Graham (Hoyle I)


 * Have you ever visited Daventry, my friend? If you ever travel there, I shall introduce you to the people and peculiar creatures of my native land.
 * If you visit Daventry, I shall show you the dragon's cave, wherein I defeated the loathsome beast. Or introduce you to the Gnome, that wise old fellow.
 * I would be most pleased if you visit Daventry, my friend. There is always room in the castle for visitors!
 * Daventry is lovely to visit, indeed. Where else can you encounter dragons, snack on a gingerbread house, and converse with gnomes?
 * Questing in Daventry is a dangerous venture. To battle with sword and shield is often not the correct action, but rather one should use wits to avoid deadly peril.
 * I played an excellent game against a firedrake once. Unfortunately, it ended when he incinerated the cards.
 * I view a card game as a battle of wits, wherein I may challenge a worthy opponent such as yourself. Should I fail, naught is lost save my own pride.
 * I rarely think of money. The treasure room of my castle holds more wealth than I could ever possibly need.
 * In truth, I do believe that you speak too often of money, Colonel. In my land, only villains are concerned more with wealth than anything else.
 * I've never thought of traveling to the stars in vehicles of metal and fire. Although that could explain that strange metal contraption we found in the moat last year...
 * Perhaps someday I will ride to the stars in a vehicle of metal and fire, Jerry, captained by your son Devin.
 * Do you honestly believe, Sir Warren, that my life and adventurers are naught but a computer game? 'Tis impossible, I assure you!
 * How could it be possible that I, my family, and all of the realm of Daventry could be contained with a machine? Indeed, sirrah, this is truly unbelievable!
 * These tales of yours, Lawrence, are somewhat unbelievable at best. Do you expect me to believe such foolishness?
 * Sir Lawrence, I am weary of your incessant ramblings. Couldn't thou kindly shut up?
 * In truth my grandfather was a knight of great reknown. Many songs are still sung of his heroism, and how he defeated the Dragon of Herenna.
 * I think I inherited much of my wisdom from my grandfather. Using his wits, rather than his sword, he banished the Dragon of Herenna.
 * My friend, I could be spending this time with my family in Daventry, instead of waiting for you to make a move.
 * Your stories are fascinating, Sir Bonds. Fortunately, my Daventry is a peaceful realm, and does not contain villains such as this Death Angel.
 * Indeed, Sonny, it does seem to me that you are as a knight of the realm of Lytton, responsible for the welfare of the folk of your land.
 * Would that I could understand these mathematics of which you speak, Lady Thelma! But my knowledge is limited to ruling my fair land of Daventry.
 * Perhaps you could visit Daventry, m'lady Thelma, and teach more of these mathematics. I believe my daughter Rosella would be fascinated by this as well.
 * In truth, my daughter is Rosella is a brave and adventurous girl! I am indeed fortunate to have two such children!
 * Did I tell how my valiant daughter journeyed to the far realm of Tamir and defeated the evil Lolotte, all to save my life? Rosella, you are truly a treasure beyond compare!
 * It does seem that some unknown foe has placed you in this circumstance, Roger.
 * If I could, I would attempt to find a way for you to escape, Sir Roger.
 * I expect that you would enjoy a visit to Daventry, Sir Bulldog. I am certain that you and the Gnome would probably be able to spend many hours conversing.
 * There are many creatures in Daventry such as yourself, Sir Bulldog, who wear the forms of animals but are quite intelligent.
 * I do consider education to be quite important. I spent many years in Knight School before I ventured on my first quest.
 * Perhaps you would enjoy studying in Knight School, Sir Lenny, learning the skills of a defender of the realm.
 * 'Tis true that I must spend much of my time questing and defeating monsters, if only because of my love for excellent food! Else I would be known only as King Graham the Overweight!
 * I am certain that my Queen, the Lady Valanice, would be pleased to spend many hours with you, conversing on the subject of fine food. Did I tell you that she is an excellent cook?
 * I have never seen these movies of yours, Lady Diane, we spend our evenings regaling each other with tales of heroic deeds.
 * I would enjoy seeing one of these movies of yours, Lady Diane. Methinks this could be an delightful way to spend an evening, viewing the heroic exploits of others.
 * I fear that I do not engage in sports very often, unless you count being chased by a furious dragon....
 * Unfortunately, as King of Daventry, I do not have time for sports, except for chasing the occasional monster....
 * I read many books, Cassie, about Daventry and other lands. I consider it part of being a good King, to learn everything you can.
 * I've spent many enjoyable hours with my children, reading to them of the history of Daventry.
 * In Daventry, we also have mountain ranges, but these are inhabited by fierce creatures! I do not think you would wish to meet them, Mistress Christina!
 * I have enjoyed a quiet afternoon in the mountains with my family, defeating the occasional dragon that wanders across our path.
