@match hope That is the best news I've heard in days! @match hi I will be with you shortly.

@match poison|poisoned Yes. I suspect the King was poisoned. The question is by whom? My only guess is the Baron Rellik, since he stands the most to gain. @match hi Sorry, I cannot get over the fatc that our good king was poisoned.

@match hope That is good to hear friend. Alas, I am more interested in returning to my home. The treachory of human ways can wear down one's faith. @match home Elcion, a few leagues to the east. @match hi I am far from home in this place, so far from hope.

@match hope <hic> I should sober up. We need to find evidence of who poisoned the King. @match evidence The court will require it for a conviction. @match * Say, fella! Howz about 'nother drink?

@match hi We're all sad about the King.

@match poison|poisoned I never considered that, but it might just be true. You should tell people there is still hope. @match hope Yes, a cure may be found. @match hi Hello, stranger. These are bad times, but I still have hope!
