Dialogue
(#0) Engineer Orsten: Innovative weapons and tools are my life! Whether for plowing or killing, my gear’s the best. (→ #1)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I want to buy something. (→ end)
- 1: Not now. (→ #2)
(#2) Engineer Orsten: Farewell. (→ end)
(#3) Engineer Orsten: Innovative weapons and tools are my life! Whether for plowing or killing, my gear’s the best. (→ #4)
(#4) Engineer Orsten: Don’t get your hopes up too much, there’s, ah... pretty large taxes on my goods. (→ #1)
A Knife in the Back
(#5) Engineer Orsten: Ah, I’ve been waiting for you. Do you have Mr Berthelot’s package? (→ #6)
(#6) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Here you go. He said you’d know what to do with it. (→ #7)
(#7) Engineer Orsten: So, this is distilled Immaculate blood, huh? I don’t know how you Soroboreans got it, nor how you distilled it, but I can work with this. Let’s see if Victor’s little theory will hold water... (→ #8)
(#8) Engineer Orsten: I was hoping to have everything I needed to start work on the coil right away, but unfortunately I’m missing some essential components and most of the city’s mercenaries are too busy hunting down the Sand Corsairs to help me out. (→ #9)
(#9) Engineer Orsten: Victor told me you can handle a little danger. I’ll need you to acquire a few things from in an old ruin called the Electric Lab. It’s to the North, down from the cliff we’re on. An explorer has confirmed all that we need is in there, you just need to find them. (→ #10)
(#10) Engineer Orsten: I absolutely need a chunk of the huge red crystal that’s been reported deep in the bowels of the lab. Without a piece of a Heavily Corrupted Mana Stone, there’s no way for this Coil to properly hold the charge while surrounded by Immaculate Blood. (→ #11)
(#11) Engineer Orsten: If you can also supply a bottle of Lightning Grease, three replacement valves, and a normal Power Coil, things would go significantly smoother. (→ #13)
(#13) Multiple-choice:
- 0: You’re asking for quite a bit of stuff... (→ #14)
- 1: Can’t you send the guy who confirmed that these things are in the Electric Lab? (→ #18)
(#14) Engineer Orsten: Like I said, I only REALLY need a chunk of the large red crystal, but the end result will be considerably better the more of the other parts you bring in. (→ #15)
(#15) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Can’t you send the guy who confirmed that these things are in the Electric Lab? (→ #16)
- 1: I’ll be back when I have the components you need, then. (→ end)
(#16) Engineer Orsten: He’s long gone. The guy lost his partner to a Hive Lord and gave up on adventuring entirely. I can’t say I blame him, after a loss like that. (→ #17)
(#17) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I’ll be back when I have the components you need, then. (→ end)
(#18) Engineer Orsten: He’s long gone. The guy lost his partner to a Hive Lord and gave up on adventuring entirely. I can’t say I blame him, after a loss like that. (→ #19)
(#19) Engineer Orsten: Like I said, I only REALLY need a chunk of the large red crystal, but the end result will be considerably better the more of the other parts you bring in. (→ #17)
(#20) Engineer Orsten: Victor told me you can handle a little danger. I’ll need you to acquire a few things from in an old ruin called the Electric Lab. It’s to the North, down from the cliff we’re on. An explorer has confirmed all that we need is in there, you just need to find them. (→ #21)
(#21) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I have the items you needed. (→ #22)
- 1: Farewell. (→ end)
(#22) Engineer Orsten: Are you certain? I want the items all at once. If there is something you are missing, go get it now. (→ #23)
(#23) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I have everything I want to hand over. Here’s that Corrupted crystal you wanted... (→ #24)
- 1: I’m leaving. (→ end)
(#24) Engineer Orsten: Wow, when that adventurer said the Mana Stone had been “Corrupted” he wasn’t kidding. Then again...The Devourer was slain above that lab...The blood leaking into the place must have...*cough* Yes, this altered Mana crystal will do nicely. (→ #41)
(#25) Engineer Orsten: Victor told me you can handle a little danger. I’ll need you to acquire a few things from in an old ruin called the Electric Lab. It’s to the North, down from the cliff we’re on. An explorer has confirmed all that we need is in there, you just need to find them. (→ #26)

(#27) Engineer Orsten: If you can also supply a bottle of Lightning Grease, three replacement valves, and a normal Power Coil, things would go significantly smoother. (→ #0)
(#29) Player: I’ve got a spare power coil for you. (→ #32)
(#32) Engineer Orsten: Thank you. I’ll make some tweaks to these, and then Victor can replace the Power Coil housing in his Golems with these modified ones. They’ll provide a much smoother power transfer, allowing for more raw power when needed. (→ #34)
(#34) Engineer Orsten: Perfect, that’ll help this thing maintain a charge for considerably longer. Mr Berthelot’s instructions did say efficiency was important! (→ end)
(#35) Engineer Orsten: Alright, I’ve gotten most of the unit’s housing prepared while you were out. Give me just a moment to put it all together and test it... (→ #36)
(#36) Engineer Orsten: Jolly good. This prototype looks like it’s going to hold up just fine. I wouldn’t rely on it for heavy duty work, but I’m sure your people at the Academy will be able to refine the design further. Tell Mr Berthelot it was nice doing business with him. (→ #37)
(#37) Engineer Orsten: Oh, by the way, while you’re in Harmattan, mind delivering this other item to the Arcane Dean, a Mr Turnbull? He’d put in a request for a device to measure runic frequencies not long ago, and I’ve just now put the finishing touches on it. (→ #38)
(#38) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Well, as long as I’m going there, sure. (→ #39)
- 1: You keep asking a LOT from me, you know. (→ #40)
(#39) Engineer Orsten: Alright, see to it that both items get where they are needed. Don’t forget to put in a good word for me with both of them! I need all the good business I can get! (→ end)
(#40) Engineer Orsten: How about I pay you for the transport in advance? You’re going to Harmattan anyway, so what’s the big deal? (→ #39)
(#41) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I’ve got a spare power coil for you. (→ #42)
- 1: I’ve got your three replacement valves. (→ #43)
- 2: Here’s a bottle of Lightning Grease. (→ #44)
- 3: That’s all I have for the job. (→ #35)
(#42) Engineer Orsten: Ah, thank you. There’s a few small parts in these that I’m going to need to use...Making new Power Coils from scratch is a science we haven’t completely figured out, but we’re getting closer with each new one. (→ #41)
(#43) Engineer Orsten: Thank you. I’ll make some tweaks to these, and then Victor can replace the Power Coil housing in his Golems with these modified ones. They’ll provide a much smoother power transfer, allowing for more raw power when needed. (→ #41)
(#44) Engineer Orsten: Perfect, that’ll help this thing maintain a charge for considerably longer. Mr Berthelot’s instructions did say efficiency was important! (→ #41)
