Ambient dialogue[edit]

Astral Ward Researcher Cattra: Another one? Adding it to the map.
Astral Ward Researcher Cattra: I wonder what the gwyldell use them for... Food? Rest? Some sort of ritual?
Astral Ward Protector: On your last outing... By chance, did you notice any rings naturally occurring in the environment?
Astral Ward Skirmisher: I did, actually! One made of mushrooms.
Astral Ward Protector: You'll have to let Cattra know. She's studying the creatures that watch over them.
Researcher Soomin: Any guesses so far?
Researcher Kokoris: Not yet. The structures are well over a thousand years old. And who knows how long the place has been abandoned.
Ralorr Fireshot: Seems like we're finding a lot out there right now. Been bringing back big hauls so far.
Adia Keenheart: Just make sure you bring them all to me first before you mention them to anyone else.
Adia Keenheart: We're here for the legions first and foremost. We can turn over whatever's left that we don't want.
Pekki the Red: So that's all it is. We just need a small investment now to cover our transportation costs.
Pekki the Red: Then, once we get back to the mainland, we can pay you back triple what you gave us.
Quickhands Midius: All our gold's tied up, you see? And it'd be a shame for you to miss out on this rare business opportunity.
Researcher Dellia: And you promise to repay triple my investment when I return to the mainland?
Pekki the Red: Of course, you have our word. And we've got our reputations to think about, you know.
Quickhands Midius: I mean, if we were to deceive you, why, we'd never be able to do business like this again.
Researcher Dellia: Well, thank you for letting me in on this opportunity, then.
