General Dialogue
(#0) Damian Lockwell: Well, spit it out. (→ #1)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: We need to talk about that trouble in the swamp. (→ end)
- 1: What’s on your mind? (→ end)
(#2) Damian Lockwell: I'm a busy man, visitor. If you don’t have business with me, move along. (→ end)
Looking to the Future
(#0) Damian Lockwell: I'm a busy man, visitor. If you don’t have business with me, move along. (→ end)
(#1) Damian Lockwell: So, you're a fellow mage, are you? Well, don't say I didn't warn you... Here, a gift from one mage to another. Considering all the nasty animals crawling in the swamp, this recipe might save your life! (→ #2)
(#2) Damian Lockwell: You just remember my warning. Don’t offer your free will to Elatt, he’ll gobble it right up. (→ end)
(#3) Damian Lockwell: I'm a busy man, visitor. If you don’t have business with me, move along. (→ #4)
(#4) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I was told to introduce myself to you, and that you need some kind of help. (→ #5)
(#5) Damian Lockwell: Oh, winds be damned, you're another stupid pilgrim aren't you? You listen to me, visitor, you can't trust Elatt. Do you know what happens to people who serve him? He puts just a little bit of his soul inside you, and it just grows and grows until you're not you anymore. (→ #6)
(#6) Damian Lockwell: I had to watch as someone I loved drifted further and further away, and then left forever without even bothering to say goodbye, all for this supposed "god". I don't know what Elatt is, but he's definitely not divine. If it wasn't for my opposition, I have no doubt he'd have enslaved this entire swamp by now! (→ #7)
(#7) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I'll keep what you said in mind. (→ #8)
- 1: The people of Monsoon owe you a lot. (→ #12)
- 2: You're raving. Elatt is the only reason we beat back the Scourge! (→ #13)
(#8) Damian Lockwell: Bah, if you bend your knee to Elatt, you soon won't have a mind to keep it in. Don't make that mistake. (→ #9)
(#9) Damian Lockwell: Look, you want to do something to help me? Become a mage. By being in tune with life's vibrations, you'll resist that... "thing's" influence far better than a normal person. (→ #10)
(#10) Damian Lockwell: Heed my warning, pilgrim. Do not sell your free will to Elatt. If your heart is set on taking that risk, become a mage. (→ #11)
(#11) Damian Lockwell: You know how to become a mage, right? You’ll need to travel to the Ley Line underneath the Conflux Mountain in the Chersonese. I know one of Elatt’s Champions usually hangs around the Holy Mission’s entrance to help new recruits. (→ end)
(#12) Damian Lockwell: Don't bother sweet-talking me, I don't care. If you value your free will, just stay as far away from that... "thing" as you can. (→ #9)
(#13) Damian Lockwell: Did he, though? It's awfully convenient for him that we have to depend on him to hold off the Scourge. How can we be sure he's not playing them like puppets to make us worship him? Trusting in him is foolish to the extreme. (→ #9)
(#14) Damian Lockwell: I'm a busy man, visitor. If you don’t have business with me, move along. (→ end)
Doubts and Secrets
(#0) Damian Lockwell: Take her and get out. The evidence was pretty clear anyway. She killed that disciple in self-defense. (→ end)
(#1) Damian Lockwell: Oliele? I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. I let her go already. Perhaps you just missed her? (→ #2)
(#2) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I'll go look for her, then. (→ end)
- 1: You and I both know that you're lying. (→ #3)
(#3) Damian Lockwell: Making accusations without proof? How very like someone serving that freakish spectral fiend. Oliele isn't here, you can see for yourself. (→ end)
(#4) Damian Lockwell: If this is about that woman I locked up, I’m not changing my mind. Until my investigation is complete, she does not leave that cell. (→ #5)
(#5) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I'm here as her friend. We grew up together. I’m worried about her treatment here. (→ #6)
(#6) Damian Lockwell: Ah. I understand. Unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that she’s here under suspicion of murder. You’ll just have to wait until we’re done our investigation. If it turns out it really was self-defense, we’ll let her go. (→ #7)
(#7) Multiple-choice:
- 0: You owe me, Lockwell. Let her go. It's not worth starting trouble over a self-defense case. (→ #8)
- 1: How about I speed that investigation along with some silver? (→ #10)
- 2: Let her go. Now. Or else. (→ #17)
(#8) Damian Lockwell: Well, I am a man of my word. Fine. The evidence was clear enough anyway. (→ #9)
(#9) Damian Lockwell: Take her and get out. The evidence was pretty clear anyway. She killed that disciple in self-defense. (→ end)
(#10) Damian Lockwell: Are you trying to bribe me? I suggest you think very hard about that decision. (→ #11)
(#11) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Here, I think 500 silvers should hire you a few more investigators. (→ #12)
- 1: Think of the improvements to Monsoon you could make with 200 silvers. (→ #14)
- 2: 100 silvers should cover her bail, right? (→ #16)
- 3: How does 50 silvers sound? (→ #16)
(#12) Damian Lockwell: My my, she must really mean a lot to you... Alright, I'll take it. I know a good deal when I see one. (→ #13)
(#13) Damian Lockwell: Take her and get out. The evidence was pretty clear anyway. She killed that disciple in self-defense. (→ end)
(#14) Damian Lockwell: Hmm... alright, I'll take it. I'll forget that you bribed me, this time. But I won't forget you. (→ #15)
