Journal
- Konogg would attend to simpler matters before embarking on any further missions relating to unfathomable technology and the applications thereof.
- You consult with Konogg, who mentions that he would like to check on the other villagers─a perfectly reasonable idea, given that if they are fine, they will have ale, and if not, they will need help. Even Anogg agrees to go, but before any of you can move a single step, raucous noise emanates from outside the door.
- The door opens to reveal quite a few dwarves of Komra present and not in the best of moods. Due to eyewitness accounts of a not entirely inaccurate but nevertheless incomplete nature, it seems that many have concluded Anogg and Konogg to be the source of the chaos. With tempers running high, it is impossible for the siblings to get a word in edgeways about their motivations or the dangers that remain, and thus Konogg begs you to explain the situation to the village elder in their stead.
- It transpires that the elder, Glagg, is keen to get proper grasp of the circumstances surrounding the disaster himself─though like the other villagers, he is fixated on apportioning blame to the exclusion of all else. Perhaps if you assist him in reconciling the villagers' differing perspectives, he will be more inclined to listen to your side of the story.
- As you speak to the villagers, it immediately becomes clear why Glagg is having difficulty deriving a coherent conclusion from their disparate─and in some cases melodramatic─assertions. Hopefully your explanation can add some sense to the mix.
- You speak with Glagg, who is completely unsurprised by his people's unhelpfulness. In a last-ditch effort to weed out those who simply like yelling from those with actual knowledge of the situation, he asks for a show of hands. Alas, this directive too goes unheeded.
- Finally having given up on making heads or tails of what the villagers have to say, Glagg turns to you for a conclusive verdict on who is at fault for this incident, at last providing you the opportunity to present your perspective. However, before he can announce said results to the people at large, he is interrupted by Anogg─who is in turn interrupted by 2B, whose sudden and menacing appearance sends the other dwarves fleeing in terror. Though she ostensibly merely found the argument over blame to be as pointless as it in fact was, Konogg has a sneaking suspicion that she intervened out of concern for the twins' welfare.
- Given the kindness that she has shown him and his sister, Konogg feels it only right that he thank 2B. Presumably she may be found back at the bedside of her inert comrade.
- You enter Anogg's hideaway to find Konogg attempting to convince 2B to come with him and speak with the villagers, concerned that as things stand, they will be unable to accept that 2B is on their side. She dismisses this as of no import, and without further ado hoists 9S over her shoulder and leaves─presumably to continue her campaign against the machines. Konogg worries for her, but also for Anogg, who was still racked with guilt when last you saw her.
- You and Konogg proceed to the workspace where Anogg may usually be found, but she is nowhere to be seen. Panicking at the thought of his sister alone and at the mercy of angry villagers and hostile machines, Konogg implores you to search the area around Komra for any sign of her.
- On your search for suitable brooding spots, you climb a ridge overlooking the path to the village. Alas, Anogg is not there, nor anywhere in view.
- You continue further afield to a contemplative sort of clifftop, but again you are disappointed.
- Having glimpsed neither helm nor beard of Anogg elsewhere, you finally make your way to the Dwarven Hollows. Sadly, you discover that Anogg has not, in fact, decided to stop in the middle of a knocker-infested cave for a spot of soul-searching.
- For want of ideas, you return to Komra to consult Konogg. You find that he has had no better luck in finding his sister, and his spirits are much the worse off for it. Where can she possibly have gone?
Dialogue
Optional
Pod: ...
Anogg: I didn't think... I didn't think...
2B: 9S...
9S: ...
Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)
Konogg: Come to think of it, none of us ever did get the chance to enjoy the carnival. Konogg: It's possible everyone is still carrying on with it─I've never known a few explosions to dampen their spirits before. Still, I might go and check on them. Konogg: Coming, Anogg?
Anogg: ...Fine.
Konogg: What's all that noise?
Anogg: I suppose there's only one way to find out...
Optional
2B: It's loud.
Xologg: <wail> My food, my beautiful food!
Gesugg: Did you see those flying things!? I'd love to take a wrench to one of those.
Xomogg: When I get my hands on those things what blasted us...
Proud Miner: Rumors aside, we haven't seen any treasure aside from glorified scrap metal come out of that accursed machine graveyard. With the village in this state, though, I wouldn't say no to some of that. Maybe I'll see what I can dig up.
Paranoid Miner: I'll admit, I had a lot of theories─untapped veins, hidden treasure, secret Tholl-made volcanoes designed to erupt in unison and wipe out all life aside from their automaton army─but hostile flying machines from beneath the mountain wasn't one of them!
Orugg: Honestly, I think I would've preferred the Tholl infiltration to this.
Dig Site Watch: And after we worked so hard... Hard as we ever work, at any rate.
Missus Dig Site Chief: I have some choice words for those things that destroyed all of our lovely decorations...the husband doesn't like it when I use most of them, though. He has delicate sensibilities.
Anogg: P-Please, we didn't mean for any of this to happen!
