Initial Dialogue
(#0) Mofat: Watch yourself out in the Marsh. It’s never safe out there. Drop your guard for an instant and you’ll either be lizard food, or end up swimming in toxic water. (→ #1)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: What’s on your mind? (→ #2)
- 1: We need to talk about that trouble in the swamp. (→ end)
- 2: I want to train with you. (→ #5)
(#2) Mofat: I think I’ve tried every alchemical combination of ingredients in Aurai by this point. It’s hard to accept there may be no more discoveries! (→ end)
(#3) Mofat: Watch yourself out in the Marsh. It’s never safe out there. Drop your guard for an instant and you’ll either be lizard food, or end up swimming in toxic water. (→ end)
(#4) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Farewell. (→ end)
- 1: I want to train with you. (→ #5)
(#5) Mofat: For 50 silver, I can teach you a spell to summon a Boon of Blessing. It will protect you from the light and lightning magic from your opponents, and increase the power of your own. Interested? (→ #6)
(#6) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Deal, here’s your money. (→ #7)
- 1: No, thanks. (→ end)
(#7) Mofat: Alright, sit down. First, we must consider the relation that light and lightning have with one another and- (→ #8)
(#8) Mofat: Hey, now! Don't fall asleep on me! Well, at any rate, I think you've gotten the hang of the Bless Boon. Now, I finally have the money to buy that new alchemy set! (→ end)
Looking to the Future
(#0) Mofat: Watch yourself out in the Marsh. It’s never safe out there. Drop your guard for an instant and you’ll either be lizard food, or end up swimming in toxic water. (→ end)
(#1) Mofat: Ah, firefly powder! Exactly what I needed. Thank you, you've done good by me. Say... I’ll let you in on my secret recipe, my friend. Remember, moderation is the key. Drink this potion too often and you'll find yourself thinking in slow motion! (→ end)
(#2) Mofat: A new pilgrim, huh? It's good to see new blood come into the Holy Mission. I'm getting too old for active duty, shameful as that is. I miss the good old days when I could wallop a Scourge Beast with a mere quarterstaff! (→ #3)
(#3) Multiple-choice:
- 0: How old are we talking? (→ #4)
(#4) Mofat: I knew Elatt before he was a grown man. I can still remember a time before the Scourge, when Elatt and I would journey across Aurai without that threat hanging over us. (→ #5)
(#5) Mofat: Bourlamaque sent you to help me, didn't he? Good timing too. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. Wandering around at night in the marsh is getting very difficult for me. And I could really use some Firefly powder for one of my experiments. (→ #6)
(#6) Mofat: You know how to get firefly powder, right? Get some fireflies to follow you around and bring them to a kind of flat red flower. Then, collect the powder that the flower provides. (→ end)
(#7) Mofat: Watch yourself out in the Marsh. It’s never safe out there. Drop your guard for an instant and you’ll either be lizard food, or end up swimming in toxic water. (→ end)
(#8) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Farewell. (→ end)
- 1: I want to train with you. (→ #9)
(#9) Mofat: For 50 silver, I can teach you a spell to summon a Boon of Blessing. It will protect you from the light and lightning magic from your opponents, and increase the power of your own. Interested? (→ #10)
(#10) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Deal, here’s your money. (→ #11)
- 1: No, thanks. (→ end)
(#11) Mofat: Alright, sit down. First, we must consider the relation that light and lightning have with one another and- (→ #12)
(#12) Mofat: Hey, now! Don't fall asleep on me! Well, at any rate, I think you've gotten the hang of the Bless Boon. Now, I finally have the money to buy that new alchemy set! (→ end)
Questions and Corruption
(#0) Mofat: I think I’ve tried every alchemical combination of ingredients in Aurai by this point. It’s hard to accept there may be no more discoveries! (→ end)
Doubts and Secrets
(#0) Mofat: I’m shocked to hear about what happened to Zephyrien. He was an impressive fighter, and a friend to all. To hear that he was slain...This is a grave blow to all who follow Elatt. (→ end)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: This was the bullet that killed Zephyrien. What can you tell me about it? (→ #2)
(#2) Mofat: Give me a moment. I'll get my alchemy set and I'll let you know what I find out. (→ #3)
(#3) Mofat: This is a puzzle, [PlayerName]. The liquid is a mixture of Assassin Bug venom, and carefully distilled blood from an Immaculate, one of the man-like Scourge Beasts that can think and reason. I think the venom is designed to paralyze the victim, while the Immaculate's blood is the real killer. (→ #4)
(#4) Mofat: Assassin bugs only live in Abrassar desert, and only Sorobor would have the knowledge and equipment to distill something as dangerous as Scourge Beast blood to this level. (→ #5)
(#5) Mofat: To make things more complicated, this tsar stone bullet casing was clearly forged in the magma forges in Sirroco. Nothing else could have penetrated Zephyrien's Candle Armor so cleanly. (→ #6)
(#6) Mofat: So that's the Kingdom of Levant, the Immaculates, Sirroco, and Sorobor all possibly tied to the killing bullet… (→ #7)
(#7) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I will receive the Spiritual Communion. (→ #8)
(#8) Mofat: Any of them or all of them. Watch your back, my friend. Either someone has begun to make a move against the Holy Mission, or we’re being used as pawns in someone’s game. (→ end)
