Dialogue
Void Ship
Eirn: Greetings <Character>.
Quests!
- Quest
Eirn: If you can, take my Crystoidator v.4, go defeat void beings and upload their void essence into it, I'm eager to study it!
- Personal quest
Eirn: <Character>, do you have a minute? I have a request.
Talk
Eirn: I'm all ears!
- Who are you?
Eirn: Right, time to properly introduce myself. I'm Eirn, a technomancer and ship's engineer. You've known me as the "mysterious gnome"!
Eirn: I'll be overseeing the Void Drive, ship's main intelligent power source. My job here is to provide a safe and steady voyage! *laughs*
- Void Drive
Eirn: The Void Drive is my greatest creation so far. It is a crystalized mass of pure void energy. You can say it's an artificially created void core.
Eirn: It is extreamly unstable, so I had to design a way to keep it contained and stable...
Eirn: ...or otherwise it would start expanding and contracting at the same time, leading to... well, we certainly don't want to find out, do we!
Eirn: Not yet, but I'm working on it. Void is a curious thing and just think of what we could find out about it by asking it!
Eirn: Kordana was kind enough to give me part of her "soul", for a lack of better term, and I want to inject it into the Void Drive!
- Kordana?
Eirn: Oh yes, I've met her during one of my journeys. Or should I say, what was left of her. She lost her power source and was slowly fading.
Eirn: I did my best to keep her systems operating, but... I'm not sure if she's still around today. In return for doing my best, she gave me an artifact.
Eirn: A round disc-like object that apparently has her soul inside.
Eirn: I didn't think of it much back then, but now, I think it would be a splendid idea to fuse this disc with the Void Drive!
- Why so mysterious?
Eirn: Ah... you see <Character>, I had to hide my identity. Here, no one knows me, so I don't have to keep my face hidden. I am a wanted man.
Eirn: I stole something a long time ago from a prominent gnome family, they took something of mine, I want them pay, they want me dead.
Eirn: Simple, really.
Invite Eirn as a guest - invites Eirn as Guest A.
Into the Ynnungaap
Eirn: The Void Drive is successfully connected to every part of the ship, including the sails woven by soulweavers.
Eirn: Trithril coating is activated, which means the ship should withstand anything threatening the void has to offer.
Eirn: Hmm.. not quite.
Eirn: We're not moving. Void Drive is operating, sails are ready, but we're not moving.
Eirn: I don't understand, the void energy should be fueling the sails.
Eirn: This... ship doesn't work like this. We don't even have oar-
Eirn: We have nothing to fear, trithril coating should be able to repel void storms, as well as any damage done to the ship.
Eirn: We just need to hold on to something!
Eirn: Ship... the void drive! It- it stopped working!!!
Adrift
Eirn: Bad news! The Void Drive is functional again, but someone severed every link that connected it with the ship.
Eirn: I can't repair it, I don't have the proper tools and materials.
Eirn: We're... stranded. Adrift. Floating aimlessly.
Eirn: The hull is damaged, we lost most of the sails, most of the food supplies and some of the people...
Eirn: That means wood. Great! We might be able to repair some of the damage.
Void War Intro
Eirn: I'll stay on the ship with the other gnomes and work on the Void Drive. We are in a very close proximity to the void core.
Eirn: I can take an advantage of this. If I boost the VD with the real core energy, maybe we can rip through the vortex and go back, against all the odds.
Eirn: And we will set up catapults and cannons, but that might take a while.
Eirn: Ah, I made these a few hours ago! Explaining how they work would take me too much time, but in theory..
Eirn: ... these devices are linked together allowing communication over short distances.
Eirn: I didn't have much time to test them...
Tomix's Saga Epilogue
Eirn: We are reaching the vortex.
Eirn: The Void Drive is powered up by the Ynnungaap Core energy, we might be able to pierce through... but it will be a rough ride.
Eirn: So, this... is where we part ways.
