## Quotes

* **When asked Who are you?** - They call me Mans the Dictator. I am a warrior from the north now bound to Uktak and its goblin-folk.
* **When asked What is this place?** - This is Uktak village, it's a peaceful place, home to a bunch of swamp goblins.
* **When asked Tell me about Darkmarsh** - Swamps, lots of swamps and hostility. Still it keeps the place well hidden, not many pass through here.
* **When asked Tell me about Uktak** - It's a peaceful village, I don't know a lot about it's origin but these are good folk, I taught them to speak better but I'm still getting used to their culture. Self-fighting, paying a coin to ask a question, lots of things I don't understand.
* **When asked Tell me about the hut with the 'x' banner** - They keep a pot in there, they rave about it but I swear I've shat in prettier pots in my time.
* **When asked Tell me about the hut with the 'G' banner** - That's Grabtork, don't waste your time with him, they don't call him the swindler for nothing.
* **When asked How did a human end up here?** - I was adventuring and deciding where to turn by flipping a coin at every crossing. I cursed my luck but ended up in this swamp. As I got further in I noticed some men smuggling crates through the swamplands and followed them, they saw me but I was able to kill one of them. The other two battered me with their axes and I saw certain death. I was hit in the head and remember nothing but awoke in a hut here. The swamp goblins had been watching and a moment before my certain death they charged forth and chased away those smuggling bastards. Since that day I have pledged myself to defend this village and it's people for saving my life. On my honour I shall protect them until the end of my days.
* **Addressing the player if they attack Uktak** - If you wish to raid this village you must know that I owe them a life debt, I will fight one of your champions to the death!
* **Addressing the player if they withdraw from the attack** - Thank you and peace to you.
* **Addressing the player if they attack but have no champions** - If you wish to raid this village you must know I owe them a life debt. I see you have no champion who will fight me, so perhaps instead I can offer you something of value to me as a tribute in return for a promise of this villages safety, what say you?
* **Addressing the player if they attack again after accepting Mans' tribute** - You have no champions for me to fight and I have already given you a payment to not attack... there is no more I can do. I have failed to uphold my life debt to the goblins of Uktak, a life stolen cannot be lived.'
* **Addressing the player after defeating the players champion** - Do not take this to heart please move on from your ambitions on this village.'
