Festival NPCs

Mastro [Near the massive bonfire in the middle of Detlas (474, 67, -1585)]

[1/4] Mastro: HUMAN! Excuse me for one moment! I will take the time to greet your FIERY SOUL, right after my sales pitch!
[2/4] Mastro: Ardent Magma Crystals for sale! Pure, 100%! There can be no substitutes for gold of the UTMOST PURITY! I'll be here every moment of this RIGHTEOUS FESTIVAL, selling Ardent Magma Crystals for only 500,000 Liquid Emeralds each! 50% off!
[3/4] Mastro: Appreciate the BLAZING SPIRIT of Dwarven determination by buying an Ardent Magma Crystal today! Feel the sweat-stained PASSION of my LIFE'S WORK in these genuine Ardent Magma Crystals!
[4/4] Mastro: Now then. Human! WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL! Your salesman's spirit is EVER BLINDING!! It is a pleasure to see you here once more! Surely, the flames of the bonfire cannot hold a match to your SOUL!

I almost did a double take on my eyesight. 500,000 LE?!
I feel bad for this guy. No one in the entire server will have that amount of money on hand. And even if they did, who's to say that they will even buy it?

[1/3] Mastro: The FLAMES of the bonfire harden my resolve! HUMAN! You have fortuitous timing, as I am resting my vocal chords for a moment!
[2/3] Mastro: Even a STRONG salesman such as myself must accept his limits. If only I could hone my voicebox the way I have honed my body and trade! Alas, I must take a moment between my sales pitches!
[3/3] Mastro: But for a BLINDING spirit such as yourself, I may talk for a moment!

[1/4] Mastro: Is it not obvious? A TRUE SALESMAN must search for opportunities wherever they lay! An ocean is NOT A BOUNDARY in the pursuit of business!
[2/4] Mastro: Word reached the Thanos bazaar of a BURNING-HOT FESTIVAL, and I am not disappointed! The people of this town are enlightened by the roaring flames!
[3/4] Mastro: And such a hub of trade, this town of Detlas is! I have seen a dozen merchants here for every one I have found in the bazaar, and from all walks of life, all places!
[4/4] Mastro: The traders in the bazaar are old hat! Their sheer persistence brings them back, and we see few new faces. But here is a veritable NEXUS of the tradesmen. A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to sell my Ardent Magma Crystals!

[1/12] Mastro: To create an Ardent Magma Crystal, and to learn how, is a trade that has stayed with the Aellioxus family for GENERATIONS! We are more than willing to share our secrets.
[2/12] Mastro: There are many who have sought to follow in our footsteps! And there have been NONE able to withstand and perfect the rigorous purification process! And so, the method has remained a family trade.
[3/12] Mastro: But I do not merely offer apprenticeship for creating Ardent Magma Crystals! I am also a motivational speaker! My speeches have ENFLAMED the hearts of hundreds, and encouraged them to forge their own path- to hone their OWN MIGHT!
[4/12] Mastro: The spirit can only be broken if you LET IT be broken! Everyone can become indomitable and motivated! It is nothing but SHAMEFUL to see foul depression take over the lives of many.
[5/12] Mastro: I must be honest with you- for a long time, I thought myself a failure. I could barely purify Iron in my younger years- how was I to maintain that level of quality to a more fragile metal, for seasons at a time?
[6/12] Mastro: I felt weak. It felt as though success was unattainable, and for a dark time in my life, I languished. My spirit did not burn bright- it was nothing but a fizzling ember. During that time, I met a man by the name of Dohstaj.
[7/12] Mastro: He is a quiet man. And at the time, I thought that we were kindred- both meek, quiet, unmotivated. But that could not have been further from the truth! His goal, as he told me, was to restore ancient wartime artifacts.
[8/12] Mastro: In particular, a Dogun Flameshooter! It is believed to be impossible. But Dohstaj said simple words to me. that ignited my spirit one day.
[9/12] Mastro: "If you tell yourself it's impossible, it's impossible. So I won't tell myself that."
[10/12] Mastro: There, it became clear to me that Dohstaj was not depressed as I was- his spirit was small...but shone as the SUN! And through those simple words, I was reinvigorated! He helped me find myself that day- he passed his flame into me, and I felt what it was like to BURN!
[11/12] Mastro: I swore to myself that I would never give up again! That my spirit WOULD NOT BE CONTAINED!!! And shortly after, I successfully created my first Ardent Magma Crystal, not mertely to live up to the family trade, but as PROOF to myself that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
[12/12] Mastro: And I pass that BURNING PASSION to anyone and everyone I meet! Even the festival goers have found themselves motivated by my machismo! There is a man with a balloon who dreams of flight- and look at him now! FLYING on WINGS OF BLAZING SUCCESS!!!