Can We Yix Him?
Eirn: I got here as fast as I could, cut me some slack!
Eirn: It's finished!
Eirn: Oh, hello, <Character>!
Eirn: It's good to see you again!
Eirn: SHOULD, Emelia. Not will, should.
Eirn: I didn't even have the time to test it. I don't even know how I could test it.
Eirn: Well, I'm down. It has been a while since we've worked together!
Eirn: Certainly.
Eirn: It's alright, Emelia.
Eirn: It's alright.
Eirn: I'm here, the augment is ready (probably), so... Let's go find Yix!
Eirn: And then we can help <Character>!
Eirn: Not anytime soon <Character>, I'm afraid.
Eirn: This site is compromised. The Rose still patrols it from time to time.
Eirn: Maybe someday, but... not right now. Not with The Rose around.
Eirn: Oh, right.
Eirn: The hair, please.
Eirn: Thank you. Now...
Eirn: This... is not good. <Character>?
Eirn: The augment will guide us!
Eirn: This is odd.
Eirn: It's telling me that Yix is precisely... here.
Eirn: Let me check his-
Eirn: He's dead.
Eirn: Hmm? There's something in his hand.
Eirn: It's wedged up tight... let me just...
Eirn: Carefully...
Eirn: There!
Eirn: It says... "I don't think I'm going to make it. Emelia, if you are reading this, I hope everyone made it out alive. PS: The main pipe is clogged."
Eirn: Hmm.
Eirn: After we unclog the main pipe.
Eirn: Come on, why do you think he'd include that in his dying note? It's a clue!
Eirn: The access to the pipe should be somewhere under...
Eirn: This tile!
Eirn: Hmm, I'm not sure, maybe <Character> can?
Eirn: Heh, of course not! You're humongous! You wouldn't fit!
Eirn: Alright, I'm going in.
Eirn: This was in there.
Eirn: It has a button.
Eirn: Aaaah!
Eirn: Fascinating! Yix, you finished it!
Eirn: He uploaded his consciousness into an inanimate object!
Darkness is Coming
Eirn: Get a room, you two...
Reasons to Fight
Eirn: I... I don't have anything you want!
Eirn: And if I resist? I'll not fall into the hands of The Rose!
Eirn: If you say so, Yix.
Eirn: Fine. But I'm mashing you if we end up imprisoned, or experimented on, or...
Roots of Change
Eirn: No offense, your majesty, but some of your citizens already have, with spittle and unkind words.
Eirn: That we do! It's coated with trithril!
Eirn: Trithril is an Atealan mineral. Came with them when their city showed up before the whole Rose fiasco.
Eirn: It's used to protect things from harmful magical radiation.
Eirn: Oh boy. So, my experience with it also involved a ship. In that case, it was used to protect against the ambient magical... weirdness of the Void.
Eirn: That... ambient weirdness is what the Ateala call radiation.
Eirn: My understanding is that there was some debris that arrived with the city when it first appeared. Some of which contained hefty trithtril deposits.
Eirn: And The Rose seems to have a way of finding what they want.
Eirn: I really need to finish making you that chassis.
Eirn: Well, Yix figured whatever was going on with the airship and The Rose probably wasn't good...
Eirn: ...since they had to bribe a bunch of gnomes to make it.
Eirn: ...Didn't think much beyond that, honestly!
Eirn: Yeah, probably.
The Point of No Return (Part 2)
Eirn: Can't promise anything. And we don't want that, uh, device going off either. So blowing it out of the sky isn't an option.
Fallen Facade
Eirn: ...So...?
Eirn: What do we do now?
Eirn: We're in the storage hold! The worst I can do here is maybe upturn a barrel, or mix up their food supplies.
Eirn: No, no. Deep breaths, Eirn. You've been through worse than this.
Eirn: ...Or a power drain could slow down the ship.
Eirn: Yes! Hold your spuds, Yix, I have an idea!