(#9) Mofat: I’ve been alive for a very long time, and I never seen a Council meeting that could harm the Holy Mission’s interests so much… (→ #10)
(#10) Mofat: The fact we have our own Chamberlord, Mathias, in Berg almost full-time does reassure me. I just hope he’s adept enough at playing politics to help us sidestep this crisis. (→ end)
Truth and Purpose
(#0) Mofat: Ach, the old ache in my neck is acting up again. I suppose even Elatt’s many blessings can’t cure all the symptoms of extreme old age. (→ end)
(#1) Mofat: I’m worried about those younger missionaries... They were attacked not long ago by another disciple for daring to doubt Elatt, and now they’re missing. (→ #2)
(#2) Mofat: Even though I’ve spoken to the older disciples about keeping their personal beliefs in check, I fear that someone may have gone after them again. (→ #3)
(#3) Mofat: I don’t understand them. Elatt does not want dogmatic believers, he wants results! He does not measure worth by one’s beliefs, but rather by one’s actions. (→ end)
(#4) Mofat: Ach, the old ache in my neck is acting up again. I suppose even Elatt’s many blessings can’t cure all the symptoms of extreme old age. (→ #5)
(#5) Multiple-choice:
- 0: You’ve been around since before the Scourge, right? Do you still know how to read the Old Language? Oliele and I found this ancient tablet we need translated. (→ #6)
(#6) Mofat: I'm a little rusty, but I can probably help with... Elatt's breath... Are you sure you want to know what this thing says? It's... terrible. (→ #7)
(#7) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Oliele and I need to know. (→ #8)
(#8) Mofat: Alright. I trust that you wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important. Give me a minute. (→ #9)
(#9) Mofat: There. Done. I suggest you and Oliele sit down when you read this and brace yourselves for some ugly ancient history. (→ end)
(#10) Mofat: I don't know if I'm comfortable sharing this knowledge with someone I barely know. I'm sorry, you'll have to find someone else to do it for you. (→ end)
(#11) Mofat: Ach, the old ache in my neck is acting up again. I suppose even Elatt’s many blessings can’t cure all the symptoms of extreme old age. (→ end)
Purifier
(#0) Mofat: I am trying to gather more information on these attackers, but there is only so much I can do in my old age. 143 years, even with Elatt’s blessing, eventually takes its toll on you. (→ #1)
(#1) Mofat: The occasional scrap against a Tuanosaur as I gather alchemy ingredients, that’s one thing. Combing the marsh for people waiting in ambush is quite another. I hate having to rely on anyone else for this task, but that’s the way it has to be. (→ end)
(#2) Mofat: You've been out into the swamp recently, haven't you? I've been waiting on a friend of mine to come from a trip to Harmattan, and he is overdue by several days. Have you seen him along the way? (→ #3)
(#3) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I found a dead Missionary carrying a letter signed by you. (→ #4)
- 1: I found a dead Missionary along the road, but I couldn’t identify them. (→ #11)
- 2: I don’t think so, what does he look like? (→ end)
(#4) Mofat: Show me the letter... I was afraid of that. Yes, that was him. (→ #5)
(#5) Mofat: Is there anything else you can tell me about the scene of the attack? (→ #6)
(#6) Multiple-choice:
- 0: It was beside a campsite, with three bedrolls (→ #7)
(#7) Mofat: So, he must have come with two others. I can only hope that at least one of them made it to Monsoon safely. My guess is that his companions were Amalie and Alemmon, both were supposed to come home sometime this month. (→ #8)
(#8) Mofat: Amalie usually comes to talk to me when she returns from a trip abroad... I suspect the only survivor would be Alemmon. He usually holds open magic lessons over in the training district. If he survived, he might be able to tell us what happened. (→ #9)
(#9) Mofat: This is the third time in two months that some of our people have gone missing like this... I begin to worry if there's a conspiracy against the Holy Mission. Bandit attacks are frequent enough, but they usually demand ransom within a few days. This feels far more sinister. (→ #10)
(#10) Mofat: Thank you for bringing me news of my friend. I was going to give this to him as a gift for his return. It’s yours, now. (→ end)
(#11) Mofat: Then I can only assume the worst. (→ #5)
(#12) Mofat: Any luck finding my missing friend? (→ #3)
(#13) Mofat: You've been out into the swamp recently, haven't you? I've been waiting on a friend of mine to come from a trip to Harmattan, and he is overdue by several days. Have you seen him along the way? (→ #14)
(#14) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I don’t think so, what does he look like? (→ #15)
(#15) Mofat: He’s a plain looking missionary, and often wears a hood. I wish I could give you more to go on, but he’s your typical, quiet, unassuming type of person. (→ #16)
(#16) Mofat: He would have come via the Chersonese, so if he’s out in the swamp, he should be taking the Pilgrim Road, and following the glowing sigils. If you find him, please let me know, eh? (→ end)
(#17) Mofat: Any luck finding my missing friend? (→ #18)
(#18) Multiple-choice:
- 0: No, nothing yet, sorry. (→ #19)
(#19) Mofat: He would have come via the Chersonese, so if he’s out in the swamp, he should be taking the Pilgrim Road, and following the glowing sigils. If you find him, please let me know, eh? (→ end)
