Allow me to bless your meal, and recite a beautiful and elaborate prayer which shall bring you luck in battle. For this I only ask a few mugs of cool beer! God bless, holy father! Why are you wandering the pubs, eh? "For a while I am... How should I say... I have ceased to take up the holy orders. I am the priest Spasokukotsky. The bishop of Riga gave me a small village parish, but within the week he sent his sacrist there to check how well I was fulfilling my duties. After the Sunday mass this bore came to my humble cell. First he inquired what a parish woman was doing in my bed, and then had the gall to start preaching to me. He explained that one should not spin the censer over one's head during the sermon -- and I endured his condescension well enough. He said that prayers should be concluded by the word "Amen", and not by the word I spoke at the end, and still I remained silent. The parish loved my way of doing things, you understand! But then, when he began to shout that he saw goods from my Church being sold at the Riga market, I could no longer stand it any longer, and beat him with a staff so hard he barely made it out alive. Learning of this, the bishop sent a mercenary band to deal with me. I did not wait for them to come, but took my belongings and fled to the woods. Soon I found out I had been defrocked and excommunicated by the bishop. A priest, even a defrocked priest, would be a welcome addition to the party. I accept this offer with pleasure, my son! I swear by Sweet Mary Mother of God, you shall not regret it. Church services is not my only trade. I wield a pike quite well, and if you should ever need to persuade someone, I can do it even if it's a dead body. I do detest cowards, however... I hope your quick tongue will be use to us. If you wish to join an army, you should take off your robes and your cross, and put on a cuirass. Perhaps we shall talk again once you have made up your mind. Nay, I'm fed up with talking to you. Heh, what an interesting surprise... Go now, holy father, God will provide... Reencounter[] So now I am wondering where life shall lead.... Retirement[] Listen, commander! Last night I had a vision. Mother Mary said to go to Riga, visit the bishop there, and recant. He shall renounce his excommunication, and return me to the parish. It is not the first vision like this that I have had. I had better go... Rehire[] It is you, commander! Oh, the sacrist of the Riga Cathedral told me that believing dreams is a sin! The days I spent in the diocesan jail were dreadful. Anyway, you can fully count on me. Story: Krakov[] Krakov. The ancient capital of Poland. A city of great kings and zealous Catholics. It was here, in 1386, that the Lithuanian Prince Jogaila was baptized. And later, his marriage with Queen Jadwiga laid the first stones in the union of Poland and Lithuania in our great Commonwealth. That city is more than a homeland to me. Here one can feel the breath of antiquity... Like Quotes[] Nogai[] I just wanted to say that Nogai is the finest man in the entire company, even though he is Muslim. It's strange, but we quickly found common ground. If only I could turn him to Christianity, the Bishop would surely give me back my frock. Dislike Quotes[] Companion #1[] Here's what I say, commander. That old {s11} is a cruel man. I can't even take a step without him accusing me of all manner of deadly sins. His scabrous jokes about me make the unwashed soldiery laugh. I shall not be able to tolerate this forever. Mamai[] Virgin Mary be my witness, the Cossack Mamai is verily a devil-spawn! I mean this quite apart from his hatred of us upright Catholics. I have seen much, but never have I witnessed a man who can drink a full bottle of vodka in the morning and then wander around the camp looking for a brawl... Aye, that I have seen for the first time in my life. In our last fight he almost got me killed, confusing me for the enemy. And his yells at me -- "Damned schismatic!" I come from an old gentry house of Spasokukotskis, and I shall not suffer some serf to mock me.
