Ambient dialogue

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.
