Dialogue

Section 1

Initial dialogue with Zizel

Wayfinder, I've a favor to ask. Vass cared for all things natural, both flora and fauna. We can't favor one over the other. To that end, I've undertaken my masterwork.

Interesting. What is it?

It's a potion, of course. One that, once imbibed, gives the consumer some limited ability to speak to animals. If they are willing, of course.

What do you need from me?

I'm sorry, Zizel. I don't have time.

Sorry, Zizel. I don't have time.

Zizel: It is exquisitely complex, you see. To accommodate the vast differences in the way creatures communicate...

Zizel: ...this very experimental potion, ah...fines-tunes, let's say, the vocal cords based on visual and olfactory input.

Zizel: It has to adapt to the biology of all known sapient species of the ward, which, as you know, is quite diverse.

Zizel: I started small. With ants. Brilliant conversationalists. But I digress. It's ready for a real-world trial, you see.

Zizel: It's likely safe to consume, that much I can guarantee. But the broader ramifications of it cannot be overstated.

Zizel: Therefore, I've purposefully limited its duration and range—it will only work on some of the creatures within Janthir.

Zizel: Beware that to some creatures, you will merely appear as prey. To others, competition for resources.

Zizel: And some are nonverbal—the potion cannot simulate scent or other forms of communication. Yet!

Zizel: Is this all quite clear? Good. Now, there is a feline hiding in Moon Camp; why not start by having a chat with him?

With Snuggling Stone

(yawns) What do we have here? You don't smell like the others. Who are you, and why do you bother me?

I'm a friend. I'm helping the others here learn more about animals.

Well. Here's lesson one: We cats do not have "friends". We have serfs.

I see... Well in that case, is there anything you need, my lord?

I have my rock, warmed by the sun. I am quite content for the moment. Though there is someone in the nearby village who may interest you—a feline of some renown. Have you heard of Ms. Jeeves?

Miss...Jeeves?

You've not heard of Ms. Jeeves? She is extraordinary! Once, she impersonated Chauncey von Snuffles III himself and made off with the Faren family's famous fur rug! She's an absolute legend!

Huh. I see.

I'm sure you don't. She pilfered the leg of Joko's favorite chair to use as a scratching post. She left a hairball on Ihn's throne. She bested a horde of skritt in the sewers of Lion's Arch with one paw—

Okay, you've made your point. Where can I find this Ms. Jeeves?

Rumor has it she is sniffing around the village. Perhaps one of the locals has seen her. I suggest you inquire with them. Now if you'll excuse me, I must return to my napping. Run along now. Good day.

Good day. I should go check back in with Zizel...

Enjoy your rock. I'll be back.

Enjoy your rock. I'll be back.

Enjoy your rock. I'll be back.

Enjoy your rock. I'll be back.

Enjoy your rock. I'll be back.

Returning to Zizel

Wayfinder, how goes the test? Were you able to speak to the cat?

I was. And he was...not shy.

Any ill effects? Vertical pupils? Hairballs? An uncontrollable urge to clean yourself in front of others?

Negative. He said I should seek out some other famous cat...

Indeed? Fascinating! Well, if you're up for it, let's follow this thread and see where it leads, eh? A rigorous test of the potion!

I suppose so. Now to find Ms. Jeeves...

I'll be back.

It's working, but I need more time.

Section 2

Meeting Ms. Jeeves at Harvest Den

Ms. Jeeves:Hello, kitten. You must be the tall glass of milk Snuggling Stone mewed about? I can see you're familiar with my tongue.

Ms. Jeeves: I hear you want to tickle the ear tufts of every fawn, wolf, and bear from the forest to the bog.

Ms. Jeeves: Well, I have a proposition for you - a little "you clean my fur, I clean yours."

Ms. Jeeves: I'm assembling a crew of professionals. One last job. Only the best. I could use a cat with your... freedom.

Ms. Jeeves: You might need to bend the law just a whisker. Cat burglary, perhaps. Nothing unsavory. What do you say, kitten?

Approaching her afterwards during section 1

I need your fleet walking and sweet talking to put this crew together. You'll help me, won't you?

Zizel did want me to follow the thread, I suppose...

Mmm, you wouldn't want to disappoint this Zizel, now, would you? And I'll be devastated if you turn me down, kitten... (purrs)

(sighs) Okay, show me the list.

With Fang, the Wise Guy

Meeting Fang, the Wise Guy at Harvest Den

(growls) Soooo hungry! It's just some cabbage, what's the big deal if we have a bite?

Can I interest you in an opportunity?

