Ah yes, who can forget the smell of Eastern Ulbuka. Fetid jungles, noxious rrrivers, and sulfurous magma. It's enough to bring a tear to the eye.≺Prompt≻
But you know what gets me even more excited? Tiny caves filled with trrreasure dotting the landscape!≺Prompt≻
Gee, you know what would be positively wonderrrful? If some strong pioneer were to go down there and beat up the monsters guarding it! You wouldn't happen to know any, would you?≺Prompt≻
Oh, what's this now? You're a pioneerrr? I had expected someone with a bit more...panache.
Still, while you're here, mind smashing some skulls?≺Prompt≻
But wait--those arrrms of your are like twigs! <Sigh> Waiting for the right ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[man/woman] to come around is such a pain...≺Prompt≻
Why, yes, a specimen such as yourself will do purrfectly! Caught like a mouse, you are!≺Prompt≻
Just let me work a little hocus-pocus and...there! Now you're ready to go delving for trrreasure!
Right? I'm not going to let you turn back!≺Prompt≻
Ready for some spelunking?
≺Selection Dialog≻My gear's as good as on!
Caves, eew...≺Prompt≻
Wh-what? This is trrreasure we're talking about here! Riches abound! Woo the ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[woman/man] of your dreams...or the ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[man/woman] of your dreams, if you're into that! Not that I care about you people either way.≺Prompt≻
Wow, you might be dependable after all! There's no need to ink our deal on parchment--I've already collected a hair sample in case I need to curse you for betraying me.
Here's how it works: I discover the probable location of a treasure, and you go out and find it for me. Wrap your pea brain around that one.≺Prompt≻
You must be brrrimming with questions. I suppose even the simplest of explanations would confound you, but...bah. Just ask away.≺Prompt≻
What will you ask of her?

You've got a yantrrric planchette, but...what's this? It has no yggzi beads? Bah, I didn't think someone could be this useless until I met you.≺Prompt≻

Oh? Looks like your sack is full. Come back once you've emptied it out.≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[ As much as I'd like to do it for you, I shouldn't touch something so purrrsonal without permission./]≺Prompt≻
Of courrrse, what good is an adventurer without ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[his/her] spoils? Too bad for you, sweet cheeks, that you might not be interested in what I'm looking for.≺Prompt≻
You might think me a bit rrrough around the edges, but I assure you that I am an academic of the highest caliber. I would claw someone's eyes out to get ahold of what's down in those caves!≺Prompt≻
...But monsters aren't my forrrte. Here's the deal. You go bash their faces in and bring me back what they're guarding. Anything the monsters have in their possession is yours. I couldn't care less.≺Prompt≻
And if you find anything out of the orrrdinary, you'd better bring it to me or I'll hunt you down. Yes, find a total of ≺Numeric Parameter 0≻ of what I need and I'll throw in something else to sweeten the pot.≺Prompt≻
Have you got lint in your earrrs? A fracture is a fracture! You know, a mystical underground cave. They've got to have them back where you come from--or are you really that oblivious? As to the details...well, these are untamed wilds, after all. Expect the unexpected.≺Prompt≻
That's why I'm licking my lips at the thought of finding arrrcane knowledge! Yes, think of the pow... <Cough, cough> What I mean to say is...≺Prompt≻
Even finding these fractures is a burrrden. You catch a glimpse of rocky entrance, only to see it fade into mist. Yes, the treasures are always a paw ahead. Never more, never less.≺Prompt≻
To be frrrank with you, I don't understand it either. What I do know is that you need a yantric planchette to even have a prayer of finding the real entrance.≺Prompt≻
These yantric planchettes don't make themselves, my pet. They're crrrafted from only the finest yggrete--and no one can fashion them but me.≺Prompt≻
You see where I'm going with this, or do I have to carrrve it into your flesh? First the stone. Then the planchette. Then the fracture. Then the treasure. Is that comprehensible enough?≺Prompt≻
Yes...do this and all the plunderrr will be ripe for the plucking. Hunting fish in a barrel...unless the creatures lurking below get to you first.≺Prompt≻
Mweya plasm is a substance of grrreat power found coating the scales and flesh of fiends within the caves.≺Prompt≻
Its white sheen and and otherworldly lustre...hmm...
<Cough> Hmph! Either way I have no use for it. Strange as the untamed wilds, it's well sought after by the Inventors' Coalition.≺Prompt≻
I'm usually not one to be concerned about the prrractical implications of such things, but think of the possibilities!
≺Unknown Parameter (Type: 36) 2≻I said think, damn you!
<Sigh> I'm sure those inventors back in Western Adoulin will trade you trinkets for even just a drop of the stuff.≺Prompt≻
I'm more than just sharp claws and a prrretty face--I'm also the only one who can make yantric planchettes! That's why I'm here!≺Prompt≻
You're completely useless unless you trade me yggrrrete so I can make one.≺Prompt≻
Why? <Scowl> Because you can't find the caves' entrrrances and step inside without one!≺Prompt≻
<Sigh>≺Prompt≻
Stop looking at me like that. No, I don't know why it worrrks that way, okay? That's why I've got to study these things!≺Prompt≻
Oh, and another thing, tenderpaws--once you've used a yantric planchette, it crrrumbles into dust and becomes completely useless.≺Prompt≻
Of course, it goes without saying that the yggrete becomes totally useless, too. And before you ask--no, I won't give a damn if you come back to me crrrying and bawling. I'll just laugh in your face.≺Prompt≻
Yggrete are petrified pieces of wood from a tree said to contain mystical powerrrs. But they're hard as rock--just like your head, evidently--so you can think of them as stones.≺Prompt≻
They come in many colors depending on the latent energies within. It's those enerrrgies I need to make a yantric planchette.≺Prompt≻
The color of the yggrete deterrrmines what entrance it leads to. See how nice I am, spending all my time to supply you with this imporrrtant information?≺Prompt≻
“Why are they called yggrete?” Really?
<Sigh> There's no helping some people. Suffice to say, it's one of nature's grrreatest mysteries.≺Prompt≻
So if you come across any yggrete, just trrrade them to me so I can make you a yantric planchette. With that, you can go bash some brains in to help me find what I need! I trust you can do that much.≺Prompt≻
So, you want to know what yggrete shards are? Someone really needs to slap some sense into you--might as well be me. They're...sharrrds of yggrete.≺Prompt≻
I shouldn't fault you too much, though, because they aren't used in the same way. No, these are used to call monsterrrs to you.≺Prompt≻
They can also be condensed into mweya plasm...if you desirrre.≺Prompt≻
Use them once and they become inert and sterrrile, just like...never mind. Don't be an idiot by using them when you don't mean to.≺Prompt≻
Yggzi beads are another forrrm of yggrete. You know, magic and all.≺Prompt≻
By infusing a yantric planchette with these mystic beads, you can prevent certain monsters from approaching you--now, if only they could stop idiots from apprrroaching me.≺Prompt≻
Each yantric planchette can be infused with up to three yggzi beads. Might as well try them for yourself, no?≺Prompt≻
Having all this talent is tough enough--I don't need to be doing other people's dirrrty work, too.≺Prompt≻
They can also be turned into mweya plasm just like yggrete shards. A plebian like you doesn't need any of that, though.≺Prompt≻
So you brrrought me ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻ ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻$≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻? And I was about to pounce on you for wasting my time. Let me get a good look...≺Prompt≻
Perfect! Easy as unrrraveling a ball of yarn.≺Prompt≻
Here you go--your very own ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻3≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻. Purrrfect for finding those fractures.≺Prompt≻
You've already got ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻6≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻? So you were wasting my time! Get out of my sight, and be thankful I'm rrreturning this stone to you at all!≺Possible Special Code: 00≻

