Hmmm... That glint in yer eye... Yer no stranger to violence, are ye? Got a job for a hard lass/lad like ye, I have!
Run along to the river east o' here, an' gut me three smallmouth orobon, will ye? They've been gobblin' down all the fishies what Buscarron serves us for our dinners, an' we can't have that now, can we?
- DE Drei weniger, und das natürliche Gleichgewicht dürfte wiederhergestellt sein. ‘Three fewer, and the natural balance should be restored.’ English complains they eat the fish Buscarron serves for dinner; German says three fewer restores the natural balance.
Come back to me dirtied up with fish guts an' I'll see yer treated like a proper Druthers regular.
Report to Auphiliot.

Take care o' them orobon, did ye? Reckon I'll be tuckin' into a bowl o' river trout afore long, then! Or a nice bit o' pike, perhaps...
Ol' Buscarron, ye know, he's always done right by me, no matter what I might've gotten up to back in the day. So I don't take kindly to them as would make trouble for him─even if they're fish.
Ye seem like a trustworthy sort, an' I can see ye've got some skills from yer work as a 'venturer. Let's see ye put 'em to work for the old man, eh?
