Dialog[edit]
- Another ship sent to an early grave in the harbours of Cyseal. A terrible sight, that.
- 1. How about that burning ship?
- She was targeted by the orc shaman during the attack - and now she's left to the ocean's cold embrace. We just couldn't get ahead of the flames with nothing but a few men and some buckets.
- 2. Tell me about yourself.
- EEK!* Oh, sorry, I thought you were a zombie. Never can be too sure these days!
- What's there to say? Just your average Cysealian tryin' to make a living.
- 3. Tell me about Cyseal.
- Cyseal, now that's a sad story. Roofs of elegant homes burned for fuel, oaken cupboards emptied, and ladies dragging the dregs of their great skirts to bargain for fish bones.
- Cyseal had the biggest economy in all of Rivellon before all these recent troubles. We're all holding out hope that prosperity hasn't fled for good.
- Well, there are certainly some, erm, interesting creatures running around these days! Orcs are only the tip of the brutish iceberg! Don't forget the murderous bones along the northern gate and, if the rumours are right, the ghosts in the Black Cove. How's that old expression? When the blood spills, it pours.
- We're surrounded! Undead haunting every exit, orcs gnashing at every entrance. Sealed in like mummies, you know.
- 4. What do you know about the undead plague?
- I've heard that once they're animated, the undead feel all the rage and violence their living counterparts felt during life. Can you imagine? Living through all your most chaotic feelings, all the time?
- 5. Can you tell me about the attacks upon the harbour?
- That burning ship? Picture that times a hundred. It was as though the Seven themselves rained down armageddon on our shores.
- Cyseal survived by Arhu's staff alone, I'll tell you. The Legion did what they could, but without the wizard's help, we Cysealians would be in chains or dead by now.
- 6. Tell me about the Legion.
- We're grateful to have 'em, sure, though that warehouse full of supplies meant only for legionnaires tends to rub the average deprived Cysealian the wrong way.
- O, the Legion has been around for the better part of a century now, founded by the Council of Seven to keep the peace. Thanks to the legion there's hasn't been a war since its first battalions put an end to the lizard uprising and the dwarf clan conflicts. Imagine that: no wars at all for nigh on a hundred years! Until the orcs got restless that is...
- 7. Can you tell me about the orcs?
- Imagine our terror when we saw their leader, a great green brute with grimy, blood-stained pelts across her shoulders, clamber onto our docks during the last attack! Thankfully, Arhu was there to send them swimming back to their makers.
- 8. So, what's the latest gossip?
- We've been plagued with these horrific undead for years now! Some say they were summoned here intentionally, but I'd say some amateur necromancer let a little experiment get out of hand.
- Everyone is pretty baffled as to why the orcs keep causing problems here in Cyseal. This city has had one foot in the grave for the better part of two years now - I certainly can't think of what they'd want here.
- Considering how fat and lazy the legionnaires have become, I'm surprised I'm looking forward to welcoming reinforcements. I'd put up with a thousand more of these flatulent cretins if it meant they could finally clear the trade routes.
- 9. What have you heard about Councillor Jake's murder?
- Murder indeed! I say the poor man offed himself after catching that wife of his in bed with the Duke of Ferol!
- Have you spoken to Captain Aureus yet? He's in charge of the investigation, and there's no better man for the job. Councillor Jake will be avenged - I'm sure of it.
