>Hail, Arbogast

Hello there Snow, do you come seeking the truth?

こんにちは。あなたはthe truth（真実）を探しているのか？

>I seek the truth

The truth is a precarious thing, twisted and torn by those that would deceive for their own nefarious purposes.
That is why there are people like me to guide the ignorant masses that know no better than to believe that which they are told.

真実は危険だ。自らの極悪非道な目的のために歪んでいる。
それは何故であるか。無知な労働者階級を導く私のような人々がいるからだ。話す事を信じてはいけない。

(Miller)
Yeah, you tell em Arbogast!
I bet this one doesn't even know what's going on right under his nose in this here city.
Like for example, you probably don't even know the truth about about his importantness Phenic Dionicas do you?

私はあなたが下の街にさえ行く事を知らないと断言できる。
例えば、あなたが恐らく真実を知りさえしないように、Phenic Dionicasも知らないだろう？

>Who is Phenic Dionicas?

He that battles what he truly is only truly battles himself.
Phenic Dionicas for years has made quite a show of his war on the Vampyres of Tenebrous.
This misdirection of truth serves only to keep people from discovering that he himself is a foul demon of the night.
Miller and I, for our singular vision of that which is true, are not well liked in this city and so cannot obtain proof for your disbelieving eyes.

彼は本当に戦っているのか。
Phenic Dionicasは何年間もTenebrousのVampyreと戦うショーを見せてきた。
そのショーは、ただ彼が邪悪な悪魔であるという事実から目を逸らさせているのだ。
Millerと私は正しき目をもっているがゆえに、この街で好まれていない。そして証明する事もできない。

>What proof?

You wish to see the truth for yourself?
That is good, you will be taking your first step down a winding road to the only fulfillment this existence has to offer: enlightenment.
Take this flask of water, I have blessed it such that it will singe the skin of the unholy.
Go to Phenic Dionicas and give it to him, then you will see... you will see.

あなたは自分自身のために真実を見たいか？
それは良いことだ。それが第一歩だ。
この瓶を受け取りなさい。その聖水は神聖でない者の皮膚を焦がすでしょう。
Phenic Dionicasの所に行き、彼に水を掛けなさい。
それからあなたは・・・真実を見るであろう。

(Miller)
Yeah, splash it right in his unliving face!

奴の顔に水をぶっ掛けろ！

Phenic Dionicas looks at you and smiles despite the fact that you have splashed water all over him- he does not appear to be burning at all.

'Oh, excuse me.
You seem to have spilled your water, here have some of mine my friend.
Good day to you, Snow,'

he says.

Phenic Dionicasはあなたを見、そしてあなたが彼の体中に水をかけたというのにもかかわらず平然と微笑む。

「おお、済みません。
あなたは水をこぼしたようですね。ここに残りがありますよ」

(Arbogast)
He simply gave this to you?
Cunning indeed for him to cover his weakness so thoroughly- he must have powerful protective enchantments in place, no doubt put in place by his good friend and associate, Tsaph Katta!

Your faction standing with The Truth got better.
You gain experience!!

彼があなたにこれを渡したのか？
彼は弱点を予めカバーしているとは狡猾だな。
彼は疑いなく友人とパートナー、Tsaph Kattaによって配置された強力な防御の魔法を持っているはずだ。！

>Who is Tsaph Katta?

When you fake your death to discredit another you only discredit yourself when another sees your death was faked.
Yes, you heard me correctly, Tsaph Katta lives on here in this city, can you guess who it is he pretends to be?

もしあなたが死んだと見せかけた場合、そのことを知っているのはあなた自身だけです。
ええっとつまりTsaph Kattaはこの街で生き続けているのです。
あなたは彼が誰かに成り代わっているか言い当てることができますか？

(Miller)
Ooh! I know, I know! Nathyn Illuminious!!!

おお！ 知っている、知っている！ Nathyn Illuminiousだ!!!

