Dialogue
State your business Riverrise depends on it!
Do you stand against the northern abominations?
This is no place for the idle are you committed?
Are you prepared?
Any artifacts found?
Stay vigilant!
Found any artifacts?
Enemies threaten us!
Stay alert!
Do you serve Riverrise?
The unwavering shield of our illustrious mayor of Riverrise.
For years, I served as the mayor's personal guard.
Recently got reassigned, er - promoted here to lead the war effort.
My duty is to crush these northern threats in the mayor's - and the light's names.
Ah, just marvellous! The volunteer army decided to volunteer elsewhere deserters, the lot of them.
It's me versus the northern anomalies now who needs sleep anyway?
And the ecological survey team? Breathing down my neck about 'environmental impact'.
As if the creeping chaos cares about their precious foliage!
Between vanished soldiers and those leaf-loving bureaucrats, it's a wonder I'm still sane.
Ah, welcome to this charming patch of mud and decay we call it the northern outpost.
This place is a mess borderline uninhabitable but hey, we re making it the jewel of the north.
A wretched pit that should feel honoured we're stomping around in it.
This forsaken corner of the world is held together by the sheer will of the lightbearers you're welcome.
Unless you ve a decree from the mayor himself, I need nothing.
Assist me? Unless you can match the mayor's brilliance, stand aside.
Help? Unless you're sent by the mayor, I'll manage.
Only the mayor could offer aid to my mission thanks but no.
Unless you can fortify my resolve like the mayor does, I think not.
Your enthusiasm is noted, but this task is too crucial for unproven hands.
Help? Ha! Unless you can channel the mayor s wisdom, stay vigilant elsewhere.
No, unless you're here to bring word from the mayor himself.
Finally! Someone who's not just standing around
By the mayor's gleaming smile, yes! I've been juggling artifacts like a mad jester!
Absolutely! These cursed relics won t obsess over themselves!
Yes! Together we'll seize those artifacts before they seize us!
Thank the light! An extra pair of hands to handle these... fascinating anomalies!
Do I need help? Does the mayor inspire greatness? Yes!
Yes! The more eyes we have on these artifacts, the better for Riverrise, of course!
By all means, finally!
Yes! With your assistance, we might just tip the scales in our favour!