Can you hear my stomach growling? I'M going to start growling soon! Tell you what. You fetch me one of those cabbages next time we rbeak out, and I'll swap stories with you all day.

Fine... I guess one cabbage won't be missed.

Sorry I bothered you.

Talking to Fang, the Wise Guy after collecting An Amazing Cabbage

(crunches)

So, I have an offer for you.

(crunches)

Have you heard of Ms. Jeeves?

(crunches) The cat? Can smell her from here.

She is getting a crew together for a heist. She needs a climber and jumper.

Jumping, huh? Why didn't you say so? (crunches) As long as there's danger, I'm in. Time to leave these rascals behind and hit the big time.

You're in, then. She's in the village.

Sorry I bothered you.

Talking to Fang, the Wise Guy after recruiting him

Yeesh. Calm down, I'll go soon. Just let me enjoy the rest of this cabbage in peace. (crunches)

Just checking.

With Salty the Sly

Meeting him as a salmon near Mire Switchback

Nothing like it, eh? Flying through the water, smell of the sweet muck at the bottom of the river in your gills, tangy crunch of krill between your teeth...

It's something. So...I've got an offer for you.

An offer, you say? You must know who I am. Once I was on the dinner menu of a certain pirate queen. But I outdueled her chef and stole her name. Now I'm on the run.

Right, sure. Have you heard of Ms. Jeeves, the criminal mastermind?

The name has crossed my fins. Think she might've eaten one of my cousins. Don't worry, it's fine. I have hundreds of cousins.

She's getting a crew together for a big score, and she needs a swimmer.

Ain't no faster than me! Upstream, downstream, you name it, I'm your guy...so long as the score is good.

You're in, then. She's in the village. She'll explain.

Sorry I bothered you.

Talking to Salty the Sly after recruiting him

I'm going, I'm going. Land walkers...so impatient.

Just checking.

With Mrs. Legs, the Temptress

Meeting her near Haar Clearing

So you found me, hon. And look at you... What can I do for the big, strong hero who saved Mrs. Legs from the pot?

Uh, I was wondering if you would like to help with a caper.

A caper! Sounds exciting. I'm intrigued. Sounds like the kind of thing that'd get my heart racing. Especially if you're part of it.

Have you heard of a cat called Ms. Jeeves?

Oh, your naivete is delicious. Who hasn't heard of the infamous Ms. Jeeves, darling?

Right. Well. She needs someone to distract some guards.

Mmm, yes, that sounds positively irresistible. Just like you, darling.

(coughs) You're in, then? Good. She's in the village.

Sorry I bothered you.

After recruiting her

Don't rush me, darling. Be patient. Trust me, I'm worth the wait.

Ah, okay.

With Ms. Buzz, the Worker Bee

Meeting her near Apiary Holt

Pesky, pesky! Stealing honey! Need honey for queen! Buzz off! Bring honey!

What?

Honey, dummy! Bzzzzzzz! Bring sweet, sweet honey! For queen!

Rude. But okay.

Fine, I will buzz off.

Talking to Ms. Buzz, the Worker Bee after stealing honey

Yes, honey! Honey for queen. Meet at hive!

Wait...

Talking to Ms. Buzz, the Worker Bee near Queen's Confidence

Found me! Queen happy! Honey delivered! Not so dummy after all!

Agreed. So, I've got an offer for you.

Offer, yes. Work hard. Bzzzzzz!

Ms. Jeeves wants your help. Would the queen allow you to leave the hive?

Bzzz. Despite monarchical title, queen allows ample autonomy! Supports rights to seek gainful employment elsewhere if emotional or societal needs not fulfilled in hive.

Sorry, what?

Will help. Go where?

Uh, look for a cat in the village. Ms. Jeeves.

I'll be back.

Talking to Ms. Buzz, the Worker Bee after recruiting her

Hive! For queen! Buzz off to hive!

Right.

With Mrs. Night, the Eyes and Ears

Meeting her near Timber Cave

You were the one who helped me son, correct? I'm surprised. Your kind usually attacks us on sight.

Yes. He needed help.

I am in your debt. Should you have need of me, the pack can spare me for a bit.

Have you heard of Ms. Jeeves, the master criminal?

We do not concern ourselves with the politics of our prey. But since I owe you, tell me—what would she ask of me?

She is getting a crew together for a heist. She needs your eyes and ears.

Very well. I understand little of "heists," but my fangs long for the neck of something other than deer. The hunt is on.

Uh, hopefully it won't come to that. She's in town.

Sorry I bothered you.

