Also, Geralt bekommt Erfahrungspunkte in Textilienkunde und hat vermutlich Spaß bei der Sache... aber da war ja noch der sich nähernde Elefant. :ugly:
Und ein Wort, das Renfri zwar mal erwähnt hat, aber nicht näher erklärt. :ugly:
Beim Frühstück schwätzen Geralt und Caldemeyn über den Markt, der für den heutigen Tag angesetzt ist, die Kinder quengeln, weil sie hinwollen, und es ist ja gut, daß die Bösewichte gesagt haben, daß sie verschwinden. Denn die waren schon ziemlich böse, die Renfri da im Schlepp hatte. Einige wurden erkannt, darunter auch ...
The half-elf is Civril, a brigand and professional murderer. Apparently, he had something to do with the massacre at Tridam.'
'Where?'
'Tridam. Didn't you hear of it? Everyone was talking about it three . . . Yes, three years ago. The Baron of Tridam was holding some brigands in the dungeons. Their comrades - one of whom was that half-blood Civril - seized a river ferry full of pilgrims during the Feast of Nis. They demanded the baron set those others free. The baron refused, so they began murdering pilgrims, one after another. By the time the baron released his prisoners they'd thrown a dozen pilgrims overboard to drift with the current - and following the deaths the baron was in danger of exile, or even of execution. Some blamed him for waiting so long to give in, and others claimed he'd committed a great evil in releasing the men, in setting a pre— precedent or something. The gang should have been shot from the banks, together with the hostages, or attacked on the boats; he shouldn't have given an inch. At the tribunal the baron argued he'd had no choice, he'd chosen the lesser evil to save more than twenty-five people — women and children - on the ferry.'

Ex-akt. Das Wort 'Scheiße!' wäre hier wohl angebracht. :ugly:
