Lost in Translation Objectives

• Find a translator.

  • Start: I've discovered that a vagrant works at the neighbouring mill, who curses in Hungarian when he is playing hazard. I should go and ask him if he won't help me with the interrogation.

  • Completed: I've invited a vagrant from the neighbouring mill to help with the interrogation. I've heard he knows Hungarian. But as can be expected of vagrants, who go around with a hungry belly, he was only interested in how much he'd get for it. But in the end he agreed to help me interrogate the Cuman.

• Free the Cuman!

  • Start: Whatever the truth about the Cuman's alleged stash, he must stand before Sir Radzig to be judged and it's my duty to bring him to Rattay. Only the miller won't hear a word of it, so I'm left with no other choice than to snatch the captive from him.

  • Completed: It was clear as day that the Cuman should be swinging from the Rattay gallows. But the miller refused to recognize this fact and wanted to keep the prisoner for his own personal gain. Therefore, I had to make a daring move. I freed the Cuman. But yes, it was only so I could then make a prisoners of him again. But this time at the right place--at the Rattay jail.

• Take the prisoner.

  • Start: Whatever the truth about the Cuman's alleged stash, he must stand before Sir Radzig to be judged and it's my duty to bring him to Rattay. The miller wasn't too happy about that, but when I explained things to him, he grudgingly agreed. His millhands should hand the captive over to me.

  • Completed: It was clear as day that the Cuman should be swinging from the Rattay gallows. But the miller refused to recognize this fact and wanted to keep the prisoner for his own personal gain. Therefore, I had to get involved and explain to him the whole situation. In the end, he allowed me to take the prisoner.

• Bring half of the bounty back to the Budin miller.

  • Start: I promised the miller I'd bring him back half of the bounty for the Cuman.

• With the help of the vagrant, interrogate the Cuman prisoner.

  • Start: Everything is ready for the interrogation. All that needs to be done is return to Budin for the prisoner.

  • Completed: In the end it turned out that the Cuman really does have some money stashed away somewhere. Of course, he can't give me the directions to it, but he says he can guide me there personally.

• Follow the Cuman.

  • Start: I've made a deal with the Cuman. He'll show me where he says he's hiding the money.

• Take the captive to Rattay.

  • Start: It's time to take the captive to Rattay to face justice.

  • Failed: Along the way, I discovered to my surprise that the Cuman spoke a few words of our language. He begged me not to take him to Rattay and promised in return that he'd lead me to his stash. That was an offer I couldn't refuse, so we set out to find the loot, though it remained to be seen whether the heathen could be trusted. As for my side of the bargain, I'd decide on the Cuman's fate later.

  • Completed: Along the way, I discovered to my surprise that the Cuman spoke a few words of our language. He begged me not to take him to Rattay and promised in return that he'd lead me to his stash. It was a tempting offer, but I wouldn't stoop so low as let the bastard escape justice for the sake of a little silver. The gallows was where he belonged, and the gallows was where he was going.

• Let the Cuman lead you to his stash.

  • Start: I agreed with the captive Cuman that he'd lead me to his hidden loot. I'd better keep a very close eye on him, though.

  • Failed: We arrived at the place where the Cuman claimed he had his stash hidden, but instead of loot, I found there a Cuman camp. The bastard had led me right into a trap and of course he fled for the hills at the first chance he got.

• Capture the Cuman.

  • Start: The Cuman might have cheated me, but that doesn't mean I am going to give up so easily.

• Capture the Cuman. - I've killed him.

  • Completed: The Cuman tried to escape, of course. It was not his salvation, however. He has received what was duly deserved for his betrayal. Certainly, it would have been better to see him swinging from the Rattay gallows, and I probably would have gotten a reward for it to boot as well. But that was all together a dangerous affair and killing him was decidedly much simpler than dragging him across half the land again.

• Capture the Cuman. - Take him to Rattay.

  • Completed: The Cuman tried to escape, of course. It was not his salvation, however. Once we recaptured him, he tried to talk his way out of it, promising me money and gold, but this time around I am not falling for it of course. The exectioner in Rattay will take care of him.

• Capture the Cuman. - I'll give it another go with him.

  • Completed: The Cuman tried to escape, of course. It was not his salvation, however. Once we recaptured him, he tried to talk his way out of it. But God knows what the thought of money does to me. I'll give it another go with him, but this time, I'll be more careful.

• Take the Cuman to Rattay.

  • Start: I must take the Cuman to Rattay; this time I hope there will be no troubles.

• Follow the Cuman.

  • Completed: The journey to the stash took quite a while, but eventually we got there and, true enough, the Cuman's ill-gotten gains were hidden there in a hollow tree stump. And then it was time to settle accounts with him. I don't think he ever really believed I'd let him go, but a drowning man will grasp at any straw. At least he got some small mercy out of the deal, because it's better to die in the woods by the sword than to swing from the gallows.

• Follow the Cuman.

  • Completed: The journey to the stash took quite a while, but eventually we got there and, true enough, the Cuman's ill-gotten gains were hidden there in a hollow tree stump. And then it was time to settle accounts with him. I don't think he really believed I'd let him go, but a drowning man will grasp at any straw. Still, a deal is a deal. He kept his part of the bargain, so I let him go as promised.

• Follow the Cuman.

  • Completed: The journey to the stash took quite a while, but eventually we got there and, true enough, the Cuman's ill-gotten gains were hidden there in a hollow tree stump. And then it was time to settle accounts with him. I don't think he ever really believed I'd let him go, but a drowning man will grasp at any straw. And how could I? A Cuman cutthroat, a mercenary fighting for Sigismund, an enemy of our king, Sir Radzig and every Christian in this land - it wouldn't be right to let him walk free. And as for the valuables he wanted to exchange for his freedom? Plunder, stolen from honest folk. So we headed for Rattay, much to his disappointment.

• Get your bounty from the Bailiff.

  • Start: The Cuman is in jail and now I have to see the Bailiff about the bounty for him.

  • Completed: As soon as the Cuman was safely locked up, I went to the Bailiff to get the bounty offered for him. Not only was I rewarded in Groschen, but I was also commended, because this was the first Cuman to be taken alive here.

• The vagrant is lying to me!

  • Completed: The whole interrogation seemed fishy to me, so I shook the truth out of the vagrant. And just as I expected, it was all a trick. The Cuman told the vagrant where his stash was hidden in exchange for convincing me to let him lead me on a wild goose chase, no doubt right into a trap. Only they didn't pull the wool over my eyes.

• Find the Cuman's stash.

  • Start: I have to follow the vagrant's directions to the Cuman's treasure. Here's hoping he wasn't lying this time.

• Talk to the miller.

  • Start: The interrogation of the Cuman turned up some interesting facts. I should go and share them with the miller.

• Bring the miller his half of the treasure.

  • Start: I promised the miller I'd give him half of the bounty for the Cuman.

  • Completed: I promised the miller I'd share the bounty with him, so I went back to the mill to keep my bargain. He was quite surprised. Evidently he hadn't expected that. If he'd been in my shoes, he'd probably have kept the coin for himself. Not me, though - my word is my bond.

• Take the Cuman's stash.

  • Start: The Cuman's stash is hidden in an old hollow tree stump.
