Dialogue
The Golden Hand
???: It appears we've made it alive, Ostromir.
Vseslava: I am called Vseslava.
Vseslava: We are Division Osiem of the Golden Hand. We have been sent by the Magesterium of the Shapeless Empire...
Vseslava: ...by decree of the Shapeless, and at great cost and personal risk, to negotiate and assist in this unfortunate incident.
Vseslava: Oh, the meddler. Most convenient. We are to negotiate with you as well.
Vseslava: Regarding the matter of your King, that was an unfortunate accident.
Vseslava: You have our sincerest apologies, extended to you by The Shapeless.
Vseslava: However, the most recent "assault", as you put it, was not our doing.
Vseslava: The Shapeless only willed that we open one or two of these rifts at a time.
Vseslava: However, the opened rifts are now no longer under Magesterium control.
Vseslava: So we've come—
Vseslava: —to offer our assistance in controlling the rifts.
Vseslava: No. That requires the combined might of the Magesterium, and it also requires the rifts being back under our control.
Vseslava: We expect you to trust us because if you don't, then you will not find another way to close the rifts...
Vseslava: ...and their influence will only keep spreading until it covers all of Lore.
Vseslava: Oh! The Hero! <Character>, yes? Of course you'd be here too.
Vseslava: What a shame. Unfortunately for you, we know the magic of the rifts, and we know that they are not closed so easily.
Vseslava: That was an accident. We sincerely apologize—
Vseslava: Our information regarding the hierarchy of the Kingdom was misinformed.
Vseslava: The Magesterium was under the impression that the King was subservient to The Rose.
Vseslava: Reparations?
Vseslava: We require free passage across Greenguard, as well as some protection when we near the rifts.
Vseslava: We will bring the rifts back under Magesterium control, and manually adjust their size as to no longer be a threat.
Vseslava: Teleportation is a tricky magick, and our adjustments take time.
Vseslava: If she stops her snooping around in Magesterium territory, then the rifts will stay closed.
Vseslava: Then we cannot either.
Vseslava: The Fissure is a place of extreme magical energy.
Vseslava: To send forces to do combat there would be unfeasible in the long term, for both the Magesterium and the Rose.
Vseslava: Attempting to create a rift there could have... unpredictable results.
Vseslava: But we now understand the Rose answers to Swordhaven.
Vseslava: I'm afraid we cannot divulge that information.
Vseslava: Good for you.
Vseslava: Any more questions? Or can we get to work?
Vseslava: It would only be fair if we were to go back on our word.
Vseslava: Of course.
The Greenguard Alliance - Choose a Faction
Vseslava: At the base of the rift, there is a trio of foci that can be used to adjust the rift's potency.
Vseslava: However, our own magical abilities are limited without ignominious present.
Vseslava: Leaves us time to perhaps get to know each other better.
Vseslava: Give it some thought, yes?
The Greenguard Alliance - Golden Hand Faction
Vseslava: Ready to head out, <Character>? Watch your step, and follow closely.
Swordhaven Camp
Vseslava: Don't worry, <Character>, we know all about your secret identity!
Vseslava: Did you get the pierogi discount?
Vseslava: We're glad you decided to join us, <Character>. It's good to have an, albeit tenuous, connection to home in these foreign lands.
Vseslava: Ah. We are technically magesters.
Vseslava: Oh yes. We were there. Well, I was. I believe Ostromir was out on a mission.
Vseslava: Anyway, while we are technically Magesters, we are deployed by the Shapeless when there are... unpredictable matters to attend to.
Vseslava: As such, among the Magesterium, we are equals, but not equals.
Vseslava: It balances out.
Vseslava: Faith in the Shapeless and obedience in its decree make it quite simple, really.
Vseslava: Anyway, I believe we have a job to do?
Vseslava: These 'Knights' seem capable enough, but with our limited access to magic, it's good that you're here as well.
Daybreak (Golden Hand)
Vseslava: That wasn't us.
Vseslava: Look. You've all just encountered a... what's the word?
Vseslava: Help me out here, Ostromir.
Vseslava: Correct, a Tytan. They are rare, obviously massive, monstrosities that preside over the... locations on the other side of the rifts.
Vseslava: These creatures change the world around them.
Vseslava: That's our current theory at least. It's also possible that they are a product of their locations.
Vseslava: Unfortunately, it seems we were too late to bring it under control.