I asked if he has apprentices, not for his whole life story. And I thought Gale spoke too much in the Blizzard festival...
But still, his speech was undeniably motivational.

[1/6] Mastro: Yes, I have! As a matter of fact, news only reached Thanos of the war after it had already concluded! It has spurred many feelings into me!
[2/6] Mastro: Anger, at our ancestors for demonizing the Doguns! I had always wondered about it- beings of such fierce flame, of sheer MOLTEN STONE! How could they be so horrible, being as they were? But I never thought to question what I had been taught.
[3/6] Mastro: Sadness, at the death of the Rodoroc prince! I had seen the boy himself a few times- and such DRIVE he had! Indeed, the world is dimmer for his absence. More people with his passion, and more importantly COMPASSION, are solely needed!
[4/6] Mastro: And now, excitement! Being able to aid the Doguns and be aided in kind by them has opened up a hundred new possibilities! Imagine how powerful our forges may become with the aid of a Dogun!
[5/6] Mastro: I have considered breaching the topic of an apprenticeship with one! However, it seems as though Korzim is not keen on the idea. It is unfortunate, that, but with Axelus passed I will match his passion tenfold for his absence!
[6/6] Mastro: And Dohstaj, too- we have begun to work together in repairing the old Dogun artifacts as a means of reparation! Quiet his soul may be, but between his shining DETERMINATION and my own SALESMAN'S SPIRIT we will surely help make things right!

[1/5] Mastro: YES, IHAVE! I have made six sales of Ardent Magma Crystals!! That is three million Liquid Emeralds that I will be bringing home!
[2/5] Mastro: But wait- what's that shocked look you wear? Are you surprised at such a sum of money? Come now! Pick your jaw up from the floor and stand with PRIDE, my friend! The Aellioxus family is known far and wide for its magnanimity!
[3/5] Mastro: If we are able to find evidence of people whose spirits are DAMPENED by unfair living conditions, then we will do whatever we can to lift them up with GENEROSITY! Pay whatever is necessary, in tax and out of pocket, to improve their lives and let their souls BURN BRIGHTLY!
[4/5] Mastro: It is a point of pride that the nobility in Rodoroc report zero poverty within the city thanks to our donations! And if that should change, if that should be proven wrong, I will SMITE the conditions with an EMERALD-ENCRUSTED GIFT!
[5/5] Mastro: Though, confusingly, many villagers are in need of our services have REFUSED! They seem to believe that taking charity is weakness, somehow! That answer of why they might believe that still elides me to this day!

... Who's going to tell him about the Rodoroc Slums? Also, I'm willing to guess that one of those who bought the crystals is Worid.

[1/2] Mastro: AHA! So my sales pitch has reached you! As it happens, I still have half a dozen to sell!
[2/2] Mastro: I would be HONORED to provide you one of my genuine Ardent Magma Crystals, my friend! It will be a trifling [500,000 Liquid Emeralds], if you please!

Citation needed

[1/1] Mastro: UNFORTUNATE! It seems you haven't got enough money! Perhaps you merely miscounted your funds?

I'm gonna need help for this one. Anyone willing to throw away 500K LE please tell me what dialogue he has so I can add it in...

[1/1] Mastro: Then take it as a point to strive for!! Think of it- one day, you will be the proud owner of the purest gold imaginable! REACH THAT GOAL, HUMAN! I will keep one in waiting for you for that day!

[1/2] Mastro: I AM HONORED BY YOUR GRATITUDE!! I wish you as well, friend- Now go! Bring your brand of SOULFIRE to this festival!
[2/2] Mastro: As for me... I have rested long enough! ARDENT MAGMA CRYSTALS FOR SALE!! Pure, 100%! The highest quality gold in existence, brought into this world by SWEAT, TEARS, AND PASSION!!

Holy crap, this guy talks a lot. He'd give Gale a run for her money.

Cow [Next to a miniature bonfire near the fast travel to Letvus Airbase (429, 67, -1548)]

[1/1] Cow: Moo.

It looks at you like it wants you to leave it alone.

