Dialogue

I've been traveling throughout Tyria, gathering tales to share. I could regale you with one or three—if you'd like. Which topic would you prefer: bravery, foolishness, or freedom?

Bravery.

There were once two asura traveling together from Rata Sum. As they walked, they spotted a krewe of Inquest coming towards them. One of the travelers ran into the bushes to hide.

And the other one?

The other traveler remained and waited for the Inquest to approach. They spoke to him, but seeing no threat, passed him by. When they were gone, the hider returned.

And?

He asked his friend what the Inquest had said. The brave traveler told his companion, "They advised me to never trust anyone who deserts you when you need them the most."

Tell me another.

Very well. Choose your topic. (returns to the choice)

Well told.

I need to go.

I need to go.

Foolishness.

There once was a clever bandit who devised a scheme to waylay travelers upon the road. He entered a nearby cave, and from within, yelled for help.

I assume his scheme worked?

Yes. Nobles and scholars passing the cave felt pity for the poor soul trapped in the cave. But when they entered to help, the thief killed them and took all their possessions.

And?

One day, the town fool passed by, and he too heard the bandit's cries. He called into the cave, "Stay there! I'll help you!" But, he ran back to town instead.

Why did he do that?

He returned with guards who discovered the thief and his victims. The bandit asked the fool how he knew. The fool replied that he had seen many footprints going in, but none coming out.

Tell me another.

Very well. Choose your topic. (returns to the choice)

Not such a fool after all.

I need to go.

I need to go.

I need to go.

Freedom.

There was once a human Seraph drinking the finest ale in a tavern in Divinity's Reach. A scruffy mercenary entered and sat down beside her. The barkeep asked what he desired.

What did he say?

The scruffy mercenary asked for a small glass of the cheapest draught. Upon hearing this, the Seraph felt pity for the man and offered to take him to the Seraph captain to see about a job.

What did the mercenary do?

He went along, and the Seraph captain offered him a position. But, when the captain placed a contract before him, the mercenary asked what it meant.

And?

The captain explained that it was an oath of fealty to the queen. At this, the mercenary got up and left, telling the captain "I'd rather drink swill and live free, than drink fine wine as a slave."

Tell me another.

Very well. Choose your topic. (returns to the choice)

An interesting point of view.

I need to go.

I need to go.

I need to go.

I'm not in the mood.