Vseslava: Now, does that answer all your questions? Can we please get back to work?
Vseslava: Unfortunately, no.
Vseslava: Blah, blah. Don't take too long, <Character>, these fools are already impatient.
Vseslava: Take care, <Character>. We'll set up camp here and continue working. And I'll make sure Ostromir doesn't explode.
Into the Light
Vseslava: Unfortunately so.
Vseslava: Whoever did this had... intimate knowledge of the anchors.
Vseslava: This is much more than a simple disruption.
Vseslava: Encrypted?
Vseslava: We are making steady progress, but a more serious issue has come up.
Vseslava: Because we are so close to the rift, since the emergence of the Tytan—
Vseslava: For Ostromir and myself, this is not an issue, as we have our containment units.
Vseslava: But our escort is not faring so well.
Vseslava: You must find a way to remove or otherwise disable this Tytan, this... source of elemental power.
Vseslava: We're allowing the knights to take shifts in our quarters to help them to recover from the heat.
Vseslava: But if we cannot find a way to stop this, then we may not have long left, rift closed or not.
The Spells We Weave
Vseslava: We don't know much about Tytans, but the conclusions, drawn by the Vind, make sense to us.
Vseslava: Ostromir has almost finished wresting back control.
Vseslava: There was a minor... distraction... from back home, but nothing to worry about.
Sunfall: Part 1
Vseslava: Ostromir has managed to wrest some control of the Proclamation.
Vseslava: Our position grows more tenuous, however. The knights won't be able to hold out for too much longer.
?se?l??a: *bzzt* –not fa- -noug– *crackle*
Sunfall: Part 2
Vseslava: That's a Hero for you!
Vseslava: We've brought the rift back under Magesterium control. Nothing else should be coming out from it.
Vseslava: What do they mean, resources are pre-emptively occupied?
Vseslava: Of all the- oh, apologies, we didn't see you there, <Character>.
Vseslava: The Shapeless wills it so.
Vseslava: Those, <Character>, are the Ignominious. For many Magesters, they are required to perform acts of magic. But we are the Golden Hand.
Vseslava: One of the privileges afforded to us by the Shapeless is that we have some capacity for magic on our own.
Vseslava: A gift.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Vseslava: Hmph.
Vseslava: Ostromir.
Vseslava: Apologies, <Character>, but the secrets of the Shapeless are not yours to bear.
Vseslava: Besides, we have a mission to attend to, do we not?
Vseslava: Perhaps...
Vseslava: Ah, apologies for our rudeness. When this business is all over, maybe you could return with us to Nieboheim.
Vseslava: If approved by the Magesterium and the Shapeless, you may have your answers then.
After completing A Shocking Discovery:
About Humans
Vseslava: Curious. Something to note, Ostromir. Prince Eulin, have you heard of humans dressed as we do, perhaps?
Your World
Vseslava: Prince Eulin, you are not to...
Vseslava: Very well. I... apologize, Prince Eulin. I meant no offense.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
A Storm in the Night
Vseslava: As do I, but an analytical exploration will have to wait until after our duty is done.
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Vseslava: Perhaps we can sample some of the local delicacies along the way? After a proper decontamination, of course.
Vseslava: A shame. Perhaps when this is all over, then.
Vseslava: This place is full of magicks. The Vind scouts must be talented indeed to sniff out a focus among this... mess.
A Shocking Discovery
Vseslava: The Manufactory, hm? No, I don't think I've ever heard of such a place.
Vseslava: However, I could see a benefit to having the Prince around, should we run into other Lagohmorphs.
Vseslava: They're likely to be hostile to us and him anyway, but it's still an advantage.
Ambition's Crossroads
Vseslava: ...
Vseslava: Ostromir is missing as well.
Vseslava: I will retreat to my shelter and order the knights to help with the search.
Vseslava: Fine. And I... I don't need your sympathy, if that is what you're offering.
Vseslava: Let the underlings search. We still have our mission to complete.
Vseslava: I am a Magester of the Shapeless Empire, <Character>. Whatever my personal feelings, my job just became much, much harder.
Vseslava: So yes. While I am worried, and I am sorry your friends are missing, I must be focused on my duty here now more than ever.
Vseslava: Something... serious is happening back home in the Empire. And here I am, a world away. And now I am alone. This job is all I can focus on.
Vseslava: It's...
Vseslava: It's... a much needed distraction.