Speaking to Mrs. Night, the Eyes and Ears after recruiting her

Please. I will need time to say farewell to the pack.

Just checking.

Section 3

Meeting Ms. Jeeves at Harvest Den after finding the first set of recruits

Ah, I was just wishing you'd wander this way. Wonderful work. Next, I need you to wrangle my right-hand recruiter, Mr. Ribbington.

Mr. Ribbington?

In the rare case that my feline charms fall short, I call on Mr. Ribbington. He's quite...persuasive. Presently, he's probing the islands for promising recruits. Lend him a paw, will you, kitten?

Okay. Do you know where in the islands I can find him?

Not precisely. But he knows I'm sending you his way, and I'd expect him near one of the camps. Look for the hat―it's positively striking.

On my way, then.

I'll check back in later.

Meeting Mr. Ribbington, the Muscle

(Mr. Ribbington stares at you dully, clearly unimpressed.)

Mr. Ribbington? Can you understand me?

(He continues eyeing you from head to toe, apparently sizing you up.)

Ms. Jeeves sent me to help. I was told you were aware.

(sighs) Another tadpole, eh? Fine. Fine. Well listen, tenderfoot: These are the missing crew members we need. Make it snappy, will ya? Time's wastin'.

Tenderfoot?

You hear me! Get a move on, rookie! Do I gotta spell it out for ya?

This better be worth it, Zizel...

Sorry I asked.

Meeting Ms. Claws, the Brains

Foolish bears. I've been studying the debris...Something isn't adding up, but they keep attacking us. I've been doing research on the bones, but I can't get a decent sample with the fighting.

Need help sneaking one out?

Hmm, a helpful biped? That's rare. Thought you all were just brutes! Fine, fine, bring me a decent sample and we can talk.

I'll be back in a while.

I'll be back

Section 4

Meeting Ms. Jeeves at Harvest Den after finding all the animals

Ah, my lovely, loquacious lickspittle! You've located them all! Let the caper commence, kitten!

Your big heist?

Precisely! After all the painstaking plotting and planning, finally our recruits will rendezvous in the cave where you met Mrs. Night. Find us there, kitten. It will be our finest hour!

I'll head there hasti—uh, quickly.

Sorry, I can't right now.

Meeting Ms. Jeeves at Timber Cave.

Ms. Jeeves: Ah, my kittens! You've all arrived, thanks to our lanky, loquacious friend here.

Ms. Jeeves: If all goes as I've planned, our dishes will soon be filled with the freshest sashimi gold can buy! Not you, Salty.

Ms. Jeeves: But what is our objective, you ask? Why, none other than the famed vaults of Lion's Arch!

Ms. Jeeves: Specifically, the purloining of the pecuniary property of one Captain Evon Gnashblade.

Ms. Jeeves: First, Fang and Mrs. Legs: You are the distraction. We'll want plenty of alone time in the vault.

Ms. Jeeves: Mrs. Night, ever the siren. Any Lionguard some running, kitten, you howl as loudly as I know you can.

Ms. Jeeves: The charming Mrs. Claws—there's a group of crabs near our entry point. Perhaps you could persuade them to help?

Ms. Jeeves: Mr. Razor will be the getaway driver, so to speak. He'll have us through the bay and at the objective in no time.

Ms. Jeeves: Salty, you wiggle your slippery, scrumptious way into the wall cracks, widening them for us. Then we start digging.

Ms. Jeeves: Ms. Blood, once we are in, you are crowd control. No deaths if you can help it, kitten; we are not wild beasts.

Ms. Jeeves: Mrs. Buzz will disable any traps—these bipedal buffoons won't have accounted for your wicked little wings.

Ms. Jeeves: From there, we load up the take, fast as a falcon, silent as a sidewinder.

Ms. Jeeves: Mr. Razor zips us out to sea, where Mr. Sleepy will be waiting to transport our haul overland.

Ms. Jeeves: And then, my kittens? Why, then we retire to lives of luxurious leisure, never wanting for catfish. Or catnaps. Shall we?

Talking to Ms. Jeeves after her speech

This is it, kitten—showtime. One last lick of larcency, then a life of long-lasting luxury. (purrs)

I hope it goes well.

Of course you do. You've earned a share, after all. Assuming it all goes to plan—of course it will—my kittens will contact your kitten. Zizel was it? Yes. Bood-bye. For now.

Enjoy your retirement, Ms. Jeeves.

Enjoy your retirement, Ms. Jeeves.

With Mrs. Slithers, the Smooth Talker at Timber Cave.

Jeeves sure knows how to find 'em. A two-legged one who can talk to us...

