If it isn't, <Character>, then me own name ain't Rhubarb. Ye come again to visit Osprey Cove, eh? Random Quest! Go on Rhubarb's random quests! Rhubarb: A very valuable shipment of critters called Trobbles were swallowed by a whale. You can find the whale near the shore south of here. Rhubarb: I've never seen one of these Trobbles but people will pay a gold or two for 'em. Get inside that whale and get a box of that cargo. Rhubarb: Gettin' out of the whale will be more interesting. I doubt that beast will want to spit you out. Good luck, <Class>! Rhubarb: Time for ye to swab the decks, mate! Several of the ships in the harbor have a ninja infestation problem. Rhubarb: Start at the front of the ship and work yer way to the aft, cleaning out all the ninjas that you can. Any trasure that ye find along the way is yers to keep. Rhubarb: The ninjas have been trying fer months to steal the navigational charts from all the ships here in the cove... using trained monkies... Rhubarb: If ye want to proove yer loyaty to the pirates, get on those ships and STOP THOSE MONKIES! (*sigh* I can't believe I just said that.) Talk Rhubarb: A lot's changed, so I'm sure ye've got questions about what's been goin' on in Osprey Cove! I'll do me best ta answer them. - The Rose?
Rhubarb: Ye've been gone a long time, <Character>. We tried ta make peace with those ninjas, we really did! And after what happened those years ago... Rhubarb: ...With Blackberry, crazy crab people from beneath th' waves, even the ninja magic afore ye set them to rights... Rhubarb: Th' sun disappearin', and th' seas almost catchin' on fire before ye caught yer cold... Rhubarb: Well, we've turned a respectable new leaf as it were. Came to an arrangement with tha Rose. Rhubarb: They needed a port on the east, and we need protection. And with everything that's happn'in up north with tha ninjas... well... Rhubarb: Folks may not be too happy with it, but we need tha help. Still, ye be th' only one I ever dealt with that could truly be called a matey. - Pirates?
Rhubarb: Yar! A pirates life is th' best life one can have, but ye know that from when ye helped with th' ninjas years ago! Don't ye remember?Rhubarb: There be nothin' to tie ye down. Yer as free as the wind that fills yer sails! Yer home is anywhere that touches the sea! Rhubarb: Some pirates are in the business for the riches... and it's true that as a pirate you take what you want, but a REAL pirate's treasure is his honor... Rhubarb: ...well, his honor and his gold! Alright, mostly the gold, but a pirate without honor is no pirate at all. - Ninjas?
Rhubarb: Ninjas! Nothing but treacherous, back-stabbing thieves! Or so I woulda said years ago. Rhubarb: After that storm started comin' in, I had no pleasure seein' them taken down by the fury of nature. Rhubarb: We pirates have been at war with the Ninjas for as long as we can remember. But it don't do to see them like this. Rhubarb: They're people, too. Even if their ways are... diff'rent. But people won't put their grudges down so easily. Rhubarb: Even with the whole island in danger, there are pirates and ninjas both still causin' trouble and stirrin' things up. Rhubarb: If ye could help deal with some of those honorless antics, I'd be much obliged. - Osprey Cove?
Rhubarb: Within these islands, swarming with magic, monsters and ninjas, the only place that a pirate can feel safe is Osprey Cove. Rhubarb: For generations Osprey Cove has been a place that any pirate sailing these seas could call their home away from home. Rhubarb: But times be changin'. With The Rose port in full gear, we're seein' people from all over comin' in, startin' new lives. Rhubarb: All the ol' stores are still open, o' course, but a new winds has blown through Osprey Cove. We're a proper city now! Respectable! Rhubarb: It's still a pirate haven, though, so watch your step, and watch your pack. The Rose won't help ya if you get on a pirate's bad side! Rhubarb: Most of the bad eggs have been pushed out of the city now, but ye can't be too careful. Most o' the pirates left are the friendly type. Mostly. Heal & potions - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Become A Pirate! Rhubarb: WHAT?! YE want to be a pirate! I would never give you the Pirate Armor without proof you had years of sailing experience! Rhubarb: Ye'll have to come up with Papers that prove that ye know how to sail. But... *ahem*... Rhubarb: ...If you need a little help finding some Papers, go see Meringue in the weapon shop *wink* - Give Forged Papers Pirate Armor
If you haven't unlocked Pirate already: Rhubarb: Well, these papers look like they're in order! Here is your armor, <Character>. Today, ye are reborn as a pirate! YAR! If you have unlocked Pirate already: (Pop-up: You have already unlocked the Pirate Armor.) - Wear Armor
Rhubarb: Do ye wish to put on the Pirate Armor? No sailor worth his salt would fear a pirate wearing that <Class> outfit! - Wear Pirate Armor - equips Pirate class.