Vseslava: Then go. Get out there.
Vseslava: And... thank you.
Grinding Gears
Vseslava: We are. This atmosphere...
Vseslava: Hladach? However did you manage to get on Ostromir's good side, Raven?
Vseslava: Hey, <Character>.
Vseslava: Having both of us here is more efficient.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Vseslava: I... suppose it will be okay. That Raven girl and the dragon went through as well, so it will be shared regardless.
Vseslava: *cough*
Vseslava: We should get back to our preparations. Another time, <Character>.
Direct Current
Vseslava: On it.
Vseslava: With this scale of power... Hansa, you said it was... blurry? So there must be movement...
Vseslava: It's an ambush. Stay calm. Defensive positions, please.
Vseslava: Here... it... comes...
Vseslava: Yes. For now. We should keep moving.
Broken Circuit (Part 1)
Vseslava: Ostromir, stop your whining. We have worked under more stressful conditions before!
Vseslava: Ostromir, we need to retreat!
Vseslava: Ostromir. We are retreating. Now.
Vseslava: Make it quick. Ostromir is getting impatient.
Vseslava: Ow! My head...
Vseslava: I am going... to vomit...
Vseslava: I think I am still going to be sick.
Vseslava: Nausea. Head and chest pain. Numbness in extremities. Still functional.
Vseslava: Ostromir?!
Vseslava: Ostromir, speak to me!
Vseslava: Ostro–
Vseslava: Os... Oh... Shapeless take me.
Broken Circuit (Part 2)
Vseslava: This... This is not happening.
Vseslava: No. There must be some mistake.
Vseslava: There has been a... some sort of... incident in Nieboheim.
Vseslava: No, Magus Hansa is correct.
Vseslava: Forgive me, but I must assess the situation to approach the correct conclusion.
Vseslava: Something has happened in the Capitol. There was a blast of some sort...
Vseslava: Our... magical presence?
Vseslava: This... this is unprecedented. There is no protocol for such an occurrence...
Vseslava: I do not know what could have...
Vseslava: Back in Nieboheim, we have a certain treasure. The Shapeless' gift.
Vseslava: You could consider it the source of our power.
Vseslava: I can only assume that a terrible catastrophe has occurred to it, which led to... this.
Vseslava: As members of the Golden Hand, Ostromir and I have had less exposure to it. We are not entirely... dependant on it.
Vseslava: I suspect that is the only reason we are still alive.
Vseslava: Ostromir, you are still alive, are you not?
Vseslava: He has spent more time in the Capitol than I. It is likely that due to his greater exposure to The Shapeless' gift, he will need more time.
Vseslava: They are likely dead. Or dying. It is hard to say.
Vseslava: This is not exactly something that has happened before.
Vseslava: It is certainly a mess, is it not?
Vseslava: There are other Golden Hand divisions out in the world. There are Magesterium outposts where there are likely survivors as well.
Vseslava: I can try to get in contact with them.
Vseslava: That is putting it lightly.
Vseslava: Even if by some miracle, the Magesterium survived, without The Shapeless' gift, we would not be able to close the rifts.
Vseslava: If Ostromir would wake his lazy head, we could still bring it under control. Shrink it to a manageable size.
Vseslava: Functionally closed, and under our control.
Vseslava: We each have our specialties. I could try, but it would be inefficient and dangerous.
Vseslava: Of course not. If anything happened to us, then another Golden Hand division would be assigned.
Vseslava: That most of the Magesterium are likely deceased is a significant flaw in that plan of action.
Vseslava: I do not wish to leave Ostromir.
Vseslava: Thank you. You truly are a Hero.
Vseslava: Raven... Ostromir told me about–
Vseslava: Thank you. And... I am sorry.
Of Duty and Dragons
Vseslava: You can help Ostromir?
Vseslava: It... it should be fine to turn it off while you work.
Vseslava: Ostromir! Thank the Shapeless!
Vseslava: I can only assume the worst. I have not yet been able to get in contact with the other divisions, nor any outposts.
Vseslava: As far as I can tell, all lost.
Vseslava: I am sorry, Ostromir. I know as much as you do.
Vseslava: Ostromir... If–
Vseslava: Thank you, Magus Neron. Thank you.
Vseslava: Ostromir...
Vseslava: Thank you, Magus Neron.
Vseslava: The Shapeless Empire is most likely in total disarray as we speak.
