RRRAAAGH! NO! This lump of scrap is not the manner[ST:n ]of blade I seek to make! Where am I going wrong?![ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev051001_MSG0002 |
Is it my skill that is lacking? The quality of my steel?[ST:n ]Or is it perhaps the fault of my fool apprentice![ST:n ]...Well? What say you, Gi Nagri?![ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev051001_MSG0003 |
What? M-me, sir...?[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev051001_MSG0004 |
If it IS you, I shall not hesitate to remedy the situation.[ST:n ]Stand still, boy! Even this failed blade should be more[ST:n ]than enough to cleave a flimsy thing like you in twain![ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev051001_MSG0005 |
M-Master, please! You must try to calm down![ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev051001_MSG0006 |
I have pounded steel for years in search of a blade[ST:n ]keen as a razor and adamantine in strength.[ST:n ]This marks my 10 thousandth attempt![ST:wait ] |
| 7 |
|
qev051001_MSG0007 |
You cannot expect me to look upon 10,000 steel[ST:n ]corpses—lifeless despite me pouring my very soul[ST:n ]into every last one of them—and remain CALM![ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev051001_MSG0008 |
You there! Human! Were you in my circumstances,[ST:n ]you would also be crazed with rage, would you not?[ST:wait ] |

Engage |

|
qev051001_SEL0011 |
Talk to the interesting Wrothian. |
| 11 |
|
qev051001_JNK0020 |
Avoid |
| 12 |
|
qev051001_SEL0021 |
Keep your distance from the loose-cannon swordsmith. |
| 13 |
|
qev051001_MSG0009 |
I have seen that look before. No need to say it,[ST:n ]human. I understand![ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev051001_MSG0010 |
Gi Nagri here approached me with similar adulation[ST:n ]the day I took him in as an apprentice.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev051001_MSG0011 |
It seems we geniuses draw people to us merely by[ST:n ]existing. My every drawn breath is a spectacle![ST:n ]It is a heavy thing to bear.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev051001_MSG0012 |
The smithy's fire that burns within me is enough to[ST:n ]frighten even my fellow Wrothians.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev051001_MSG0013 |
It is wholly understandable that you should fear me.[ST:n ]And be speechless and awestruck. ...And envious.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev051001_MSG0014 |
But so be it! I shall allow you to aid me in achieving[ST:n ]my grand dream![ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev051001_MSG0015 |
I have spent these 40 years hammering steel in search[ST:n ]of an unbreakable sword.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev051001_MSG0016 |
A blade that would not melt if plunged in magma,[ST:n ]nor shatter if struck broadside by a shooting star.[ST:n ]As yet, it exists only in the visions of my mind.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev051001_MSG0017 |
But just think of such a thing existing in waking life![ST:n ]Is it not enough to set your heart to pounding?[ST:n ]To make your spirit sing?![ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev051001_MSG0018 |
Now, come! Take my hand, and let us forge this fated[ST:n ]blade together![ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev051001_MSG0019 |
And on the glorious day when the sword is born into[ST:n ]this world, you shall be rewarded handsomely.[ST:n ]For my word is solid as my steel.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev051001_MSG0020 |
Wonderful! From this moment forth, you are my anvil[ST:n ]and my hammer. You shall assist me body, heart,[ST:n ]and soul.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev051001_MSG0021 |
You will begin by asking the Ma-non blacksmith[ST:n ]Neraph what the hardest metal on Mira is.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev051001_MSG0022 |
She is learned, but meek. My overwhelming presence[ST:n ]terrifies her. Attempts to visit her have always ended[ST:n ]in her running away.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev051001_MSG0023 |
Ha ha ha! BUT! If an exceptionally average sort such[ST:n ]as you were to approach her, she is certain to receive[ST:n ]you with open, scrawny arms.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev051001_MSG0030 |
Neraph armors Skells. She is certain to know of Mira's[ST:n ]hardest steel.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev051001_MSG0031 |
She ought to be hiding in the shadows around here[ST:n ]somewhere—use any means necessary to extract this[ST:n ]information![ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev051001_MSG0032 |
Gi Nagri! Your smithing lacks passion![ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev051001_MSG0033 |
When you hammer a blade, you should be pounding[ST:n ]the sum of your life's experience into the steel![ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev051001_MSG0034 |
A flimsy resolve makes flimsy steel, boy.[ST:n ]Put the weight of your past behind each swing![ST:n ]Unleash the full brunt of your pain![ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev051001_MSG0035 |
Y-yes, sir! I was wrong, sir![ST:n ]I will try to be better at life in general, sir![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev051001_MSG0036 |
Yes. Good. Be better at life![ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev051001_MSG0037 |
...Hmm? What are you doing just standing there?[ST:n ]Have you also come to learn the art of the swordsmith?[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev051001_JNK0030 |
