Dialogue

Event ready, approaching/speaking to Historian Taraz

Historian Taraz: The Priory should really have more soldiers. All our expeditions are to dangerous places.

Historian Taraz: Wait, Commander! You're just the sort of muscle I need for this.

I could really use some protection while I gather up artifacts. Interested?

Sure, I've been meaning to get into bodyguard work.

Sorry, I'm off-duty right now.

Event start

Historian Taraz: Finally, getting out into the field at a newly uncovered site. Now this is why I joined the Priory.

Historian Taraz: I've had enough of stuffy towers.

Historian Taraz: Well, unless it's the ruins of some ancient stuffy tower, I guess.

Arriving at ruins

Historian Taraz: Wait, wait. Look at the architectural style here. Hold on, I need to make a quick sketch.

Ruins 50% study progress

Historian Taraz: Ah, an inscription? Even better than I was hoping for.

Ruins studying complete (only the first ruins)

Historian Taraz: The stone they built this place out of is unique in Tyria, to my knowledge.

Historian Taraz: I wrote a paper once on how geology determines the path of civilizations. People don't appreciate it yet, but they will.

Reaching interesting rock location

Historian Taraz: Ah! Leave me alone!

Handing in interesting rocks

Historian Taraz: Well now, this is an interesting piece...

Historian Taraz: I...I shouldn't be here. I thought I was ready, but...

After collecting interesting rocks

Historian Taraz: Thank you. I feel...better.

Historian Taraz: I'm sorry. The last expedition I was on was attacked by the Kryptis, and I haven't been out in the field since.

Historian Taraz: Guess it left a stronger impression on me than I thought.