Vseslava: It puts us in a difficult position.
Vseslava: While we would want nothing more than to return home to take care of our nation, our people, our families...
Vseslava: So we will stay. And finish our job.
Vseslava: And then we will return to what is left of our home.
Vseslava: Thank you.
Vseslava: By the Shapeless, Ostromir, try to contain your excitement.
The Awakened Depths - Golden Hand Faction
Vseslava: Due to... current circumstances, we now know that we have limited reserves of mana.
Vseslava: We cannot afford to expend it on frivolous comforts, however much Ostromir may protest.
Vseslava: He will survive.
Vseslava: Oh, no, we are still entirely at a loss and worried and confused, and filtering all sorts of emotions.
Vseslava: This is more painful for Ostromir than I. He had- has family and friends back in the Empire.
Vseslava: But let us turn to more interesting topics.
Vseslava: Really, Ostromir.
Vseslava: Fine.
Vseslava: Ostromir has spent some time there himself in his capacity as Golden Hand.
Vseslava: Ostromir is very proud of his research.
Vseslava: Ostromir! I gave you permission to provide our hero with some information, not the deepest secrets of Magesterium research!
Vseslava: That would be for the best. Thank you for paying us a visit, <Character>.
Speaker and Slayer
Vseslava: You have already met <Dragon>, Ostromir.
Vseslava: One too many old Empire stories. Ostromir is deathly afraid of dragons.
Vseslava: But he will manage. Is that not correct, Ostromir?
The Descent
Vseslava: That does not look inviting.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Vseslava: I will pass, thank you for the offer.
The Great One
Vseslava: As long as the mana core slumbers...
Vseslava: ...Never you mind, dragon.
Reasons to Fight
If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Vseslava: I do not think it is relevant, Ostromir.
Vseslava: Fine. That... Great One. That dragon. They spoke to us in our heads while you were traversing the Gauntlet.
Vseslava: Ostromir...
Vseslava: ...
Vseslava: The Magesterium conducted experiments in the Wastes.
Vseslava: Of these... were many that those of morals would not consider palatable.
Vseslava: ...We were all complicit.
Vseslava: It was not. But...
Vseslava: Ostromir regrets his past actions.
Vseslava: He sees this... saving Lore business as a form of redemption.
Vseslava: I...
Vseslava: You don't know that, Ostromir.
Vseslava: I hope despite everything... well, your company has been welcome in these distant lands.
Vseslava: ...Come, the others of the Alliance must surely be wondering why we are late.
Into the Unknown
Vseslava: Are you disappointed you do not get to fly on the back of another dragon, Ostromir?
In Search of Slayers
Vseslava: We thought to bring it up with the DragonLord captain, but he appears to be... resistant to suggestions.
Vseslava: I think they get the point, Ostromir.
Vseslava: We have completed the protective gear for everyone else, as well.
Vseslava: While we have managed so far thanks to Kara's magic, if we are to enter more spore dense areas...
Vseslava: Well, better to be safe, if you ask me.
Roots of Change
Vseslava: What are those strange growths? It seems almost like...
Vseslava: It seems to me that we must travel under the city. Is there any way below?
The Way Forward
Vseslava: This Odgne is your dragon, Mritha?
Vseslava: I am curious why the only small dragon we have seen contributing to the fight is <Dragon>.
Vseslava: Are other dragons of that age not fit for combat?
Vseslava: Thank you for the explanation, Mritha.
Vseslava: Despite the Magesterium's knowledge in combating dragons, we know surprisingly little about their growth.
Vseslava: Ah, you must have been on a mission when the news came, Ostomir.
Vseslava: Apparently the convoy was ambushed, and the egg went missing.
Vseslava: I... I think so. As far as I can tell. But it quickly falls off into darkness.
Through the Tangle
Vseslava: Do not strain yourself, Grand Magus. We will need your abilities below, I am sure.
Vseslava: I think it would be accurate to say that this fungus is the product, no, body of, some sort of Tytan from the Wastes.
The Deep Dark
Vseslava: Everyone! Hansa has made a discovery!
Vseslava: I suggest bracing and finding something to hold on to!
Into the Abyss
Vseslava: ...Ostromir...
Vseslava: Hansa, how are you feeling? Can you see anything else now that the Tytan has awoken?
Fate's Flow (Part 1)
If you joined the Golden Hand faction:
Vseslava: What is it, Ostromir?
