GamblerCurrencyVeryLowMagicRarityEquipment
No risk, no reward.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowRareRarityEquipment
That might be useful?
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentOne
It’s not nothing, at least!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentTwo
That’s something!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentThree
That looks intriguing!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentFour
You believed, and your belief paid off!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowDivineUniqueCommentOne
Wow! I don’t know what to make of that at all! But at least you got it cheap!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowHeadhunter
Congratulations! You hit the jackpot! I always knew you’d get lucky!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialLow
Curious… at least you didn’t pay much for it.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialMid
A decent payoff, I’d say.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialHigh
Quite the interesting piece of equipment, that! And it came cheap!
GamblerCurrencyLowMagicRarityEquipment
You get what you pay for, I suppose!
GamblerCurrencyLowRareRarityEquipment
At least it’s pretty.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentFive
Hmm. Might be useful in certain situations.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentSix
A decent prize!
GamblerCurrencyLowDivineUniqueCommentTwo
Glad you’ve taken that off my hands. I don’t like it.
GamblerCurrencyLowHeadhunter
Amazing! I really should have charged more for that one!
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialLow
Low risk, strange equipment. Just another day of gambling.
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialMid
How intriguing! And it didn’t cost you much, either.
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialHigh
Now that’s a decent payoff!
GamblerCurrencyMediumMagicRarityEquipment
Better luck next time.
GamblerCurrencyMediumRareRarityEquipment
You never know with that kind of equipment. Maybe somebody will trade you for it.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentSeven
I’m not sensing excitement from you on this one.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentEight
That looks very nice.
GamblerCurrencyMediumDivineUniqueCommentThree
Artifacts related to these ‘gods’ of yours make me wary…
GamblerCurrencyMediumHeadhunter
Yes! You did it! Luck favours you this day!
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialLow
Wraeclast has such strange equipment…
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialMid
Looks like your belief in luck paid off.
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialHigh
You’re getting good at gambling!
GamblerCurrencyHighMagicRarityEquipment
Ouch.
GamblerCurrencyHighRareRarityEquipment
You really must believe harder.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentNine
…neat.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentTen
Hmm. Expensive risk you took, but this might be… something?
GamblerCurrencyHighDivineUniqueCommentFour
Are you sure this ‘divine’ gear is worth what you paid for it?
GamblerCurrencyHighHeadhunter
That seems rather useful, to put it mildly!
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialLow
Strange equipment at high prices. That’s the beauty of gambling.
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialMid
Not bad for the risk you took.
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialHigh
High risk, high reward!
GamblerCurrencyVeryHighHeadhunter
Did you just squeal with joy?
GamblerCurrencyVeryHighRareLeatherBeltWithLife
You didn’t believe hard enough. Better luck next time.
GwennenTutorialShout
You there! Local! Come here!
GwennenTutorialIntro
I bet a yokel like yourself would be eager to see some explosions. Nevermind why we’re blowing things up just yet. We’ll get to that. I’ve gone ahead and marked the locations of likely treasures and dangers. Consider me magnanimous. You can choose what we uncover, since I’m eager to see what kind of luck you possess. I’ll wait back here. As far back as possible. Lay out a chain of devices. We’ll make a mighty fine display.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesFirstExplosive
Try to go as far as you can with the detonation cord.
GwennenTutorialPlayerWalksTooFarAway
Not that far!
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesSecondExplosive
Further! Keep going. Away from me.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesThirdExplosive
All placed. Shall we light it up?
GwennenTutorialDetonating
I should also mention… this might unearth monsters!
GwennenTutorialMonstersAppearing
You can take ‘em!
GwennenTutorialMoreMonstersAppearing
Go get ‘em, local!
GwennenTutorialAllMonstersDead
You did it?… you did it! Most of the locals I grab for this job don’t last long.
GwennenTutorialTalkAfter
Hah, yes, I could have been more up front about the danger… but you see, people don’t take the job when I mention that the upturned ground is full of deadly creatures. It’s a mighty awful land you’ve got here, local. A wonder anyone survives at all. Though that does speak to why I’m here in the first place… but you’ll have to ask Dannig about that, if you find him. By the way, if you enjoy a bit of risk, I’ve got a few things I’ve unearthed that might be of interest to you…
GwennenTutorialPartingShoutForTutorialTwo
If you see Tujen, tell him I sent you!
