NPCName
Rog, the DealerShe'll never lie to you, Exile. Take that as you will.
Tujen, the HagglerShe's a distant cousin of mine, so I do what I can to protect her. Got some weird ideas about the world, though. Thinks belief can shape events. If it could, we wouldn't have been defeated during... our last campaign.

No risk, no reward.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowMagicRarityEquipment
That might be useful?
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowRareRarityEquipment
It's not nothing, at least!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentOne
That's something!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentTwo
That looks intriguing!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentThree
You believed, and your belief paid off!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentFour
Wow! I don't know what to make of that at all! But at least you got it cheap!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowDivineUniqueCommentOne
Congratulations! You hit the jackpot! I always knew you'd get lucky!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowHeadhunter
Curious... at least you didn't pay much for it.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialLow
A decent payoff, I'd say.
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialMid
Quite the interesting piece of equipment, that! And it came cheap!
GamblerCurrencyVeryLowEquipmentSpecialHigh
You get what you pay for, I suppose!
GamblerCurrencyLowMagicRarityEquipment
At least it's pretty.
GamblerCurrencyLowRareRarityEquipment
Hmm. Might be useful in certain situations.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentFive
A decent prize!
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentSix
Glad you've taken that off my hands. I don't like it.
GamblerCurrencyLowDivineUniqueCommentTwo
Amazing! I really should have charged more for that one!
GamblerCurrencyLowHeadhunter
Low risk, strange equipment. Just another day of gambling.
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialLow
How intriguing! And it didn't cost you much, either.
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialMid
Now that's a decent payoff!
GamblerCurrencyLowEquipmentSpecialHigh
Better luck next time.
GamblerCurrencyMediumMagicRarityEquipment
You never know with that kind of equipment. Maybe somebody will trade you for it.
GamblerCurrencyMediumRareRarityEquipment
I'm not sensing excitement from you on this one.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentSeven
That looks very nice.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentEight
Artifacts related to these 'gods' of yours make me wary...
GamblerCurrencyMediumDivineUniqueCommentThree
Yes! You did it! Luck favours you this day!
GamblerCurrencyMediumHeadhunter
Wraeclast has such strange equipment...
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialLow
Looks like your belief in luck paid off.
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialMid
You're getting good at gambling!
GamblerCurrencyMediumEquipmentSpecialHigh
Ouch.
GamblerCurrencyHighMagicRarityEquipment
You really must believe harder.
GamblerCurrencyHighRareRarityEquipment
...neat.
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentNine
Hmm. Expensive risk you took, but this might be... something?
GamblerCurrencyUniqueCommentTen
Are you sure this 'divine' gear is worth what you paid for it?
GamblerCurrencyHighDivineUniqueCommentFour
That seems rather useful, to put it mildly!
GamblerCurrencyHighHeadhunter
Strange equipment at high prices. That's the beauty of gambling.
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialLow
Not bad for the risk you took.
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialMid
High risk, high reward!
GamblerCurrencyHighEquipmentSpecialHigh
Did you just squeal with joy?
GamblerCurrencyVeryHighHeadhunter
You didn't believe hard enough. Better luck next time.
GamblerCurrencyVeryHighRareLeatherBeltWithLife
You there! Local! Come here!
GwennenTutorialShout
I bet a yokel like yourself would be eager to see some explosions. Nevermind why we're blowing things up just yet. We'll get to that.

I've gone ahead and marked the locations of likely treasures and dangers. Consider me magnanimous. You can choose what we uncover, since I'm eager to see what kind of luck you possess. I'll wait back here. As far back as possible.

Lay out a chain of devices. We'll make a mighty fine display.
Unearthing the Past
Try to go as far as you can with the detonation cord.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesFirstExplosive
Not that far!
GwennenTutorialPlayerWalksTooFarAway
Further! Keep going. Away from me.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesSecondExplosive
All placed. Shall we light it up?
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesThirdExplosive
I should also mention... this might unearth monsters!
GwennenTutorialDetonating
You can take 'em!
GwennenTutorialMonstersAppearing
Go get 'em, local!
GwennenTutorialMoreMonstersAppearing
You did it?... you did it! Most of the locals I grab for this job don't last long.
GwennenTutorialAllMonstersDead
Hah, yes, I could have been more up front about the danger... but you see, people don't take the job when I mention that the upturned ground is full of deadly creatures. It's a mighty awful land you've got here, local. A wonder anyone survives at all. Though that does speak to why I'm here in the first place... but you'll have to ask Dannig about that, if you find him.

By the way, if you enjoy a bit of risk, I've got a few things I've unearthed that might be of interest to you...
The Successful Job
If you see Tujen, tell him I sent you!
GwennenTutorialPartingShoutForTutorialTwo
I'll finish up here. See you again soon!
GwennenTutorialPartingShout
Found something special for you here, local!
GwennenTutorialTwoShout
Remnants of ancient civilisations abound on this continent. Apparently, some of the remnants still hold mysterious influences. It's a bit of a risk to destroy one and release its energies, but the reward could be worth it.

