Dialogue

Sub-quest Dialogue

So, we cross paths again.
Perhaps it is fate.
I was planning to follow the coastline,
yet as I rounded a rocky headland I came upon a great castle.
A castle in a place like this...?
I pray it is not overrun with monsters.
You seem capable.
Could you scout it and make sure it's safe?

Sub-quest Dialogue (Alt)

You seem capable.
Could you scout it and make sure it's safe?

Sub-quest Completion

No hostiles nearby? Good.
Sneaking past won't be a problem then.
My thanks, Adventurer.
Here—take this. Just a little something.
Nothing serves better when you need to make a quick escape.
I shall take my leave.
Take care of yourself.
I have a feeling we shall meet again.