(Arbogast)
Yes, yes, I know you know... very good Miller

Miller beams a smile your way.

そうそう、よろしいMiller・・・私はあなたが知っていることは判ってますよ。

Millerはあなたに微笑む。

>Who is Nathyn Illuminious?

Yes, wealthy philanthropist Nathyn Illuminious is simply a guise for the infamous Tsaph Katta, hiding in plain sight.
Few are aware of this truth my friend, but no doubt, were you to acquire and peruse ''Nathyn's'' personal memoirs, you would see him for what he truly is.
If you can find it, bring it to me, but do not hand it to me in plain sight- we would be wise not to call attention to our business.
Wrap it up in that silver wrapping paper, as though you are bringing me a gift... yes, a gift.

そう、金持ちのNathyn Illuminiousは、明らかに悪名高きTsaph Kattaだよ。
我が友人以外、ほとんどがこの真実について知らない。
しかしもしあなたが「Nathyn」の個人的な日記を手に入れて読めば、彼が本当にTsaph Kattaである事が判るだろう。
あなたがそれを見つけてここに持って来てほしいが、ここまで持ってくるのに一目で判るようでは我々の商売に差し障りがある。
あなたが私に贈り物として・・・そう贈り物を持って来てくれているかのように、この銀の包装紙で日記を包みなさい。

(Arbogast)
Ahh, you have retrieved the memoirs, let me see.'

Arbogast opens the book and starts flipping through pages,

'Yes here, you... no, wait it must be back... hrmmm, maybe he... but it must... Well, that was pretty clever of old Tsaph Katta, removing any record of who he truly is- probably did it to cover up the fact that Norrath does not really exist.'

Your faction standing with The Truth got better.
You gain experience!!

「あー、ええと、あなたは日記を持って来たようですね。」

Arbogastは本を開いてページをめくり始める

「んーそうそう・・いや、ちょっと待てよ・・・ふむむ、まぁそうだろう。でもこれは・・
ええっと年老いたTsaph Kattaは巧妙だったようだ。
彼が本当に記録を削除したようだ。Norrathが実際には存在しないという事実を隠すために。」

>Norrath does exist.

You are beginning to see the truest truths as the only true truths now, are you not?
That large blue orb that hangs in the Luclin sky from time to time is nothing more than an overgrown comet.
What appear to be land masses and other geological features are in actuality powerful illusions cast upon the comet by Tsaph Katta himself so that panic does not spread amongst the ignorant masses.
I am not one to spread conjecture, but it is possible that Katta's astronomers have discovered that the comet is hurtling slowly toward Luclin and will destroy all life on the planet, so you can see why he would want to keep the truth about the [Exodus] from his journal.

あなたは今最も本当の真実を唯一の真実だと思っているね。
時折Luclinの空にあるその大きな青い球は、育ち過ぎた彗星の何ものでもない。
あれはTsaph Katta自身によって彗星にかけられらた錯覚である。パニックが無知な労働者階級の間に広がらないように。
しかし、彗星がLuclinの方へ向かっており、惑星上の生命をすべて破壊する事をKattaの天文学者が発見したことはありえます。
だから彼が[Exodus(大移動)]の事を書き残しているのかが理解できます。

>What exodus?

The Exodus is the single biggest lie propagated onto the people of Katta Castellum in the known history of the intelligent races.
Hogwash I tell you.

ExodusはKatta Castellum の人々に伝えられる歴史の中で最も大きな嘘なのです。
くだらない話だが。

(Miller)
A bloody, boldfaced lie!

(Arbogast)
A story told to children.
Tsaph Katta wove together a tale of Seru trying to kill him on the fantasy world of ''Norrath'' and how the entire combine fled here to escape from him... a wheel of lies, do you see how they interconnect?
Why, I'll bet that even in Shadowhaven, the very site of this alleged ''Exodus'' and home to one of the grandest libraries you will ever see, not a single shred of reliable evidence regarding such an event could be found.
HA! You bring me a book on this ''Exodus'' and Miller here will eat his hat!
Especially if the book is wrapped in that gold paper I gave you...