How long have you been with the crew?

About three or four years now. I helped with the Joko job, but I'm looking forward to retirement. Somewhere warmer.

Hope it goes well for you. Keep the new recruits safe.

Good luck!

With Mr. Hop, the Speedster, Ms. Stripes, the Masked Bandit and Mr. Shadow, the Drama King at Timber Cave.

Mr. Hop, the Speedster: This is so exciting! Thanks again for saving us!

Watch out for each other, and you'll do fine.

Ms. Stripes, the Masked Bandit: Don't need to worry about us! I'm an expert thief already!

Of course. Well, good luck anyway.

Good luck!

With Mr. Ribbington, the Muscle at Timber Cave.

(Mr. Ribbington stares at you, eyes narrowed.)

Still not impressed?

Mr. Ribbington: Heard a bit more about you. Think slaying dragons makes you a big deal? Try keeping this lot in check for five minutes, "Commander."

I'll leave that to you.

Good luck!

With Fang, the Wise Guy at Timber Cave.

It's good you brought me in. Time to show all these old-timers how things are done!

Maybe you'll learn a thing or two from them.

Psh. Not a chance! They need to let me run things. I've got fresh ideas! Hey, speaking of fresh, got any more of that cabbage?

Fresh out. Good luck!

Good luck!

With Mrs. Night, the Eyes and Ears at Timber Cave.

I sincerely appreciate the help you provided. I am happy to return the favor, though frankly I'm not sure precisely what I am in here for.

Well, it seems you're the lookout.

Do you believe the citizens of Lion's Arch will allow a wolf to wander the streets unhindered? I am skeptical.

Trust me, they've seen much stranger things...

Good luck!

With Ms. Blood, the Assassin at Timber Cave.

There you are. I could smell the deliciousness coursing through your veins well before you arrived. Could I persuade you to provide another sample, perhaps? Oh, the savory nose, the viscous palate, the—

No.

Ms. Blood, the Assassin: Will you reconsider? I've a business proposition. Blood as fine as yours is quite rare. With the proceeds from the heist, I could open a small tasting room for my fellow valravens. You provide samples—"

No.

Good luck!

With Mrs. Legs, the Temptress at Timber Cave.

Oh, hey there, hon. Couldn't resist coming to see me off, hmm?

Ready for the heist?

Always ready, sugar. It's high time to take this show to the big city!

Good luck...

Good luck!

With Ms. Buzz, the Worker Bee at Timber Cave.

Exciting! Traps! Good story for friends in hive! What a bzzzzzzzz!

Stay safe!

Safe, yes! Then return to hive, unless finding better work-life balance under permanent employ of feline malefactor!

Right. Good luck.

Good luck!

With Mr. Sleepy, the Sticky Fingers at Timber Cave.

Mr. Sleepy, the Sticky Fingers: (yawns) So you're the one who's been helping out. Well, I just want to get this over with so I can go back to dreaming about fish. And honey. And digging in junk piles. You two-legs sure do make a—

"You mean... hibernating?"

Ms. Jeeves: Come now, Mr. Sleepy. It's far from wintertime, and this will be your crowning caper. I promise, kitten.

Good luck...

Good luck.

Talking to Mr. Razor, the loudmouth outside, by Divinity's Falls

Were this fish not an integral part of this criminal endeavor, I would devour him simply to cease his prattle. He does not look appetizing...but he refuses to give me even a moment's peace!

You'll be heading out soon...

When this is finished, not only must I challenge you to prove my superiority, but I must also exact my revenge for being paired with this obnoxious blatherer. Your day will come, mark my words.

Right. Well. See you then, I guess.

Talking to Salty the Sly outside, by Divinity's Falls

How'd I get stuck out here with this toothy piece of work? Thought we'd have a lot in common, but the only topics he's interested in are demonstrating his dominance and...that's it, really.

Sorry to hear that. Ready for the job?

Ready as I'll ever be. Hmm, maybe I should trop a gold piece on Sayida's plate while I'm in town. A little compensation for stealing myself.

I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

Completion dialogue with Zizel.

Wayfinder, how goes the testing?

Well...I think I'm now an accomplice to grand larceny.

Indeed? I take it you did not interfere with any of the animals' plans, then. Good, good. A proper experiment cannot be conducted if we attempt to influence the outcome.

Not sure if I'd call it proper. But it was interesting.

Zizel: Outstanding. I'm pleased with the results. I believe that with another nine to fourteen years of testing, the potion might just be ready for public consumption.

The potion might be ready, but I'm not sure we'll be...
