GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
Outsiders are a rare sight at the Fort. Step carefully around here and you might just leave alive. I'm Antony, master of the hounds.

GREETING

Disgust 50
|
{Killed the mongrels in the arena} Damn it. I thought they had you.
|

GREETING
|
Neutral 50
|
{Caesar dead} It'll be strange not having {KAI-zar} Caesar in command, but Legate Lanius is a strong leader.
|

GREETING

Happy 10
|
{Caesar cured} I'm sure you had to use a lot of healing powder on {KAI-zar} Caesar. Well done.

{Rex hired} The mechanical dog you have with you - where did you get it?

What?

VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic000
|
Goodbye.
|
Neutral 50
|
Later.
|

|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic001
|
I had some questions.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah?
|

|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic002
|
Where does the Legion get its dogs?
|
Neutral 50
|
We breed them, mostly, but sometimes we get some good ones from Denver. That whole city is overrun with them.
|
9
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic003
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
Okay.
|
10
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic004
|
You train these dogs?
|
Neutral 50
|
Been doing it since I was a boy. The mongrels know to listen up when I start talking to them.
|
11
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic005
|
I'm here for Melody's bear.
|
Neutral 50
|
The stupid girl should know by now that even the rags on her back are a privilege. Anyway, my mongrels like their new toy.
|
12
|
Neutral 50
|
Tell you what - you square off with four of my best dogs. No armor and no weapons except a machete. You survive and I let you have the bear.
|
13
|
I'm here for Melody's bear.
|
Neutral 50
|
You ready to fight my mongrels, then?
|
14
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic006
|
Rex? I picked him up in New Vegas.
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh? Such things are common in Denver, but I didn't know that other cities had them as well.
|
15
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic007
|
<Lie> He just started following me one day. I have no idea where he came from.
|
Neutral 50
|
I see. That's very strange.
|
16
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic008
|
Why do you want to know?
|
Neutral 50
|
I ask because Caesar once had a similar pet, but it was lost during a battle.
|
17
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic009 < Barter 50 >
|
Potentially losing four dogs is a very high price to pay for a toy. What about two?
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] All right, two it is. They'll still be more than enough to take you down, I think.
|
18
|
Can't we make some kind of deal?
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] No deal. You and four of my dogs. Not two, not three - four.
|
19
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic011
|
What can you tell me about Legate Lanius?
|
Neutral 50
|
It took years for {KAI-zar} Caesar to conquer Lanius' tribe, and {KAI-zar} Caesar showed mercy to the survivors, allowing them to join the Legion.
|
20
|
Neutral 50
|
Had the positions been reversed, {KAI-zar} Caesar would be dead. Lanius is called the Monster of the East because he never, ever shows mercy.
|
21
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic012
|
You won't mind if I kill them?
|
Neutral 50
|
I think they'll probably end up killing you. I trained them myself. But, if you do win somehow, the mongrels will at least get honorable deaths.
|
22
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic013
|
The mongrels won't touch me. Animals like me.
|
Neutral 50
|
I thought something was wrong. We usually have to pull them off any visitors to the Fort.
|
23
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, that's no fun. Take the bear. I'll find them something else to chew on.
|
24
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic014
|
You thought wrong.
|
Disgust 50
|
Take the bear. I can't believe I let some of my best dogs get killed over this stupid thing.
|
25
|
Neutral 50
|
Your stuff is in the crate next to the arena entrance. Leave it there too long and we'll dump it in the lake.
|
26
|
You thought wrong.
|
Neutral 50
|
Huh. I could've sworn I had that stupid bear on me. Well, tough luck for you, I guess.
|
27
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic015
|
I need to think about this.
|
Neutral 50
|
You do that.
|
28
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic016
|
Let's do this.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good luck - you'll need it.
|
29
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic018
|
Nice dog.
|
Neutral 50
|
Lupa? Yes, she's the mother of a lot of our best dogs. She's getting old, but she's still a tough old bitch. {to Lupa} Aren't you, girl?
|
30
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic019
|
[Reputation] I've done a lot for the Legion. Just hand over the bear already.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yeah, I guess you're right. Here.
|
31
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic020
|
I could use Lupa's brain to fix my cyber-dog.
|
Surprise 50
|
Cyber-dog? Like the ones I've seen up in Denver? I know what you're talking about, and it would make Lupa immortal in a way.
|
32
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic021
|
Is that a yes?
|
Neutral 50
|
You give Lupa a worthy death in the arena, and her brain is yours. Don't let your guard down just because she's old, though.
|
33
|
Neutral 50
|
Oh, and standard arena rules still apply. You don't get to wear armor and you get only a machete for a weapon.
|
34
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic022
|
They have cyber-dogs in Denver?
|
Neutral 50
|
Not too common but you still see 'em around.
|
35
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic023
|
I'm ready to fight Lupa now.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right. {to Lupa} You've been a good dog, Lupa. Die well, girl.
|
36
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic024
|
I'll be back when I'm ready.
|
Neutral 50
|
Take all the time you need, otherwise Lupa will tear your throat out.
|
37
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic025
|
I'm ready to fight Lupa.
|
Neutral 50
|
You sure? Last chance to back out.
|
38
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic028
|
Tell me about yourself.
|
Neutral 50
|
I've been around dogs all my life. They're my life, always were - {pauses, thinking back, as if he's forgotten} all the way back when I was a tribal, one of the Hangdogs, outside Denver.
|
39
|
Neutral 50
|
{Still thinking back} Dogs roamed that city. Our tribe made peace with them. {Scoffs, trying to dismiss painful memory} Thought they were our spirit animals - helped us hunt, provided for us in some lean times.
|
40
|
Anger 10
|
Then the Legion came. {Beat} Good thing, too. {Trying to convince himself} Stronger now, don't need those beliefs anymore.
|
41
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic029
|
How did you end up joining the Legion?
|
Neutral 50
|
When the Legion showed up, we fought, most tribes did. Hangdogs hung out longer than most... {beat} broke us by throwing our dogs on the fire.
|
42
|
Sad 10
|
{A little quiet, to himself, painful memory - scornful he ever believed this} So we gave up, our elders couldn't bear the idea of our spirit animals burning in the afterlife.
|
43
|
Anger 10
|
{Rallies} Still, Caesar was impressed enough to conscript us, use our skills with dogs to join the Legion as houndmasters.
|
44
|
VFreeformTheFortFortAntonyTopic030
|
What do you know about the Burned Man?
|
Anger 20
|
{hiding his fear behind angry denial} He's a story to frighten the younger Legionaries. He's dead - no man, no matter how tough, could survive a fall into the Grand Canyon.