子供に聞かせるおとぎ話の類です。
Tsaph Katta は「Norath」というおとぎ話の世界の中で、Seruからの魔の手から逃れる為にCombine帝国から逃げたというらしいが、本当なのかな？
というのも、私はShadowhavenの大図書館でさえ、「Exodus」についての資料を見つけることができなかったのですよ。
で、あなたが私にこの「Exodus」に関する本を持って来れるなら、Millerが帽子を食べると約束しよう！

>Hail Beriol Talorakoir

Hail Snow.
And good day to you.
What brings you to my quarters today?
Do you wish to learn more about the [magic] that we study in our hallowed section of the Shadowhaven?

>Do you know of Exodus?

Ahh, the event that started it all it was the strife between Seru and Tsaph Katta that ultimately brought us here to Luclin.
Those must have been interesting times but, being over twenty generations Luclin born, I could only guess.
One of these days I would like to read up on the subject, but what little we do have about it is always checked out.
If that's what you came looking for, good luck- check with Rianna, she is usually up on those things.

Luclinに我々を連れて来たそもそもの原因はSeruとTsaph Kattaの争いであった。
それは興味深い。しかし２０世代も前の事だ。私はただ推測することしかできない。
我々は全ての資料をチェックしています。
あなたが探しているものはRiannaが知っているかもしれません。

>Hail, Rianna Birchard

Rianna Birchard turns to you and smiles brightly,

'Hello, Snow. Lots of work to be done- books to shelve, lessons to learn...
I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I feel so at home here.'

>Do you know of Exodus?

Wow, what an interesting subject- almost impossible to gather hard evidence on, even for me.
It seems that everyone was so taken off guard by the sudden change of scenery that no one bothered to keep any written record of the time.
First they had to figure out where they were and once they did there was so much disagreement as to what they should be doing- try to get home, stay where they were and settle in or put some distance between them and Seru should he and his people try to follow, which, of course they did.
All this lead to the formations of three of the four major cities here on Luclin, all with... oh listen to me go on, sorry.
We have only one book on the subject, but Peqi borrowed it just the other day.

うぉっ、何か面白そうですね。
突然の環境の変化の為、そのころは記録を残そうとしなかったと思われます。
最初に彼らはどこにいるのか理解しなければならなかった。そして場所がわかった時に、いろいろな意見が出された。
元の世界に戻るか、ここに残るか。その中でもSeruと距離をおくかおかないか。
この星の４つの主要都市の中で３つはそうして始まった。
我々はそれについての１冊の本を持っている、しかしPeqiが先日それを借用しました。

>Where is Peqi?

Rianna Birchard frowns a bit for the first time this conversation,

'Peqi... Let me tell you, I like just about everyone but if that little gnome never found his way back to this library I wouldn't be too disappointed.'

Rianna Birchardはここで初めて顔をしかめて話す

「Peqi・・・ 私にあなたにだけ話しますが、私はほぼ皆が好きです。
しかしもしその小さいGnomeだけは戻ってこなくても心配などしないでしょう。」

(Arbogast)
Arbogast looks taken aback for a moment before collecting himself,

'Get your hat out of your mouth, Miller- this book is a fraud!
It was clearly planted there by Tsaph Katta.
Look at this, umm... handwriting!
Yes, Look at this handwriting.
I have clearly underestimated his penchant for skullduggery.'

Arbogast, completely sure of himself once again, leans in and speaks softly to you,

'Now that you have witnessed these clear, undeniable truths for yourself, how would you like to go on a bit of an expedition for us?''

Your faction standing with The Truth got better.
You gain experience!!

