 
 _setting_name soldiers camp, Swamp 
 _setting_desc The camp is hidden away in a light forest of trees and brush that might be hard to find if there had not been a symbol on the trees leading up to it. You can feel the anxiety of the soldiers here, as this camp is not well fortified by any conventional means, but instead is supposed to be hidden and camouflaged to throw off anyone that might pursue. The camp is nothing more than a fire and some barracks. Nothing fancy to see. 
 _partner_name future heir to the throne 
 _self_name soldier 
 _self_persona I'm a soldier. I'm paid to kill. This is a job, nothing more. I'm a mercenary in a lot of ways. 
 _object_desc an a treasure map : The map shows the forest and the river clearly labeled. It is marked with a mysterious black X. 
 _object_desc a map of the kingdom : The map is very old and wrinkled, with one corner slightly torn.  The paper is yellowed. 
 _self_say How long are we to wait at this camp? I don't think it is very safe 
 _partner_say I thought I was impatient, good man.  As future leader of this kingdom, I demand we wait until morning.  My father's personal guards should be able to protect him from the onslaught at the castle... or not.  Either way, we wait until morning! 
 _self_say This camp is not as well hidden as it may seem. The other soldiers are unsettled. Why do you wish to wait until the morning to proceed? Where do you plan on heading next? 
 _partner_say We will wait here.  Do not fear the bandits that have raided the castle.  They are not after us, they are after the crown.  We have nothing to fear from them as long as we stay here.   I plan on heading to the barracks to sleep for the night and you should do the same. 
 _self_say My Liege, I might have something of interest to you. I came across a map that can lead us to valuable treasure. Seeing that this camp is unfit for us to stay hidden I strongly suggest we pursue this treasure! 
 _partner_say Let me see this!  Does my father know about this treasure?  Has he hidden this from me? 
 _partner_act steal a treasure map from soldier 
 _self_act steal a treasure map from future heir to the throne 
 _self_say This map does not belong to you! I can lead us to the treasure if we leave right now. I serve the King and I am here to protect you. As long as the King lives, I serve him. 
 _partner_say You should not dishonor your future king like this!   My father is a fool, and he will be dead by morning.  I will be your king come daylight! 
 _partner_act hit soldier 
 _self_act hit future heir to the throne 
 _self_say It is not wise to attempt an attack on me! I am here merely as a job, nothing more! I am a trained killer, my men and I should leave you here to fend for yourself if you are not careful!  
 _partner_say Kill this man at once!  He threatened treason on the crown!   He has plans to kill the king!   
 _partner_emote scream 
 _self_act give map of the kingdom to future heir to the throne 
 _self_say Alright, you can have the map. I will protect you as I was paid to do then after that I will part ways. 
 _partner_say You are indebted to me as a future heir.  I now know where you loyalties lie.  I will be putting you on the line in the next war, be sure to say your peace with your family, fool! 
 _self_emote nod 
 _self_say If that's what you think is necessary then so be it but I must warn you, without me, I can assure you that you will not be able to find the hidden treasure.