GwennenTutorialPartingShout
I’ll finish up here. See you again soon!
GwennenTutorialTwoShout
Found something special for you here, local!
GwennenTutorialTwoIntro
Remnants of ancient civilisations abound on this continent. Apparently, some of the remnants still hold mysterious influences. It’s a bit of a risk to destroy one and release its energies, but the reward could be worth it. Everything unearthed after a remnant is destroyed comes up a little different. Why don’t you place an explosive device near that one over there? Let’s see what happens.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesExplosiveNotNearRemnant
Place an explosive near the remnant!
GwennenTutorialTwoFailure
This placement of explosives won’t scratch that remnant at all! Oh well, we’ll try again later.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesExplosiveNearRemnant
Good, that’ll do it.
GwennenTutorialEnragedMonstersAppearing
I should also mention… this might enrage the monsters!
GwennenTutorialTwoAllMonstersDead
There you go, exile! Destroying remnants is a risky endeavour but you can clearly handle it.
GwennenTutorialTwoTalkAfter
So it seems destroying ancient remnants alters everything we subsequently unearth, treasures and monsters both. It’s a gamble, and you know I’m always up for that. So long as you’re ready to handle the consequences… with violence.
GwennenIntroMarauder
Now that we’ve a chance to talk without explosives and monsters around us… I’m Gwennen. Luck is my game. But it’s no game. It’s deadly serious. You have to believe you’re going to win, or you won’t. That’s the nature of this life, understand? It is what you make of it. So when you gamble with me, know that it’s your fault if you lose. You just didn’t believe hard enough.
GwennenIntroRanger
You’re a woman of ironclad determination. I can tell. I’m Gwennen. I’ve got something I fervently believe in as well, but my religion is luck. I’ve run headlong into danger because it was what {I} wanted to do, any orders be damned, and I bet it’s the same for you. When your actions and beliefs align, you can do anything. Even win at gambling. Which I bet you’ll do. Care to try your luck?
GwennenIntroTemplar
I can recognise a man of faith on any continent. I’m Gwennen. I’m dedicated to a cause, like you, but my religion is luck. I’ve gotten through deadly situations I had no right surviving simply because I {knew} I would. I assume it’s the same for you and your prayers. This life is what we make of it. I bet I’m going to lose on our transactions, since you’re going to pray while you gamble. I don’t consider it cheating. I consider it admirable. We’ll get on just fine.
GwennenRerollInventoryRandom
I’ve got a few more.
GwennenRerollInventory4
Maybe I’ll just shuffle these around and tell you they’re different.
GwennenRerollInventory7
What else do I have? Hmm…
GwennenApproachShoutRandom
Hello again, local!
GwennenApproachShout4
It’s my lucky day!
GwennenApproachShout7
Finally! Come on!
GwennenDetonatingRandom
I’ve got this!
GwennenOrderHirelingDetonateRandom
Hit it!
GwennenBombPlacedGenericRandom
Lucky guess.
GwennenBombPlacedMonstersRandom
In for a fight, then.
GwennenBombPlacedMonsters4
Are you waking the dead on purpose?
GwennenBombPlacedMonsters7
Here we go…
GwennenBombPlacedRiskRandom
Yes! Add some spice!
GwennenBombPlacedRisk4
Gambling with our lives? Hahaha!
GwennenBombPlacedRisk5
Gambling with our lives? Haha!
GwennenBombPlacedRisk6
Gambling with our lives! Haha!
GwennenBombPlacedRisk7
I always love a good risk.
GwennenBombPlacedTreasureRandom
I’m never against treasure.
GwennenBombPlacedTreasure4
There could be anything in that treasure!
GwennenBombPlacedTreasure7
Jackpot!
GwennenAllBombsPlacedRandom
Ready!
GwennenAllBombsPlaced2
Ready.
GwennenAllBombsPlaced4
Give the order!
GwennenAllBombsPlaced7
Bracing!
GwennenCombatLineRandom
Luck aid me!
GwennenEncounterCompleteRandom
Ha!
GwennenEncounterComplete4
Not today!
GwennenEncounterComplete7
For the Kalguur!
