Dialogue

First encounter: Nowak Hello. Anton You looking for allies? You looking for someone who can hold their own in a fight? Baby, you found 'em. You're looking at Anton. I'm a right proper killing machine. There's no call I don't answer. No enemy I leave standin'. *Anton reaches his hand out with his palm upturned.* Nowak ... Great! Well, let's head out then. Anton *Anton gestures at his hand.* Nowak *Nowak reaches out to shake his hand.* Anton *Anton recoils his hand with an air of disgust.* You gotta pay up. I ain't free and I sure ain't cheap. I think 10 coins should do. Come back when you've somethin' to offer. Bosch Why is money even worth anything down here? Leaving without paying: Anton You keep chatting with me and I'm gonna start charging an hourly rate. Paying some of the fee: Nowak Here. I don't have all the payment yet but take this for now. Anton Looks like I'll still need X more. You know where to find me. Fully paying the fee: Nowak Okay, this should be enough. Anton *Anton moves his fist full of coins up and down.* ...So this is how much I'm worth. ... ... Neat! Meeting them afterwards: Nowak Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us? Anton Sure! Alright, let's go get into trouble! Meeting them afterwards, with a full party: Nowak Hey, are you still willing to tag along with us? Anton Y'know three's a crowd but ten... Come back when your party has a little more room. I need space to work my magic.

Tips

• Skittish can be a major boon with proper planning, allowing Anton to attack dangerous targets safely without having to start the turn in front of them or swapping with other allies without needing to use a movement
• Shank can combo well with Nowak's Parry, effectively allowing Parry to deal more damage than Takedown

Trivia
