I'm sure there's all sorts of wonders below the surface! {reassuring] [4/4] Junes: In fact, I think I'll join you! {joyful} [1/4] Junes: How on earth did you know that these quicksand spots lead to empire ruins? {inquiring/surprised} [2/4] Junes: Don't tell me you just jumped in there without knowing what would happen. {normal} [3/4] Junes: Well, your luck paid off this time. I like your Grook feathers, guard. {normal, complementing} [4/4] Junes: Let's see what's down there! {happy} [1/15] Junes: Incredible.. I've never seen so many scriptures in one place.. Libraries are rare even today. {intrigued} [2/15] Junes: This is the third library I've found.. And the smallest, too. {explaining} [3/15] Junes: I've been studying the language, and I think I can read a little bit of what they have here. {explaining} [4/15] Junes: This book is all about farming.. Farming in a desert? It doesn't make sense. {confused} [5/15] Junes: Look, here again... A book about plant care and soil. {intrigued} [6/15] Junes: I'm not entirely sure how old this civilization is.. But it predates the portal being open, that much is certain. {focused} [7/15] Junes: Here's a book entirely dedicated to the royal family, interesting. {normal} [8/15] Junes: Wow, how is this possible? The tree starts with The Emperor... But he's had hundreds of children.. {intrigued} [9/15] Junes: Over... Hundreds of years.. {focused} [10/15] Junes: It shows his children being born after his great grandchildren had died… {intrigued} [11/15] Junes: How old was this emperor? {inquiring} [12/15] Junes: Oh! These mechanisms still work! {surprised} [13/15] Junes: There must have been books here not for public knowledge.. {focused} [14/15] Junes: Let's see... Hmm.. I don't understand it at all. The only word I recognise is life. {focused} [15/15] Junes: I need to get some fresh air, the dust is starting to get to me. Looks like the exit is right there. {slightly exhausted} Temple ruin [1/3] Junes: Did you open this place up? You've done some serious damage! {inquiring, impressed} [2/3] Junes: It might not look like much, but these ruins were left by a now extinct empire. {explaining} [3/3] Junes: I spent half a year excavating this place.. I must admit it would have taken me 2 years to finish. Alright, let's go deeper. Try to keep up. {explaining} [1/8] Junes: Amazing, isn't it? This is just an ordinary building in the old empire that lies beneath the sands. {admiring} [2/8] Junes: We don't know much about them, but we are uncovering more and more every day. {explaining} [3/8] Junes: Follow me, there is so much to take in. {normal} [4/8] Junes: It's clear that the empire were seriously advanced, possibly more advanced than us in some ways. {explaining} [5/8] Junes: I keep seeing symbols in every building.. It looks like some kind of rod or sceptre. {explaining} [6/8] Junes: We know that there was an emperor that ruled these lands, this must be the source of his power. {explaining} [7/8] Junes: Hmm, I'm going to continue researching this place, but I think I might be able to figure a way out for you. {explaining} [8/8] Junes: Oh DEAR! {surprised as the floor collapsed} Boulder pit [1/11] Junes: Woah! What did you push this for? {amazed, inquiring} [2/11] Junes: There were markings all over it.. And a small entrance to the inside. {intrigued} [3/11] Junes: I wonder why... Wait - Where are we? {inquiring} [4/11] Junes: How do you keep finding these ruins? {inquiring} [5/11] Junes: My word.. This body.. It's definitely not from the fallen empire. {interested, certain} [6/11] Junes: It's relatively new.. Maybe from the last 100 years. {focused} [7/11] Junes: I've seen evidence all over these buildings of people living in them or storing goods. {explaining} [8/11] Junes: I guess it's only natural when an empire as big as this one still stands. {normal} [9/11] Junes: There must be hundreds of convenient hiding places, this poor guy must have got trapped. {explaining, saddened} [10/11] Junes: Seems like he couldn't get the door open. Maybe the wood has rotted by now… {explaining} [11/11] Junes: HUP! {Pushing down a heavy wall} Temple of swords [1/11] Junes: How did you open this door? It's been sealed for as long as I remember. {amazed} [2/11] Junes: However... This