Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Kewshs Ooan: So ssstrange it is to see finless ones in our realm. But since you are here, perhaps you can offer us aid?
Kewshs Ooan: A ssspearfisher of ours has been away for some time. Too long by half. I fear he may be ssstruggling in this newly waterless world of ours. You, however, thrive in such environments. If he is injured or worse, then I should be grateful if you would go and render aid.
Kewshs Ooan: Forgive me this sudden request, but I must ask that you search for him north of the Norvrandt Slope.
(Optional)
Kewshs Ooan: The ssspearfisher I worry for has yet to return. If you would go forth and sssearch for him north of the Norvrandt Slope, I would be most grateful.

Searching for and aiding the Ondo spearfisher

Ondo Spearfisher: <pant> <pant> <huff> <huff>
Thieving ssscoundrels...
Ondo Spearfisher: Huh? Where did you come from, finless one?
Ondo Spearfisher: Kewshs Ooan sent you? Ah, how embarrassing... I am present and accounted for, as you can well see. However, the foodstuffs I had procured are not. A wily miscreant sssnatched them from my grasp not long before you arrived.
Ondo Spearfisher: I speak of those Ondo who refuse to treat with outsiders. They number many, and will not hesitate to sssteal and murder if it suits them. Until I catch more game to make up for that which was lost, I dare not return home...
Ondo Spearfisher: Take that which I still have back with you to Kewshs Ooan and tell him of my plight. My thanks to you, finless one.
(Optional)
Ondo Spearfisher: I cannot return to the Cups without sssufficient game. Give Kewshs Ooan that meager offering and tell him we shall speak anon.

Delivering the meager bounty to Kewshs Ooan

Kewshs Ooan: You are returned, but alone? What of our spearfisher? What has become of him?
<Hand Over Meager Bounty>
Kewshs Ooan: Waylaid by thieves? That is unfortunate. But I am glad to hear he is unharmed, and that he managed to retain a portion of his catch.
Kewshs Ooan: Do not mistake our misguided brethren for black-hearted villains. They but struggle to sssurvive in our changing realm, and I remain hopeful that one day they may see the error of their ways.
Kewshs Ooan: We have all lost much in the wake of the Flood. Ondo and finless ones both. Yet we dare not let our loss define us or lead us unto wicked ways.
Kewshs Ooan: You too have overcome much hardship in your life, have you not? But you have not been broken by the weight. Stay ssstrong, friend, and accept this with my thanks.
