Tukohama tasked his tribe— {my} tribe—with keeping that Deceiver in his prison. Our sacred duty kept us in this region, even though we longed for the sea… but it is good that we stayed.
Ranger
It was foolish to not have further protections.
Huntress
I feel guilty for my trespass and for doing what I did. But I didn’t know.
Monk
Ah, so it was your job to keep him there.
Witch
Chieftain I must say… it seemed a little too easy to set him free…
Sorceress
Such a powerful being, left out in the open? I cannot comprehend how this has happened.
Warrior
Why was he not guarded further?
Mercenary
I’ve seen better security in a Korathin pleasure den.
Druid
I’ve long known of the Raven Trickster’s deceit. I was a damn fool to free him.
Tavakai
Best you mind your mouth.
Tavakai
That is no excuse.
Tavakai
Yes. It is what has kept our people here for so many generations.
Tavakai
All thanks to you and these damn Kalguurans…
Tavakai
Capturing him was a miracle in itself… it was then impossible to move him.
Tavakai
That binding… had stood the test of time.
Tavakai
I don’t want to know what that means…
Tavakai
Yes. You were.
Tavakai
We tried posting warriors to keep watch over the prison. He’d drive them mad. They’d throw themselves into the sea. Instead, we allowed his fog to wreak its havoc and in turn… keep him hidden. Besides… I had no idea Kalguuran runes could undo our ancestral binding. Yet another reason for us to not get along.
Ranger
As I’ve said… what’s done is done.
Huntress
It’s remarkable you kept him there this whole time.
Monk
In time, he will not be of any concern.
Witch
Well, can’t do much about it now, can we?
Sorceress
Please forgive me. It is a regrettable situation. I did not mean harm.
Warrior
It was an unfortunate series of mistakes.
Mercenary
Well, least you lot are free of worrying if he’s still there, I guess.
Druid
Mistake’s been made. Naught we can do now but move forward.
Tavakai
For untold generations, he slept soundly in that prison. But the Deceiver woke from his slumber twenty years ago, and has been causing more and more problems ever since. The fog… crashing ships… foul dreams… cursed voices… Even one of our Elders fell for his lies, and went missing. But it will be much worse now that the Deceiver is free, thanks to you.

The fog… crashing ships… foul dreams… cursed voices… Even Matiki, the Elder you found, was deceived and led astray by Tekaru’s lies. It will be much worse now that the Deceiver is free, thanks to you.
