Dialogue
(#2) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Ah, you. I’ve been expecting you. I see the Academic Provost has approved your application. (→ #3)
(#3) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Yeah, after making me jump through a bunch of hoops. (→ #4)
- 1: I’m eager for the opportunity, sir. (→ #15)
(#4) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: If that’s a dealbreaker for you, then you might want to rethink your application to Sorobor Academy. If you intend to rise through the ranks here, you will need to put in a lot of time and diligence, whether academic or mercantile. (→ #5)
(#5) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You’ve proven you can be of use, so I have little doubt you’ll be able to find yourself a place here, even with your blood price payments to manage. But I do wish to impress upon you what joining Sorobor means... (→ #6)
(#6) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: When the Scourge came knocking on Harmattan’s gates, and the old nobles argued and delayed, it was us who seized the day. We formed a meritocracy, based on what each of us could do to reinvent the future. (→ #7)
(#7) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: We took our humble university, and turned it into a power to rival the entirety of the Blue Chamber Collective. To join us is to commit to being a part of that legacy. Are you prepared to rise to that challenge? (→ #8)
(#8) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You must be bold, curious, and driven to earn not just your daily bread, but also the respect of your peers. We have a reputation for being the ones who can solve any problem, and acquire any item, and we expect you to live up to it. (→ #9)
(#9) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I need to think this over. (→ #10)
- 1: Sign me up. I’ll surpass those expectations! (→ #11)
(#10) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Very well. Your application will remain open. Return whenever you feel you are ready. There’s no need to rush. (→ end)
(#11) Player: (This is a turning point in my life...Am I ready to commit to the Sorobor Academy?) (→ #12)
(#12) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I need to think this over. (→ #10)
- 1: Sign me up. I’ll surpass those expectations! (→ #13)
(#13) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Then, done. Welcome to Sorobor Academy, [PlayerName]. As of this moment, you are an apprentice here. (→ #14)
(#14) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Take your time getting to know the town and academy. Once you’re settled in, try to make yourself useful, and see if one of our Deans will take you under their wing. That will be all, [PlayerName]. Off you trot. (→ end)
(#15) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You’ll go far here with an outlook like that. If you intend to rise through the ranks here, you will need to put in a lot of time and diligence, whether you try seek success in the academic or mercantile realms. (→ #5)
(#16) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: I’m afraid I’m quite busy, [PlayerName]. Unless it’s urgent, I have no time for you. (→ end)
(#20) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You’re one of Turnbull’s Initiates, aren’t you? I must confess my shock that you would do something as foolhardy as bringing an Immaculate into the city. (→ #21)
(#21) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: I sincerely hope that Turnbull can actually prove that it is possible to pacify them. If he’s wrong...There may be considerable consequences for the danger that he put our Academy in. (→ end)
(#22) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: It’s really a shame that Turnbull’s project had to be shelved...But it’s for the greater good. (→ end)
(#23) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: We’re keeping the success of the Pacification project under wraps for now, until Turnbull finishes the large scale application of the runes. But not long from now, it will be time to make this dream a reality. (→ #24)
(#24) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You’ve been a credit to the Academy, Initiate. Now, if you’d start turning in some research or a thesis of your own, perhaps we could raise that to Scholar, hmm? *chuckle* (→ end)
Side-quests
(#0) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I found evidence that someone from Sorobor was involving in kidnapping and murder. (→ #1)
- 1: I killed the Rust Lich that was threatening the city. (→ #7)
- 2: I want to train with you. (→ #17)
- 3: Farewell. (→ end)
(#1) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: What? Let me see...Ah, Jager. What have you done? Give me this proof, and I will see justice done. All of Sorobor Academy will owe you a great debt for your actions. (→ #2)
(#2) Multiple-choice:
- 0: And what about the culprit? (→ #3)
- 1: Deal, here’s the evidence! (→ #6)
- 2: ...I think someone else might give me a better deal. I’ll think about it. (→ end)
(#3) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: A bounty will be put on his head for these murders. Whether he is slain in the field like a common bandit, or dragged back here in chains to face justice properly, I care not. There will be no blood price, only his death, for such unethical behaviour. (→ #4)
(#4) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: The rest of the world must know that Sorobor Academy will not tolerate the use of mass kidnapping and murder as a tool of research. I will not have such a black mark on our reputation, after we have done so much to secure our prominence. (→ #5)
(#5) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Deal, here’s the evidence! (→ #6)
- 1: ...I think someone else might give me a better deal. I’ll think about it. (→ end)
(#6) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Sorobor is in your debt, [PlayerName]. I will not forget it. I will be sure to repay the favor, if someday you are ever in great need. (→ end)
(#7) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Yes, I’m aware. There was quite an impressive spike in local Mana when you destroyed his Phylactery. That must have been some fight he put up. (→ #8)
(#8) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: I wish it hadn’t come to his death. I don’t approve of what was done to him by our forefathers. It was a good idea, implemented wrongly...But I do understand why they did it. (→ #9)
(#9) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Why would the Soroboreans from a hundred years ago DO that to him? (→ #10)
(#10) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: The old elected nobles not only more or less rigged the elections to ensure power never truly slipped away from them, but Lord Duvernay was one of the worst. I suspect he didn’t care if people used as Golem commanders were actual volunteers or not. (→ #11)
(#11) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: From what I understand, he was the only noble who didn’t hide away in what is now Old Harmattan when the Scourge hit...But he thought that fact gave him the right to command everyone else, regardless of their consent, and regardless of the harm. (→ #12)
(#12) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: In the end...I suppose that makes his punishment fit his crimes. (→ #13)
(#13) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Will you tell the citizens the truth about what happened? (→ #14)
(#14) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: I don’t see how we can, without causing serious and unnecessary harm to Sorobor’s reputation, or without seriously unbalancing our understanding of history. I’m afraid it’s for the best if the full truth remains buried, at least in the official sense. (→ #15)
(#15) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: You have earned a great reward for your deeds, [PlayerName]. Put it to good use. Thank you, for putting these ancient crimes to rest. (→ end)
(#16) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: It’s only unfortunate that you weren’t able to stop this before he attacked the city. Thank you for putting these ancient crimes to rest. (→ end)
(#17) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: I have a little something I can teach you. The Doom Hex primes your foe to take considerably more damage from lightning. I’m feeling charitable, how does 50 silver sound? (→ #18)
(#18) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Deal, here’s your money. (→ #19)
- 1: No, thanks. (→ end)
(#19) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Good. Now, pay attention...Use your magic to generate a little ball of static between your thumb and ring finger and then- (→ #20)
(#20) Headmaster Raul Salaberry: -There, just like that! The effect of that static will make them quite vulnerable to additional shocks! (→ end)