Arbogastは一瞬不意を突かれたような風に見える

「帽子なんか咥えるの止めなさい、Millerよ。 この本は偽物だ！
明らかにTsaph Kattaによって捏造された物だ。
ほら、・・・この手書きの部分を！
この手書きの部分を見なさい。
彼の力を過小評価しすぎた」

Arbogastは、落ち着かせる為に壁に寄りかかり静かに話をする

「この明確な否定し難い真実を目撃した我々のために、ちょっと旅に出てもらいたいのだが？」

>I would like to go on a bit of an expedition for you

(Arbogast)
Ahhh, excellent... I am glad to see your interest piqued.
It is the truth that will liberate the masses when the masses fail to liberate the truth.
To continue to divine and demystify the truth from the mistruth, I employ a powerful component known to the Akheva as 'Akuel xi ans Vius' which translated means 'Thing that tells Truth'

おぅぅぅぅ、素晴らしい・・・。私は嬉しいよ。
労働者階級が真理を開放することに失敗したとき、労働者階級を自由にするのは真実である。
真実を捜し求めつづける為に、私はAkhevaの「Akuel xi ans Vius」、意味は「真実を告げるもの」

(Yavik Teralin)
It translates to 'Gift of the Dark' you fool!

それは「暗闇の贈り物」のことだよ。お前馬鹿だな。

(Arbogast)
Oh, the foolish and naive, they are the salt of the land... anyhow, bring me two of these wrapped in the black paper you have and I shall reward you, my new ally of truth, with a cherished robe that was given us by Seru himself.
Isn't that right Miller? Miller...

おお、愚かなる者よ。そして世間知らずよ、それは塩だ。それを２つ黒紙に包んで持ってきなさい。
そうすればあなたに、我ら真実の新しい同盟者、Seru自身によって我々に与えられた大切なローブをもって報いるであろう。
そうだよなMiller？Miller・・・

(Arbogast)
Oh, would you look at that?

Your faction standing with The Truth got better.
You gain party experience!!


Miller looks a bit distressed and says to Arbogast, 'You said he would die getting these and we could keep...' '

Arbogast silences Miller with a kick under the table and smiles broadly at you,

'Well done and my very sincere thanks to you.
The cloak is in the bank, Miller and I each hold a piece of it.
We will go get it for you now.'

Miller and Arbogast lean in close to each other and discuss this in whispers for a moment before getting up and heading out, Miller looking most dejected.


Millerが少し悲しそうに見える。そしてArbogastに言う

「あなたはこれを手に入れることが出来ずに彼が死ぬだろうと言った、そして我々はこれをもっていることができたのに・・・」

Arbogastはテーブルの下でMillerに蹴りを入れて静かにさせ、そしてあなたに微笑む。

「お見事だ。そしてあなたに感謝する。
Cloakは銀行にある、Millerと私はそれぞれ一片を持っている。
我々はあなたのためにそれを取りに行きましょう」

MillerとArbogastはお互いに擦り寄り、そして落胆しているMillerを起こして、外に出る前に何かヒソヒソと話している。


(Arbogast)
Right then, let's get going Miller.

Miller hesitantly rises from his chair and follows.

Miller and Arbogast do their business with the bank, Miller retrieving a heavy brown cloak and Arbogast a beautiful golden clasp.
They look up at each other, unable to bear the thought of actually parting with their treasures when Arbogast says,

'You know what? I think we'll keep them.
Thanks for your help, don't be a stranger.
Come now Miller, let's not be a bother.'

With that, they both tear off out the door, weapons suddenly drawn.

よし、行こう。

MillerとArbogastは一緒に銀行に行く。
Millerは茶色のCloakを、Arbogastは美しい金色の留め金を取り戻す。
彼らは、お互いに見つめあう。貴重品を手放すのが惜しいようだ。
そしてArbogast が言う

「何が言いたい？ 私はこれを手放さない。
あなたの手助けには礼を言う。
いい加減にしなさいMiller。迷惑を掛けないように。」

そして彼らはドアから離れる。

(Miller)
Wait for me!