- Give Armor back
quote:
NOTE: You do not need to be wearing the Pirate Armor to obtain Black Pearls from Rhubarb's quests. - Train Armor
Rhubarb: If you bring me a Black Pearl (Ye can find them in any of my quests), then i will train you a new Pirate Armor skill. - Train Pirate Armor
If you haven't fully trained Pirate already: Consumes 1 Black Pearl, unlocks a new skill. If you have fully trained Pirate already: (Pop-up: Pirate Armor fully trained!) - About Pirate
Rhubarb: So you want ta know about how a Pirate fights? Let me speak ta ya in plain terms. Rhubarb: Pirates are always looking for an Opening to strike. Get the drop on your foes at the start of a battle, or avoid an incoming attack... Rhubarb: Then fire a couple of shots from your trusty sidearm, earning you some precious Plunder! And everyone knows Pirates love Plunder. Rhubarb: As you earn Plunder, you'll do more damage with your attacks... but you can only carry so much. You can only hold up to 5 pieces of Plunder. Rhubarb: If you find some Cursed Treasure, it will boost the effects of your Plunder, but at a cost. If you're still holding it when the effect wears off... Rhubarb: ...All of your Plunder will vanish. I've heard some good ol' Lime-Aid can help with nasty curses though. Rhubarb: In summary: Avoid attacks to find Openings, and use Openings to earn Plunder to increase your base damage! Set Home Town Rhubarb: Are ys sure that ye wish to set Osprey Cove as yer home town? - Yes
Rhubarb: All right, yer home town has been reset! - No
Rose Sentry Rose Sentry: Hey! You look pretty capable! Want to do your part and help out The Rose with some urgent business? Quest! Rose Sentry: This path leads toward Shadow of the Wind Village. I have some missives to deliver to the Captain at the checkpoint along the way. Rose Sentry: The road is dangerous. The storm spews stray elementals, so you'll need to be on your guard. Rose Sentry: If you could do me this favor, we do have some spare weapons lying around we could part with. - I'll do it!
Rose Sentry: Thank you! Take these scrolls, and just follow the path out. Keep your weapon ready! - No thanks
Rose Sentry: I don't blame you. I'll just have to see if I can find someone else to do it... Upon approaching Rose Sentry after selecting "I'll do it!": Rose Sentry: On your way, then! The Captain's waiting! After delivering the missives to the Rose Captain at the Sho'Nuff Checkpoint: Rose Sentry: You're back in one piece! I'm... well, mostly grateful. As promised then, your pick of our spare weapons! If heading right, going to Sho'Nuff Checkpoint: Begins Storm Over Sho'Nuff quest. Meringue's Weapon Shop Meringue: Ahoy <Class>! Take a look around. Lookin' is free! Shop - opens Meringue's Shop. Talk Meringue: I'm Meringue. I may be the only person ever to grow up in Osprey Cove. Meringue: Folks come n' go as they please but I've always been here, and I always will. I buy "salvaged" weapons and rework them into my own design! Meringue: As long as pirates need weapons, I'll be here to sell them! Rumors Meringue: I've heard the crew aboard the Red Betty is sick of how Cap'n Blackberry treats 'em. Might be a mutiny soon! Central Path Worried Citizen: I can't believe I locked myself out! Where could I have left my keys? Worried Citizen: Or maybe it was one of those dirty pirates who took it from me... Worried Citizen: I'll just ask someone from The Rose to help... Bored Citizen: A lot of us moved here from Swordhaven with The Rose. Bored Citizen: I thought I'd be sailing the high seas and saying "Arr!" by now! Bored Citizen: But no, I've got a stable life here. I've got a family, a job... Bored Citizen: ...Maybe I'll sneak onto one of the next ships heading out... Rightmost Path Displaced Ninja: I keep telling my family to move here with me. Displaced Ninja: The Rose won't be able to keep the waves at bay forever, even with the help of the pirates. Displaced Ninja: What? I'm surprised you haven't