Corkian Firecracker Vendor [Besides the Blacksmith shop (482, 67, -1587)]

There's an inscription on the machine. 'Corkian Firecrackers! Powerful pyrotechnics! Only slightly dangerous! Buy now for 32 Emeralds!'
...There's also a note on top of the machine. 'SOLD OUT. Sorry for the inconvenience!'

You insert thirty two emeralds, hoping for the best.
...
The machine refunds your emeralds, and does not give you a Corkian Firecracker. Disappointing.

You step away from the Craftmas Cracker Vendor, giving it one last final wistful glance before departing.

What is it with Corkians and not stocking their Vendor machines on festivals?

Event Airship Pilot [Besides Calo and his airship (401, 82, -1528)]

[1/2] Event Airship Pilot: Well, howdy! Are you here to visit the Sunset Valley?
[2/2] Event Airship Pilot: Just hop aboard my airship, and I'll get you where you want to go!

Rusty Bartender [In The Rusty Recruit (419, 67, -1524)]

[1/6] Rusty Bartender: Well, hello there, traveler. Don't think I've seen you in here before.
[2/6] Rusty Bartender: Business is a touch slow today, but feel free to have a seat. Would you like a Nemract Whiskey? On the house.

[3/6] Rusty Bartender: Here you are, then!
[+1 Nemract Whiskey]

[3/6] Rusty Bartender: Hm. Didn't I just give you one? Let's slow down there, a bit, alright?

[4/6] Rusty Bartender: So, how have your travels been? You look like you've traveled the whole world. I can feel your power even from here!
[5/6] Rusty Bartender: Variation
[6/6] Rusty Bartender: Well, I'd best get back to my business. It was nice talking to you, traveler. Come around anytime.

[3/6] Rusty Bartender: Well, suit yourself. I think I'll have one, myself.
[4/6] Rusty Bartender: So, how have your travels been? You look like you've traveled the whole world. I can feel your power even from here!
[5/6] Rusty Bartender: Variation
[6/6] Rusty Bartender: Well, I'd best get back to my business. It was nice talking to you, traveler. Come around anytime.

Dialogue [5/6] will randomize itself for every encounter. Here are the ones I have so far.

[5/6] Rusty Bartender: You... what? You managed to take on the infamous Hive Challenge? And defeat the Mistress herself? You are something else, traveler.

[5/6] Rusty Bartender: ... So that mission of yours ended in this way? That's... troubling. You're quite powerful, yes, but you seem rather lucky to have lived. A shame the others did not...

Edit : It appears the Rusty Bartender is a new addition to NPCs in Detlas. I thought he was a festival exclusive character as those were the only times I saw him.

@Da Spookyboi has a thread on all the dialogues of the Rusty Bartender so go check out his thread here :- The Rusty Bartender Dialogue Hunt

Bulbo [In the Rusty Recruit besides the Bread Enthusiast (414, 67, -1532)]

[1/3] Bulbo: Hello. Enjoying the festival? I sure am.
[2/3] Bulbo: It;s nice to know that this place hasn't changed. Well, it has, but it hasn't, you know?
[3/3] Bulbo: Sit down, have a drink! I could use someone to talk to.

[1/3] Bulbo: Well, hullo again! What should we talk about?

[1/3] Bulbo: Indeed I do. I've attended many of Wynn's festivals in the past.
[2/3] Bulbo: If memory serves, this one is a celebration of the year and the people who didn't make it during this year.
[3/3] Bulbo: But I'm sure you already knew that!
[1/3] Bulbo: It might seem strange for a Hobbit to be so invested in human traditions, but I've really learned a lot of this by accident.
[2/3] Bulbo: I would just show up whenever there seemed to be a party going on. Though, not all of them are parties, are they?

I've never seen this guy in last year's festivals up to this one. I wonder if he was somewhere I haven't checked in Detlas...

[1/5] Bulbo: Oh, countless times. I used to live just up the road.
[2/5] Bulbo: I moved back to Gavel a few years ago... I'd rather not get into why.
[3/5] Bulbo: I wonder whatever happened to my home. I'm sure someone's taken up residence in my absence...
[4/5] Bulbo: You know, while I'm here, I should try and visit Gundalf. He was an old friend of mine.
[5/5] Bulbo: I hope he's still around.

Who's going to tell him that his old home has turned into a cave with a T3 chest at the end?