Everything unearthed after a remnant is destroyed comes up a little different. Why don't you place an explosive device near that one over there? Let's see what happens.
Explosive Archaeology
Place an explosive near the remnant!
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesExplosiveNotNearRemnant
This placement of explosives won't scratch that remnant at all! Oh well, we'll try again later.
GwennenTutorialTwoFailure
Good, that'll do it.
GwennenTutorialPlayerPlacesExplosiveNearRemnant
I should also mention... this might enrage the monsters!
GwennenTutorialEnragedMonstersAppearing
There you go, exile! Destroying remnants is a risky endeavour but you can clearly handle it.
GwennenTutorialTwoAllMonstersDead
So it seems destroying ancient remnants alters everything we subsequently unearth, treasures and monsters both. It's a gamble, and you know I'm always up for that. So long as you're ready to handle the consequences... with violence.
Risky Remnants
Now that we've a chance to talk without explosives and monsters around us... I'm Gwennen. Luck is my game. But it's no game. It's deadly serious. You have to believe you're going to win, or you won't. That's the nature of this life, understand? It is what you make of it. So when you gamble with me, know that it's your fault if you lose. You just didn't believe hard enough.
Introduction
You're a woman of ironclad determination. I can tell. I'm Gwennen. I've got something I fervently believe in as well, but my religion is luck. I've run headlong into danger because it was what {I} wanted to do, any orders be damned, and I bet it's the same for you. When your actions and beliefs align, you can do anything. Even win at gambling. Which I bet you'll do. Care to try your luck?
Introduction
I can recognise a man of faith on any continent. I'm Gwennen. I'm dedicated to a cause, like you, but my religion is luck. I've gotten through deadly situations I had no right surviving simply because I {knew} I would. I assume it's the same for you and your prayers. This life is what we make of it. I bet I'm going to lose on our transactions, since you're going to pray while you gamble. I don't consider it cheating. I consider it admirable. We'll get on just fine.
Introduction
I've got a few more.

We've campaigned together for many years. It's taken a great toll on him, but he soldiers on. I don't know how he remains so cheery, honestly. If he loses another limb, he'll be more metal than man...
Tujen
He's a sweetheart. Have you seen the figurines he carves? The four of us use them to play this delightfully strange game he came up with. I love it because there are so many dice rolls, and, well, you know me.
Rog
Our intrepid leader believes in a world better than the one that truly is. He doesn't see you and me, Exile. He sees heroes. He sees grandiose myths and world-changing bravery. Don't dispel those notions. I want to live in the world he sees, even if I know it isn't real.
Dannig
During the failed rebellion, I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn't get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world.
Luck
I didn't say that. You must have misheard.
Failed Rebellion
During... an unspecified war... I once called out with all my heart. An arrow was arcing through the air. My arm was pinned, and I knew I couldn't get out of the way in time. I was a dead woman. But Luck answered my earnest request. Another arrow, also on a murderous path, hit the first {in midair}, and both were diverted, landing on either side of me instead! That was the first time I knew that Chance itself was a real force in this world.
Luck
You're pushing your luck with questions like that, Exile. Don't waste it. You'll need every scrap of fortune you can get when the time comes.
The King
Never heard of 'gods,' but I know I wouldn't put my faith in them even if they came to my doorstep with an army. I've already solidified my beliefs where they belong.
Gods
I am honour-bound to discover the fate of Medved and the Druids of the Broken Circle. They believed they could see into the future by peering into the past. Hypothetically, that's a power I'd very much like to have, for reasons of chance and profit... but I'm not sure I want it to be true. If Medved and his nature-mystics were right and Time truly is a circle, aren't we all doomed to repeat our lives over and over for eternity? If that is the truth, then there is no luck. No chance, no human will. All life is just a stageplay repeating over and over. I don't think I like that notion.
Druids of the Broken Circle
His final fate was unknown, but I do know he cast off his peaceful ways and trained with two powerful axes after he arrived here. We're not fools. We see that the dead rise here on Wraeclast. If Medved is still out there, he'll be extremely dangerous. Conserve your luck, and use it against him if you find him.
Medved
So the Druids lost the ability to see into the past after Olroth began using Wraeclast's forbidden gems... how strange... and Medved headed off into the dark of night to challenge the leader of the creatures to a one-on-one battle, no doubt. Honourable, but foolish. There's more to this story, Exile. I hope you can find it.
Medved
You have put Medved to rest after all this time. Thank you. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that he sent away before the end, so I could never leave here without ensuring my ancestor's peace. That is one more step toward freedom.
Medved's Defeat
The tale is now complete. Medved was a noble and well-intentioned hero, but the darkness of Wraeclast corrupted him and turned him toward madness. Now that he has been put to rest, I am free. Once we find the Triskelion Flame, I can return home.

I must thank you for this. I am descended from Annest, the daughter that Medved sent away before the end, so his actions mark the honour of my lineage. When we return home, I will end the tale at his journey into the night to challenge evil's unseen leader. The Kalguur will know that he died in combat trying to save his people. The rest does not need to be told.