Vseslava: Shh!
Vseslava: Okay. Done.
Vseslava: Still no word from them. This was from Outpost Yeden.
Vseslava: They are. While their message was urgent, our current task still takes priority.
Vseslava: Indeed.
Fate's Flow (Part 2)
Vseslava: Our reserves of mana are running low. We... we can not keep up this pace.
Vseslava: That message from Outpost Yeden has you fired up, has it?
Vseslava: Given the thickness of the Tytan's dermis, it may take us a considerable amount of time with our current resources...
Vseslava: I did. I... very much did.
Twin Tides
Vseslava: We expended much more mana than we intended in our fungal adventure.
Vseslava: I am sorry.
Vseslava: We expected the delivery of additional resources some time ago, but with the Magesterium scattered, that has not been possible.
Vseslava: Excuse me?
Vseslava: ...As Ostromir so elegantly put it, that would be indecent. And unsanitary.
Vseslava: Not like we could do anything to help in our current state.
Awakened Depths: Epilogue (All Versions) If you joined the Golden Hand Faction:
Vseslava: Of course not! We would have to deactivate our containment fields in order to imbibe.
Vseslava: It would be quite unhygienic.
Vseslava: Do not "Hmm" like you are tempted, Ostromir!
Vseslava: Ingesting foreign delicacies is highly irregular.
Vseslava: I told you. Unhygienic.
Vseslava: Not worth it?
Vseslava: And if you fall ill, who will take care of you?
Vseslava: You are forgetting we still have a job to do. Celebrate if you must, but I will not until that final Rift is under control.
Vseslava: Outpost Yeden. It is far, far to the south, but the Magesters there should have spare Ignominious.
Vseslava: How we bring them north however... I am not certain. But it is our only choice.
Vseslava: It is beyond the Whispering Steppes, and even Kaer Sierra. Closer to the fissure. For... observational purposes.
Vseslava: Indeed it— Ostromir!
Vseslava: Did you not say it was too sweet? Vseslava: Ostromir!
Fallen Facade
Vseslava: Just about done. Need to attune to the right frequency... and...
Vseslava: Golden Hand Division Osiem reporting. This is Vseslava of Golden Hand Division Osiem. Can you hear me, Outpost Yeden?
Vseslava: And you as well, Outpost Yeden. Has there been an update on our request for Ignominious?
Vseslava: I see. And as for our mission? What does the Shapeless will?
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Chasing Answers
Vseslava: Ostromir, I do not know if—
Vseslava: I have. But... Think of the repercussions! It is not our place to disclose such information to foreign entities!
Vseslava: ...Very well, Ostromir.
Vseslava: ...Many of the subjects did not survive. Those that did were mercifully disposed of.
Vseslava: Except for one. The Magesterium's greatest success, and greatest failure.
Vseslava: ...Unviability.
Vseslava: His demeanor in the trial gave us no suspicion to suspect that he would threaten the Magesterium.
Vseslava: Rather low priority research, as I recall.
Vseslava: It is located far south of Kaer Sierra, to the west of the Fissure.
Vseslava: The broken one will be fine, I think, as will the former king.
Vseslava: <Dragon> and the extremely powerful mage, however...
Vseslava: A stable pocket?
Vseslava: But surely the amount of mana expended to maintain such a large and secure tunnel is beyond that of a... normal... person.
Vseslava: You. Mage. Are you...?
Vseslava: This looks to be close by.
Outpost Outskirts
Vseslava: Then we should proceed with caution. We know nothing of the current situation.
Vseslava: Thank the Shapeless! I am Vseslava, and this is Ostromir. We are both of Golden Hand Div—
Vseslava: If I may, I do not believe we have gotten your name, Magester?
Vseslava: They may not have been approved...
Vseslava: ...but as natives of Greenguard, we believe they will be instrumental resources in the conflict against The Rose.
Vseslava: Watch your steps, and watch your words.
Outpost Yeden
Talk
Vseslava: I have never seen him smile so often.
Vseslava: There is still much work to be done. But this familiarity is comforting.
Project Casca
Vseslava: You will learn soon enough, I am sure.
Vseslava: Let him have this, <Character>. He has had little cause to celebrate in recent times.
Magesterium
Vseslava: They have been sporadic. And not all good news.
Vseslava: Many perished after the Seym fell, Magesters and citizens.
