The Phandalin Chronicles

Overhearing Princess Akra saying that she had roughed it on a ship of the  southern part of The Sword Coast, Thalas booms "e hine {which translates as Little Lady - after all everybody is little as far as he is concerned} its like a millpond down there. Now if you want rough I'll take you on the northern Trackless Sea West of the Moonshaes. It's the ***** Queen herself's waters out there! And rough don't go halfway to describing the seas and winds out there. Makes you feel alive it does!" He then pauses and then asks "so e hine Rocky here works for you cos you look after him and his family, what happens if he doesn't like the work you're offering? Can he do something else or work for somebody else?"  

When the wagon reaches the ambush site - after all what else could it be - Thalas looks over at Ungrim saying "righto Kaimanahu {a colloquial term which translates person in charge} you're the boss! How do you want to play this?" 

Ungrim, keeping his eyes on the road, listens to Princess Akra's endless comments about everything she finds amusing or worthy of notice. He remains silent for most of the journey, as the dragonborn seems to speak enough for two or three people at the same time, only adding at one point, after Thalas's comment about the Moonshae's treacherous waters:
"Rough, you say, Princess? I am afraid that here on the Savage Coast, you will soon find out that the meaning of that word is not quite what you think it is. Be prepared to be surprised."
The dwarf adds with a toothy grin.

Later on, as the wagon slows and reaches the scattered supplies and torn packs, Ungrim frowns at the scene.
"Ambush, or I am no dwarf", he mutters, gripping the haft of his greataxe. "Thalas, let's get closer and give them a proper welcome, shall we?"
The dwarf grins as he hops down and heads toward the scene, scanning the area. Without turning his head, Ungrim addresses the others on the cart.
"Keep your eyes open and try to cover us while protecting our cart."
