Don't worry about getting me medical attention, I've got this under control... {painfully} [2/14] Narder: It's a broken leg. I'm already getting it treated, but I have a job to do elsewise- and a time sensitive one, too. {explaining, regretfully} [3/14] Narder: I won't be able to do it like this, but it doesn't matter if I'm the one who carries it out. It just needs to be done. {resignedly} [4/14] Narder: I don't work for villagers, I was hired to come here by other humans... there's something you must keep secret. {explaining} [5/14] Narder: Swear it! If you're going to take the job, and my payment for it, you must be silent about it! {intensely} [6/14] Narder: Do you agree? {intensely} [7/14] Narder: Good. To business then. {relieved} [8/14] Narder: There is a hidden town in the canyon here. Up in the mountains- it was built and run by humans. {explaining} [9/14] Narder: Now, the villagers have very strict rules about humans living in their lands, and it's VERY illegal. {explaining} [10/14] Narder: I was contacted by the Mayor because he is aware that the town may have become... compromised. {explaining} [11/14] Narder: The job is to figure out who and why, of course. To let this slip could collapse the treatise between our races. {explaining} [12/14] Narder: I've never been to the city in the mountains, but I was given instructions. Here, I'll write down the location in your book. {explaining} [13/14] Narder: Be aware though, they won't let you in unless the area is safe. They can't risk villagers wandering in. {explaining, wary undertone} [14/14] Narder: Good luck. {normally} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Curious Villager: Hm? Oh, a fellow adventurer, I see! I'm sorry, but this discovery is mine to make. There's something strange about that door... {dismissively, thoughtfully} [2/4] Curious Villager: Deadly gasses? Nonsense! As you can see the two of us are breathing just fine. {skeptically} [3/4] Curious Villager: You want me to leave? Why, so that you can have all of the glory for yourself? Ha, not a chance! {annoyedly} [4/4] Curious Villager: The only way I'm leaving is if I can get that door open or if the whole cave starts crashing down on us. {arrogantly, flippantly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Curious Villager: Gweh! I just had to go running my mouth about the cave collapsing! I'm out- if you have any sense you'll leave too! {scared, shocked} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Eltom Guard: Thank you for getting rid of that curious villager! We thought he'd never leave. {gratefully, annoyedly} [2/6] Eltom Guard: I've never seen you before. Who gave you access to the town? {curiously} [3/6] Eltom Guard: You're here in place of the detective the mayor hired? {suprised undertone} [4/6] Eltom Guard: Normally, I wouldn't believe that, but come in. We're desperate. {resignedly} [5/6] Eltom Guard: If you ever need to leave and get back, I can simply open the way. {explaining} [6/6] Eltom Guard: You probably should be going now. Our mayor can get impatient. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Eoric: What are you doing here? I'm writing an important letter, this better be worth my time. {annoyedly} [2/8] Eoric: What? Narder sent you? Why'd he send a Ragni soldier? {incredulously} [3/8] Eoric: I didn't think the army were authorized to know about Eltom, especially Fruma recruits. {thoughtfully} [4/8] Eoric: Anyway, Eltom's secrecy is in great danger. We have found evidence of a traitor. {angrily} [5/8] Eoric: We have locked down all of the exits. No one leaves or enters without my permission. {explaining} [6/8] Eoric: We need a detective to sniff out the traitor and expose him. {explaining} [7/8] Eoric: Start by asking the citizens around here about anything suspicious they've seen. {explaining} [8/8] Eoric: When you find the culprit, remember to leave him alive! The guards will take care of him. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Reder: Sorry, detective, but I haven't seen anything suspicious. In fact, I haven't even left my house for the last week. {apologetically} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Nichye: The only suspicious thing I've seen is a hooded man walking around. There's not many people in Eltom, so it's weird. {worriedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Sybeth: If you want to find out anything, the best person to ask is Lumilda. She's in her bakery, next to the Scroll Shop. {explaining} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] Lumilda: Ah, detective! What brings you to the sweet Lumilda's Bakery? {curiously} [2/6] Lumilda: Hm, yes, there is a weird person coming through. {worriedly} [3/6] Lumilda: It's a hooded man. Never seen the face. A trouble maker, if you ask me! {explaining, worried undertone} [4/6] Lumilda: He's been here a few times, usually writing things on a piece of paper. That man's a real mystery. No one even knows where he lives. {explaining} [5/6] Lumilda: One time my grandson couldn't resist and followed the man. Last thing he saw was the man leaving through the Eastern Exit. {explaining} [6/6] Lumilda: Ain't that a place to start, sweetheart? {cheerfully} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/6] ???: Ah, you must be the detective. None of those half-witted Eltomites could figure it out. {disdainfully} //Ardulf [2/6] ???: I guess the grook is out of the pen then. {resignedly} //Ardulf [3/6] ???: This town shouldn't even be here. Humans aren't allowed to settle in Gavel. {explaining, angry undertone} //Ardulf [4/6] ???: These humans couldn't be bothered to fight their own war, so they hid an entire city here. {disgustedly} //Ardulf [5/6] ???: Traitor? I'm no traitor. I'm just looking to carry out the law where it needs to be carried out. Nothing personal, yes? {explaining} //Ardulf [6/6] Ardulf: Maybe they'll actually use ""Ardulf"" instead of saying ""freak"" once they've seen the good I can do for them! {passionately} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Hilan: H-h-help! {desperate} [2/5] Hilan: Hooded man... Climbed tower... {panicked, hurt} [3/5] Hilan: Demanded to use a ship... I refused... {panicked, out of breath} [4/5] Hilan: He beat me up... And left... {desperate, panicked} [5/5] Hilan: Hurry! {intensely} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Ardulf: What are you doing here? Why are you protecting this illegal town? {questioning, shocked} [2/4] Ardulf: The Villagers will not be happy about Eltom. This could seriously harm the Gavel-Wynn relationship. {explaining} [3/4] Ardulf: You can't stop me. You wouldn't murder one of your own, would you? {passionately, curiously} [4/4] Ardulf: I will tell the mayor of Thesead all about this place, and claim my reward for doing so. I will be rich and if you want to stop me you'll have to do it yourself. {determinedly} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/7] Thesead's Mayor: What brings a human to my office? {somewhat suprised} [2/7] Thesead's Mayor: A letter? Oh, that. The one about Eltom? Don't look so worried. The secret is safe with me. {normally, disinterested undertone} [3/7] Thesead's Mayor: Yes, I know about Eltom. After all, its mayor is my ex-husband. {normally} [4/7] Thesead's Mayor: It may seem odd, a love between a villager and a human. I know, but our race did not stop us from being in love. {explaining, passionately} [5/7] Thesead's Mayor: The person who left the letter about Eltom is our son, Ardulf. As soon as Eoric found out about our child, he panicked and left me. {sadly} [6/7] Thesead's Mayor: Ardulf will never be accepted as a half breed... Still, I hope he's OK. {worriedly} [7/7] Thesead's Mayor: Huh, oh yeah, one more thing. The switch under the table... go on, press it! {cheerfully}
