Dialogue
Rift War!
Etaos: These infernals should be nothing for a hardened <Class> as yourself.
Heroes From Beyond
???: An elegant display, brother!
Etaos: Hold on. Isiri needs to recover after that last spell.
Etaos: It just so happens we came from that city you're heading to. Atrea is its name.
Etaos: I could give you a tour later, perhaps.
Etaos: As you say, brother.
The General's Arrival
Etaos: We will have to thank them later. They've done much by providing shelter and protection for the displaced Ateala.
Etaos: The local Guardians are helping, too. We don't have to do everything ourselves.
The Puppet General
Etaos: We'll deal with that when we get there!
Etaos: If there's anything we can do to make up for it, please, let us know.
A Brief Respite
Etaos: Ask away, friend!
Etaos: The songs sing of decisions made in the name of survival. Of those who fell to allow others to escape.
Etaos: We were at peace.
Etaos: You are a hero among heroes, <Character>. Thank you.
Starlit Sandsea
Etaos: You can count on us!
Etaos: And that's every refugee accounted for.
Welcome to Atrea!
Etaos: Relax, Nirios. It's been a long night. Let's be grateful and generous hosts to <Character> and <Dragon>, yes?
Etaos: Well then, you two, looks like you're going to be in our care for now!
Etaos: Now, shall we begin? Your first steps into Atrea await!
Etaos: Looks like the annoying "Raising of the Lens" ceremony actually meant something, after all.
Etaos: The Lens is enhanced with trithril, and Cryptics use their mental abilities to keep it high above the city.
Etaos: Exactly! This tour serves a very important purpose! It wouldn't do for our visiting hero to get lost in the alleys when we need <him/her/them>!
Etaos: Nirios and I live there, actually. As do Alz'ein and Isiri, and others, of course!
Etaos: Aha. That is up for her to decide.
Etaos: You do not request an audience to see The Empress, she will make herself known when and if she deems fit.
Etaos: I wonder if any of the other Unael escaped...
Etaos: Ah. Something to worry about later.
Etaos: Let's continue the tour! How about we visit the civil district next?
Etaos: See you around, Yolande!
Etaos: You know I will! Let's see... where to next?
Etaos: Oh, I know! The inn! You generously hosted us in Falconreach, why don't we get you a place to stay here?
Etaos: Sure thing. Come on, <Character>, <Dragon>. Let's get to the inn!
Etaos: Hmm.
Etaos: It's definitely more crowded than I remember.
Etaos: Ah. Yeah. That makes sense. Sorry.
Etaos: Hopefully we can still get you a room to stay in...
Etaos: Why don't we get you something local to drink, first? Pay you back for the Moglinberry juice!
Etaos: Hey, D'iea! Three glasses of Zin'nichi Brew, please!
Etaos: Out of Zin'nichi Brew? Come on. How can that be?
Etaos: Don't know if you have anything like it on Lore. It grows in the ground with big leaves, very starchy.
Etaos: You can juice the tuber into Zin'nichi Brew, and some people like to eat the leaves.
Etaos: The juice is very sweet, so we add in a few spices to balance the flavor out.
Etaos: The leaves... well, some Ateala would eat them for every meal, but I think they taste disgusting.
Etaos: Seems like however people feel about it, it might be a while until we have more.
Etaos: They used to be grown in fields outside the city, you see.
Etaos: The sands here might make things difficult.
Etaos: Oh! I'm sorry, I'm rambling! It's just such a pleasure to explain basic things such as zin'nichi!
Etaos: I imagine so! We'll just have to make do for now, though.
Etaos: But, ah, perhaps we can talk about something other than what's been lost.
Etaos: What about—
Etaos: Actually, as it turns out—
Etaos: I'm afraid our tour ends here, then, <Character>, <Dragon>.
Etaos: I'll go with Alz'ein and the others to search around.
Etaos: Since you're still getting used to the city, I'd suggest sticking with Yolande and seeing if she can find something for you to do.
Etaos: Yes, let's go.
The Lost Ateala
Etaos: It stinks of ashes... but there's more signs of battle.
Etaos: Yolande's contacts told her that the visiting hero seemed to have a lead.
Etaos: We trust your judgment, and once we were on your tail, it was easy enough to follow.
Etaos: Another attack is imminent.
Etaos: I shall, brother.
Rising Fire (Intro)
Etaos: It was quite the little adventure. I'm relieved to see that the assault hasn't yet begun.
Etaos: Ah, right! About that.
Etaos: We met a Ranger, Zhoom, in Duat, who instantly recognized <Dragon>.
Etaos: He was still initially distrustful of me, since Atrea appearing so close seems to have put his people on alert.
Etaos: They're fortifying their town, and Zhoom has promised to help fight off any monsters that appear, as well.
Etaos: That's good to hear. The Guardians were similarly grateful to have advance warning about the next attack.
Etaos: They're still recovering from last time, but they'll send whoever they can spare to at least try to contain the fight in the desert.
Etaos: Thanks to the Guardians, I was able to get an emergency meeting with the King himself.
Etaos: I wasn't sure what to expect, but I get the feeling he wasn't either. <Dragon> certainly put him at ease.
Etaos: After explaining our situation, however, he did not hesitate to promise his aid.