heard. Displaced Ninja: A massive storm from the ocean has been threatening Shadow of the Wind Village for a few years now. Displaced Ninja: The Rose has been doing all they can to help... but they're slowly losing more and more ground. Displaced Ninja: I fear that unless something changes, the village will be dragged into the waters before long. Salty Pirate: I can't believe what's become of Osprey Cove! Salty Pirate: First The Rose, then... tourists! Salty Pirate: There's even some ninja! Salty Pirate: Ol' Rhubarb must have lost his touch. He's certainly lost his pride as a pirate! Fancy Citizen: We should go to the markets again today! I could use some fresh fruit and air! Dapper Citizen: Hmm, but I was thinking about a stroll down to the beach! It's such a fine day! Dapper Citizen: ...And watching The Rose at work is always exciting! Fancy Citizen: Don't lie, you just want to ogle that soldier boy you like! Dapper Citizen: And what if I do? The way he lifts those boxes... Manahunter: Staying out of trouble? The pirates take care of most of the security, so don't come running to me if you put your nose where it doesn't belong. Manahunter: Part of the arrangement, see. We get to bring civilization to this once-wretched place... Manahunter: But we also respect the pirates' authority and hierarchy. Manahunter: They provide ships and sailing expertise, and help us along Greenguard's coast. Manahunter: I'm not complaining. Less work for me! Pikhan's Pet Shop Pikhan: Welcome to Piratical Pets! We have some of the very rarest and most exotic pets from the corners of the world... but we're out of parrots. Shop - opens Piratical Pets shop. Missing Pets Pikhan: Ahoy, <Character>! Are ye lookin' for a pet? <Character>: Aye- I mean... yes, I am. Pikhan: Well, then yer out of luck, someone set free my last shipment of pets last night. <Character>: What about all of these pets around the shop? Are they for sale? Pikhan: Nay, they be display models only. Display Charko: Mrowr. <Character>: Any idea who did it? Pikhan: 'fraid not. I would follow the pets meself, but I fear the culprit will come back to release the rest. Display Charko: Mrowr? Pikhan: I mean, steal the display models. <Character>: I could go after the pets for you. Pikhan: That'd be mighty kind of ye. They ran into the jungle according to witnesses; if yer quick ye may be able to catch up to them. <Character>: I'll be off then! Pikhan: Aye. The poor things may be lost and confused, but they're tough little fellas. Let 'em know who's boss and they'll fall into line. Talk Pikhan: Avast! My name is Pikhan. From time to time, rare creatures will be "salvaged" from other ships. Pikhan: Then they are brought here. I have trained all of these creatures myself, and now they are ready to be loyal battle pets! Pikhan: All of them are backed by the Pirates Warranty! Pirate's Warranty! If you are unsatisfied with your pirate purchase for any reason... tough luck, pal! WE'RE PIRATES! You're lucky that we didn't just rob you blind in the first place! Look Around - allows player to interact with various pets/objects in the shop: quote:
That is um.. you. The Hero! They call this guy Flatasaurus. I wonder why... This is the Jacksparrow, a rare tropical bird with lots of eyeliner Keeping the window open in a pet store is a universally bad idea! Pikhan thinks that you started a staring contest! That Charko is dangerous on land and sea! Careful, the Tropical BugMonkee has a poisonious bite! The Great White Charko! A small angry bal of shell and teeth. ...Knotty! The Cannon pet is a blast! These pets are more fun than this Barrel full of monkies! Docks Outside The Rose's Ship Rose Guard: Halt. Only Rose and those assisting the Shadow of the Wind project are allowed past this point. Rose Guard: I apologize, but that's the policy. The situation in the ninja village is balanced on a needle's point. Rose Guard: Any undocumented or unexpected variables could tip