PAID: The Chronicles of Conan: The Tower of the Elephant
Brian Barnshaw for Kothian Sellsword
This nameless smuggler is fat, belligerent and drunk. He should be a loud, uncouth sounding, low-life. He is after all a man who brags mostly about stealing people, namely women, to sell them across nations.
DIRECTION
First line: He should sound proud and boastful, and as if he is talking to a crowd.
Second Line: In the first sentence he should sound astonished, with a hint of mockery, as he talks to a crowd. In the second sentence, he is directing his speech to Conan in a somewhat condescending tone.
Third line: He should sound insulted and outraged
By Bel, God of all Thieves, I'll show them how to steal wenches: I'll have her over the Zamorian border before dawn, and there'll be a caravan waiting to receive her.
Harken to this heathen!! He would steal the jewel of Yara! - Harken, fellow, I suppose you are some sort of northern barbarian -
What?!! You dare tell us our business, and intimate that we are cowards? Get along, get out of my sight!