GwennenEncounterComplete10
Not a chance!
GwennenGossipTujen
We’ve campaigned together for many years. It’s taken a great toll on him, but he soldiers on. I don’t know how he remains so cheery, honestly. If he loses another limb, he’ll be more metal than man…
GwennenGossipRog
He’s a sweetheart. Have you seen the figurines he carves? The four of us use them to play this delightfully strange game he came up with. I love it because there are so many dice rolls, and, well, you know me.
GwennenGossipDannig
Our intrepid leader believes in a world better than the one that truly is. He doesn’t see you and me, Exile. He sees heroes. He sees grandiose myths and world-changing bravery. Don’t dispel those notions. I want to live in the world he sees, even if I know it isn’t real.
GwennenGossipLuckOne
During the failed rebellion, I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn’t get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world.
GwennenGossipFailedRebellion
I didn’t say that. You must have misheard.
GwennenGossipLuckTwo
During… an unspecified war… I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn’t get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world.
GwennenGossipTheKing
You’re pushing your luck with questions like that, Exile. Don’t waste it. You’ll need every scrap of fortune you can get when the time comes.
GwennenGossipGods
Never heard of ‘gods,’ but I know I wouldn’t put my faith in them even if they came to my doorstep with an army. I’ve already solidified my beliefs where they belong.
GwennenGossipDruidsOfTheBrokenCircle
I am honour-bound to discover the fate of Medved and the Druids of the Broken Circle. They believed they could see into the future by peering into the past. Hypothetically, that’s a power I’d very much like to have, for reasons of chance and profit… but I’m not sure I want it to be true. If Medved and his nature-mystics were right and Time truly is a circle, aren’t we all doomed to repeat our lives over and over for eternity? If that is the truth, then there is no luck. No chance, no human will. All life is just a stageplay repeating over and over. I don’t think I like that notion.
GwennenGossipMedved
His final fate was unknown, but I do know he cast off his peaceful ways and trained with two powerful axes after he arrived here. We’re not fools. We see that the dead rise here on Wraeclast. If Medved is still out there, he’ll be extremely dangerous. Conserve your luck, and use it against him if you find him.
GwennenGossipMedvedStoryFound
So the Druids lost the ability to see into the past after Olroth began using Wraeclast’s forbidden gems… how strange… and Medved headed off into the dark of night to challenge the leader of the creatures to a one-on-one battle, no doubt. Honourable, but foolish. There’s more to this story, Exile. I hope you can find it.
GwennenGossipMedvedDefeatedStoryNotComplete
You have put Medved to rest after all this time. Thank you. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that he sent away before the end, so I could never leave here without ensuring my ancestor’s peace. That is one more step toward freedom.
GwennenGossipMedvedDefeatedStoryComplete
The tale is now complete. Medved was a noble and well-intentioned hero, but the darkness of Wraeclast corrupted him and turned him toward madness. Now that he has been put to rest, I am free. Once we find the Triskelion Flame, I can return home. I must thank you for this. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that Medved sent away before the end, so his actions mark the honour of my lineage. When we return home, I will end the tale at his journey into the night to challenge evil’s unseen leader. The Kalguur will know that he died in combat trying to save his people. The rest does not need to be told.
GwennenCraft_RerollPrefixMods_Random
I could reshape this with a little work.
GwennenCraft_RerollPrefixMods_4
Let’s try something different with the front end.
GwennenCraft_RerollPrefixMods_7
You’ve got it all wrong! Let me take a look.
GwennenCraft_RerollSuffixMods_Random
Pretty sure you’ve got it wrong. Want to know what I see?
GwennenCraft_RerollSuffixMods_4
The handle’s misaligned. I could fix that.
GwennenCraft_RerollSuffixMods_7
It’s got a rather unlucky flaw, but I can take care of that.
GwennenCraft_RerollValueSingleMod_Random
Let me take a shot at it with my enchanted die.
GwennenCraft_RerollValueSingleMod_4
We can disrupt this one a bit. Take a chance.
GwennenCraft_RerollValueSingleMod_7
I’ve got a different take on this one.
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesPrefix_Random
You’re not holding it right! Want me to show you?
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesPrefix_4
I think you’ve slightly misread the strength of this weapon.
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesPrefix_7
There’s always room for a gamble.
