Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} Wirt is just a kid, who is in charge of informing anyone who wants to use the passage that they must become citizens first. He's not really a guard (it's a kid, who could he stop?), but in his imagination, he feels like one. He's happy when somebody wants to pass through and he can stop them, because it makes him feel important. Ildan is a recruiter of Troms army. As his job requires, he talks clearly and knows exactly what to say before he even starts talking. He's a practical man and his main concern is the safety of the fortress. That doesn't mean that he is cold-hearted though. He tries to help any soldier by telling him everything he knows. [1/3] Wirt: Not so fast, you! {trying to sound professional, but secretly happy that he can command someone} My dad said I can't let any strangers through this passage! {same, but more firm} If you want access, talk to him, he's the recruiter of the town! His name is Ildan. {firm, proud} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/10] Ildan: Oh! So you want to become a member of this town? {normal or slightly surprised} You will have to help us first, of course! {clearly} I'm sure you've noticed, but there is a tribe camp not too far from here. {clearly} They used to have a powerful chief, but he eventually died in battle. {normal, then slighlty regretful} The tribe couldn't bear the fact that he was dead. They performed some unethical necromancy spell on him. {normal, then kinda disgussted} They quickly realized that is was a bad idea, so they locked him in a tomb. {clearly, with an ironical subtone} He keeps reviving his minions and it's causing quite some problems to our army. {a bit upset} You can access the tomb from a sacrificial shrine I've heard, but I'm not sure how. There are probably hints nearby the shrine. {a bit uncertainly} Bring me back [1 Antic Bead] as a proof of its death, and I will let you become a citizen. {clearly} I've marked the direction to the shrine in your book. Good luck. {normal, with a supportive subtone} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/8] Ildan: Impressive! You got the bead! {admiringly} Well, welcome to this town, adventurer! You are now officially a citizen. {lively} Oh, but before you go! I do have a few things to say. First, about the beads here. {clearly} The tribesmen accept these as currency, so if you collect enough, I've heard they can offer you powerful masks. {normal, suggestively} Second, about the shrine. Now, this is just a rumor, but apparently that tomb is not unique. {lively, then quieter and uncertainly} There are supposed to be a bunch of these altars scattered around the province, even in Gavel too! {still quiter and slower} If true, you should look for them. While the fights will be tough, I would imagine great rewards could be gotten from them! {encouragingly, supportingly} Anyway, I've talked enough. I'm proud to have such a powerful fighter join our town! I wish you luck, friend! {suddenly, firmly, friendly at the end}
