What is really meant can be very different from what is said! For example, in a fictional magical world, this could include:-
- "It could be tricky". (Rough translation = there are likely to be dragons, there's a good chance of getting killed and I'm not coming on the quest with you by the way).
- "It would to pay to avoid..." Usually a place is mentioned. (Rough translation = a powerful wizard or witch lives there and they would sooner kill you than look at you - and I'm still not coming on the quest with you by the way).
- "Have you got enough....?" Usually consumables are mentioned. (Rough translation = you've not packed nearly enough, I refuse to be a beast of burden, this is why you want me to go on the quest with you, isnt it?).
- "The Dark Lord..." This sentence is never usually finished but there's no need to do so. Everyone knows what it means. (Rough translation = The Dark Lord kills anything and anyone that might get in his way. You're still on your own for the quest).
- "When you get to the pub..." (Rough translation = The pub is where the adventure really starts, you will get into a fight, you will meet someone who will either be a life safer or your killer, hard to tell at this stage which it will be, and I'm stopping at home, thank you).
