1 qev051001_MSG0001 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 ]
9 qev051001_JNK0010 Engage
10 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 ]
