Dialogue[edit]
- Before event, on the shoreline of Lake Bounty
- Suspicious Villager(1): Try to hold back your stupidity, you overgrown feline. Someone is coming.
- Suspicious Villager(2): Shut your trap before I decide to use you as bait.
- Suspicious Villager(1): If this was my outfit, you'd have been keelhauled long ago.
- Suspicious Villager(2): I wouldn't catch anything anyway. Not even bottom feeders would touch your sorry little carcass.
- Before event, in Applenook
- Suspicious Villager(3): The caravan is approaching.
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: (whistle) Get up here. The caravan's getting closer.
- Speaking to Traveling Merchant to start the event
- Traveling Merchant: You look like you can handle yourself. Interested in a little work?
- Traveling Merchant: Last time I came through here, I got robbed by a bunch of pirates on the bridge. Would you mind helping me, please?
What do you want me to do?
- We just have to cross the bridge so I can deliver goods to Applenook's market. If anything stops us, you make sure they regret it.
I can do that. Let's go.
I've got other things to do.
- Not interested.
- Event start
- Traveling Merchant: Every second we wait means lost profits. We need to get a move on.
- Traveling Merchant: Applenook is close, but we've got a big haul. It's a relief to have some help on this run.
- Speaking to Traveling Merchant along the road to Applenook
- Traveling Merchant: No time to talk, unless you are headed my way. I have to keep this shipment moving or people go hungry.
- Where are you coming from?
- All the way from Vigil Keep. I like selling to the villagers in Applenook, but getting there unscathed isn't such a sure thing anymore.
- What makes the trip so dangerous?
- The pirates are like a lingering illness around here. They don't risk the wrath of Lion's[sic] Arch, so they keep robbing villagers or traveling merchants like me. Easy pickings, I guess.
- If I see any pirates, I'll deal with them. Safe travels.
- Not interested.
- Good luck.
- I'll get out of your way.
- Speaking to Cricket at Applenook Hamlet Waypoint
- (Before the caravan has arrived at the bridge)
- Cricket: Those people at the bridge look funny. And they smell like the sea. Bleh!
- Cricket: There are funny looking-people at the bridge. They have lots of jewelry and dirty clothes. My dad thinks they're up to no good.
I might check it out. Can you show me where they are?- Sorry, kid. I'm not interested.
- (After the caravan has arrived at the bridge)
- Cricket: There's fighting on the bridge! Hurry!
- Cricket: The pirates are killing people on the bridge. Stop them.
- I'll head to the bridge right away.
- It's not my problem.
- Before the caravan arrives at the bridge
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: What's the delay? The merchant is headed this way.
- Suspicious Villager: The powder was wet. I'm going as fast as I can.
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: I didn't ask for excuses. Just get it done. Everyone else, take up your positions.
- Once the caravan arrives at the bridge
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: Hold it! Give us your cargo or we blow the bridge.
- Traveling Merchant: If you blow the bridge, there won't be anything left to take. You're bluffing.
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: Bad move. You had your chance.
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: You said it would take out the whole crew!
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: Well, we're in it now. Attack!
- Event success
- Traveling Merchant: Good thing you were here to help. Follow me to the market[sic] and I'll thank you properly.
- Event failure
- Veteran Suspicious Villager: Grab what you can, mateys. We meet up back at the reef.
Notes[edit]
- The amount of pirates in the initial wave can be lowered by talking to Suspicious Villagers on the bridge before the merchant arrives.