Confirm |
| 37 |
|
qev051001_SEL0031 |
Nod with your eyes sparkling eagerly. |
| 38 |
|
qev051001_JNK0040 |
Deny |
| 39 |
|
qev051001_SEL0041 |
Tell De Zing that you brought information[ST:n ]on hypersteel from Neraph. |
| 40 |
|
qev051001_MSG0038 |
Good! I knew you had the spark within you![ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev051001_MSG0039 |
But these skills are trade secrets. You will have to earn[ST:n ]them through hard work and commitment![ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev051001_MSG0040 |
...What is that? You learned how to smelt hypersteel[ST:n ]from Neraph?![ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev051001_MSG0041 |
Heh. Come now, human. No need to be shy.[ST:n ]The truth will set you free![ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev051001_MSG0042 |
Though I understand my raw genius inspires jealousy in[ST:n ]most. It is only natural you should reject me to preserve[ST:n ]your own fragile pride.[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev051001_MSG0043 |
Well, no matter. Let us hear the secret of smelting[ST:n ]hypersteel.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev051001_MSG0044 |
Hmm, yes... Yes, I see. Cimmerian cinnabar and[ST:n ]zagyrin cragstone. A fascinating alloy![ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev051001_MSG0045 |
Ha! Yes, I can see it now. Their properties together[ST:n ]would yield a blade that could cut through anything[ST:n ]without breaking![ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev051001_MSG0046 |
Good, [ST:playername ]! Next, you will need[ST:n ]to procure those materials.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev051001_MSG0047 |
In the meantime, I shall be here meditating on the half[ST:n ]a lifetime I have poured into smithing...[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev051001_MSG0048 |
I must be prepared to put my all into this steel once it[ST:n ]is ready. Even for a genius, this is no mean feat.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev051001_MSG0049 |
I have spent some 40 years searching with singular[ST:n ]focus for the perfect sword.[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev051001_MSG0050 |
Cimmerian cinnabar and zagyrin cragstone, [ST:Gender p1=man! p2=woman! ][ST:n ]Once you have brought them here, I will see my dream[ST:n ]realized by my own two hands![ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev051001_MSG0051 |
...So you have come.[ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev051001_MSG0052 |
Hmm... After plumbing the depths of my smithing soul,[ST:n ]I have reached the razor's edge of enlightenment.[ST:n ]Bring me those materials. My hammer is ready.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev051001_MSG0053 |
The unbreakable blade has ever eluded me,[ST:n ]as if it were shrouded in a dense mist.[ST:n ]But now, I have glimpsed its true form![ST:wait ] |
| 56 |
|
qev051001_MSG0054 |
This shall be a masterwork half a lifetime in the[ST:n ]making. I will forge the perfect sword in the fire[ST:n ]of my passion![ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev051001_JNK0050 |
Query |
| 58 |
|
qev051001_SEL0051 |
Ask to know more about De Zing's passion. |
| 59 |
|
qev051001_JNK0060 |
Demand |
| 60 |
|
qev051001_SEL0061 |
Tell De Zing that it's time you were paid for your work. |
| 61 |
|
qev051001_MSG0055 |
Curious, eh? Well, you have done much to help me.[ST:n ]I suppose you have earned that much...[ST:n ]Very well! I shall tell you—as a special treat.[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev051001_MSG0056 |
I am driven by a motive complex in its simplicity...[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev051001_MSG0057 |
I think swords are AWESOME! Especially when[ST:n ]people fight with two at once. That is the best.[ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev051001_MSG0058 |
So I will need to make a second unbreakable sword in[ST:n ]the fullness of time. Then I can start thinking up special[ST:n ]moves and what to call them.[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev051001_MSG0059 |
...What? Why that look? Surely you do not mean to[ST:n ]make light of the passion that has driven a 40-year[ST:n ]career?[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev051001_MSG0060 |
...No? You just want to be paid already?[ST:n ]Hmm... Well, I suppose that was the bargain.[ST:n ]Fair enough.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev051001_MSG0061 |
Hmm... Well, I suppose that was the bargain.[ST:n ]Fair enough.[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev051001_MSG0062 |
The only problem is that I am utterly broke. I have been[ST:n ]more or less a hermit all these years. Swordsmithing is[ST:n ]more a personal quest than a solvent business.[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev051001_MSG0063 |
But that is not to say I deceived you. As soon as I have[ST:n ]made the unbreakable sword, I will be unstoppable![ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev051001_MSG0064 |
All the beasts of Cauldros will fall before me![ST:n ]I will earn enough to pay you in no time at all.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev051001_MSG0065 |
So! Gi Nagri, prepare the forge at once![ST:n ]There is work to be done![ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev051001_MSG0066 |
Yes, sir! At long last, we will give physical form to[ST:n ]your dream![ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev051001_MSG0067 |
The unbreakable blade... We embark on the creation of[ST:n ]the awesomest sword ever forged![ST:wait ] |
