I've heard so much about you and your travels! <Character>: Hi, little guy. All good things, I hope? Rudyard: Yep! Mostly. Rudyard: What can I do for you? Moglin? <Character>: Aren't moglins extremely magical creatures? What are you doing working with the Rose? Rudyard: We are! And it's true the Rose has been doing some... mean things to magical creatures, but it's only for their safety! Rudyard: I want to help save people from bad magic too! I help out with healing the injured. But... <Character>: Is everything okay? Rudyard: Yep! I just haven't been able to make many friends, even though we're all supposed to be working together. The Rose <Character>: Does the Rose have a strong presence in the area? Rudyard: Yep! This area is under the combined watch of the Rose and the Guardian Order! Rudyard: A lot of places have been having issues with elementals and other scary magical things, so please be careful! <Character>: Is there anything you can tell me about these scary magical things? Rudyard: I'm not too familiar with the situation myself, but I've heard the Dwarves of Lymcrest have started moving elsewhere... Rudyard: ... and Willowshire is now completely uninhabitable. But we're doing our best to reclaim what we can! <Character>: I see, I'll keep an eye out! Rudyard: Be safe! Opulaster Opulaster: Halt! No one is permitted to enter Verteroche Crossing for the time being. There has been a murder in the Caravan Express. Louis Philippe Louis Philippe: It's really boring out here. I wish SOMETHING would happen. Rarli Rarli: May Father Lore guide me, may Mother Core bless me. May Father Lore guide me, may Mother Core bless me. <Character>: I shouldn't intrude, she seems to be praying. Spiraea Spiraea: Leave me alone, if you don't want to end up with an arrow in your knee, honey. <Character>: That's not a very nice thing to say to a stranger... Spiraea: Well, I am not a very nice woman. Spiraea: I'm a member of Lady Jaania's elite huntress group, the Pleasant Scents. The name should tell you everything there is to know. <Character>: Pleasant indeed... Spiraea: I'm on a hunt for particularly vicious Minx Fairy. If you can point me in the right direction, I can compensate you. <Character>: I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Spiraea: Then scram, honey. Frowein Frowein: This is some nice wood, all sleek and smooth... Frowein: It would be a shame if... someone were to cut it up and... Frowein: *drools* Frowein: ... Frowein: Calm down, Frowein. Don't touch the wood. Frowein: Remember what the Brigadier General told you after you reduced that watchtower into a pile of firewood... Delfror Delfror: This is a nice and quiet retreat for all travelers moving east and west of the Kingdom... Take a rest, but don't cause trouble. Cascabel & Fournas Cascabel: So, did you hear? Fournas: ...I think I'm going to regret asking, but no. What is it now? Cascabel: They say Espina Rosa is empty... Fournas: Oh, come on. That's rich, even for you. Cascabel: I swear. My cousin's been garrisoned there from the get-go and... Cascabel: You won't hear this out in the open... Cascabel: ... but he hasn't seen the Sanctuary imprisoned there for years now. Fournas: The Sanctuary? Cascabel: Haven't you been enrolled for several years now? Fournas: No, I've just two... I thought you knew that. Cascabel: Huh. Well, I guess that one went over your head then... Fournas: I figure I've probably had had enough of your tall tales for the day anyway... Vorst Vorst: Hail, <Class>. I'm afraid I can't give you a ride to Dragesvard. Talk Vorst: What, you've never heard of it? Vorst: Dragesvard is a city built on a giant glacier. However, because of the unusually strong currents as of late, it's started to drift too much to the west Vorst: I believe the Rose is preparing giant chains to anchor it to the land, before it sails into the open seas. Celsiana Celsiana: I thought I saw something in the trees over there. Must have been seeing things. Edmund Edmund: Sorry, Hero, but you can't go into Willowshire. We're... it's not really a place to live anymore, if I'm being honest. Edmund: The last few disasters have driven many people to leave Willowshire in search of less troubled areas. Edmund: Can't say I blame them. Edmund: There are still a few people out there, but there aren't particularly looking forwards to a visit right now. Edmund: It seems like where people have left, elementals have up and decided to take up residence and fill the void. Edmund: I guess that might just be nature's way of doing things, but it's causing lots of issues for anyone still there. Edmund: Who knows? Perhaps we'll need a good hand when we figure out what to do with the place... Other information Pop-up headlines in the area: quote:
