//Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} Tasim is the soldier's companion on their journey. Ope is the shady nephew of the mayor. Elder Forest Spider is a spider. Mayor Alvin is the mayor of Alekin Village. He should sound calm and welcoming. [1/2] Tasim: Oh, soldier! There you are. It's good to see you. I'd say we should keep heading towards Detlas, but... [2/2] Tasim: You could probably do with getting a little stronger first. Tell me when you reach Level 4, alright? [1/1] Mayor Alvin: Ah, hello traveler... Welcome to Alekin Village. May your stay be nice and uneventful. [1/8] Tasim: Oh, soldier! There you are. It's good to see you. Are you ready to continue on towards Detlas? {friendly} [2/8] Tasim: It seems we'll need to pass through the Nivla Woods first. I've heard the forest is crawling with spiders... But between you and me, we should be- {worried, then confident} [3/8] ???: H-hey! You two! You're soldiers, right? I can tell from your weird fashion sense. You folk are supposed to help people! So. Help! {nervously} [4/8] Tasim: Huh? Oh- yes, of course! What's your name? What do you need help with? {confidently} [5/8] Ope: I'm Ope! I was recently... uh... bit by a spider! And now I need your help to get a rare medicinal herb to heal me! {nervously} [6/8] Ope: It only grows in an infested cave filled with creepy crawlies. And I'm clearly in no condition to go get it myself! {explaining} [7/8] Tasim: Well, alright! We're here to help, after all, so... We'll get you that herb! {normally} [8/8] Ope: Perfect. I'll bring you to the cave, and you can do the rest from there. Follow me, soldiers! {relieved} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Ope: Well, here we are! The cave's right over there - just climb up the rocks and jump into it. [2/4] Ope: Hm... There's two of you. Good! One of you can climb up into that cave, and the other can protect me from the crawly spiders down here! [PLAYED] [3/4] Tasim: Alright! soldier, you can go into the cave, and I can defend Ope here while you do that. [4/4] Ope: Good, good. Well, good luck in there! Try not to get bitten too much by the spiders! [1/1] Tasim: I can handle it down here, soldier. You just need to go into that cave and find the herb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/10] Ope: There you are! It feels like we've been waiting for hours. {relieved} [2/10] Tasim: It... really hasn't been that long. Maybe ten minutes at most. {confused} [3/10] Ope: Well-... Anyway! Do you have the herb? It's very- uh, important! To cure me. Yep. {nervously} [4/10] Ope: There it is! Eheh. Thank you kindly for your work, soldiers! Now, about your payment... Let's see, what do I have... {relieved} [5/10] Ope: Oh. I seem to be out of emeralds. Well- I can, uh, offer some advice! There's lots to find in this forest. Plenty of caves with valuables to explore! Might be worth your time. {normally} [6/10] Tasim: Wait, are you seriously not going to- {shocked} [7/10] Ope: It has been a time, soldiers, but I truly must be going! We're near Alekin Village, you should stop on by! Just keep going east down the main road! Go and speak to the mayor! He can cover my expenses! [8/10] Ope: Well. Goodbye! {hurriedly} [9/10] Tasim: ... [10/10] Tasim: That's... frustrating. He seemed shady from the start, I should have-... Well. What's done is done. Let's go speak to that mayor. {disappointed} [1/1] Tasim: I'm going to go on ahead. I'll meet you in Alekin Village, it's just up ahead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Mayor Alvin: Ah, travelers... welcome to our humble forest town. Have you come to stay, or are you simply passing through? {welcoming} [2/6] Tasim: Probably the latter. Though, we ran into a man named Ope, who directed us to speak with you. {explaining} [3/6] Mayor Alvin: Oh, Ope... I take it your meeting with him went poorly? I must apologize for him, he is... a tough man to deal with. {sadly} [4/6] Mayor Alvin: Here, I may offer you a small sum of emeralds as an apology. I hope he has not soured your opinion of our small town, here... {normally} [5/6] Tasim: Oh... Thank you. That's very kind of you. We'll probably stay for a while, before we continue towards Detlas. {gratefully} [6/6] Mayor Alvin: Then feel free to make yourselves at home! We welcome all travelers here, no matter how long their stay is. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Tasim: I'm going to go rest up a little. I'll be ready for more adventure soon though, don't worry! {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Mayor Alvin: Ah, hello! What can I do for you today? {friendily} What's the deal with Ope? [1/4] Mayor Alvin: He's... difficult. He's the son of my sister, who was unfortunately killed by spiders some time ago. {sadly} [2/4] Mayor Alvin: With his father out of the picture, I had to take him in. He's a grown man now, yes, but... I fear the loss has taken its toll on us both. {sadly} [3/4] Mayor Alvin: I truly hope he will cease with these ridiculous ploys sometime soon... but I can't bring myself to do more than give him a stern talking to. {explaining} [4/4] Mayor Alvin: He's a good man, truly. I believe that with my whole heart. It's alright if you don't feel the same way, though. I will not force you to interact with him if you do not wish to. {explaining} How long have you been mayor? [1/4] Mayor Alvin: Oh, dear... I suppose it must have been fifteen years ago that I took the position, when the old mayor stepped down. {explaining} [2/4] Mayor Alvin: He was a kind man, always looking out for the townsfolk. Though, by the time he retired, it was clear he was growing restless in our little town. {normally} [3/4] Mayor Alvin: Well, as soon as he passed down the position to me, he immediately traveled to Detlas and enlisted in their army! I hear he's in the business of training soldiers these days. {normally} [4/4] Mayor Alvin: Ah, but I've tried to live up to his legacy. I like to think I've done well in my time as mayor! {normally} Just passing through. [1/1] Mayor Alvin: A fine day for passing through! I hope you enjoy your stay. {normally}
