==Dialogue==
;North Kryta Province:
:''"This land might not look like much to you, but peat from the swamp is the best soil in Tyria.''

:''"What's your business here?"''

;During the [[Peacekeeper]] encounter,
:'''[[Inquisitor Bauer]]''': ''"DAMN IT, we don't have time for this! Tell me where the [[Shining Blade]] is hiding!"''
:'''Farmer Dirk''': ''"I don't know anything! I'm just a simple hog farmer!"''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"You're going to tell me what I want to know. It's just a question of how much it's going to hurt you!"''
:'''[[Peacekeeper Marksman]]''': ''"Careful boss, you can't keep killing all our leads..."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"Don't question my methods!"''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"That sure is a nice pig you have there. If you tell me what you know, I'll make sure nothing bad happens to him."''
:'''Peacekeeper Marksman''': ''"Ummm... boss?"''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"Don't interrupt me while I'm interrogating a suspect!"''
:'''Peacekeeper Marksman''': ''"But... don't those guys over there look kind of familiar?"''

:'''Peacekeeper Marksman''': ''"Uhh... OK, you're the boss..."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"Do you see this pine cone? Do you know what I could do to you with this pine cone?"''
:'''[[Peacekeeper Enforcer]]''':''"mmmmphy eees ellphin ehh ruuuph."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"What? I can't understand a word you are saying! Why don't you take that stupid thing out of your mouth!?"''
:'''Peacekeeper Marksman''': ''"He said "Maybe he's telling the truth." He has a point... maybe this farmer doesn't know anything."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"Impossible! Look, farmer, tell me what you know or things are going to start getting messy!"''
:'''Farmer Dirk''': ''"Fine, fine...the Shining Blade is hiding in...umm..."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"Out with it! We're running out of time!"''
:'''Farmer Dirk''': ''"They're in [[Scoundrel's Rise]]! Yeah, that's it! I mean... where else would scoundrels like them be?"''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''':''"Of course! You men stay behind and see if you can get any more information."''
:'''Inquisitor Bauer''': ''"I'm going to [[Nebo Terrace]] to gather my "interrogation supplies" so I can be the first to reach the traitor's camp."''