Vseslava: We cannot disclose more than that at this time. But with Project Casca, we will reclaim our lands once more.
Vseslava: I am sure you will learn more when the time comes.
Project Casca
Vseslava: I will admit, I am relieved you decided to accept our offer.
Vseslava: The exact details... are unknown, even to us.
Vseslava: What we do know is that all at once, across Lore, all current Magesters were disconnected from the shard.
Vseslava: I will answer this, Ostromir.
Vseslava: It is... the physical manifestation of The Shapeless itself. I believe you had a brief encounter with it during your stay in Nieboheim, <Character>?
Vseslava: ...The physical manifestation of The Shapeless was controlled by the will of The Shapeless, through the Magesterium.
Vseslava: However, The Shapeless does not act without direction. Someone must have given it orders...
Vseslava: Even with malicious commands, it should not have been an issue for the Magesterium to subdue The Shapeless.
Vseslava: But combined with the loss of the shard, The Shapeless has wrought havoc and destruction, not only in Nieboheim, but across all of Azaveyr.
Vseslava: There are reports that it has changed. The physical form has... been twisted beyond the will of The Shapeless. It will not be so easily contained.
Vseslava: ...I... I want to apologize.
Vseslava: This burden of hope.
Vseslava: You have seen how Ostromir has changed. The hope, the faith... It is infectious.
Vseslava: And now, it weighs upon your shoulders. The hero, and the outsiders, bearing the dreams of a people on the brink of elimination.
Vseslava: I...
Vseslava: We do not deserve your honor.
Vseslava: Thank you. Truly.
Hawk in the Sky
Vseslava: I will stay in contact with Eirn, and convey the status of the airship to the other Magesters.
Vseslava: Focus, Ostromir!
Crash and Burn
Vseslava: What we face is far more insidious still.
Vseslava: Understood.
Vseslava: We received a communication from our drones before they were abruptly cut off.
Vseslava: Akanthus and Jaania have survived, as we feared.
Vseslava: The Doom device is also missing. We can only assume it was taken with The Rose after the crash.
For the Fallen
Vseslava: It is always the wait that gets to me. The wait before a mission.
Vseslava: And you worry too little. Always so ready to jump into the unknown with no thought for yourself or others!
Vseslava: Listen to yourself! As though no one cares about you!
Vseslava: No, no, we intruded into your space; I apologize.
Vseslava: ...
Vseslava: Zvezdana, do not push yourself so hard. Surely there are others who can deliver simple orders.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Vseslava: Then I am coming too.
Vseslava: But—
Vseslava: Have you lost your mind, Ostromir?!
Vseslava: You cannot be entertaining the thought of facing this... mad golem mage on your own!
Vseslava: ...And where did you come across these?
Vseslava: Did you now? That cube in particular is quite rare. I have seen only two in my time, certainly not freely distributed "in case of emergency".
Vseslava: ...Very well.
Vseslava: ...
Vseslava: It wasn't him. I was the one who—
Vseslava: I suspected— You stole those?!
Vseslava: For... for what? To avenge a foreign, unofficial, Hladach?
Vseslava: Out of guilt?
Vseslava: ...How long have you planned this?
Vseslava: Those days are behind you, Ostromir. How could you be so foolish?
Vseslava: Ostromir... You do not need to prove yourself to anyone.
Vseslava: Not to yourself, to Raven, or the Magesterium, or even the Shapeless.
The Arrival
Vseslava: If you have any better ideas, please, enlighten us, former king.
Vseslava: Ostromir!
Vseslava: Yes. Preparations are complete. I suggest you take care of any... final business that may need addressing.
The Flame Within
Vseslava: Do not get ahead of yourself, Ostromir. There is still a long way to go.
The Final Steps
Vseslava: Ostromir is inspecting the cargo lift.
Vseslava: You're clearly terrified, Ostromir. We would be liabilities.
Vseslava: Your concern is appreciated.
The End of Magic (Part 2)
Vseslava: And you are unharmed, <Character>? Ostromir has been worrying most obnoxiously since your group descended.
Vseslava: Imagine our shock when the tremors began!
Vseslava: Ostromir and I, along with a small contingent of golems and citizens, will escort them north, to Swordhaven.
Vseslava: It will be a long and treacherous journey, but the encampment here was well supplied.
Vseslava: We will see them returned home. From there, it will be up to the people of Greenguard to deal with their own.
Vseslava: It is appreciated.
