===Bath===

{{spoiler|start}}

(*): Welcome to Bath, town o' baths! The perfect place for (a trav'ller to rest ('is/'er)/trav'llers to rest their) achy bones after a long time on the road.

(*): Have you seen the armour in the church already? It's amazin'!

(*): Oh Bladud, brave knight of olde ♪

 Clad in armour what gleamed like gold ♪

 In battle, you was knocked out cold ♪

(*): ...No, 'e's no good, neither. I been tryin' to make up a song about Bladud, but 'e's not goin' all that well.

(*): Hmm... I took the guided tour to see the famous Bladud's armour, but it didn't look like anything special to me.

(*): In fact, it just looked like some cheap substitute.

(*): I wouldn't be surprised if someone had stolen the real armour and put that rubbish in its place!

(*): Ah, I feel ten years younger! It was my son that brought me here.

(*): I'm a lucky fellow to have such a caring lad to look after me.

(*): Travel far enough south from 'ere, an' you come to a shippin' town called Porthtrunnel.

(*): That's where the ships leave from to go to them foreign places you trav'llers are always gallivantin' off to.

(Character) examines the gravestone.

"Here lies Sir Bladud. Brave warrior and saviour of Bath."

(*): Must 'ave quite a thirst comin' into the pub at this time in the aft'noon, eh?

(*): I came here with my dad. Thought I'd better show him I don't ignore him all the time!

(*): They say the bath waters here make your skin clean and beautiful.

(*): But...I really don't think I could get any cleaner, or more beautiful! Oh dear, what's a poor girl to do?

(*): You can't come inside 'ere, (bay/maid). If it's shoppin' you want, come 'round t'other way.

(*): Aaaah... There's not many folk 'ere who be wantin' to buy weapons. Not in a spa town like this. I've got more free time than a-

(*): 'Old your 'orses! You en't a customer, is you!? You should speak up if you wanna buy somethin'!

(*): I don't know. Maybe I should just shut up shop an' go for a soak. No customers are gonna come now, are they?

(*): Some people say there's a ghost in that there graveyard. But I don't know if I believe it.

(*): You'd like Sister 'Ilda to tell you about the town 'ero, Bladud, would you? Yes, 'e was a very great warrior.

Sister 'Ilda: Many years ago, when the town was attacked by monsters, it was Bladud that saw 'em off.

Sister 'Ilda: 'E stood tall 'til the end, 'e did. It was only the very last monster what finished 'im off, but Bladud made sure 'e took the monster with 'im!

Sister 'Ilda: So it's Bladud we've got to thank for the wonderful town we live in 'ere today.

(*): Ah! Don't look! I'm just about to get in the bath, you dirty old man!

(*): Do you want to come in too? All girls together!

(*): Oh, my! I've never seen such tiny- I'm sorry. How rude of me. I suppose you took after your father, did you?

(*): I be Bladud, I be. The armour I used to wear was called the Zenithian Armour.

Bladud: Only some rascal's stolen 'e, an' taken 'e away somewhere.

Bladud: You must find 'e, (trav'ller/trav'llers), an' return 'e to 'is proper restin' place.

Bladud: Me armour! That's me armour!

Bladud: You're (a decent (feller/wench)/decent folk), you are. You can keep me armour. Now be off an' save the world!

(*): Alas, this star-filled night is too beautiful! It makes me want to write poetry and songs...

(*): La la la la lah... ♪ Torneko with his mighty stride ♪ Heads off to cross the desert wide ♪

(*): There was a fella 'ere afore by the name o' Taloon. 'E was... 'E was doin' all right for 'imself, 'e was.

(*): Oh, aye! Aye...I...aye...? Hic! I'm gonna take a leaf outta 'is book. Hic!

(*): This is just atween you an' me, but that innkeeper next door is givin' me an 'eadache the way 'e carries on.

(*): Mind you, if 'e didn't try it on like that, I wouldn't mind bettin' 'e wouldn't get anyone stayin' in that ramshackle old 'ole!

(*): The bath was a great success, see. Look at the old man. Snorin' like a baby!

(*): Ah-phew...

(*): Clearin' up's bad enough without you gettin' in the way! Go on! Away with ya!

(*): Now when was it that that Mr. Taloon was 'round these parts?

(*): 'E was dreadful rich, 'e was. Said 'e was thinkin' o' buyin' a ship, would ya believe?

(*): No! Zzz... The ghost'zzz gonna get me! Zzz... Zzz...

A bright and shiny suit of armour is on display.

(*): Wotcha. New to the place, are ya? Well 'ow's about I give (ya/ya all) the grand tour then, eh?

(*): Nice! Right then, step this way!

(*): That's the weapon an' armour shops an' all that business. Don't do much trade, but they ain't bad.

(*): An' 'ere we 'ave the item shop. Ain't got much in the way o' souvenirs though, if that's the kind o' stuff ya like.

(*): As ya can see, up 'ere's the graveyard.

(*): It's the burial ground o' the great warrior Bladud wot saved the town once.

(*): An' this 'ere is the church, see... This is where the town's greatest treasure's kept.

(*): 'Scuse me, 'Ilda- Er...I mean, Sister 'Ilda... Mind if I show (this punter/these punters) the old you-know-wot? 

Sister 'Ilda: Of course. The Goddess welcomes all folk.

(*): So this is it. The famous armour wot old Bladud used to wear.

(*): 'Parrently it's got some amazin' powers or somefin' like that.

(*): An' this 'ere is the bath. "Barf's barf" I like to call it. He he he! Get (yerself/yerselves) in there an' yer aches 'n' pains'll soon be gone.

(*): So, er... Where was (you/you lot)plannin' on stayin' tonight?

(*): Only, I can honestly recommend this place 'ere. It's clean an' comfortable, an' the innkeeper's a top geezer an' all!

(*): Awright, then. Suit (yerself/yerselves). By the way, this other inn's a right rip-off. I wouldn't touch it wiv a bargepole if I was you.