[1/7] Bulbo: Oh, Dodegar? He's an interesting one. I brought him along on this trip for some company, mostly.
[2/7] Bulbo: Had a heck of a time convincing him to come, but he's really not all that bad.
[3/7] Bulbo: And he was probably the only one who would have been willing. A lot of my neighbours back home think I'm a little... strange.
[4/7] Bulbo: He probably does too, but then, so is he. A swordsmith is not a respectable occupation for a Hobbit.
[5/7] Bulbo: Too adventurous. Uncivilized. He's also really bad at it, if you hadn't noticed.
[6/7] Bulbo: If he cares about his reputation, he'd be better off settling down and making furniture. Chairs, maybe.
[7/7] Bulbo: But he is pretty entertaining to talk to, even though he doesn't seem to want to talk to me.

[1/1] Bulbo: Oh, alright then. Enjoy the festival!

"Human" [On the first floor of the Crossroads Inn (506, 74, -1534)]

[1/3] "Human": hello... fellow Human! how do You do??
[2/3] "Human": my Name is Carl. Carl is a normal Human name.
[3/3] "Human": we are having a Conversation! a talk? A chat. What to Talk... about?

He will change his name to "Carl" after this dialogue

[1/1] "Carl": more to Discuss? Converse?

[1/4] "Carl": Yes. yeah? yes! that is a Normal topic for Conversation
[2/4] "Carl": Colors. colours? Human language is so strange.
[3/4] "Carl": I... like BRICK. brick Is a very good Color. robust. Sturdy, even?
[4/4] "Carl": there are Other good colours. Saffron. puce! charcoal? greige,

"Carl" be speaking facts. The human language makes no sense sometimes. Also, way to fail on what could be the simplest question ever asked...

[1/6] "Carl": I do not.. TRUST the one called Troll. you should beware!!
[2/6] "Carl": Trolls. trolls are bad. Trolls do not like goblins. no?
An exasperated sigh seems to come from the bottom of the trenchcoat.
[3/6] "Carl": er. ERRR. uhh? there is no reason for Humans to worry. humans Do Not fear Trolls!
[4/6] "Carl": No. I would not know Anything about Goblins! why would You think that?
[5/6] "Carl": absolutely NOT. Definitely not? nope??
[6/6] "Carl": We... should Pick a new topic in this Conversation. This chat? debate?

In case it wasn't clear, this "Human" is just two goblins in a trenchcoat, kind of like how two kids would stack on one another in a large trenchcoat to sneak in an adult venue back in the day...

[1/5] "Carl": Debt-less? I do not owe anyone Money. currency? yes. it is a good feeling. to not owe money.
[2/5] "Carl": oh. Detlas. the town we are within. City? province? city.
[3/5] "Carl": it is a Very Good city. full of Humans. And fire?
[4/5] "Carl": I do not understand why these Humans have so many fires. they aren't even COOKING with the fires. Strange.
[5/5] "Carl": Festival? fes-ti-val. what is This? Is that why there are so many fires?

[1/1] "Carl": okay. OK? yes. If you want to Conversation later, I will still be in this Location. yes.

Troll [On the first floor of the Crossroads Inn (513, 74, -1532)]

[1/3] Troll: Oh hello there. I don't think we've met.
[2/3] Troll: My name is Troll, I'm visiting for the festival. Pretty good, isn't it?
[3/3] Troll: Did you want to talk about something? I'd love to chat, I don't get many chances to talk with people.

[1/1] Troll: So... Any other questions?

[1/6] Troll: Oh. Nowhere really, I live in a tower on an isolated island in the ocean.
[2/6] Troll: I don't get many visitors there. Or really any, come to think of it.
[3/6] Troll: That's why I decided to come to the festival, I haven't talked to another person in years.
[4/6] Troll: Er- Not to weird you out or anything. I do like peace and quiet, but after so long, some social interaction is refreshing.
[5/6] Troll: Right- anyway, where I live. My island is just north of Mage Island.
[6/6] Troll: I'd love it if you came for a visit sometime.

[1/4] Troll: ...I didn't have the best parents. I think the name was a mean joke on their part.
[2/4] Troll: Truth be told, I don't think they wanted a son - all they left me was that stupid island and all.
[3/4] Troll: Don't go feeling too bad for me though, I've done well with what I have.
[4/4] Troll: I have considered changing the name though. I don't think it exactly encourages visitors...

