fogged  his vision and his good sense.
08. In case  you haven't  noticed,  I don't  buy anything  from Tristram.  I am  an importer of quality goods.  If you want  to peddle junk,  you'll have to see  Griswold,  Pepin  or that witch, Adria. I'm sure that they will snap up whatever you can bring them...

THE BUTCHER
Griswold : I saw what Farnham calls the Butcher  as it swathed a path  through the bodies of my friends.  He swung a cleaver as large as an axe, hewing limbs and cutting down brave men  where they stood.  I was separated  from the fray by a host of small screeching demons  and somehow found the stairway leading out.  I never saw  that hideous beast again, but his blood-stained visage haunts me to this day.
Cain     : It seems that the Archbishop Lazarus goaded many of the townsmen into venturing into the labyrinth to find the king's missing som. He played upon their fears and whipped them  into a frenzied mob.  None of them  were prepared for what lay within the cold earth... Lazarus  abandoned them  down there - left  in the clutches  of unspeakable horrors - to die.
Pepin    : By the light, I know of this vile demon.  There were many that bore the scars of his wrath upon their bodies  when the few survivors of the charge led by Lazarus crawled from  the cathedral.  I don't know  what  he used  to slice open his victims, but it could not have been of this world.  It left wounds festering with disease and even I found them almost impossible to treat. Beware if you plan to battle this fiend...
Adria    : The Butcher  is a sadistic creature that delights in the torture and pain of others.
You have seen his handiwork in the drunkard Farnham. His destruction will do much to ensure the safety of this village.
Odgen    : Yes,  Farnham  has  mumbled  something  about  a hulking brute  who wielded a fierce weapon. I believe he called him a butcher.
Gillian  : When Farnham said something about a Butcher killing people, I immediately discounted it. But since you brought it up, maybe it is true.
Farnham  : Big!  Big cleaver  killing  all my friends.  Couldn't  stop  him,  had to  run away, couldn't  save  them.  Trapped  in a room  with so many bodies... so many friends... noooooooooo!
Wirt     : I know more than you'd think about that grisly fiend.  His little friends got a hold of me and managed to get my leg before Griswold pulled me out of that hole. I'll put it bluntly - kill him before he kills you and adds your corpse to his collection.

POISONED WATER SUPPLY
Griswold : Pepin has told you the truth. We will need fresh water badly, and soon. I have tried to  clear  one of  the smaller wells,  but  it reeks  of stagnant filth.  It must be getting clogged at the source.
Cain     : Hmm,  I don't know  what  I can really tell you about this that will be of any help.
The water that fills our wells  comes from an underground spring.  I have heard of a tunnel  that  leads  to  a  great  lake  -  perhaps  they  are  one  and  the  same.
Unfortunately, I do not know what would cause our water supply to be tainted.
Pepin    : Please,  you must hurry.  Every hour that passes brings us closer to having no water to drink. We cannot survive for long witout your help.
Adria    : The people of Tristram  will die  if you cannot restore  fresh water to their wells.
Know this - demons are at the heart of this matter, but they remain ignorant of what they have spawned.
Odgen    : I have always tried  to keep a large supply  of foodstuffs  and drink in our storage cellar,  but with the entire town  having no source of fresh water,  even our stores will soon run dry. Please, do what you can or I don't know what we will do.
Gillian  : My grandmother is very weak,  and Garda says that we cannot drink the water from the wells. Please, can you do something to help us?
Farnham  : You drink water?
Wirt     : For once, I'm with you.  My business runs dry - so to speak - if I have no market to sell to. You better find out what is going on, and soon!

THE CURSE OF KING LEORIC
Griswold : I made many of the weapons and most of the armor that King Leoric used to outfit his knights.  I even  crafted  a huge two-handed sword of the finest mithril for him, as well as a field crown to match. I still cannot believe how he died, but it must have been some sinister force that drove him insane!
Cain     : Ahh,  the story  of our king,  is it?  The tragic fall of Leoric was a harsh blow to this land.  The people  always  loved the king,  and now they live in mortal fear of him.  The question that I keep asking myself is how he could have fallen so far from the light,  as Leoric had always been the holiest of men.  Only the vilest powers of hell could so utterly destroy a man from within...
Pepin    : The loss  of his son  was too much  for King Leoric.  I did what I could to ease his madness, but  in the end  it overcame him.  A black curse has hung over this kingdom from that day  forward,  but perhaps if you were to free his spirit from his earthly prison, the curse would be lifted...
Adria    : The dead  who walk  among the living  follow the cursed king.  He holds the power to raise  yet more warriors  for an ever growing army of the undead. If you do not stop his reign, he will surely march across this land and slay all who still live here.
Odgen    : As I told you,  good master,  the king  was entombed  three levels below.  He's down there, waiting in the putrid darkness for his chance to destroy this land...
Gillian  : I don't like to think about  how the king died.  I like to remember him for the kind and just ruler that he was. His death was so sad and seemed very wrong, somehow.
Farnham  : I don't care  about that.  Listen,  no skeleton is gonna be my king. Leoric is king.
King, so you hear me? Hail to the king!
Wirt     : Look,  I'm running a business here. I don't sell information, and I don't care about some king that's been dead longer than I've been alive. If you need something to use against this king of the undead, then I can help you out...

ODGEN'S SIGN
Griswold : Demons stole Odgen's sign, you say? That doesn't sound much like the atrocities I've heard of - or seen.  Demons  are  concerned  with  ripping out your heart,  not your signpost.
Cain     : I see that  this  strange behaviour  puzzler you as well. I would surmise that since many demons fear the light of the sun  and believe that it holds great power, it may be that  the rising sun  depicted  on the sign you speak of  has led them to believe that  it too  holds some arcane powers. Hmm, perhaps they are not all as smart as we had feared...
Pepin    : My goodness,  demons running about the village  at night,  pillaging  our homes - is nothing sacred? I hope that Odgen and Garda are all right. I suppose that they would come to see me if they were hurt...
Adria    : No mortal  can  truly  understand  the  mind of the demon.  Never let  their erratic actions confuse you, as that too may be their plan.
Odgen    : Master,  I have  a strange  experience  to  relate.  I  know  that  you have a great knowledge  of those monstrasities  that inhabit the labyrinth, and this is something that I cannot understand  for the very life of me... I was awakened during the night by a scraping sound just outside of my tavern.  When I looked out from my bedroom, I saw  the shapes of small demon-like creatures  in  the inn yard. After a short time, they  ran off,  but not before  stealing the sign to my inn.  I  don't know  why the demons would steal my sign but leave my family in peace... 'tis strange,no?
Gillian  : Oh my!  Is that  where  the sign went?  My grandmother  and  I must have slept right through the whole thing. Thank the light that those monsters didn't attack the inn.
Farnham  : You know  what I think?  Somebody took that sign,  and they gonna want lots of money for it.  If I was Odgen... and I'm not, but if I was... I'd just buy a new sign with some pretty drawing on it. Maybe a nice mug of ale or a piece of cheese...
Wirt     : What - is he saying  I took that? I suppose that Griswold is on his side, too. Look,
I got over simple sign stealing  month ago.  You can't turn a profit  on a piece  of wood.

THE MAGIC ROCK
Griswold : I am still waiting  for you  to bring me  that stone from the Heavens. I know that I can make something powerful out of it.
Cain     : Griswold speaks of the Heaven stone that was destined for the enclave located in the east.  It was being taken there  for further study. This stone glowed with an energy that  somehow granted vision  beyond that which a normal man could possess. I do not know what secrets it holds,  my friend, but finding this stone would certainly prove most valuable.
Pepin    : I don't know  what it is that they thought they could see with that rock, but I will say this. If rocks are falling from the sky, you had better be careful!
Adria    : The heaven stone is very powerful, and were it any but Griswold who bid you fint it,
I would  prevent it.  He will harness its powers and its use will be for the good of us all.
Odgen    : The caravan  stopped here  to take on some supplies for their journey to the east. I sold them quite an array  of fresh fruits  and some excellent sweetbreads that Garda has just finished baking. Shame what happened to them...
Gillian  : Well,  a caravan of some very important people  did stop here,  but that was quite a while ago.  They  had strange accents  and  were starting  on a  long journey,  as I recall.  I  don't see  how  you could hope  to find anything  that  they  would have carrying.
Farnham  : I used to have  a nice ring;  it was a really expensive one, with blue and green and red  and  silver.  Don't remember  what happened to it,  though.  I really miss that ring...
Wirt     : If anyone  can make something out  of that rock,  Griswold can.  He knows what he is doing,  and as much as  I try to steal  his customers,  I respect the quality of his work.

VALOR
Griswold : The armor known as Valor could be what tips the scale in your favor. I will tell you that many have looked for it - including myself. Arkaine hid it well, my friend, and it will take  more  than  a bit of luck  to unlock  the secrets  that  have  kept it concealed oh, lo these many years.
Cain     : The gateway of blood  and the halls of fire are landmarks of mystic origin. Wherever this book you read  from resides  it is surely a place of great power. Legends speak of a pedestal  that is carved  from obsidian stone  and  has a pool of boiling blood
