Dialogue[edit]

During the event
Balint the Tinkerer: This is quite a trek, isn't it? 'Course, we've got to save the captain, so keep moving.
Balint the Tinkerer: Almost there. Just a bit further. Hurry it up, will you?"
Near Piketooth Tower
Ash Legion Spy: What are you up to all the way out here, Balint?
Balint the Tinkerer: I'm trying to help rescue Navalia by attracting a giant devourer. I just need to build the attractor.
Ash Legion Spy: I'll lend a hand. Go see if you can find any volunteers.
Ash Legion Scout: I'll try over at Shadow Cleft. Someone over there might be willing to help.
At the tower
Balint the Tinkerer: That should just about do it.
Balint the Tinkerer: Did I mention that the attractor has a nasty habit of drawing the attention of angry critters?
Balint the Tinkerer: Oh, and Flame Legion. It's like they can hear it from a mile away. Keep it safe until we get a giant devourer to show up.
While defending attractor
Balint the Tinkerer: They don't stop, do they? Keep holding off the hostile ones. We'll get a giant devourer soon. I can smell it.
Event almost finished
Balint the Tinkerer: There we go. Just keep it safe for a second longer.
Event success
Balint the Tinkerer: Woah! That's a mighty one. Should be plenty big enough to show the Flame Legion what for.
Balint the Tinkerer: I must say, I'm pretty proud of myself. Go take out those effigies, and we'll save the day.
