Dialogue
Optional dialogue
The bag is sealed tight, but I'd rather not keep the bees buzzing about in there longer than we have to.
Accepting the quest
The Children's settlement is to the west, a place they call Woven Oath.
According to the guard, there is an airway apart from the entrance which leads to the spiders' nests.
If the fates are kind, the way will be clear.
Optional dialogue
We should move quickly, before any of the Children arrive.
Speaking with Y'shtola
Start of cutscene. Up there is the airway. Do you see it?
A bit far, perhaps, but we should be able to toss the bag through.
Though we should probably loosen the ropes keeping it closed. Enough that it falls open when it lands inside.
May I do the honors?
That should do it. Now we wait...
Villager of the Everlasting Dark
What is that!?
By the abyss, they're everywhere!
Help! Someone help! We have to save the spiders!
It sounds like our plan is working.
Still, it is quite likely not all were drawn away from their posts.
If you should come to blows with the Children, I'll see to it any signs of struggle are concealed. Failing that, I'll create a distraction to buy Y'shtola more time.
Should anyone get past me, it falls to you to guard her.
Your concern is appreciated, but I sincerely doubt it will come to that.
Why do I get the feeling you enjoy the idea of my loafing about bored in the shadows?
Come now, Thancred. The shadows are a fitting place for a Warrior of Darkness. Now, if you both are ready?
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Go on. I'll be right behind you.
Speaking with Y'shtola
The Font of Seeing suggests this is a chamber for prayer. At the very least, they would not place this near potential distractions from their worship.
Perhaps the monument is further in.
Speaking with Y'shtola
Start of cutscene. Yes, this is it.
I will be but a moment. Keep watch of the entryway.
On second thought, would you mind examining the murals on these walls while I look over this?
At a glance, I can tell they are old. Predating the founding of the Blessed and the Children, in fact.
We're not like to come here a second time. 'Twould behoove us to learn all that we can.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Hmmm... Then what does this mean...?
Standing at the destination and examining the murals
Examine the murals and take note of what events they may depict. You may move the camera as well as zome in and out. Target a mural and examine it with /RT/A.
Start of cutscene.Observe the Murals!
Y'shtola has asked you to inspect the murals on the wall. See if there is aught you can learn from them while she inspects the monolith.
Ronkan Mural
The mural appears to be very old. A ruler sits atop a throne, attended by their subjects.
Faded Mural
The mural appears to be fairly old. A knight shields himself and their comrades from an encroaching darkness. The central figure is considerably faded.
Primitive Mural
The mural appears to be ancient. A warrior in the middle stands triumphant over what appears to be a creature of shadow. Other figures surround the warrior rejoicing in their victory.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
If the player quits before examining all the murals.
There is nothing to gain from staring at my backside. Now please, I need to concentrate.
Start of voiced cutscene. These paintings...they seem familiar. Depictions of heroes throughout history. The age of gods... The empire of Ronka... And this...
There was a man. A researcher who pored over these pieces...
He offered us work when we needed it. Slaying beasts, delivering provisions... A funny old bugger, he was, but he had a good heart.
He believed this first painting dated back to a time of myth and legends. A tribute to the heroes of a long-forgotten era.
The story went that it was rediscovered by an explorer from Ronka, who was so struck by its majesty that a second painting was commissioned, commemorating the heroes of their day.
"One day, you will all be here too,“ he said. ”Heroes immortalized forever. Maybe I'll paint you myself!“
I had a good laugh at that. We were only trying to make our way, after all. Being heroes couldn't have been further from our minds.
But it seems...he actually went and did it. Before or after the Flood, I wonder...
Rather faded, isn't it, compared to the others. Or did someone try to scrape it off the wall? Maybe the man himself, once he came to his senses...
Do you suppose your deeds will warrant an addition to this collection? Or some other kind of monument?
There you are. I have everything I need. Let us quit this place.
Is something the matter? We should go. The others are waiting.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Good to see my distraction proved successful.
Speaking with Y'shtola
I believe I now have everything needed to finish deciphering the tablet.
Tell me, Forename, did the murals appear to be of any significance?
Depictions of heroes? From the age of gods, the Ronkan Empire, and immediately before the Flood.
Very astute observations. Perhaps in another lifetime you could be a curator of antiquities.
Though it has no bearing on the task at hand, perhaps that knowledge may prove to be of use in the future.
