"Only one man died during the entire journey!? That's miraculous! You're our savior!"
"I couldn't be more grateful over your help, mister!"
"I was about to curse you for the journey, but then my aunt pulled through and recovered from the cold, so thanks a lot!"
"I'm going to name my kid after you, could you tell me your name, please?"
High ratings throughout, but you wonder if that faithfulness will stick in harder times.
"You should pat yourself on the back for this one, partner! This place really feels like a safe haven compared to where we last were. Hope you don't mind me spending time with Jodi and the kids for a while. Just look for any of the girls flying if you need me again."
"Dismissed." You wave at the hunter after completing the crusade back to Ilos, he's an useful person to have around, but you wonder if staying away from his family for long would be a detriment for his mood.

"Barnham should be with my money now, just tell me how much I owe you and I'll pay you back once I get my hands on the loot."
"...You don't have to pay me..." Farnese shakes her head.
"What are you talking about? The stops throughout were pretty expensive. I know you're rich, but returning the gesture is common courtesy."
"Budgeting was the only reason I was remotely useful in this journey. Now that it's over, you're free to choose what to do with the money you owe me."
"Alright, how much was it?"
"Around 25 gold coins? The wagons cost a lot more than the food and medicine."
This is not much compared to the fortune you should have at this point...
"It's not a big deal, really. Let me pay you back."
"I insist! I have already burdened you enough, and there's not much else I can do to help you now..."
