Dialogue

Ahai. Were you sent out here by Steward Gixx to join our survey expedition?

I wasn't sent by Gixx. What have you three learned about this place so far?

This region was the focus of my scholarly research, though it's another thing entirely to be here in person. What can I answer for you?

What do you know about Dry Top?

These arid wastes eventually give way to the Maguuma Jungle, which we're hoping to reach on our mission. It looks as if there's been a great deal of seismic upheaval since this area was more traveled.

I saw you sketching that tree in your journal. Can you tell me anything about the local flora and fauna?

Everything here seems as harsh as the climate. We've seen nasty elementals that the locals call dust mites buzzing around in the sandstorms. There's also a local type of devourer worth avoiding.

Can I ask you something else?

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the information.

What do you make of the tendrils that tore our passage open to this region?

I have a theory that they're reaching all the way from the Maguuma Jungle, but I have no idea what could be driving them to attack. They're certainly disturbing.

What do you know about Dry Top? (Same as above)

I saw you sketching that tree in your journal. Can you tell me anything about the local flora and fauna? (Same as above)

Thanks for the information.

Wait—how did you three manage to get up here ahead of me?

I was just about to ask how you got up here. We used Zephyrite Aspect skills to climb the cliffs, but our footholds broke off behind us.

Sounds like you were lucky. Good-bye.

Maybe later.

If human:

That's an old Elonan greeting, right? Are you from the Ossan Quarter, back in the Reach?

That's right. My ancestors fled Kourna generations ago. Growing up with all the old family tales of our lost estate inspired my lifelong interest in ancient history.

What do you know about this place? (Same as "What do you know about Dry Top?" above)

That's understandable. Thanks for your time.

Sorry, I don't have time to chat right now.
