When krewes are preparing golems

(If Defend the etheropods and defeat breeze riders for Bluz event is active)

Tell me about Hydrone Unit.

Hydrone works on their water-powered golems just north of the arena. Try to hurry them up, if you go over there.

Good-bye.

(If Help Chott collect opals for a prototype golem weapon event is active)

Tell me about Incinergen Labs.

I've heard they ready their fire-fueled golems near Wildflame Caverns. I bet you could still catch up with them.

Okay.

(If Defend the RCK-7550 golem as it stores energy event is active)

Tell me about Terranexic.

The Terranexic's krewe's lab is in Soren Draa, but they prepare their golem near the arena. They imbue it with energy generated beneath the ground. It really gets this place shaking!

Great.

(If Defend AER-0000 from Inquest as it gathers energy from Storm Cloud Generators event is active)

Tell me about Aeronotics Lab.

The Aeronotics krewe works alongside the Opticalum krewe, researching lightning energy. Their worksite is just past the Splorg Metamystics Lab. Their golem is absolutely electrifying in the arena.

I see.

Tell me about this place.

This is Battleground Plaza, where up-and-coming golemancers have their their[sic] mechanical creations duke it out. Golem VS. Golem! Krewes fight day and night to prove they're superior golemancers.

The krewes fight here? How?

Each krewe brings its finest golem to battle in the arena. Whichever golem is still standing at fight's end is declared the victor. That krewe also wins the title of "superior golemancer!"

Which krewes are involved in this?

Our regular contenders are Incinergen Labs, Aeronotics, Hydrone Unit, and Terranexic. Each krewe augments its golem with its own special power source. That's what makes these fights so interesting.

What does Incinergen use?

Incinergen's golemancers imbue their machines with fire's destructive power.

What does Hydrone use? (See below)

What does Terranexic use? (See below)

What doe Aeronotics use? (See below)

Great. See you later.

What does Hydrone Unit use?

Golems crafted by Hydrone wield the stormy power of water.

What does Incinergen use? (See above)

What does Terranexic use? (See below)

What doe Aeronotics use? (See below)

What doe Aeronotics use?

The Aeronotics golem has been modified to consume lightning energy. Gives me shivers.

What does Incinergen use? (See above)

What does Hydrone use? (See above)

What doe Terranexic use? (See below)

I see. Good-bye.

What does Terranexic use?

What does Incinergen use? (See above)

What does Hydrone use? (See above)

What doe Aeronotics use? (See above)

The Terranexic krewe imbues its golem with energy absorbed from beneath the very ground on which you're standing.

Good-bye.

Thanks for the information. Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

All right.
