Dialogue

Starting event

Ekto Can you feel it? The barrier between our world and the Mists is thin here. Wayfinder, can you use the Heart of the Obscure to investigate?

Let's solve the mystery together!

I've dealt with enough ghosts for one lifetime.

Event start

Ekto: The tingle in my ears. The shivers down my spine. The chill on my breath. It's all unmistakable. There are ghosts afoot!

Ekto: Unfortunately, my equipment can broadly detect their presence, but it can't draw them out...

Ekto: That's where you come in, Wayfinder. I posit that your Heart of the Obscure may be just the thing we need!

Ekto: Scan around for any suspicious activitiy, will you? For science!

When the player investigates a paranormal activity and its spawning foes.

Ekto: Found you!

Ekto: Ghost detected!

Ekto: There's one!

Ekto: Alchemy, that startled me!

Ekto: Jackpot! I mean....Er, watch out!

When the player investigates a paranormal activity and its spawning friendlies.

Ekto: Ugh. False Alarm.

Ekto: Nothing paranormal about that activity.

Ekto: Ah, go on. Shoo!

Close to the end of the Event

Ekto: My readings are fading. We must hurry!

Upon success

Ekto: That's the last of them! Excellent!

Ekto: Not only was my equipment's efficacy proven, but we also exorcised a few spiteful spirits.

Ekto: That's a resounding success, in my book! Now the fun part: data analysis!

Ekto: Janthir is full of secrets and mysteries, but very few have this sort of access. Not the most...hospitable place.

Upon failure

Ekto: Gah! All activity has dissipated. They got away...

Ekto: Ah, well. Time to analyze my findings. Not all is lost. I'm seeing human, kodan, charr, and mursaat readings. Oof.

Ekto: Janthir is full of secrets and mysteries, but very few have this sort of access. Not the most...hospitable place.
