Dialogue
(#0) Whispering Bones: We welcome you, [PlayerName]. Is there something we can do for you? (→ #1)
(#1) Multiple-choice:
- 0: You’re one with the ancestral memories, what can you teach me? (→ #2)
- 1: Farewell. (→ end)
(#2) Whispering Bones: Hmm... An exchange. Bring us Blue Sand, that we may extract memories from them and add them to our own, and we shall gift you with knowledge. (→ #3)
(#3) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Here’s some Blue Sand. What can you teach me? (→ #4)
- 1: No, thanks. (→ end)
(#4) Whispering Bones: You probably already know that you can use a Spark spell to ignite the air in a Sigil of Wind... but these new Levantin firearms... they are like a Spark as well... It may work just as well. There may be more ways to use Magic in this kind of manner. (→ end)
(#5) Whispering Bones: There is a spirit trapped in a grave in the valley beyond the Ghost Pass in the Chersonese. Give him what he needs to move on, and perhaps he will share his treasure with you. (→ end)
(#6) Whispering Bones: I see... Tsar Stones shining throughout Aurai. Their locations are hidden from my sight, but I can tell you this: There are not enough Tsar Stones in Aurai to forge a full set of armor within a single lifetime... (→ end)
(#7) Whispering Bones: I see... an interesting chest that the Scarlet Lady has hidden in Enmerkar, beneath the Vigil crystal. Ignore the wooden chest and seek the lever behind it, then seek a path forward. That chest you will find and the treasure within will surely stand the test of time. (→ end)
(#12) Whispering Bones: We have much to do, and think, and remember. Please, do not bother us at this moment, it is... difficult for us to get used to our new life. Perhaps another time we can help you. (→ end)
(#13) Roland Argenson: I... I... We... We are Whispering Bones. We thank you for saving us. (→ #14)
(#14) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Roland? Are... you still in there? (→ #15)
(#15) Whispering Bones: Fear not, [PlayerName]. Roland is with us. He has saved us, and now he is one of us. We can show you. (→ #16)
(#16) (A vision fills your sight. You see ghostly shapes swirling in a large, slow vortex. Roland is at the center, grinning. He seems satisfied.) (→ #17)
(#17) Whispering Bones: As you can see, your companion is part of us now. Together, we will safeguard the Memories. (→ #18)
(#18) Multiple-choice:
- 0: What are you? (→ #19)
- 1: And I’m supposed to trust that? You’re a freakish monster that just took over someone’s body! (→ #33)
(#19) Whispering Bones: We are a Lich. We are Whispering Bones. We are the guardian of the Ancestral Memories. We will gladly work for the good of the Collective. (→ #20)
(#20) Whispering Bones: We can grant you a boon. We have the knowledge of the most ancient of ancestors, we are the living history of the Collective. Please, tell us how we can help you. (→ #21)
(#21) Multiple-choice:
- 0: I want to expand my Mana. (→ #22)
- 1: I want to be better protected from harm. (→ #28)
(#22) Whispering Bones: Easily done. Close your eyes, and we shall share the memories of our greatest mage. He will show you how to tap into your hidden reservoirs of will. (→ #23)
(#23) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Yes, It’s acceptable. (→ #24)
- 1: No, I want something else. (→ #27)
(#24) Whispering Bones: Then so it shall be. (→ #25)
(#25) (Memories of a great mage flow into you. You gain intimate knowledge of the wells of power within you.) (→ #26)
(#26) Whispering Bones: We hope you are pleased by the boon we have granted. You and the Krypteia are always welcome to speak with me. (→ end)
(#27) Whispering Bones: Then choose, [PlayerName]. (→ #21)
(#28) Whispering Bones: We can grant this. We shall place a spirit within a lantern for you and fill it with the desire to protect you. So long as you hold it aloft, harm from magic or elements of all kinds will be reduced. Ghosts will find it especially hard to harm you. (→ #29)
(#29) Multiple-choice:
- 0: Yes, It’s acceptable. (→ #30)
- 1: No, I want something else. (→ #32)
(#30) Whispering Bones: Then so it shall be. (→ #31)
(#31) (The Lich conjures a brilliant flame and gently places it into a Lantern. The spirit within will ward magical and ghostly harm away from you.) (→ #26)
(#32) Whispering Bones: Then choose, [PlayerName]. (→ #21)
(#33) Whispering Bones: Roland offered his body freely to us. We just wish to continue serving the Collective, even if our appearance upsets you. (→ #20)