Etaos: "An attack on guests within my Kingdom is an attack on the Kingdom itself!", is what he said.
Etaos: We will have knights assisting in our defense during the day.
Etaos: King Alteon spared no time in issuing his orders, and the knights should arrive shortly.
The Harbinger
Etaos: Alz'ein, hold on! Can't you feel that? Something's happening...
Etaos: Hold on, Alz'ein!
Etaos: No... This presence... It's different...
Etaos: I do not know. But from the elemental energy radiating from it...
Etaos: Some place consumed by fire... Perhaps another of Wargoth's conquests?
Etaos: Wargoth's power has grown. He's capitalized on your world's weaknesses.
Etaos: ...Good luck, <Character>, <Dragon>!
Etaos: Who is the Blue Mage?
Etaos: Hold on, you two. I'm getting a message from Nirios.
Etaos: I...
Etaos: ...I understand.
Etaos: It's... about Veyla.
Etaos: I'm sorry, Alz'ein. She's... gone missing. Again.
Etaos: Isiri took her focus off her for just a second to help the Empress deflect the Avatar's fire onslaught and—
Etaos: But, Alz'ein, the sunlight—
Etaos: Do not despair, <Character>! You protected many Ateala with your efforts.
Etaos: Veyla was already vulnerable. I'm sure Isiri did her best, too.
Etaos: And Alz'ein... We'll catch up to her. She's tough. Don't worry.
Etaos: You did what you could. Do not blame yourself for this.
Etaos: Ah... I'm sure a hero as storied as yourself must have met many hardships in your adventures.
Etaos: Come on. We've repelled Wargoth's army again, and it looks like things are calming down. We should be able to head back now.
Etaos: Isiri and Nirios can help us decide the next step.
Etaos: You're certainly popular, aren't you?
After Alz'ein!
Etaos: She went after Veyla and the Professor.
Etaos: No, Isiri. If you hadn't lent your strength to defending Atrea, many more Ateala would have been hurt, or worse.
Etaos: You did what you had to.
Etaos: What is it, Isiri? Did the Empress speak to you?
Etaos: You got it, brother!
The Spire
Etaos: Jatiw human, your mischief skills are quite impressive...imagine what you would be able to do with illusions.
Brainstorm! (DA Required)
From July 20th, 2012:
Etaos: Not a chance, I will not let you enter my mind, you are not truely a Cryptic yet.
From January 25th, 2013:
Etaos: Nirios thinks you are ready. I'm not convinced yet, but... let's try you out!Talk
Etaos: You've got some questions I presume?- Who are you?
Etaos: The name's Etaos A'ravi, Nirios' twin brother and the most accurate cryptic in Atrea. I'm also a really good dancer.
- Cryptic?
Etaos: The mind is the most powerful weapon. That's our credo. Cryptics do not need any weapons, we use our minds to cause pain. Or pleasure.
Etaos: We do not have to be "one with the shadows", we can simply fool our enemy to see what we want him to see.
Etaos: Cryptics may seem weak and fragile, but we still are hardly ever wounded, thanks to our decoy illusions.
Etaos: The most powerful techniques, created long time ago by unaels, affect not only mind, but also the brain structure and neurons.
Etaos: The only limit to your power......is your imagination!
- Unael?
Etaos: Sorry, I know too little about unaels to tell you anything useful. My brother is one of them, he can explain it to you.
Etaos: Now, to think about that, my brother isn't the only one. Isiri is also a unael.
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Become A Cryptic!
Etaos: If you can face your greatest fears... you're ready to become a true Cryptic.- Equip Cryptic - equips Cryptic class.
- Give Armor back
Mind Chamber
Etaos: Welcome in my Mind Chamber <Character>. I will extract things you are afraid of, things you regret, from your consciousness...
Etaos: ...and you will have to face them. Are you ready?
Etaos: Who's that?
Etaos: Time for another apparition.
Etaos: I think I've already seen enough. You have proven you can deal with your nightmares and...
Etaos: Hmm...?
Etaos: Now, this is interesting!
Etaos: I am really impressed <Character>! Not only you've defeated your nightmares, but you've also shown me your true self.
Etaos: Training you as Cryptic will be my, and Nirios' honor!
The Empress
Etaos: This is no Wargoth, but the threat is as real as ever.
Etaos: Retreat is the only optio—
Etaos: Jatiw, <Character>.
Etaos: Very well.
Song of the Ateala
Etaos: Shh, <Character>. Nirios is focusing!
Etaos: Ah, hush, just listen to that song.
Etaos: We're in it!
Etaos: Well, towards the end.
Etaos: There's some really cool bits! Romance, fighting, tragedy, and comedy, history really has it all.
Etaos: Beat 'em all up!
Arrival of the Vind
Etaos: I think this would be agreeable.
Etaos: At once, Alz'ein.
Song in Our Hearts
Etaos: Nirios is letting me speak to you through him! Isn't this cool?
Etaos: Oof, hey—!
Etaos: There is no need for pushing! Nirios can—
Etaos: Smack this titan with all you've got!
Etaos: Nirios, let's go!!
Etaos: You're... hngh... up, <Character>!
Etaos: What do we do now?
Etaos: We hold her song in our own hearts until then.
