Would you mind having a few cups of vodka with me? Why not sip a little spirit, if the company's good... Mamai is my name. I am the descendant of the famous Cossack from the bard's song. Of course, I would be hard pressed to strangle ten Poles with just my trousers, but I can wield the pike quite well. During the battle of Berestechek, when the Poles and Crimeans crushed Hmelnitski's forces utterly, I was captured by the Tatars. They brought me to Kafa, offered me a place as a mercenary for the Turkish Sultan. But instead I killed the guards and fled. But when I returned home, I saw that all changed in the Sich." Come with me. I promise no easy life, but I can promise vodka and the spoils of war. Very well. As you wish. Just keep in mind, ever since I was taken prisoner, I cannot stand commanders who run away from the field of battle. I am agreed with you there. Let's have a toast -- I'm buying! And ready your stuff, we set out shortly. Just a minor note -- I have a small debt to the innkeeper. Last night I went on a spree, offered drinks to all in the inn. Then we brawled with some visiting Poles... Could you perhaps buy out my debt? It's only 300 thaler. Why would you even ask. Here's 300 thaler. You can win a war even if you lose a battle. Look for another companion. I would presume such a famous warrior would not accept me as commander. Thank you, but I am already leaving. Reencounter[] Now I am looking for some daring lads who might teach the Poles a good lesson... Retirement[] You see, lad, my brothers from the Don have planned a journey to Persia, to move some goods, and they called upon me to join them. Do not take this amiss, but I shall be going with them. Rehire[] Oh, commander! I knew in my heart that this journey I set out on would not bring me much good. My share of the goods is so small that I squandered it away in the first pub I passed. So if you'll have me back, I would be glad of it. Story: Korsun[] I come from here, you know. My father served in the Korsun regiment. Korsun was founded by Yaroslav the Wise himself, and of all the cities of Ukraine, is it perhaps second only to Chigirin. A great battle there was, when Hmelnitski utterly crushed the gentry. In these days I was held captive by the Tatars. Like Quotes[] Varvara[] I must say this -- Varvara is a lovely girl! I gave her a pinch the other day, and she beat me with a halter so violently that I had to run away... And my how thrifty she is! Never mind she's from Novgorod, her dumpling soup is so good the plates are licked clean. You were right to take her into our ranks. Dislike Quotes[] Fedot[] Listen, friend. I suspect Fedot. His story about fleeing from Moscow is an obvious fabrication. I swear by my cross, he is spying on us, under the guise of sending letters to Astrakhan. I am sure he is a spy. And shall you tolerate his presence any further, you shall have to choose: him or me! Yelisei[] I can't get it, eh -- that Yelisei never so much as touches vodka! What sort of a knight from hell is he then? Pardon me, but if the lads see me in the same company with that milksop, I will be laughed at by the entire Sich.
