Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} Gracen worries a lot about Aryn, because he's probably his only child. He is desperate and starts to lose hope that his son is still alive. He puts all his hopes into the player and so is extremely happy when they save his son. Aryn overestimated his own strength and is scared of the evil spirit. He knows he can't fight him, so he tries pleading. Once the player defeats the spirit, he starts to act like the spirit had no chance against him and his tribe. That's caused by the euphoria that he's finally free again. [1/10] Gracen: Excuse me, traveller... I am dreadfully sorry to ask this of you, but I need your help. {desperate and shy or hesitant} You see, my son, Aryn. Very recently, he underwent a traditional coming-of-age ceremony from our tribe. {urgent, worried} He was tasked to enter the dangerous Dernel Jungle, just south of here, and brave the wilderness for three days. He returned a true man, successful. {urgent, still worried but with a slightly proud subtone at the end} However... He also brought with him an odd purple gemstone. Our shaman saw it as a bad omen, but I was so caught up in the celebrations, I brushed it off. {more worried, regretful} Strange happenings began around the village. Aryn walked about at night, talking to someone, but no one else was there with him. {even more worried} Just last sunrise, he vanished entirely. We sent out a search for him, but even our hardiest warriors could not venture deep into the jungle. {desperate} We returned empty-handed, having lost our newest tribesman. The village is in terrible spirits, and I feel as though I am responsible. {pitiful} You Wynn warriors, however... Great stories are told of your exploits. Surely, you will be able to brave the jungle, yes? {pleadingly, hoppefuly, desperately} I beg of you, please, find my son. I do not know quite where he is, but undoubtedly he has been taken quite a ways in... {desperately pleading, then suddenly like he just realised something} Hm, I just now am seeing a strange trail on the ground... it matches the color of the gemstone! It may take you to him, please, follow it! {excited, hopeful, but still desperate} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Aryn: P-please, I beg of you spirit, let me go free! The tribesmen must be so worried- {scared, pleading} [2/4] Aryn?: DO NOT RESIST, BOY! YOUR BODY IS MINE. I WAS TRAPPED IN THAT STONE FOR MILLENIA, AND NOW I AM FREE. {firm, excited, the same voice as Aryn, but with an instane and evil subtone} [3/4] Aryn: Aha, I hear someone coming! Surely a tribesman here to rescue me! {hopeful or a little triumphal} [4/4] Aryn?: Oh! If so, the body of this warrior will be far better suited to my needs! Grant me your power, boy! I need to thrash them first to possess them! {more excited, then strict and firm} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Aryn: Hahah, take that, evil wraith! You'll never match the power of our tribe- {happy, excited} W-wait, you aren't part of our tribe! Who are you, why did you come here? {surprised, still happy} Oh... My father sent you? Well, I am very impressed, Wynn warrior. You fight with the ferocity of our own! {glad, then admiringly} I...can't say the same for myself. That spirit completely overtook me, I still can't move right now... {a bit embarrassed, with a worried subtone} For now, please. Take away this gemstone. It caused all this, I don't want to be near such a bad luck charm. {clear} Tell the tribe that I will return on my own. I made it back once, I can do it again once I am prepared. {a little pleadingly, determinedly} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Gracen: Oh my... Aryn was possessed by a spirit residing within the gemstone? {surprised, worried} How shameful... Our shaman has never been wrong before, why did I disregard his warning... {embarrassed, regretful} But that is beside the point. You say you have destroyed the spirit, and it does not feel tainted any longer, so I will trust you. {hopeful and relieved} Looking at it now, this is actually quite a valuable stone. If crushed to dust, it can be used in special charms we make. {wondering} Here, allow me to grind this down for you. You can keep the shards for whatever purposes you may find for them in the future. {friendly} Our tribe, and especially myself... We thank you for your service. We shall consider you one of our own, from this day forward. {thankful, admiring, good-hearted} In fact, if you'd like, you may even enter my house here whenever you'd like. {suggestive, friendly}