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesSuffix_Random
Care to take a risk? It could pay off.
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesSuffix_4
This one needs some more work.
GwennenCraft_RerollValuesSuffix_7
There’s room for improvement around… there, see?
GwennenCraft_AddPrefixMod_Random
What, you don’t see that? Here, I’ll get my lens, it’s easy to miss.
GwennenCraft_AddPrefixMod_4
I’m pretty sure you’ve miscounted this weapon’s aspects.
GwennenCraft_AddPrefixMod_7
Hmm, there might be one more aspect we could coax out of this.
GwennenCraft_AddSuffixMod_Random
Care to take a risk on a new aspect?
GwennenCraft_AddSuffixMod_4
We could add one more aspect to this.
GwennenCraft_AddSuffixMod_7
I think I see an aspect lurking inside, waiting to emerge…
GwennenCraft_RemoveModLowestTier_Random
A small rune of nullification would improve this.
GwennenCraft_RemoveModLowestTier_4
How about I grind this a bit more?
GwennenCraft_RemoveModLowestTier_7
There’s certainly room for improvement. That aspect in particular is rather weak.
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllPrefixes_Random
Let’s just snap this thing in half and start over.
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllPrefixes_4
We’ve mucked it up. What do you think?
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllPrefixes_6
Oh well. Start again, shall we?
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllSuffixes_Random
We should replace the handle entirely. Start fresh.
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllSuffixes_4
I think we can do better with some of these aspects.
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllSuffixes_7
Let’s clear out this bad luck.
GwennenCraft_RemoveAllSuffixes_10
You don’t mind if I switch this out for a fresh one, do you?
GwennenCraft_UpgradeRandomModOneTier_Random
It’s stronger than it looks. I’ll show you.
GwennenCraft_UpgradeRandomModOneTier_3
One of these aspects is hiding its true potential!
GwennenCraft_UpgradeRandomModOneTier_6
Let’s give this one a closer look.
GwennenCraft_FillAllEmptySlots_Random
Let’s go for broke.
GwennenCraft_FillAllEmptySlots_3
Shall we risk whatever’s left?
GwennenCraft_FillAllEmptySlots_6
There’s a big opportunity here.
GwennenCraft_FillAllEmptySlots_9
In a gambling mood?
GwennenCraft_AddModMakeRare_Random
This one has a hidden side. I could show you.
GwennenCraft_AddModMakeRare_4
A sliver of Verisium would do wonders for this…
GwennenCraft_AddModMakeRare_7
I believe this weapon can still be augmented.
GwennenCraft_Extras_Random
Care to try your luck?
GwennenCraft_Extras_4
I know what I’d do if I were you.
GwennenCraft_Extras_7
This is half art, half gambling.
GwennenCraft_Extras_10
Don’t play it safe. Go big or go home!
GwennenCraft_TakeSword_Random
That’s a lucky sword. I can tell.
GwennenCraft_TakeMace_Random
Good luck with that mace. It’s a fine weapon.
GwennenCraft_TakeAxe_Random
That axe will probably serve you well.
GwennenCraft_TakeWand_Random
Never much understood the appeal of wands, but to each their own.
GwennenCraft_TakeStaff_Random
Are you sure you don’t want something sharp? Okay then.
GwennenCraft_TakeBow_Random
May you land every shot.
GwennenCraft_TakeSceptre_Random
You look a bit regal holding that…
GwennenCraft_TakeDagger_Random
I do have longer blades, if you want. No? Good luck.
GwennenCraft_TakeQuarterstaff_Random
An interesting fighting style.
The Ziggurat
It’s eerie, being here before our ancestors even arrive. This Ziggurat… wait, how much am I allowed to say? I suppose I should keep that thought to myself.
This Era
We came back to this era hoping to meet our ancestral heroes in person, but instead, we found an even bigger mystery. We’re still digging up ancient remnants of our ancestors, but they won’t even arrive on Wraeclast for the better part of a year! I think that ‘Cataclysm’ may have scrambled more than just the terrain.
GwennenEndgameGreeting
Well well! You’re hardly a local {here,} now are you? Ha!… Wait, you don’t know me? Right, right, you did warn us about this. Or, you {will,} rather. Let’s… proceed as if we don’t know each other. I’m Gwennen.
