Can we get modern english translation?

[Noxifer]

He stripped the player of the Blessing of Light, not remove it. There's a difference due to the way the word was used in that sentence.

Wait... Stripping doesn't mean removing something (usually clothes, if nothing else is implied or mentioned)?


As for examples of a slightly more modern dialogue...

When the senary moon did wane, there sounded a blood-curdling roar. A new primal has roused, the portents gave us to believe, and one whose identity yet lieth beyond our ken. By thy hand, three primals have since been vanquished. As each returned to the aether, 'twas observed that tremors foreshadowing this fourth grew in strength and frequency both. The being doth quicken, and in time it shall become a scourge upon the land. Yet even as we pondered a course of action, a benevolent soul did arise, one who would forestall this threat. Though she be tender in years, she is true of heart and steadfast of resolve. She would solicit thine aid, if thou art willing to proffer it. Lest thou wonder, this maiden is of our order. Thus did the Antecedent straightways consent that thou shouldst assist her howsoever thou mayest. As soon as thou art able, hie thee to Wineport, where thy petitioner doth await thee even now. Thou shalt for a certainty find her visage strikingly familiar.

When the sixth moon waned, a blood-curdling roar was heard. This led us to believe that a new primal has roused, one we don't yet know the identity of. By your hand, three primals have been defeated. As each returned to the aether, it was noticed that tremors forshadowing this fourth grew in both strength and frequency. This being stirs, and in time it will become a scourge on the land. But even as we considered what to do, a kind soul stepped forth who would stop this threat. Though she's still young, she's true of heart and firm in her resolve. She would like your help, if you're willing to offer it. Before you ask, this young woman is of our order. That's why the Antecedent agreed right away that you should assist her however you could. As soon as you're able, make your way to Wineport, where the woman waits for you already. You will without a doubt find her appearance very familiar.

Just a quick write-up, of course, and while I'd like to say that my grasp of the English language is better than most of my countrymen, there were still a number of words I'm not entirely sure why they decided to use (or in what meaning). "Senary" for example... I interpreted it as sixth, though it more refers to something that's using 6 as a base number instead of 10. According to Wikipedia, at least.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if some characters used more flowery language, with thees and thous (dragons, for example), but not to the extent Urianger does. And yes, I did convert the thees and thous to yous. That doesn't mean that I'm suggesting that the "average" NPC, who in the game uses you instead of thee/thou, should resort to txt tlk, leet speak or ghetto.