That should be it for now.≺Prompt≻
What? Do I have some catnip on my face?≺Prompt≻
Anyway, herrre you go.≺Prompt≻
Maybe I shouldn't get so frrrustrated at you for this, but I can't put multiple stones of the same type onto one yantric planchette. The energies would cancel each other out.≺Prompt≻
Have you got brrricks for brains? Only a total of ≺Numeric Parameter 0≻ bead≺Singular/Plural Choice (Parameter 0)≻[/s] can be placed in a yantric planchette!≺Prompt≻
You can't be serious... ≺Unknown Parameter (Type: 80) 1≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻6≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻? H-how could a nitwit such as you possibly have...?≺Prompt≻
I must say that you've surrrpassed my expectations. A nicer person might congrrratulate you.≺Prompt≻
You're “worthy” of the moniker “adventurerrr”...or was it “pioneer” now?≺Prompt≻
If you're feeling lucky, you can try your hand at one of the other fractures. If you did it once, then you might even be able to do it again...against all my expectations.≺Prompt≻
(Yes, yes...with such command of the aetherrr, ≺Multiple Choice (Player Gender)≻[he/she]...)≺Prompt≻
H-huh? Those fractures must be wreaking havoc on your ears. I didn't say a damned thing, and I'll rrrake your face if you say otherwise!≺Prompt≻
Look who came crrrawling back in fail... What!? ≺Unknown Parameter (Type: 80) 1≻≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻6≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻!? You did it again!?≺Prompt≻
How could you possibly have accomplished such a feat, what with those chicken bones you call legs?≺Prompt≻
And if that weren't eye-popping enough, those inventorrr folk came barreling over here talking about new items they've discovered in exchange for mweya plasm. Like I care about such things!≺Prompt≻
You must be drrripping with the stuff by now, so pay them a visit before they come back to assault my ears with their meaningless drivel.≺Prompt≻
You've come this far--fancy yourself up to the challenge of explorrring the third cave for me, or are you going to moblin your way out of it?≺Prompt≻
Enough pawing around! Get off your haunches and... Huh? You actually got ≺Possible Special Code: 01≻≺Possible Special Code: 05≻6≺BAD CHAR: 8280≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻≺BAD CHAR: 80≻!? Unbelievable!≺Prompt≻
I chalked the first two times up to serendipity, but to have done it again... Yes, my rrresearch will advance by leaps and bounds!≺Prompt≻
At first I thought you were so wet behind the earrrs that I could water my plants with your face, but this is something else. You've somehow managed to acquire all three treasures!≺Prompt≻
I suppose I owe you something--a leftoverrr from my machinations. I have no need of it.≺Prompt≻
Did I say “machinations”? No, I don't believe I did, and I'll rrrake your face if you say otherwise!≺Prompt≻
Let's just reach in the bag and see what it is...≺Prompt≻
Yes, isn't this just amazing?≺Prompt≻
You've prrroven far more useful than I imagined. If you bring me three more treasures I'm sure I can find something else to give you. Just be quicker on the uptake next time!≺Prompt≻