Eirn: There. How does that feel?
Eirn: Yix here can trace the flow of energy along the entire ship. Gives us a map of where things are, at the very least.
Eirn: What is it?
Eirn: Understandable. Just say the word and I'll un-link you.
Eirn: Can you see if there's a way to slow the ship down? Buy some time. Nothing else matters.
Eirn: Right. Let's get it done, and get off this ship. Being here is starting to give me shivers.
Eirn: The potatoes are quality!
Eirn: The potatoes are good to go! We're done!
Eirn: By Haeos's gears, this better work...
Chasing Answers
Eirn: Don't bother. They're already gone.
Eirn: Staying behind was his idea. While it does put him in considerable risk, having him aboard provides us with valuable data.
Eirn: According to my calculations, the ship is already beyond the reach of conventional magic.
Eirn: Well, I'm not. There's been more than enough excitement for this gnome, thank you very much.
Hawk in the Sky
Eirn: According to the tracker, and my calculations, I would estimate that he, and the airship, are currently making their way over Kaer Sierra.
Eirn: Yix's tampering with the power flow has slowed their progress, and the winds of the Steppes probably aren't helping.
Eirn: The trithril plating might be a problem, too! If they managed to repair the hole Circe made, it'll be hard to punch through.
Eirn: And don't forget about Yix! He doesn't deserve to get mashed after all he's been through!
Eirn: That's actually a rather complicated philosophical—
Eirn: ...He understood the risks when he decided to stay behind.
Eirn: ...
Eirn: Yix... you deserve better, you old gnome.
Eirn: It's... alright.
Eirn: Yix wouldn't want us to fail on his account.
Eirn: Gnomish Steamtanks! Those traitors!
The Forgotten Vessel
Eirn: Recently, someone I've met in my travels revealed to me something spectacular!
Eirn: There is a large structure, deep underground, roughly in the same vicinity where Popsprocket once was!
Eirn: It's a ship! A ship, much like this one I believe, only it could... voyage through the stars! A Stars Ship, if you will!
Eirn: From ancient times, when people could traverse through the cosmos just like how we can travel through the Void now!
Eirn: Now that I think about it, perhaps I should ask the Ateala if any of their old songs mention encountering such ships...
Eirn: Oh?
Eirn: Very well! Inside this structure, this Stars Ship, is something I need.
Eirn: Urgently so.
Eirn: However, I'm not that well equipped to venture deep below on my own.
Eirn: And while I am resourceful, and I've survived through many perils before, this is VERY uncharted territory.
Eirn: And who's better to chart the uncharted than the uncharted's charterer!
Eirn: Yes! The caves are unexplored, deep, and dark, but worry not! I have two contraptions that will aid us.
Eirn: My mechanical Firefly, to light our path, and Airyfier, a magitech device I made that will purify a pocket of oxygen around us.
Eirn: One cannot know if there is enough breathable air down there!
Eirn: Ah! There it is!
Eirn: This little thing, <Character>, is an ancient magical mirror. A vessel, to be precise.
Eirn: A vessel that can hold the ancient, long lost, souls of the forgotten and departed!
Eirn: Hah, sorry!
Eirn: No no, it's nothing malicious, I assure you!
Eirn: In fact, it will help me save someone. A someone that I've mentioned before, who I met during my recent journeys.
Eirn: I can't disclose anything more, for he– for their safety, but yes. This one-of-a-kind artifact will be used to save a life!
Eirn: Oh, well... point taken.
Eirn: Might as well grab a few... dozens, while we're here! Just in case!
Eirn: Absolutely not! These are priceless vessels for souls!
Eirn: Thank you for helping me with this, <Character>. I wouldn't be able to get this far without you!
Eirn: Now, let's get out of here. And please, do not speak of this place to anyone. Not yet, anyway. I want to properly explore this craft...
Eirn: Should you wish to call upon me in the future, I'll be waiting!
