Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Skittish Mord: You there! Kind traveler, strong traveler! The younglings are in danger!
Skittish Mord: Big, scary creatures! They looked hungry, too!
Skittish Mord: Please, you must hurry to Samiel's Backbone, east from here! Quickly, there is no time!
(Optional)
Skittish Mord: You do not know Samiel's Backbone!? Just go east, then! 

Aiding the Mord

Foolhardy Mord: Do not eat me! Mord fur very hard to swallow, I hear! Tickle your belly, it will!
Foolhardy Mord: We are...not dead? Oh, you saved us, that is why! A thousand thousand thank-yous!

Irrational Mord: Great samiel, we are truly sorry!
Irrational Mord: I never thought I would be so happy to not be dead! Many thanks, stranger! 

Optional

Foolhardy Mord: I have never been eaten alive before, but I do not imagine it is very pleasant.

Irrational Mord: If you had not rescued us, we would be in the belly of a beast, and probably not in one piece, either.

Reporting to the skittish Mord

Skittish Mord: You did it! These two have a lot to answer for, though.
Skittish Mord: You see, those bones once belonged to a mighty samiel, whose ghost still roams the plains! A lot of silly younglings go there to prove their bravery. But there are things much more dangerous than wandering spirits, oh yes!

Foolhardy Mord: I wish it was a ghost we had met instead of those horrible brutes! We will not be going back there any time soon!

Irrational Mord: Speak for yourself! I was hoping to meet the great samiel, so I want to try it again. And I will not have the others calling me a coward for running away!

Skittish Mord: To tell the truth, I did exactly the same thing when I was their age. It is something of a tradition!
Skittish Mord: This is one of the ways we learn to fear and respect the desert, but also how we find the courage to face its many dangers. Though on this occasion, I think we would be two younglings short of a village were it not for you! Mord Souq thanks you, traveler!