[1/5] Troll: Let's see... Here's one.
[2/5] Troll: I assume an adventurer like yourself would know the captain of the Seaskipper, right? The guy that ferries all sorts of people across the ocean.
[3/5] Troll: He passes by my island all the time, but never stops to visit... Anyway. I managed to flag him down to take me to Nemract for the festival.
[4/5] Troll: But when he picked me up, he asked if I had slain the giant troll that lived in the tower!
[5/5] Troll: I was so taken aback that I didn't actually correct him.

I expect to have the Seaskipper Captain to update his dialogue on Troll after this festival, Wynn devs. Would be interesting to see what the reaction would be.

[1/9] Troll: Oh, Carl? He's nice enough. Actually, we've gotten along quite well so far.
[2/9] Troll: We have a lot in common. He's also from an island in the ocean, and also seems to be in need of some practice talking to people.
[3/9] Troll: Have I noticed anything strange about him? Well, no. Not really.
[4/9] Troll: He has an interesting accent, sure. And he has some very unsusual political opinions about Gavel...
[5/9] Troll: ...But I guess so would I, if I lived that close to Jofash of all places, if the rumors about there are true.
[6/9] Troll: I did catch him going to bed still wearing that long coat of his, which was quite a sight. But- and I'd appreciate if you didn't mention this to anyone...
[7/9] Troll: I don't Carl is very well to do. I wouldn't be surprised if that coat is the only clothing he owns.
[8/9] Troll: He hasn't wanted to talk much about his home island, I think because there isn't much to tell.
[9/9] Troll: He insists his home is "perfectly normal", and I'm fine to leave the subject there. I don't think you should press him on it.

[1/1] Troll: Alright then. If you change your mind, I'll be staying at the inn here for the duration of the Festival.

Garull [Beside the extinguished bonfire, if you have completed "Creeper Infiltration" and "Temple of the Legends" (486, 67, -1536)]

[1/5] Garull: So loud... Why is everything so loud- Aah! Oh, it's just you!
[2/5] Garull: No, no, you didn't sneak up on me this time, it's just with the festival going on, there's so much noise.
[3/5] Garull: I'm glad I found this corner away from the hustle and bustle, but it's still loud.
[4/5] Garull: Well, I guess it's to be expected, and I did need to get away from my work.
[5/5] Garull: It's good to see you survived that beast, too. Did you feel like talking?

[1/2] Garull: I should invest in earplugs... Oh, hello again.
[2/2] Garull: Anything you feel like talking about?

[1/11] Garull: It's a long story, and I almost wish I'd never met him really. The man has an ego bigger than his nose.
[2/11] Garull: Because of my research and my craftsman's skill, I was in the employ of the Temple of the Legends for a long time.
[3/11] Garull: I contributed to a lot of the tomes there, and helped forge the armor used by the guards and trainers.
[4/11] Garull: And that included Kelight's equipment. He was... exactingly particular with his specifications.
[5/11] Garull: The thing is, that isn't the bad part. Expecting quality is...well, to be expected, and I enjoy testing my skills.
[6/11] Garull: The problem is, I talk when I work. If my mouth isn't moving, neither are my hands.
[7/11] Garull: One day, he overheard me mentioning Creepers while monitoring my work, and he got downright insulting towards me.
[8/11] Garull: He'd always been condescending but this was on another level. I remember his exact words.
[9/11] Garull: "Quit chasing those fairy tales. You may as well suggest that a dragon will swoop down in the middle of Detlas!"
[10/11] Garull: Every time he saw me, he'd bring it up, and I don't even think he meant it to be insulting, but it was anyways.
[11/11] Garull: I had to see him every day coming into the temple. I had to leave because of his incessant mockery, I couldn't take it!

[1/6] Garull: Oh, that one's easy. I study cryptids.
[2/6] Garull: I've always been fascinated by the kinds of beasts people dream up in stories and myths. Those ideas had to come from somewhere.
[3/6] Garull: Creepers just happened to be the ones that were the most... Vindicating, to find.
[4/6] Garull: Like, most of the strange things I've found have some kind of rational explanation to them.
[5/6] Garull: But I've studies those Creepers for years and never figured out their biology.
[6/6] Garull: They just fulfill a lifelong notion that's more to the world than what's in the history books.