the situation into disaster. Marketplace Lhe'Shyian Trader: Fine goods from beyond the ocean! Handcrafted clothing and trinkets! Pirate Shopper: These prices... and I thought I was a pirate! Lhe'Shyian Trader: If you're looking for a bargain, you're welcome to try to brave the eternal stormpath yourself! Pirate Shopper: Er. No thanks. I get seasick easily. Lhe'Shyian Trader: Ah, but if I'm not a soft-hearted purveyor of goods! Lhe'Shyian Trader: Tell you what, how does 2% off sound? Might as well be giving them away! Outside the Arrrabella Pirate Guard: Arr! You approach the Arrrabella, flagship of Captain Pecan's glorious fleet! Pirate Guard: Ever wanted to see a real life pirate ship? Sign up for our tours, twice daily! Pirate Guard: We even have special "Haunted Sunken Ship" events for p-Arr-ties, reserved in advance! Pirate Guard: ... Pirate Guard: ...I miss the old days... Intrepid Angler Intrepid Angler: "Don't bother me. I need to focus." Said the Intrepid Angler in a steadfast voice. Intrepid Angler: He then added "Any bite could be the one... that legendary fish that takes you to paradise..." Inside the Arrrabella Main Deck Larboard Pirate: Maybe we should just... you know... mutiny! Starboard Pirate: Oh no, not this again! We have a good life here! At least half the chance of gettin' stabbed! Larboard Pirate: That's the problem! I can only babysit so many tourists before I lose my mind! Larboard Pirate: A pirate needs a good stabbin' every now and then! As a treat! Starboard Pirate: Tell you what, why don't we push one of the landlubbers overboard next tour? Starboard Pirate: An "immersive experience" we'll call it! Larboard Pirate: ...Fine. That'll do, for now. Starboard Cannon Cleaner: Don't mind me, just polishin' the ol' cannonballs! Cannon Cleaner: Gotta make sure they shine like the sun on a bald head for the guests! For'ard Pirate: I want to sail again! But The Rose won't take me on their voyages. For'ard Pirate: Apparently I'm not "presentable" enough! As if the sea cares how fancy you dress! For'ard Pirate: Arr! I'm losin' my sealegs stuck here like some kinda landlubber! Larboard Aft Pirate: Do I really have to be the Spooky Ghost Admiral Strawberry™ again tonight?! Daft Pirate: You're the only one who fits in the costume! Aft Pirate: Not my fault you all got fat lazing about with The Rose! Daft Pirate: Maybe not, but that be how the cannonball rolls! Aft Pirate: Spend any more time at the markets and you'll be the one rolling... Pirate Monkee: Ook! Captain Pecan's Quarters Captain Pecan: Arr! Welcome to me captain's quarters! Captain Pecan: No, ye can't fire the cannons, no, ye can't feed the parrots. Captain Pecan: Ye may look, but do not touch the plunder! Arr! Captain Pecan: ... Captain Pecan: Oh, who am I kidding? One of these days, we're going to set sail, tourists aboard or no, just to feel the wind in the sails again. Captain Pecan: Those old days are well and truly gone... Beach Rose Box-Mover: Out of the way, citizen, we've got boxes to move! Rose Captain: You! You look capable! - Quest!
Rose Captain: The Rose needs your help! A band of vagabond pirates has taken up residence in the lighthouse. Rose Captain: Normally we'd let them be, but then they decided to put out the light at the top! Rose Captain: The light is necessary for our ships to travel the coast and provide aid to the ninja village! Rose Captain: Now, technically we're supposed to respect the authority of the pirates here... Rose Captain: So it would probably only cause more problems if I sent in some of my Manahunters. Rose Captain: But if a passing adventurer were to simply... do a good deed... Rose Captain: Please, if you could drive out the pirates and relight the lighthouse, you'd be helping not just us... Rose Captain: ... but the ninjas and all of Greenguard! Other information Osprey Cove (Book 3)'s dialogue has been modified during various releases; any retired content has been archived here.