Glagg: Will you all shut─ Oh. Beg your pardon. Bit preoccupied with my duties at the moment.
Dig Site Chief: This is what I was afraid of.
Dour Dwarf: Always knew those brats were up to something...
Decisive Dwarf: The village is in shambles! My house may as well be a pile of kindling!
Doomsaying Dwarf: Didn't like that. Did not like that at all, no [ma'am/sir].
Demanding Dwarf: Them things came from right here! Saw it with my own two eyes, and that's that! I swear it on my granddad's grave!
Dismayed Dwarf: Why me!?
Speaking with Konogg
Konogg: Please, calm down! It's a complicated situation, and even we are not fully─
Demanding Dwarf: >> We ain't here for your excuses! Just admit it─ This is all your fault! << Demanding Dwarf: >> You let those things in through the tunnels! They knew you. And look what they did to the place! << Demanding Dwarf: >> We don't care about the whys and wherefores. We want to know how you plan to make amends! <<
Konogg: We'll do everything we can, I swear! But... Konogg: <sigh> I don't think this is going anywhere good. The village is still in danger! Konogg: No one wants to hear it from me, though... Please, can you speak to Elder Glagg and make him understand?
Optional
Anogg: Please...
Konogg: We never meant for any of this to happen!
Speaking with Glagg
Glagg: And who might you be? Haven't seen your face around here before. Or...have I? I misplaced my spectacles some time ago. Glagg: No matter. I'm here to investigate, not conversate. As the eldest elder, it falls to me to determine the truth of the rumors surroundin' this disaster. Glagg: The problem bein', of course, that everyone here is stubborn as a diamond ingot! They all insist they know what's true, though you can be sure half of them are up to their eyeballs in ale at any given time. Glagg: I need a second opinion. A sober opinion. Here, let me smell your breath. Glagg: <sniff> You'll do. Speak with the villagers, and think well on who has the right of it. Then I'll hear what you have to say.
Optional
Anogg: I'm so sorry...
Konogg: I apologize for involving you in this nonsense on top of everything else...
Glagg: Blasted youth... No respect for proper procedure...
Speaking with Komra's residents
Dig Site Chief: Lali-I knew we'd end up here someday-ho. Dig Site Chief: It's hard to know where to place the blame.
(If did Anogg's plan) Dig Site Chief: I understand why you followed along with Anogg's plan, but if you all had been just a little more careful...
(If did Konogg's plan) Dig Site Chief: I understand why you followed along with Konogg's plan, but if you all had been quicker to deal with the threat...
(Optional) Dig Site Chief: I just don't know. Maybe the fault is mine.
Dour Dwarf: You... You're the collaborator. Well, don't think you can come crying to me now that it's all gone wrong.
(If did Anogg's plan) Dour Dwarf: It's plain as day that Anogg's the type to charge ahead without a care for who she might be getting mixed up in her troubles. And her brother ain't much better.
(If did Konogg's plan) Dour Dwarf: It's plain as day that Konogg's not one for straightforward solutions. And his sister ain't much better, with her flights of fancy.
(Optional) Dour Dwarf: They don't have a bit of sense between the two of them, nor any respect for the village, neither. This would never have happened if it weren't for their meddling!
Decisive Dwarf: Anogg could've saved us from those things, I just know it. There ain't no way a clever girl like her wouldn't have found a way to fight 'em. If only that brother of hers weren't always holding her back...
(If did Anogg's plan) Decisive Dwarf: Wait...you're that outsider, ain't you? Decisive Dwarf: Don't worry─I don't blame you. I can see you're the sort what knows how to take control of a situation. I'm sure you supported Anogg as best you could.
(If did Konogg's plan) Decisive Dwarf: You ain't from around here, but trust me─Konogg's been making his problems Anogg's problems since they were little. It's a shame, too, because she's a real visionary. Decisive Dwarf: If she'd had her way, she would've found out what was going on and how to put an end to it before those machines could make a beep!
(Optional) Decisive Dwarf: If it weren't for Konogg, I'd be enjoying a nice ale in front of my intact house right about now...
Doomsaying Dwarf: You want to know what I think? We're doomed! Doooooomed! (Optional) Doomsaying Dwarf: Doooooom!
Demanding Dwarf: I didn't do it! Demanding Dwarf: Oh, Anogg and Konogg, you say? Yes, they did do it. It was them!
(If did Anogg's plan) Demanding Dwarf: And you... I heard you followed Anogg into the machine graveyard. Heard it with my own two ears, I did! Everyone knows it, too, so you'd better be prepared to pay!
(If did Konogg's plan) Demanding Dwarf: And you... I heard you followed Konogg into the machine graveyard. Heard it with my own two ears, I did! Everyone knows it, too, so you'd better be prepared to pay!
(Optional) Demanding Dwarf: I didn't know about any of this! You can't prove I did!
Dismayed Dwarf: This'll be Anogg's fault, you hear? That girl never had an onze of prudence. If only she were more like her brother...
