Dialogue[edit]
- Ten minutes before event begins
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Preliminary signs of...multiple rift anomalies. Possible equipment malfunction...
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Never seen preliminary data show simultaneous interdimensional erosion on this scale.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: I'm running diagnostics, but we should move to readiness level one. Finish all current tasks and prepare for incursion.
- Start of event
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Incursions imminent! Rift warnings...everywhere! Astral Ward, report to your bastions!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Head to your designated— Spirits... Over the spire... What...what is that?
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: One thing at a time. All available ward, to your bastions immediately! Search and seal! Close those rifts!
- Heading to the Spire's Heart before summons are completed
- Dagda: It'll ravage your mind if you stay up here. Return to a summoning platform before it drives you mad!
- Upon closing all six tentacle rifts
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention, ward. Report to the landing immediately for a strategy briefing.
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Those injured or assisting the injured make your way to the infirmary at the Bastion of the Natural.
- Astral ward members begin to convene for the strategy briefing.
- Uenno: (groans) This is too much for my old bones. Let's be done with this, one way or another.
- Frode: We've done well to hold them off. But if we're going to force them out, we have no choice...
- Gol: Remain calm. Remove emotion. Focus on the task at hand. Only then can we overcome.
- Captain Emund: Judging by the look of you all, I'm not the only one who nearly died back there. Hm. Is that discouraging or reassuring?
- R'tchikk: Friends! It is a great relief to see all of your faces. R'tchikk feared the worst.
- Head Archivist Wavering Heart: So many of you, still fighting. The happiness in my heart nearly drowns out the screaming in my head.
- Head Cartographer Pavish: I told them not to test us! Wait...is there more fighting to do?
- Once everyone is gathered for the strategy briefing.
- Dagda: Attention, ward! Damaging the tentacles is hurting the creature. But I'm afraid it may not be enough.
- Frode: We're out of options, Dagda. It has to be Mosaic Wrath. We have to summon the guardians.
- R'tchikk: The power the guardians consume—decades to build, minutes to deplete...
- Dagda: We only get one chance at Operation Mosaic Wrath; if we summon them now, we'll be vulnerable, even if we're victorious.
- Frode: Better vulnerable than defeated. I only hope we're not too late already. Can you and Lyhr buy us the time?
- Lyhr: Either we do or we're all dead.
- Random
- Dagda: Death is a luxury we can't afford. If the guardians are spent, the ward's all that stands between the Kryptis and Tyria.
- Dagda: And there are fates worse than death.
- Random
- Livia: There's a parasitic subspecies called a Puppeteer Ooze that can enter the skull through any open orifice—
- Gol: One could posit that "good" and "bad" do not apply to life and death. Given our current situation, the tranquility of—
- Zizel: Sadly true. An apprentice once brewed a tincture with weevil secretions rather than beetle. Has phantom tongue pain now—
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Multiple rift warnings! Breeches imminent on upper platforms!
- Dagda: You're right, Frode. Lyhr and I will distract the beast from above. Do we have the numbers to support the summoners?
- Frode: As a shrewd wizard once told me, "Either we do or we're all dead."
- Dagda: The north platform is compromised. Frode, Gol, take the east platform. R'tchikk and Vanak, west. Livia, Zizel, south.
- Dagda: Remaining Astral Ward, return to your posts on the bastions or assist the injured.
- Dagda: Survive, and we few will know you are heroes. Die, and all of Tyria will know of our failure. Go!
- After the first three guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir The spire's under direct attack! Divide forces—skyscales, defend the spire; ground troops, engage the head!
- Upon the Maw becoming vulnerable
- Dagda: Now concentrate on its maw—we have to break its hold!
- Upon the Maw reaching half health
- Dagda: It invades our thoughts again. Lyhr and I can withstand this, but you must flee before it tears your mind apart.
- After all six guardians have been summoned
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Defend the spire. Skyscales, take to the air and intercept. The rest of you keep fighting the head!
- Dagda: Again. Focus on the tentacles!
- Dagda: Use the powers of the remaining guardians! Keep the pressure on!
- Once Nourys's Maw has been defeated
- Dagda: Do as I do, and together we can deal the final blow.
- Once Dagda completes her ritual
- Dagda: That's it! The guardians are combined! Attack with their full strength!
- Dagda: No. No! It's not enough. On your skyscales! I will imbue them with power.
- Dagda: We need to break the beast's concentration. Get in the air and attack those eyes!