(#15) Damian Lockwell: Take her and get out. The evidence was pretty clear anyway. She killed that disciple in self-defense. (→ end)
(#16) Damian Lockwell: Have you lost your mind? Why would I agree to this? Out with you, before I have you arrested for trying to bribe an official! (→ end)
(#17) Damian Lockwell: Or else what? Do you honestly think you can threaten a Chamberlord? (→ #18)
(#18) Multiple-choice:
- 0: If you threaten a member of the Holy Mission, you threaten all of us. (→ #19)
- 1: Do you really want to anger the god that was able to destroy the Scourge? (→ #23)
(#19) Damian Lockwell: Excuse me? This is my city. Not Elatt's. He's just squatting here. I am the one who rules Monsoon! (→ #20)
(#20) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Someone killed one of his champions, and now you're holding a missionary on flimsy charges. This makes you look mighty suspicious, Lockwell. (→ #21)
- 1: We respect your right to rule Monsoon... but if you keep pushing us like this, you will find that all of Monsoon will turn on you. Elatt will see to it. (→ #22)
(#21) Damian Lockwell: I don't care. Someone is dead in my city, and I'm not going to let the culprit go until we've had a proper investigation. End of story. Even Elatt should understand that. (→ #27)
(#22) Damian Lockwell: I can’t take that risk... but don’t think your precious “god” can get away with this extortion forever. If he thinks he can just eliminate our free will, he will find that Aurai will prove him wrong. (→ #28)
(#23) Damian Lockwell: And do you really believe that he would dare ruin his precious image by harming me? All for one lowly missionary? (→ #24)
(#24) Multiple-choice:
- 0: He doesn't need to. He could use this incident as a reason to revoke his protection over Monsoon and let the Scourge punish you instead. (→ #25)
- 1: We are all important to him. Punishing one Chamberlord for overstepping his bounds wouldn’t be out of line for him. (→ #26)
(#25) Damian Lockwell: Tch. I can’t take that chance. The people will not come to harm by my hand while I rule Monsoon. (→ #28)
(#26) Damian Lockwell: And I don't think he would. I'll take my chances, thank you. Consider your bluff called. (→ #27)
(#27) Damian Lockwell: Your threats don't scare me. I'm not going to let her go. And I'm not going to forget what you said to me. You’ve made a very powerful enemy today. (→ end)
(#28) Damian Lockwell: Fine. You win, you ruthless bastard. I won't forget this degrading talk, [PlayerName]. (→ #29)
(#29) Damian Lockwell: Take her and get out. The evidence was pretty clear anyway. She killed that disciple in self-defense. (→ end)
Hallowed Peacemaker
(#0) Damian Lockwell: Another god... Has no one learned the lesson the first time?! Mark my words, our descendants will be pawns in their power games over Aurai. Mark my words. (→ end)
(#1) Damian Lockwell: If you’re looking for those Levantin agents we arrested, they’re gone. They left this morning. I can assure you that I haven’t the slightest idea where they may be. (→ #2)
(#2) Multiple-choice:
- 0: We both know that’s a lie. You had them locked up in an old cellar in the swamp! (→ #3)
(#3) Damian Lockwell: What an absurd accusation. I released them! If they happened to be captured by the Blue Chamber moments after being set free, that’s their fault, not mine. (→ end)
(#4) Damian Lockwell: At long last the war pushes back, far from our borders. It is a good time to earn some gratitude from the Blue Chamber now that their victory is assured. (→ end)
Purifier
(#0) Damian Lockwell: I’ve been hearing rumors of extended criminal activity in the Hallowed Marsh area. You’ve been out there recently, correct? Can you give me a report? (→ #1)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: There are Immaculates working with Sorobor soldiers in the Marsh. (→ #2)
- 1: There was a gang of bandits that were attacking the Holy Mission. (→ #6)
- 2: Nothing I couldn’t handle, the situation is dealt with. (→ #9)
- 3: I’m leaving. (→ #10)
(#2) Damian Lockwell: Immaculates? Working with soldiers?! You’re certain? Dammit Elatt, what danger have you attracted to my city now?! (→ #3)
(#3) Multiple-choice:
- 0: They were funded by Sorobor and very well armed. They could be a threat to Monsoon in the future. (→ #4)
(#4) Damian Lockwell: Elatt damn it all. I'll hire some more guards and mercenaries to defend Monsoon until the threat has passed. Those idiots at the temple had better appreciate what I’m doing for the city they’re squatting in! (→ #5)
(#5) Damian Lockwell: If you want to do something about Sorobor’s involvement, you'll have better luck with someone else, preferably in Berg. There's not much I can do from here. (→ end)
(#6) Damian Lockwell: Oh, they were just interested in the Holy Mission? Then, frankly, what the Holy Mission does is its business. If their “god” can’t protect them from a few measly bandits, I don’t see how it’s my problem. (→ #7)
(#7) Multiple-choice:
- 0: They were funded by Sorobor and very well armed. They could be a threat to Monsoon in the future. (→ #8)
(#8) Damian Lockwell: Sorobor, you say? I don’t know why anyone from the Sorobor Academy would stoop to arming bandits, but even so, if they’re that well armed, they could pose a threat to my citizens. (→ #4)
(#9) Damian Lockwell: Oh. Well, good work then. I’m in a charitable mood, so I think I can offer you a bounty for dealing with the threat. (→ end)
(#10) Damian Lockwell: Come back to me later. (→ end)
(#11) Damian Lockwell: I'm a busy man, visitor. If you don’t have business with me, move along. (→ end)