(If did Anogg's plan) Dismayed Dwarf: She ought to have left that machine graveyard well enough alone! But she insisted on barging in anyway, heedless of all danger. Dismayed Dwarf: That's what happened, mark my words! And Anogg had better answer for it.
(If did Konogg's plan) Dismayed Dwarf: Konogg told her to be cautious─mark my words! And she ought to have heeded him. Dismayed Dwarf: I can see from the look in your eye that you agree. I only hope Konogg doesn't end up answering for his sister's folly.
(Optional) Dismayed Dwarf: That Anogg...
Optional
Anogg: ...
Konogg: Were we...that wrong? Didn't we try our hardest?
Speaking with Glagg
Glagg: So the fools still can't agree on which way is up. Wish I was surprised. Glagg: Let's try puttin' it to a vote, eh? Maybe the ones pretendin' to know more about the matter than they really do will think twice about makin' arses of themselves so publicly.
Cutscene
Glagg: >> Can't none of you stitch your beards for half a moment!? I'm askin' you to raise your hands in an orderly fashion! << Glagg: This is hopeless. We're not gettin' anything useful from them. Glagg: I'm not ruling out that one of these idiots accidentally has the right of it, but... In your sober judgment, who's to blame? Glagg: If you still ain't sure, you can try talkin' to everyone again...though I can't say I recommend it. Glagg: Just make sure you don't take any detours past the ale casks until this is settled.
Optional
Dig Site Chief: It's important to hear people out, don't get me wrong─but they do have a tendency to oversimplify. And yell. Loudly.
Dour Dwarf: I don't know how to make it any plainer─Anogg and Konogg are to blame here. Fools, the both of them.
Decisive Dwarf: This is what dithering and dragging your feet gets you, I tell you! Ain't no one to blame but Konogg for it.
Doomsaying Dwarf: We're all done for...
Demanding Dwarf: I haven't said anything we don't all know already! So don't even think about trying to pin this on me!
Dismayed Dwarf: Only Anogg would be so reckless as to bring the whole village crashing down around our ears!
Speaking with Glagg again
Glagg: <sniff> Still passably sober, I see. Have you come to a conclusion?
< What will you say? > < It's Anogg's fault. > < It's Konogg's fault. > < Both Anogg and Konogg are to blame. > < It's complicated. > < You're all doomed! Doooooomed! > < I haven't decided yet. >
< I haven't decided yet. > Glagg: Take your time. I'll be keepin' an eye on this lot. (Conversation Ends)
< Any other dialogue option > Glagg: Interestin'. I'll take that under advisement.
Cutscene
Glagg: Ahem! Everyone, I stand before you to present my findin's regardin' culpability in the destruction that has befallen our village...
Anogg: Please, wait! It's m─
2B: As I've said, blaming yourselves is pointless. This is my doing.
Undiscerning Dwarf: It's one of them! Run! Run for your lives!
Konogg: Are you...defending us?
2B: There's no benefit to petty arguments.
Konogg: W-Wait! She says that...but I think it was kind of her to intervene.
Optional
Dig Site Chief: I'll try speaking to the others─see if I can't get them to understand that there's more going on here than it appears.
Anogg: ...
Speaking with Konogg
Konogg: I'm sure she went to check on her friend─that other android, 9S. I'm going to go and talk to her.
(Optional) 2B: It's pointless to fight your own.
Speaking with Konogg again (Cutscene)
Konogg: I appreciate your stepping in─but I don't want everyone to see you as the enemy. If we go and talk to them now, we can explain...
2B: That's not necessary. I'm leaving anyway. 2B: This is not over. For us, or the machines.
Konogg: What are you thinking, 2B... Konogg: I'm worried for Anogg, as well. She hasn't been herself since...well. Konogg: If she's not here, she's probably drowning herself in work. Come on─we should check on her.
Speaking with Konogg yet again
Konogg: She's not here! What is she doing!? This isn't the time to be outside alone! Konogg: We need to find her! I'll look around the village, but...can you search the outskirts? Konogg: Oh, Anogg...
Optional
Glagg: I'm too old for this...
Dour Dwarf: We ain't letting those brats get away with this just because some lady with a sword says so, are we?
Decisive Dwarf: Konogg had best find a way to fix this, if you ask me.
Doomsaying Dwarf: Stitch your beards so I can tell you about the doom!
Demanding Dwarf: I want to see some punishment! With my own two eyes!
Dismayed Dwarf: Where did that Anogg run off to now?
Surveying the destination for signs of Anogg
System: You see no sign of your despondent dwarven friend. Perhaps she wandered further afield...
Surveying the next destination for signs of Anogg
System: You see no sign of your despondent dwarven friend. Perhaps she wandered further afield...
Surveying the final destination for signs of Anogg
System: Though you have searched all of the likely places, Anogg is not to be found. Perhaps Konogg has some additional ideas...
Speaking with Konogg (Cutscene)
Konogg: Anogg isn't with you? Konogg: ...What do I do? This is all because of us, and I... Konogg: I don't know how to find her. Konogg: I'm...not used to being alone...
