 Dialogue
 Miss Fixit's Letter
 
 <Character>: *Reads* "Dear <Character>..."
 <Character>: *Reads* "Please meet me out..."
 <Character>: It's weird, I've never thought about how much trouble random letters left with Ash tend to get me into.
 <Character>: ...
 <Character>: Maybe I shouldn't be so quick to run into the woods at the request of strangers. Nah, what's the wo--
 
 *Rumble*
 *Rumble*
 *Rumble*
 
 <Character>: *sigh* ...worst that could happen?
 
 *THUNK*
 
 <Character>: Thunk?! Thunk's NEVER a good noise.
 
 *You are hovering over a pit.*
 
 <Character>: I'm standing over a pit arn't I?
 <Character>: Yup.
 
 *You fall into the pit.*
 
 <Character>: Yipe!
 
 Some Time Later
 
 <Character>: I should have realized that was a bad idea. What's the worst that could happen? Seriously?
 <Character>: That's like saying "What Dragon?" ASKING for trouble.
 Aelthai: Oh! A Victim!
 Aelthai: Sorry, I meant specimen. You aren't hurt are you? Thank you for volenteering for the experiment!
 <Character>: Experiment? What experiment? Who are you? What's going on?
 Aelthai: I'm Aelthai, or Miss Fixit if you like, and I'm sorta responsible for making things fun. It's hard to explain. Better if you don't think about it too much.
 <Character>: Sorry, I just happened to fall IN A HOLE!
 <Character>: That I don't see any way OUT OF.
 <Character>: And it seems you're the one keeping me PRISONER!
 Aelthai: Not a prisoner...just running a bit of an experiment. Thanks again for your help, are you ready to begin?
 <Character>: Don't suppose I have much of a choice, huh?

 Aelthai: We're going to put you against some newly...er... trained? monsters and see how you do.
 Aelthai (to self): Yes, trained will raise less questions then coded. Right choice.
 Aelthai: All of these guys have key to the next room. All you have to do is defeat one of them. Good luck!
 
 *Battle specially coded  Sandstones that can run away.*
 
 If a Sandstone runs away:
 Aelthai: Didn't see that coming, did you?!
 Aelthai: These beasts start trying to run when they're hurt. What can we do to fix that? Try again!
 
 Once you defeat a Sandstone:
 Aelthai: Alright! Good job. Lets see how you deal with the next challenge!
 
 Aelthai: Oh! This one's fun. If you kill him too fast, he'll fully recover his health. Wear him out for 10 rounds or you'll lose the fight in the end!
 Aelthai: If you want some advice, I'd wait until I was in the clear before I started to unload damage on him.
 Aelthai: Good Luck!
 
 *Battle a specially coded  Boulder Elemental that won't die unless you wait ten rounds.*
 
 If you kill the Boulder Elemental too quickly, this message appears:
 "The monster recovers and becomes enraged!"
 
 Aelthai: I have a feeling that you mages won't like this guy.
 Aelthai: Don't suppose the Warriors or Rogues will either to be fair. If I were you? I'd not use any mana.
 Aelthai: Best to slug it out on him and be done. Trust me. Good luck!
 
 *Battle a specially coded  Sandstone that fully heals and becomes stronger if you use MP.*
 
 If you use MP, this message appears:
 "He didn't like you using mana. He has become Enraged!"
 
 Aelthai: And finally, for now, lets say hello to this guy. I've started calling him Frank.
 Aelthai: I've discovered they respond better when you identify with them.
 Aelthai: I'd pick the gear you'll take into battle carefully, because Frank doesn't respond well to changes in gear. Even pet changes might spook him.
 Aelthai: Good luck! I know you can do it!
 
 *Battle  Frank who gains more HP and becomes stronger if you change any items.*
 
 If you change any items during the battle, this message appears:
 "Frank does not like that. He has become enraged!"
 
 Aelthai: Well now, that wasn't so bad was it?
 Aelthai: I should expect to see these newly trained monsters starting to show up in quests soon!
 Aelthai: Wait!
 
 *RUMBLE*
 *RUMBLE*
 *RUMBLE*
 *RUMBLE*
 
 Aelthai: ...
 
 *THUNK*
 
 Aelthai: Thunk? Thunks NEVER a good noise! Look's like Frank, er, got better? And he looks MAD!
 Aelthai: Might want to bring some friends in on this one!

 After defeating Frank:
 Aelthai: There now, that wasn't so bad was it?
 <Character>: You mean I'm done? Really?
 Aelthai: Yup. I'd call that experiment basically successful! Thanks for all your help!
 Aelthai: But what about Frank coming back?!
 Aelthai: BASICALLY a success!
 Aelthai: Anyways, feel free to leave whenever you're done!
 Aelthai: How?
 Aelthai: What do you mean how? I left the door open you could have left whenever you wanted-
 Aelthai: ...
 Aelthai: Wait. Humans. You can fly right?
 Aelthai: Uh... no?
 Aelthai: Right...Well then, here you go!
 
 *A ladder is lowered below, allowing you to climb out of the pit.*
 
 Complete Quest!
