Kanu
So what is this… {thing…} you’ve found? Seems only fair to ask, since we’re doing all the hard work sailing you around.
Warrior
It is one piece of an ancient Weapon. It may allow us to slay the Beast and put an end to Corruption.
Witch
Don’t you worry your pretty little head about that.
Sorceress
They tell me it’s a piece of an ancient Weapon. But… we shall see.
Ranger
It’s a piece of an ancient weapon. But I’ll keep the rest to myself, thank you very much.
Huntress
It’s part of some Weapon, though I don’t see how it all works yet.
Monk
This is a piece of a Weapon. A grand creation of unknown power.
Mercenary
Just another ancient thing I had to ‘acquire.’ All I do these days, really.
Druid
A piece of a Weapon. Ancient. Dangerous.
Kanu
Slay the who and end what?
Kanu
She called me pretty! D’you guys hear that?
Kanu
Alright, alright! Each to their own!
Warrior
It could save the world.
Witch
{Not…} what I {meant!}
Kanu
Oh. How interesting… I guess. So we’re riskin’ our necks for some old collector’s item, eh?
Warrior
It’s more than that. It could be our only way to fight back.
Sorceress
It is more than just some collector’s item. It could be what helps us save the world.
Huntress
Oh no… It’s much more than that. Could be what helps us save the world.
Monk
We do as we must. It could be our salvation.
Mercenary
Pretty much. But… could be what helps us save the world. Or somethin’.
Druid
It’s {hope,} lad. And on Wraeclast, hope’s a rare thing.
Kanu
Phwoar. That’s deep! Glad I’m on your side.
Kanu
Could be? So… it’s uncertain? Ah well, either way, we’re doing our part. Let’s see what happens!
: So… found more of that fancy Weapon, eh? Can I see it?
Warrior
We cannot touch it. The Hooded One keeps the pieces safe.
Witch
No. You cannot.
Sorceress
The Hooded One has it concealed… I dare not ask where. It cannot be safely touched by mortal hands.
Ranger
I don’t think so.
Huntress
Would show ya if I could. But they’re full of {rathin}.
Monk
That would not be a good idea.
Mercenary
Yeah, why not? I’ll bring it around at some point. I just don’t have it on me.
Druid
Unless you want to lose yer mind to Corruption… it’s best you don’t.
Kanu
Oh… okay. Well, the more I hear, the more curious I get. Can’t really blame me, I’m a simple fella. Something like this… entire generations come and go without having eyes on a thing so significant!
Warrior
So {now} you take it seriously?
Witch
So now you are interested in its power. Curious.
Sorceress
It is something to be taken seriously. Whether it works, remains to be seen.
Ranger
Why take it so seriously all of a sudden?
Huntress
So… you’re taking note of it now. Fair enough.
Monk
I see that you take it more seriously now.
Mercenary
Oh look, someone’s taking it all a bit more serious!
Druid
It’s just as well they do. This Weapon is no mere trinket.
Kanu
No kidding.
Kanu
The crew talks. I listen. Some of them heard that Doryabi guy arguing with the spooky one in the cape. It did sound all very serious.
Warrior
That’d be Doryani and the Hooded One.
Witch
Doryani. And the Hooded One. Fool.
Sorceress
You mean Doryani and the Hooded One.
Ranger
I think you mean Doryani and the Hooded One.
Huntress
Oh, Doryani and… the Hooded One?
Monk
Their titles are Doryani and… the Hooded One.
Mercenary
You mean Doryani and… oh well, whatever. Close enough.
Druid
Doryani and the Hooded One. Names worth rememberin’, lad.
Kanu
Yeah. Those fellas. Ah well. Good luck findin’ the other piece. We got your back!
Kanu
You found all the pieces, then? So… what now? Do they just sort of… snap together?
Warrior
If only it were that simple…
Witch
Yes, the ancient Weapon spread in pieces across the sea for thousands of years just {snaps together.}
Sorceress
We’re not sure yet… the Hooded One and Doryani are deliberating. Or arguing. Depends on their mood, it seems.
Ranger
Somehow, I don’t think we’ll be that lucky.
Huntress
Got no idea. Your guess is as good as mine. But it probably won’t be {that} easy.
Monk
It’s just another step in the puzzle of history. But this… is no easy puzzle.
Mercenary
I’ll suggest they try that. Chances are it’s a bit more complicated. Always is.
Druid
I’ve no idea, lad. But somethin’ tells me it won’t be so simple.
Kanu
Sheesh! What’s your problem?
Witch
You ask too many questions.
Kanu
Hmm. Yeah, guess you’re right. Nothing’s that easy, is it? Let me ask around, eh? Maybe somebody’s heard a rumour, or a myth. You never know.