[1/7] Garull: Mostly I try and look for ones whose properties could be useful in making things.
[2/7] Garull: It's how I discovered Touroto Hide, actually! I didn't know they were commonplace in Gavel at first.
[3/7] Garull: If I can crack the biology of Creepers, then I've got this idea for a handheld cannon using natural, farmable, explosive powder. Saltpeter is tough to come by, after all.
[4/7] Garull: Right now, I'm looking up stories about the mythical "Sunset Sailors" actually.
[5/7] Garull: They're from a kids book, yeah, but the idea of clothes and vehicles that can let you fly would be an astounding advancement!
[6/7] Garull: And, when I say flying vehicles, I mean smaller and more nimble and easier to make and pilot than airships.
[7/7] Garull: I mean, wouldn't that be something? An aerial caravan, without a giant balloon to hold it up!

I think Garull just described an Aeroplane... To be fair, this is a fantasy setting, so I doubt that Wynn will add Airplanes in any future update.

[1/1] Garull: Hey, just cause I don't like the noise doesn't mean I mind a conversation every now and again.

Enzan [Outside the potion shop next to the massive bonfire, if you have completed "Enzan's Brother" (460, 67, -1590)]

[1/4] Enzan: Hello again, friend! Still doing well after all this time?
[2/4] Enzan: It's good to see you here. Come to partake of the festivities here, I assume? Grand!
[3/4] Enzan: I'm just glad I made it. I didn't get the news til just the other day that the festival had started!
[4/4] Enzan: In any case, anything new to talk about?

[1/2] Enzan: Yes, I may have missed a few days of the festival, but I'll just have to make up for lost time.
[2/2] Enzan: Anything new to talk about?

[1/4] Enzan: Ah, yes. I swear, he puts more effort into excuses to be a grouch than he does to climb those stairs of his!
[2/4] Enzan: Matter of fact, he received the letter about the festival here, and never told me!
[3/4] Enzan: Of course, he didn't feel like making up for that by coming along, said he had work, but alas.
[4/4] Enzan: I'll just have enough fun for the both of us!

[1/4] Enzan: It's been lovely! I would have expected it sooner, but sometimes things get in the way, and better late than never.
[2/4] Enzan: It's a little smaller than the other festivals, but with a memorial festival like this that's inevitable.
[3/4] Enzan: And it IS a little bit spooky, admittedly, with those two fellows by the smaller fire, behind the armor shop...
[4/4] Enzan: But I suppose it's getting to be around that time, so I've certainly got no complaints.

[1/4] Enzan: Oh, absolutely! If you haven't yet, you really must try the Bonfire Cake from the fellow by the bank.
[2/4] Enzan: It's baked fresh, so it really warms your belly. Worth the steep price, no doubt.
[3/4] Enzan: Matter of fact, I had a rousing conversation with a villager in the tavern about it! He seems very passionate about baked goods.
[4/4] Enzan: He recommended to not go crazy with the sweets... But it's a festival! Go on, indulge!

He had a conversation... with the Bread Enthusiast? God, I hope he's okay.

[1/4] Enzan: Yes, as a matter of fact. Though admittedly, I'm not sure if I'm glad you noticed.
[2/4] Enzan: To tell you the truth, I thought to visit a barber after the Ragni regiment received their new armor.
[3/4] Enzan: You know, new look, new me! But it's been too true, I haven't quite felt myself since.
[4/4] Enzan: But hey- even at my age, hair grows back. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[1/1] Enzan: Oh well. I hope you enjoy yourself regardless!

Orikal [near a medium bonfire where the fish pond was, if you have completed "Corrupted Village" (441, 67, -1618)]

[1/3] Orikal: Ahh, so nice to be able to relax now that the task is over...
[2/3] Orikal: Oh, it's you! You're the soldier that helped me investigate the spikes near that village.
[3/3] Orikal: Thank you again for your help with that. I'd have missed the festival if you hadn't helped out. Care to chat?

[1/3] Orikal: Greetings once again, soldier. It's so nice to not be surrounded by people gone manic for a while.
[2/3] Orikal: Was there something you needed to talk about?
[3/3] Orikal: Thank you again for your help with that. I'd have missed the festival if you hadn't helped out. Care to chat?

[1/6] Orikal: I- Um.
[2/6] Orikal: Uh, you see, eheheh, that is...
[3/6] Orikal: Er. It's, um, funny you should ask! I, uh...
[4/6] Orikal: ...
[5/6] Orikal: ...pass?

Something tells me he didn't think that one through. Oh well, at least Kelight might find a use for it in the "Temple of the Legends" quest...

