• That day Lisbon was seething with people hoping to get a glimpse of the fleet leaving to seek a route to India.

• 129
• Merchant
  Is that the Admiral? He's still wet behind the ears! He can't hope to get all the way to India in that rowboat!

• 130
• Young Townsman
  But they say none can stand against him when he stands at the helm of a warship.
  A genius, they say, so he might just be able to do it.

• 131
• Young Boy
  There's no need to get excited about a little expedition to India, honestly.

• 132
• Young Townsman
  Ah, if it isn't Alvero.

• 133
• Alvero
  Once I've got my own big ship I'll be heading off to the land of gold, far to the east, way beyond India...!

• 134
• Merchant
  Enough with your tall tales, though I know how much you love 'em...
  What about the voyage we invested in, eh?

• 135
• Alvero
  Of course, of course.
  I've made a killing, thanks to you.
  28,000 ducats.

• 136
• Young Townsman
  Wow, that's what I call profit! What's our cut?

• 137
• Alvero
  3,000 ducats a piece, I think you'll find.
  Juan, pay the gentlemen.

• 138
• Juan
  Right away...

• 139
• Suspicious Man
  ......

• 140
• Merchant
  You succeed every time! Is there a trick to it you'd like to share?

• 141
• Alvero
  It's simple, really.
  You just need to listen to the sailors in the harbour and you'll pick up all sorts of juicy money-making possibilities.

• 142
• Juan
  Hey!

• 143
• Suspicious Man
  Move! Out the way!

• 144
• Alvero
  Juan? What just happened?!

• 145
• Juan
  That man just snatched the money I was holding for you!

• 146
• Alvero
  Juan, concentrate.
  Did you see his face?

• 147
• Juan
  No, it all happened so fast...
  I'm sorry! Uwaaaah!

• 148
• Alvero
  Hey, stop crying.
  In a crowd of this many people someone is bound to have seen the robber's face.
  Listen up, peasants! Anyone here see the brigand who stole my man here's pack? I'll pay 3,000 ducats for any information!

• 149
• Juan
  ...I'm sorry, I was all distracted...
  I'm sorry...!

• 150
• Steward
  This is the Sarmiento Company House.
  If you have no business here, please leave.

• 151
• Alvero
  You there, did you see him? Come on, please! Tell us what you saw!

• 152
• What do you want to do?

• 153
• Describe the robber

• 154
• Don't describe the robber

• 155
• Alvero
  It looks like you are the only witness! Please, help us out!

• 156
• Alvero
  Thanks! I'll have no problem catching up and having a little chat with the fellow now.

• 157
• Young Seafarer
  Hey, Alvero.
  Something wrong?

• 158
• Alvero
  The pack with our money in was stolen! The robber has a green vest and small moustache.
  Tear the town apart!

• 159
• Young Seafarer
  No problem!

• 160
• Alvero
  That rat has no where to run now!

• 161
• Alvero
  There we go.
  A signal from the direction of the square!

• 162
• Head directly behind you to reach the square.

• 163
• Juan
  ...Please, give it back! We all earned that money together!

• 164
• Young Seafarer
  He was here, a man in a green vest! He ran toward the market as soon as I approached him!

• 165
• Alvero
  Right, after him!

• 166
• Young Seafarer
  The market is that way, beyond the guild quarter and the item shop.

• 167
• Young Seafarer
  Owww...
  he hit me in the face with a sack of coins! But he ran toward the overlook, a dead end! We've got him trapped now.

• 168
• Young Seafarer
  The overlook is up the top of those stairs, there.

• 169
• Alvero
  Right! Let's go!

• 170
• Young Seafarer
  The overlook is up the top of those stairs, there.

• 171
• Thief
  Curses! A dead end!

• 172
• Alvero
  Give it up.

• 173
• Thief
  My business failed and left me with debts I can never repay! If only the market had held out for another six months...!

• 174
• Alvero
  ......

• 175
• Thief
  I'm yours to do with as you wish, then.
  Hand me over to the officials! See if I care!

• 176
• Alvero
  You're one pathetic thief.
  If I give you a little loan will you promise to scurry off back into the sticks?

• 177
• Alvero
  1,000 ducats.
  A merchant has no one to blame but himself for bankruptcy, remember that.
  This is just a loan, one that I expect it to be repaid.

• 178
• Thief
  ...Thank you, thank you so much.
  Please, master, tell me your name.

• 179
• Alvero
  I'm Alvero.
  Alvero of Lisbon.
  That's all you need to know.

• 180
• Thief
  Thank you, Master Alvero.
  I will repay you, I swear it.

• 181
• Alvero
  Now then, we have someone else here to thank.
  You haven't told me your name yet, have you.

• 182
• What do you want to do?

• 183
• Say your name.

• 184
• Don't tell him your name.

• 185
• Alvero
  Don't be like that.
  I'm trying to thank you here.

• 186
• Alvero
  Okay, Player, is it.
  You really helped out back there.
  Allow me to introduce myself properly.
  I am Alvero, a merchant plying his trade in the seas around here.
  The others you saw back there are my partners.

• 187
• Juan
  ...Phew, finally caught up with you! Hey? Did he get away again?

• 188
• Alvero
  This little fellow, for instance, is called Juan.

• 189
• Juan
  ...? Ah, right, nice to meet you! I'm Juan!

• 190
• Alvero
  I need to give you this, too, don't I.
  In gratitude for helping with the search.

• 191
• Juan
  ...One more thing, Alvero.

• 192
• Alvero
  Yeah? What now?

• 193
• Juan
  Don't you have to pay those men down in the harbour, too?

• 194
• Alvero
  Ah...! You're right, we ran off right in the middle...
  Thanks for reminding me, Player.
  I need to go and pay my partners their share of my latest deal, then.
  Hopefully we'll meet again soon!

• 22002
• The harbour of Lisbon was filled with excitement at the departure of the fleet to find the shipping route to India.
  Player came across a young trader named Alvero who was paying his investors their share of the profits.
  The investors were speaking fondly of Alvero's money-making scheme.
  However, a thief that was standing nearby quickly grabbed the bag of money from Alvero's friend Juan and took off running.

• 22003
• Having caught a glimpse of the thief as he passed by, Player was asked to help in the search for him.

• 22004
• With his sailor friends searching the town, Alvero finally cornered the thief on some high ground.
  However, upon hearing the thief's pitiful life story, he actually gave the thief some money and sent him on his way.
  And to Player, he promised to repay the favour one day and then returned to his investors.
