Dialogue
When the player speaks with the NPC at the Sunken Keep:
^ Greetings, friend, you've come to chatter? From where I sit, you seem the madder! Fork, spoon, knife, and a drowned man's wife.
^ Where I come from in is out, down is up and up is down! Plate, cup, bowl, and a broken widow's soul.
^ Would you like this rich perspective? Trust me lord, it's quite authentic! Elbow, jaw, knee, and a grave beneath the sea.
If the player answers "Yes":
^ Fear not, then, extend your hand. There is great power in a brand. White, searing, hot, and an iron-forged thought.
If the player answers "No":
^ What a tragic limitation! You'll miss my cooperation. Mock, mocked, mocking, and a dead man's stocking.
If the player speaks to the NPC again:
^ Seek and find the hallowed stones. What comes next? I trust you'll know. Fate, faith, fade, and the calm beneath the shade.
When the player speaks with the NPC at the Red Hall of Cages:
^ Look at us, we walk the ceilings! Steady on, our heads are reeling! Roof, wall, floor and an upside-down door.
^ Dragons high and dungeons low, find the voice that scares the crows. Deep, black hell, and the darkness that there dwells.
^ Island full of wicked things, shattered lands and broken kings. Ruled, ruler, rule, heed the wisdom of the fool.
If a summoned player speaks to the NPC:
^ Look at this, a sword for sale. Cooperate, you shall not fail. Leather, mail, shield, and a sword's what you shall wield.
