Without a Lava Lounge Pass

Welcome to the one and only, the luxurious, the majestic, the sublime Lava Lounge! I'm sorry, but we only serve the most exclusive clients here. I can't let you in without a pass.

How do I get a pass?

I hear the Black Lion Trading Company has a few to sell.

All right. Show me the goods.

I have some questions.

Got it, thanks.

I have some questions for you.

It would be my pleasure to answer your questions. What would you like to know?

Could you tell me how the Lounge got started?

Happily! It all started when we scuttled our ship down south. I went out scavenging for supplies, but instead I found my fortune—specifically, this heap of junk.

The golem? What's that got to do with anything?

Turns out, my friend here was designed for only one purpose: building fancy island resorts. I think he was supposed to be at Southsun Cove? Lyssa take me if I know how he got all the way out here.

So this golem built a resort and just... gave it to you?

He calls me the on-site manager, and I don't correct him. So there you have it! Now I can fulfill my dream of running a first-class resort. Just like mother always wanted.

I have some more questions.

Interesting. I'll leave you to it.

So long story short, you robbed the Consortium.

Bored now. I'm leaving.

Why are you running a resort instead of helping the carnival down south?

We tried that already, and 3VCTN here got a bit... frazzled. Seems it thinks we're shoplifting if we take merchandise out without paying. It tends to overreact. Violently.

That doesn't sound good. Can I ask another question?

Sounds frustrating. I'll leave you alone.

I've changed my mind. Good-bye.

Good to know.

With a Lava Lounge Pass

Hello again! I hope you've enjoyed your stay. Just say the word, and I'll have 3VCTN teleport you wherever you'd like to go.

I have some questions for you.

It would be my pleasure to answer your questions. What would you like to know?

Could you tell me how the Lounge got started? (Same as above)

Why are you running a resort instead of helping the carnival down south? (Same as above)

Never mind. I know where I want to go.

On second thought... Nevermind
