Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Ess Khas: Your fight with the younglings was impressive. I watched closely, and your power intrigues me.
Ess Khas: Do battle with me, that the younglings may see more of proper battle. I am certain Kohm Khur will observe, and learn from our example.

Optional Dialogue

Ess Khas: Let us teach the younglings what it means to do battle. Kohm Khur will pass word of what transpires.

Speaking with Kohm Khur, then prepare for battle

Kohm Khur: I have never seen Father so excited. I pray you are ready.

Speaking with Kohm Khur

Kohm Khur: To think you could even defeat our father. I'm sorry to have doubted your strength before. Will you take him this scale? He's likely returned to the tower to rest.

Optional Dialogue

Kohm Khur: To think our father could be defeated. I see now I have much to learn. Please, take this scale to him. I suspect he's resting in the tower.

Delivering Kohm Khur's scale to Ess Khas

Ess Khas: You fought well. I expected nothing less.
<Handing Over Kohm Khur's Scale>
Ess Khas: Ah, a scale from Kohm Khur. How thoughtful. The magicks within our scale can grant healing. It seems our battle gave him cause to worry, but it was most invigorating.
Ess Khas: Clashing claw with steel, matching wits with a worthy opponent. It reminds me of days long past, dueling with knights for sport. The thrill of combat is not easily forgotten.