[1/9] Orikal: Intriguing, dangerous, and infuriating all at once, as usual.
[2/9] Orikal: I had suspected that the spikes were part of some kind of "root" system, and that knowledge on the corruption had been lost somehow...
[3/9] Orikal: See, they call the Nether basin the Roots of Corruption. Most people assumed that was just to say, that's where it began, but that didn't seem right to me.
[4/9] Orikal: I've since discovered- every single spike I have researched has reached deep, deep underground, and I have to surmise they connect directly to the Nether Basin.
[5/9] Orikal: Well, with exceptions regarding the ones created by Bak'al's destruction. Some of those stick out of house walls...
[6/9] Orikal: But a little while ago, I got a letter from Colonel Gailard, stationed in the savannah, about a corrupt lava spring that cropped up.
[7/9] Orikal: There, he cited the existence of something called a corrupted heart, which you destroyed!
[8/9] Orikal: I've no clue what the difference could possibly be, or how it appeared without evidence of corruption spikes.
[9/9] Orikal: Researching this is almost as maddening as the corruption itself, some days!

[1/6] Orikal: Ah, yes. The mask. Did you know you're the first one to comment on it?
[2/6] Orikal: Well, that isn't true. I received some insults at the village over it. Something about a stinky bird...nevertheless.
[3/6] Orikal: Since the exact nature of corruption is unknown, I figured I should take as many precautions as possible.
[4/6] Orikal: Fir instance, what if it spread through miasmic spores? Other diseases do, as well as types of fungi.
[5/6] Orikal: It's also stuffed with an herbal mix- mostly calming ones like chamomile so I can keep my head on straight while I work.
[6/6] Orikal: At some point it just became more convenient to leave the mask on most of the time.

This is the first time I've noticed that he wears a Plague Doctor mask. All this time, I thought it was his face...

[1/3] Orikal: Ah, yes, at that magic school, I believe? Ehm, what was it called again... Grookfeathers Academy?
[2/3] Orikal: I was approached a while ago by them after I published some manuscripts about my findings.
[3/3] Orikal: Hopefully they were able to decipher everything. I'll be the first to admit I can get impenetrably technical when talking about corruption.

[1/6] Orikal: ...oh. Don't tell me you're getting sent by that pompous legend guard to- Wait, wha-
[2/6] Orikal: You KILLED it?! Excuse me?!
[3/6] Orikal: HOW?! Not strengthwise, there are plenty of strong soldiers and you certainly fit the bill, but! But!
[4/6] Orikal: The Corrupter is one of the most volatile corruptive forces known to us! Even being in proximity to it should've rendered you mad!!
[5/6] Orikal: It's so violently destructive that it's attacked other corrupted armies! It practically has its own BRAND of infection, and studying that is running me absolutely ragged!
[6/6] Orikal: Wait, hold on, don't even tell me. Even just hearing that you were exposed to it at all is making me sick with worry. Don't say more.

I wouldn't blame him for having that reaction. On top of the helmet required to enter the cave, breaking a number of builds in the process, CoW is pretty overwhelming in terms of its speed and Multihit abilities.

[1/2] Orikal: Well, it's good to see you anyhow.
[2/2] Orikal: Take care out there, will you?

Dodegar [Near the entrance to The RUsty Recruit, if you have completed "The Ultimate Weapon" (427, 67, -1524)]

[1/3] Dodegar: Well, fancy seeing you here. I guess you probably live here, so that's not too surprising...
[2/3] Dodegar: Anyway. So this is your province then? It's dreadful, I hate it.
[3/3] Dodegar: Did you want something?

[1/5] Dodegar: Oh, you're still here.
[2/5] Dodegar: Did you want something?

[1/6] Dodegar: Not much of anything. Visiting my many ungrateful relatives.
[2/6] Dodegar: ...I've also been in the process of designing an extremely powerful new sword, the best the province has ever seen!
[3/6] Dodegar: More powerful than all of my previous, ah, "Ultimate Weapons", of which there were many.
[4/6] Dodegar: The ingredients to make it will be the only most exotic and rare in all the lands!
[5/6] Dodegar: You could help me make it, you know, if you're willing.
[6/6] Dodegar: You were most helpful last time.

[1/6] Dodegar: Yes. You see him over there? The other hobbit.
[2/6] Dodegar: That's Bulbo, the most annoying neighbor I've ever had. He convinced me to come along on this little trip of his.
[3/6] Dodegar: He said seeing Wynn would be a good inspiration for my work. So far the only inspired idea I've had is to leave.
[4/6] Dodegar: He's crazy, that one. He actually used to live here. Right here, just outside of Detlas.
[5/6] Dodegar: Came back to Shiar a couple years ago, spouting some nonsense about needing to escape some clock, only to realize he'd brought it with him.
[6/6] Dodegar: At least this province's whiskey is good - that's about the only redeeming trait of this place so far...

