The Mayor is a conspiratorial yet charismatic man whom the people of Lexdale think of as a leader. His voice should sound menacing and fearmongering. Amira is the young woman accused of being a witch. She is frightened and angry. The Tunnel Dweller Chieftian is bitter due to the decay's effect on their people. Because they are not referred to by pronouns in the quest, their gender is unknown. They do not want to kill the player, but they must if their people should survive for another day. Their voice should be deep, resigned, and slow. [1/9] The Mayor: We have an enemy amongst our own in Lexdale! This witch's illegal practice of dark magic threatens us! {powerful, accusing} [2/9] The Mayor: Ms. Amira's home was found to be plagued with spreading Decay! We must kill the witch to protect our sanctity! {angry} [3/9] Amira: WAIT! Let me GO already! I told you what was happening!! {frightened, frustrated} [4/9] The Mayor: The deceit of your dark magic won't work, Ms. Amira. Go quietly- leave us in peace! {menacing} [5/9] Amira: SHUT UP ALREADY! You can't just single people out like this!! {angry} [6/9] Amira: Just hear me out for a second! It's not me, something infected my home! That's the reason it was so dark!! {explaing yet panicked} [7/9] Amira: My basement, some outlandish thing dug into it! Wherever it went, the area withered and decayed! {panicked again, frustrated} [8/9] Amira: There's proof in my house that it wasn't me! It's the one that's decayed and barren! You'll see if you LOOK, you gorehound!! {angry} [9/9] The Mayor: Quit with the insults! We'll delay for now- If there's no proof of the witch's innocence she will be executed! {angry, determined} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: Further...intruders...? You are not of the worms...the parasites? {confused, questioning} [2/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: Another stranger... You must have witnessed the tunnels. They blight the stone, wither the roots, make lifeless the land... {explaining, sad} [3/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: And here, we starve in isolation. My people are lost, as the very earth itself warps and shifts. {bitter, sad} [4/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: The water, stagnant and gray. Nothing but those horrid magic scourges, and the worms themselves to sustain ourselves. {disgusted} [5/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: We cannot escape, for the sun scorches us. There is no place to go, no place we can burrow that they do not wait. {resignedly} [6/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: You... You... You have life. You have a heart, and muscle, and meat... To survive till this torture ends... {determined, sadly, resignedly} [7/7] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: Stranger, you must perish. {powerfully, resignedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Tunnel Dweller Chieftain: Wait... These earthquakes! IT'S THEM! AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! {confused, then shocked, then panicked} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] The Mayor: You're back. Did- Wait, what in the nine hells is THAT?! {confused, disgusted} [2/8] Amira: That! That was the thing in my basement!! I knew that human could find it! Thank you!! {excited, grateful} [3/8] Amira: That thing was spreading the decay through my house! It's NOT witches or magic like you suddenly DECIDED one day!! {angry} [4/8] The Mayor: ...Fine then. This...creature...bug...leech? This whatever-it-is... I'll accept your explanation. {slightly humbled, digusted} [5/8] The Mayor: Step off the podium, Ms. Amira. You're innocent. {quieter} [6/8] Amira: Gah, finally! You're seeing sense! It's almost like something just...took you over one day and never left 'til now! {relieved, thoughtful} [7/8] The Mayor: ...hm. That... Mmh. Regardless. Human, you've proven yourself to be trustworthy. We'll keep our doors open for you. {a bit confused, then normally} [8/8] The Mayor: As for the...THING... Well... I'll be sure to inform the Gavel government. {disgusted} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
