Emotions will be displayed as: text {emotion} Captain Fenor is a friendly military officer, who wants to encourage new recruits by giving them not very dangerous, but useful tasks. He isn't arrogant towards them. Sergeant Klafson is similar to Captain Fenor, but a little less friendly and more professional. He values soldiers who serve the province well. Miner Linton is also a friendly dude with a similar status as the player. He cares about his job but doesn't really "tryhard" it. He doesn't feel the need to attempt to understand things, that aren't obvious to him. Drale is... well... Drale. This NPC has quite a history, it was reworked a few times. He was once mistaken for a cow by Bylvis, who took care of him and Drale liked some aspects of it. However, he escaped because he lacked freedom and is now treating other cows as beings with similar feelings. Bylvis is an average farmer from Katoa Ranch. He is proud of his clean stable and his healthy cows inside. He isn't paranoid though and doesn't think that the player wants to steal those cows - he thinks that the player is in the stable by an accident. [1/5] Captain Fenor: Ah! You must be a new recruit! Well, I've got a mission for you. {firmly, good-hearted} There's an old cave behind me. It was used in the Corruption Wars... {clearly, lively} We used it for quick and easy travel between Detlas and Ragni. It's been abandoned for years. {clearly} This cave could prove to be very useful for future recruits who need to travel between Detlas and Ragni. {enthusiastically} Now, here's where you come in- I need you to clear out that cave route so we can use it once more! Good luck, soldier! {clearly, with a friendly subtone} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/3] Miner Linton: Ah, recruit! You must be the one Cap'n Fenor sent! {collegially, friendly} Well, let's get started then! {light-hearted} Help me clear this debris. Just walk up to it and give it a good shove for me! {normal, with a friendly subtone} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Miner Linton: Nice job! Let's move cautiously, We don't really know what's down here... {supportive, careful} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Miner Linton: Wait... Do you hear that? Ah, monsters! Do your job soldier! {hesitantly, then a little scared for a while and finally firm} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Miner Linton: Wha?! {surprised or a little desperate} Ah, that cave-in just blocked the path! Defend me while I try and make a hole! {annoyed, clear} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Miner Linton: Keep it up! I think I'm half way there! {supportive} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Miner Linton: Aha! I can see the other side! Just a little more... {encouragingly} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Miner Linton: Got it, I made a hole! Quickly, let's go before we're overrun! {triumphantly} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/5] Miner Linton: This cave barely seems worth the trouble to me... {pitifully} This wall of debris is much too big for us to be able to move. What do we do now? {desperate, wondering} hmm... Maybe if we- wait, what's happening to the wall to the right? {hesitantly and wondering, then surprised and a little scared} [4/5] ???: Oh, uh... Hi... Well, this is a little awkward... I'll just... Go. {caught by surprise, hesitantly, embarassed} // Drale [5/5] Miner Linton: ...Who in the world was that? You can go check that hole out if you want, but I'll stay here and try to think of a solution to this debris. {in disbelief, suggestively, still a little desperate} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/4] Drale: Oh... Didn't expect you to follow me... Well, um... Hi! This will sound mad but... {hesitantly, nervously} I'm Drale, and I'm on a mission to free these cows from the enslavement of Katoa Ranch. {kinda urgent} Those farmers stole those cows. They are sacred animals. Now they're about to turn them into steak! If you were to help me, maybe I could help you... {upset, then pleadingly and suggestively} Go free those innocent cows from enslavement! Gosh I wish I was a cow. {pleadingly, then dreamily} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Bylvis: Ah, good to see my cows are all in tip-top shape! Welp, time to feed the townsfolk again! {satisfied} {Open the gates of the cow pens to free them! Don't let the farmer see you!} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {if you fail} [1/2] Bylvis: Huh? Hey! {surprised} What do you think you're doing down here? This is private property, you know! {inquiringly and confused, with an upset subtone, but not necessarily hostile} {you were caught! Try again!} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {if you succseed} {Looks like you freed the cows successfully. You should return back to Drale.} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Drale: Thank you so much, but we're not done yet. We need to get these cows out the province. {happy, then determinately} There's a small opening behind me. Go through it and help me get these cows on a raft to Gavel! {clear, excited} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/1] Drale: There's the raft! Help me push it for the cows! {loud, more excited} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Drale: And, that should do it! Be free, my friends! A new life awaits! {satisfied, happy} Again, thank you so much for what you have done this day. These cows deserve a better life than being farm animals. {thankful, thoughtfully} {How long have you been helping this lunatic steal cows? You realize you should probably get back to Linton.} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/11] Miner Linton: Recruit, what took you so long? I've been waiting for an hour! What were you doing? {surprised, inquiringly} ...You helped some crazy cow-obsessed lunatic steal cows from the local farm? Recruit, that's against the law you know... {in disbelief, then responsibly} Oh, what do I care? Silly Bovemists. {carelessly} Either way, we still don't have any means to get rid of this giant pile of rubble... {rueful} [5/11] Drale: Hello again, friend! Did I hear you needed help? Well, have no fear! Cows, to me! {happy, excited, friendly} [6/11] Miner Linton: What in the world? {very surprised} [7/11] Drale: Since you helped me with my problem, I thought I should repay that favor by helping you! {friendly} Welp, see ya! Oh, and nice to meet you, miner! Now, let's get going my cows! {friendly, then good-hearted and finally excited} [9/11] Miner Linton: ...What just happened? Am I seeing things? You know what, I don't want to know. {in disbelief, then carelessly and light-hearted} Anyway, why don't you go on ahead? I'll be here guarding this passage so nothing else bad happens to it. {light-hearted, friendly} It was an honor to adventure with you, recruit! {admiringly, good-hearted} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1/2] Sergeant Klafson: Recruit, Captain Fenor told me to meet you here, said if you came out on this side of that tunnel then you completed your mission! {clearly} You did a great deed today, soldier! We can now use this cave to travel easily between Ragni and Detlas! Great job! {proudly, clearly}