- If player is outside of the event area during the Nourys fight
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Attention! Operation Mosaic Wrath underway! Report to Dagda on top of the spire! Go! Go!
- Upon success
- Lyhr: Amnytas is ours, demons. OURS!
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: Threats eliminated. Kryptis in retreat! You did it, ward! You did it!
- Upon failure
- Vigilkeeper Livsdottir: The spire is overwhelmed! Fight your way to safety! Escape if you— YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME WITHOUT A FIGHT!
- After event success, with Dagda and Lyhr
- Dagda: We actually pushed that thing back. We can't let our guard down, and who knows what Eparch will throw at us next ... But we did it.
It was a group effort.
- Lyhr: It was. You, me, Dagda, the entire Astral Ward_including everyone we've lost. We all played a part in this victory. Dagda be right about Eparch ... but let's savor this.
- Mabon would be proud.
- Dagda: Indeed. Of all of us. Thank you, Wayfinder. Just ... please, don't ask me to do that again for a while. A LONG while.
Understood.
- We'll be there to take whatever Eparch can throw at us head-on. Together.
- We did it.
- With R'tchikk, Gladium, and Vanak Faithwalker
- R'tchikk: R'tchikk saw the commander_I mean the wayfinder_do the big punches! The wayfinder's skyscale poked ALL of the monsters eyes out! R'tchikk could hear them POP from the Wizard's Tower!
- That's...disturbing to know. But thank you for your help, R'tchikk.
- Gladium: (gestures)
- (You get thes sense that Gladium is apologizing for R'tchikk's impulsive comment, but she understands why R'tchikk is so happy.)
- I think I understand. And I agree, It was quite a victory today.
- (Smile and wave good-bye.)
- I... Thanks.
- With Uenno and Frode
- Uenno: It wasn't easy... Yet I'm not sure we could've asked for much better, all things considered. Wayfinder, thank you.
- Eparch's still out there...
- Frode: (sighs) You're right. But now that we have a moment to breathe... Maybe I can take a little time to process losing Arina.
- Keep your hopes held high, Frode. Tomorrow's a new day.
- I'm glad I was able to help.
- With Head Cartographer Pavish, Forro, and Coconut
- Forro: Wayfinder. I thank you. All the creatures of Amnytas thank you.
- We all did our parts.
- Coconut: (purrs)
- Aw, thanks, Coconut. You fought bravely.
- Head Cartographer Pavish: Have to admit, even I got a little scared toward the end there. Those huge tentacles waving around, eyeballs shooting all manner of... What is that noise? She's not going to bite me, is she?
- Only if you show fear.
- Rest up, friends.
- You're welcome.
- With Narcisse, Yasko Ironquill, and Captain Emund
- Narcisse: What a battle! You're looking well, all things considered. Are you hurt? Or are you too stoic to admit it? Like those two.
- Probably.
- Captain Emund: Heh. Felt good to get out there and do something. Glad it's over for now, though. I'll admit my arm was getting sore...
- You fought well. All of you.
- Yasko Ironquill: We've dealt a blow to Eparch's forces, that's for certain. If only we had all the strength to counter— Ow! Narcisse, I might need a bit of healing after all...
- Heal up while you can...
- Narcisse probably has something for that.
- I'm fine, thanks.
- With Head Archivist Wavering Heart, Researcher Lezzi and Zizel
- Zizel: Our feats today, Wayfinder... A turning point, perhaps? Auspicious. Beautiful. Worthy of song.
- Beautiful, indeed.
- Researcher Lezzi: A shame I wasn't able to dissect the creature, though. Speaking of beauty, the rifts it created... So many at once... Those were true works of art.
- I wonder if it survived.
- Head Archivist Stalwart Heart: Mmm. As does Louse. Perhaps we turn the tables, demon? Perhaps we invade YOUR home next, hmm?
- Let's hope it doesn't come to that...
- I'll hav to take your word for it.
- Well fought, everyone.
- With Livia, Gol, and Galrath the Undying
- Livia: It seems that you're the hero of the day yet again, Wayfinder. Just like old times, no?
- It's what we do as part of the Shining Blade.
- Galrath the Undying: BAH! That lot don't know what the world's really about. Livia does. I do. Live for hundreds of years, and you learn a lot.
- Still plenty of secrets out there, aren't there?
- Gol: More than can ever be known. But we must strive to learn something new every day, with the hope that knowledge brings us closer to ending Eparch's reign of terror.
- Wise words.
- I'll...get right on that.
- Excellent work.
