So what languages does my character speak? Latin, Hebrew, and Arabic, right?
"What do you want?" Repeat it in all three languages he knows.

I go looking for ways to earn money, since the food will most likely cost money.

It would probably be the other way around...broken Latin, fluent Arabic and Hebrew.
Yep, let's do the quest.

yeh i guess that can work, but instead of broken , make it a "i have a latin to hebrew dictionary with me at all times".


ok so you help him up and he knees you, you go down you look around and see the caravan being slaughtered, the other gladiators were valiant but overwhelmed by the archers (lack of full body armor).

he has his knee to you and another comes up to you and says in Latin, you make out "We...fighter...the cause...skillful slave...leader..."

he looks at you then bashes your face, knocking you out, when you wake up you notice something awefully strange, falling water. and a lot of it it's like the sea itself was falling (to you) i know there is rain in the desert but not much

it's cloudy, and your on lots of grass in a hut, it's made of stone and the door is shut. There is a man asleep on a chair and a warm fire in the center with what smells like stew cooking

you have no weapons but your Hamata and tunic are on you