[1/8] Dodegar: Yes, yes. Of course! You wish to enlist my skills? I will gladly make something for you, repay you for your help with my last project.
[2/8] Dodegar: I will make you for you: An indestructible helmet, completely impervious to all forms of attack!
[3/8] Dodegar: Let's see... I should have everything I need right here.
Dodegar starts pulling a seemingly endless supply of tools from his pockets.
[4/8] Dodegar: Now for some materials... Surely the Bartender here wouldn't mind if I ah, reuse some mugs and silverware...
[5/8] Rusty Bartender: Yes, actually. I would mind, please don't do that.
[6/8] Dodegar: Nonsense! What's a couple of spoons between friends, eh?
Dodegar begins crafting, occasionally pausing to grab more silverware.
[7/8] Dodegar: ... ...Yes that should do it. My creation is complete! Isn't it beautiful?
[8/8] Dodegar: Er.. Ah. I should have taken measurements beforehand. The fit might be a bit tight I'm afraid.
[+ 1 Very Small Helmet]

You don't even get the item he made... I feel sorry for the Rusty Bartender, for having his mugs and silverware turned into... whatever he made.

[1/5] Dodegar: Hmph. If you didn't want to talk, then why did you bother me in the first place?

Wow, that was rude...

Korzim [Beside the extinguished bonfire opposite to Garull, if you have completed the "Dwarves and Doguns" questline (495, 67, -1535)]

[1/3] Korzim: Greetings...to you, <player>. It has been...some time.
[2/3] Korzim: It is...heartening to see you, in...good health. I am glad to...attend.
[3/3] Korzim: Come. Sit by the fire. There is...surely much to speak of.

[1/2] Korzim: The company here...is strange. But perhaps...strangeness is a good sign.
[2/2] Korzim: Did you wish to...speak, <player>?

[1/5] Korzim: As it turns out...the airship companies have...magicians which can heatproof cabins.
[2/5] Korzim: Signing the...paperwork, however, was difficult. The...utensils melted in my grip, to say nothing...of the paper.
[3/5] Korzim: I copied the...script onto a stone tablet, and wrote from there instead. It was an...acceptable compromise.
[4/5] Korzim: The magician, however...only heatproofed the one cabin. Not the...entire ship.
[5/5] Korzim: That is why...it took so long to reach the festival.

[1/4] Korzim: To an...extent. It is why I have...chosen this festival, among...other reasons.
[2/4] Korzim: There is plenty of fire...to warm myself in. It would take...quite some time for me to...fully cool.
[3/4] Korzim: What is more...dangerous, is the wooden buildings, and...plant life. I must...watch my step.
[4/4] Korzim: The man tending to the...bonfire in the square helped...prevent me burning down the bank, on...accident.

[1/7] Korzim: ...efforts have continued without me...for establishing relations and...bringing our people back.
[2/7] Korzim: I...cannot take Axelus and Paku...off my mind. What had...happened, after you...brought down Garaheth.
[3/7] Korzim: ...I have, with...Draani's permission, burned many...of Axelus' things, and...taken in the ashes.
[4/7] Korzim: But there is...one thing that I will...instead, let scatter to the wind. A...Dogun memorial.
[5/7] Korzim: It is...why I am here. I...may be needed by my people soon. But I must...process my grief first.
[6/7] Korzim: I find it difficult to let go. Difficult to forgive Paku...for my exile, for Axelus' death.
[7/7] Korzim: I must...work past that, if...I am to do what is...required of me.

[1/2] Korzim: It is...pleasant.
[2/2] Korzim: Let me speak of...

[1/6] Korzim: He has a gifted mind. That is certain.
[2/6] Korzim: He speaks of...many strange creatures, and...how they should be known. Domesticated. Allied with.
[3/6] Korzim: Perhaps if...there had been more dwarves of...his persuasion...
[4/6] Korzim: ...
[5/6] Korzim: ...there is no sense dwelling...on the past. That is how...the second war escalated.
[6/6] Korzim: At least he shares my...enjoyment of quietude.

Yeah, I miss Axelus too...

There's option dialogue for this one? Who is going to sit here next?

[1/1] Korzim: Then I will...bid you safe travels.
