<div><font face="arial">Grandfather: Later, as Gorath ate with his family, he told the story of the ambush.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">vavnI': SIbI'Ha' SoptaHvIS ghoratlh qorDu'Daj je ghachpu' cha' nIHwI' ja'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Gorath: …then, they attacked. I stood my ground.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoratlh: …vaj muHIv. jIHeDbe'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Aunt: How many of them were there?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">'e'mamnal: nIHwI' 'ar tu'lu'?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Gorath: Four of them. Tall and strong. Twenty of them. I wasted no time in teaching them a lesson or two. I spun left. I turned right. Swinging my betleH with all of my strength to fend them off.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoratlh: loS tu'lu'. runbe'qu' 'ej HoS. cha'maH tu'lu'. jIHvo' nom Doch puS ghoj chaH. poSDaq jIDIng. nIHDaq jItlhe'. betleHwIj vIDIngmeH HoSwIj Hoch {1} vIlo' 'ej vI'ompu'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Barwench: And they didn’t land a single blow.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">tebwI': 'ej not nImup'a'?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Gorath: Not a scratch. I was too fast, too agile, too deadly for the likes of them. More bloodwine.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoratlh: jIrIQHa'chu'. pe'vIl roS jIvang. jIH po' law' chaH po' puS. {2} 'Iw HIq latlh!</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">{1} I wasn't sure about &lt;HoSwIj Hoch&gt; "all of my strength"</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">{2} I couldn't think of anything better for "deadly/lethal" ... perhaps &lt;Qob&gt; ?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Grandfather: It wsn’t long before stories of his exploits reached the powerful House of Bronal.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">vavnI': tugh bIro'nal {3} tuq HoSghaj SIchpu' chavHeyDaj lutmey.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Boy: I know Bronal. Kahless defeated him at...</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">loDHom: bIro'nal vISov. jey qeylIS 'ej...</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Grandfather: Yes, yes, but this happens before all of that. Be silent and listen. The House of Bronal...</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">vavnI': HIja', 'ach qaSpa' Hochvetlh qaS lutvam. yItam'eghmoH 'ej yI'Ij. bIro'nal tuq...</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">{3} I translated Bronal as &lt;bIro'nal&gt; throughout</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Bronal: And this warrior ... he is alone?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">bIro'nal: toH, SuvwI'vam ... mob'a'?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Spy: Yes, my lord.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoqwI': HIja' jawwI'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Bronal: He dispatched over 20 bandits, you say?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">bIro'nal: nIteb cha'maH nIHwI' HoHta' qar'a'?</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Spy: Yes, my lord. And walked away without a scratch.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoqwI': HIja' jawwI'. 'ej mejDI' rIQbe'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Bronal: I see.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">bIro'nal: toH.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Spy: Would you like to see him for yourself? He could be brought before your magnificence.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoqwI': DaqIH DaneH'a'? chaq tlhop'a'lIjDaq qemlu'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Bronal: No. If he is as powerful as you say, I will be inviting the cyclone into my home. Fetch my assassins.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">bIro'nal: ghobe'. HoSghajchu' 'e' vIvItchugh vaj juHwIjDaq SuS'a' vIqem. naDev HoHwI'pu'wI' {4} yIqem.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Spy: At once, my lord.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">ghoqwI': SIbI' jawwI'.</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">{4} There must be a better way to say "assassin"</font></div>

<div><font face="arial"><br>
</font></div>

<div><font face="arial">Here ends part 3</font></div>