barrier doesn't look like it was made by the empire. {explaining/focused} [4/11] Junes: Well, it seems to have fallen apart to the touch. This is one of the biggest rooms I've seen.. {explaining} [3/11] Junes: It's still old, though. Let's give it a little nudge. {normal} [5/11] Junes: This must have been important... Let's go! {intrigued, excited} [6/11] Junes: Don't you think this vault is a little grand for storing just gold? {focused} [7/11] Junes: Look, there's a pedestal for something here, like a weapon. {focused} [8/11] Junes: The dust is disturbed around it. Someone has been here recently.. {serious} [9/11] Junes: But why would they take whatever was here, but not all the gold? {thinking/focused} [10/11] Junes: Whatever was kept here, I think we can assume it was of great value to the Emperor. {explaining} [11/11] Junes: We better get out of here, and don't even think about taking this gold - They are artifacts! {slightly urgent, serious} Totem pole [1/3] Eagle Tribesman: Not only did the Owl Tribe steal our totem but also stole one of our Idol's eyes! {anger} [2/3] Eagle Tribesman: The totems hold great protective magical power. Without all the parts, it can not function. {explaining} [3/3] Eagle Tribesman: It is probably hiding away somewhere at the Owl Tribe. Maybe if there's peace we can return it. [1/8] Tribe Member: The sandstorm has been raging on for months, we HAVE to leave. {desperately} //Tribe Member 1 [2/8] Tribe Member: We won't make it out there… {sadly} //Tribe Member 2 [3/8] Tribe Member: We won't make it in here. We're almost out of food. {angrily} //Tribe Member 1 [4/8] Tribe Member: Sandstorms usually only last days, maybe weeks. We must have upset the gods. {thoughtfully} //Tribe Member 3 [5/8] Tribe Member: I don't think so. I feel the lingering stench of betrayal in the air. {suspiciously} //Tribe Member 2 [6/8] Tribe Member: This is a magical storm. We need to find a magical solution. {thoughtfully} //Tribe Member 4 [7/8] Tribe Member: Either way, we need to leave, or we're dead. {darkly} //Tribe Member 1 [8/8] Tribe Member: I wonder what is happening out there in the citadel? {thoughtfully} //Tribe Member 3 Rymek thief [1/2] Shopkeeper: Hey there friend! Looking teh barter fer some weapons or trinkets? {welcoming} [2/2] Shopkeeper: Scum! That guy jus' stole a necklace! Catch 'im and jus' take this as payment!! {angrily} [1/9] Bandit Leader: Looks like you were followed, boy. {disappointed} [2/9] Bandit Leader: Well, what do we do now, we're caught by the famous Ragni Guard. {sarcastically} [3/9] Bandit Leader: Or maybe.. You're looking fer somefin else.. {thoughtfully} [4/9] Bandit Leader: JEFFERY, not now. Behave. {angrily} [1/1] Bandit Guard: Duhh sorwy boss. {apologetically} [5/9] Bandit Leader: Listen, we ain' all bad. Sure we like to nick stuff but that's how its always been. {explaining} [6/9] Bandit Leader: Our daddies daddies escaped your stupid corruption war to the desert, it ain' got anyfin to do with us. {explaining} [7/9] Bandit Leader: So, let's just let this go and you can go back to yer war. {normally} [8/9] Bandit Leader: We'll let yer go without a fight, and you keep yer mouth shut. {explaining} [9/9] Bandit Leader: Boys, show him out. {darkly} //say, “show them out.” Desert royal residence [1/11] Emperor: Ah, bright days, my 26th son is here.. {excitedly} [2/11] Emperor: How were your travels beyond the walls, Hashr? {excitedly} [3/11] Hashr: Life beyond the walls is different, vibrant, but most importantly - magical. {explaining} [4/11] Emperor: Not every being is capable of harnessing magic like I am Hashr, you know that. {sadly} [5/11] Prince Hashr: You see, I know that's not true. They taught me many things. {darkly} [6/11] Emperor: Son? What is it you are trying to say? {confused} [7/11] Prince Hashr: THAT YOUR WORLD IS A LIE. {bloodthirsty} [8/11] Royal Guard: NO! How could you Hashr? You have doomed us all! {horrified} [9/11] Almighty Hashr: My father was mortal like us all. His power came from this sceptre. He is a false God. {explaining} [10/11] Almighty Hashr: Now I will be able to rule- Wait, what's happening..? {happily, then horrified} [11/11] Almighty Hashr: Do you hear that? What did my father do to himself?! {scared}
