Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} [1/8] Detective Hart: Hotor, Athomo, Arperi, Etyir, Taiyroth, On'omi, Danin, Nesys, Onton. All missing...{Solemn and Thoughtful} Etan is the latest.{Solemn} You don't happen to know anything about these people, soldier?{Hopeful} Citizens are going missing at an alarming rate. We have lost 10 people in just 3 weeks. There hasn't been a trace of them anywhere.{Worried, Pensive} You wouldn't have expected it, with all the guard golems we've been donated recently! Olux should be safer than ever.{Frustrated} Of course I have my suspicions, there are rumors floating around about...shady business going on.{Grim, Serious} I don't know who to trust in these circumstances, so if you would be willing to aid in this investigation, I'd be rather thankful.{Tired, Hopeful} The “Great” Daxe is a man with a criminal past.{Disapprovingly} He knows things the police don't, but he won't talk with me, given my status.{Normal} Can you try to get some information from him? You can find his hut west from here. Next to that Elven girl's camp.{Serious request, relying on the player} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/17] Daxe: Oh, so a human wishes to wander into the home of the great Daxe?{Mocking the player in a condescending tone} Unfortunately for you, I'm not fond of visitors.{Arrogant, he knows you have nothing on him} I've left my criminal past behind...mh?{Surprise} What's that device you have there?{Wary} So you already know about this, then...?{Intrigued} Hm! If you already know, what do you need the information for?{Irritated} [5/17] Guard Golem: BZZT. [ERROR]...? Madeleine...?{Questioning tone, Confused} MADELEINE!{Panic} MADELEINE! Where's...wait! What's happening, where am I? WHO'S VOICE IS THIS?!{Panicking, confused, stressed more and more} [7/17] Daxe: Wait, what in the world is going on?! What did you do to my golem?!{Demanding tone} [8/17] Guard Golem: They... my daughter... SHUT UP! QUIET! Who's giving me orders- NO ORDERS! Cold! COLD!{Voice filled with anger} Who's giving me orders- ## ####### Cold! COLD!{Anguish, Panic} [9/17] Daxe: Wait, your daughter?! M-Madeleine...? I...h-how...what...?{Confusion, but then terrible realization} You...you aren't...dead steel? You remember your name...?!{In shock} [11/17] Guard Golem?: STOP GIVING ME ORDERS!! I'M...I'M THEODORE! I'M NOT A SERVANT! I...where has my life gone...? Where is...{Lost, stunned, confused} Madeleine... Where are you- RE-AFFIRMING DIRECTIVES. BZZT. ... ... ...{Anguished pain} Daxe: I... I can't believe it. They didn't...they're still...{Numb with shock} Dear god, that...that must...I'll talk. I will tell you what I know.{Terrified, Shocked} I broke into the golem factory for petty thievery...and found them. They gave me this Golem... Theodore...later to keep me quiet.{Serious} They assured me that they were gone, that every last bit of them was erased. They...those monsters lied to me...{Serious} Follow this road west and turn right. Look for Urelix. The factory is hidden in a cabin, it won't look like a factory.{Serious} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {Maybe something can deactivate the golem guarding the entrance} {The guard golem left...but the reactor has stopped working.} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Urelix: And what do you think you are doing, barging into my humble home like this? Do they not teach humans manners in Wynn?{Indignant} Ah, yes. You are correct- I oversee the creation of Guard Golems. What of it?{Haughty} Oh, you believe that our company is illicit somehow? You insult me so!{Offended, Indignant} My golems have protected countless people for years.{Rankling at the accusation} So if you think my company is corrupt, why don't you take a look around?{Angrily} Go on, search through my house. See if you can find anything.{Angrily} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Dr. Urelix: Well well, look at you, here at the end of my factory.{Mildly irritated} I wasn't expecting you to survive the production line. I thought you'd be one of ours by now.{Normal} That's that, I suppose.{sighs} Yes, this is indeed where all the iron golems you've ever encountered were made, and if you've gotten here, you know how we make them.{Urelix is hiding nothing, he is deadly serious} Yes, metal forged with flesh...an unbeatable combination. {Cold, calculating}Emotions and memories must be repressed in order to maintain obedience, of course...{Unperturbed} Have you ever looked at a golem's eyes?{Suddenly, questioningly} Sometimes they look back, yes. The person they once were is still in there. I almost feel a connection when I make eye contact with them...{Cold} It's odd, honestly. I'm sure they don't feel much except cold, supposing our safeguards stay in place, of course. I have to assume malfunctions happened to have had you find us out...{Thinking} Oh, look at me now, rambling!{good naturedly, but forced} I must say I have been alone for a while...well, lacking any company that converses!{Cheerfully says, also forced} So, I shall make you a deal, human.{Serious again} I will give you a substantial amount of emeralds and a piece of quality iron armor in return for your silence on my little operation here.{Haughty, Calm} I'll advise you to take my deal. Imagine what will happen if you should report my operation to the police.{Pleased with himself} Yes, you'll save a few folk here, but how will the golems be made?{Mockingly} Without them, both Gavel and Wynn would struggle under the weight of our wars. Is this operation so immoral, then? Sacrifices must be made in order to survive. {Explains like he is the most right villager in Gavel.} I'll give you some time to consider my proposition.{Confident} Take from my chest if you wish to take up my offer, otherwise get out of here and do not return.{Sharply} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Dr. Urelix: Ahh, a wise choice. Production will continue then...and you've earned yourself a pocket full of emeralds at the same time.{Mildly taunting} Whether you truly see things my way or simply understand that my work is necessary, I couldn't care less. What matters is not your morality, but your choice.{Coldly} Enjoy your armor and money, and please escort yourself to the exit.{Coldly} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Detective Hart: You've returned, I see. Any news on the situation?{Normal} Yes, we're aware of the Golem factory. Were the criminals using it as a base?{Confused} Wha...fleshcrafting?!{Amazed} Golems are powered by suspended villagers?! Is this true, soldier?{Shock} We'll need to round up reinforcements immediately, and storm this factory! This cannot go on a moment longer!{Furious} Don't think you'll go unrewarded, soldier. There will be justice for this grave defilement of our people.{Serious}
