Dunstan |
<pc>,
seeing you and my dear Gemma all set for your big day makes me proud as
anything—both as a mayor and as a grandfather. |
Dunstan |
You're not
kids any more, you know—no, you're grown-up now, and that means going to the
Tor and offering your thanks. |
Dunstan |
Now, it's time
you were on your way. Head up to the top, give praise to the Spirit of the
Land, then come back down and tell us how you like the view! |
Dunstan |
Oh, and if you're
ever unsure what to do next, try pressing
and selecting Party Talk. Gemma might have some useful tips for you! |
Amber |
Just look at
you, <pc>! My little boy, all grown-up! |
Amber |
Now, be sure
to look after Gemma, you hear? To think, you've been inseparable since you
were tiny, and here you are, about to climb the Tor together! |
Amber |
Oh, and if
ever you lose your way, just follow Sandy. That dog's got more sense than any
of us! |
Amber |
Off you go
now, dear! I know the two of you will be just fine! And I'll make sure
there's a delicious supper waiting for you when you get back! |
Dunstan |

Off you go
now, dear! I know the two of you will be just fine! And I'll make sure
there's a delicious supper waiting for you when you get back! |
|
*: To think
you and Gemma are all grown-up already! I can remember you two littluns
haring round the place causing trouble like it was yesterday! Ahh, time
flies, it really does! |
|
*: Oh, dearie
me! Where can that boy have got to this time? |
|
*: I just hope
he hasn't decided to go up the Tor on his own. No, he wouldn't be that
stupid, surely? Ahh, he'll be the death of me, that one! |
|
*: Hold on
there, young <pc>! Where do you think you're off to? You haven't been up
the Tor yet, have you? |
|
*: It's back
the other way, as you well know! I don't want to see you again till you've
climbed it! |
|
*: The symbols
on the side of the Tor represent the Spirit of the Land, you know. The Spirit
has always watched over the people of Cobblestone. |
|
*: The
coming-of-age ceremony is one of the ways we show our gratitude for its
protection. |
|
*: You know,
I'm not sure I've ever seen the two of you apart! And to think you're all
grown-up already! Are those wedding bells I hear? Hee hee! |
Gemma |
Grandma!
Honestly! |
|
*: Oh, let an
old woman have her fun, will you? Now, <pc>—you look after my lovely
grandaughter, you hear! |
|
*: The path gets
pretty steep up on the Tor, so be sure to watch your footing! |
|
*: But don't
let that make you stick to the beaten track—little detours are where you find
all the fun stuff! |
|
*: So, it's time
for you to head up the Tor, I hear! Mind you don't slip—it's a long way down! |
Gemma |
Oh, don't
worry! <pc> would never let me fall! |
|
*: Ahh, what
would you do without him, eh? Well <pc>, you heard the lady—make sure
she comes to no harm! |
|
*: The path
ahead will at times be a steep one, but fear not, my children, for the Spirit
of the Land shall watch over you. |
|
*: May your
climb teach you how truly blessed we are to live among such beautiful
surroundings. We will pray for your safe return. |
|
*: We've all
been through it, you know. We've all climbed to the top of the Tor. I
remember it like it was yesterday... |
|
*: But I can't
tell you what I found up there. No, that's something you'll just have to find
out for yourselves. |
|
*: Good luck,
<pc>! |
|
*: I wish I
was a grown-up like you! I can't wait to climb the Tor! |
|
*: You know the
Mayor and your mother are waiting to see you off at the top of the steps,
don't you? Don't keep them waiting, dear! |
|
*: Oh, and
remember—if you're ever in need of some advice or you're stuck for what to
do, have a chat with folks with pretty pink speech bubbles above their heads
like me. |
|
*: Just
press and look at the map—you can't
miss us! |
|
*: While
you're looking at the map, use to
change the direction you're facing. It's a handy little trick, trust me! |
|
*: Cor! Just look
at that view! It's beautiful, isn't it? |
|
*: Whenever
you find somewhere with lovely scenery like this, you should take the time to
stop and bask in the wonder of nature—it always does me the power of good! |
Gemma |
M-More monsters!
But I don't think they've spotted you yet. You should sneak up and try and
surprise them! |
Gemma |
Hold on
<pc>, we can't call it a day yet! We've got to get up to the top and do
the ceremony thing! |
|
<pc> and
Gemma make their way back to the bottom of the Tor. |
Gemma |
Where are you
going now? The ceremony's over! Everyone'll be waiting for us! |
|
*: My Cole
told me everything! He told me how you fought off those horrible foggy
monsters! I don't know how to thank you! |
|
*: And you and
Gemma aren't hurt either! Oh, that's such a relief! |
Cole |
I'm sorry,
Gemma. I thought it would be funny to jump out and surprise you. I, I'm an
idiot... I'll never do it again, I promise! |
|
*: Well, the main
thing is that everyone's alright. You can never be too careful with monsters
around. We owe you one, <pc>—and Gemma and Sandy too! |
Sandy |
Woof! Woof
woof! |
Gemma |
Thanks for
bringing Cole back safely, Sandy! Good girl! I knew you could do it! |
|
*: That
lightning was terrifying! Were you lot alright up there? I'm ever so sorry
you poor things had to go through such an awful ordeal! |
|
*: So, you did
it—you've been to the top of the Tor! Well, you'd better let the Mayor know! |
|
*: Everyone'll
be desperate to hear how you got on up there! Don't keep them waiting, will
you? |
|
*: When the
lightning struck the Tor, I must confess that I feared for your safety. But
it seems that you escaped unharmed. |
|
*: Truly, we must
give thanks to the Spirit of the Land, who watches over us all! |
|
*: Yay! You're
back, you're back! Your mum said to tell you she's gone home to make your
tea. |
|
*: That lightning
was so scary! The sky flashed and there was this big bang! BOOOM! |
|
*: Oi, where
d'you fink you're goin'? Yer mum's waitin' for ya! I'd 'ead 'ome sharpish if
I were you! |
|
*: You don't want
to go wandering around out there—you'll end up as a monster's dinner! You
want to be heading home. |
Sandy |
Woof! Woof! |
|
A curious
power emanates from the root wrapped around the tree... |
|
*: Alright? A
little bird told me you an' yer mate Gemma went to the top o' the Tor an'
back. You ain't a little boy no more, <pc>—yer a man! |
|
*: So 'ere's
some advice, from one bloke to anuvver—whatever yer doin', enjoy it. No one knows
'ow long they've got, so make the most of it. |
|
*:
Cobblestone's well tucked away here in the valley. There aren't that many
people who even know this place exists, you know. |
|
*: And that's
why it's so lovely and safe. The monsters don't tend to bother us, and we get
to live in peace and quiet. Lovely! |
|
*: You did
well, both of you! You're not children any more—you're grown-ups! Welcome to
the club! |
|
*: Well,
well—if it isn't Cobblestone's newest grown-ups! Were you looking for the
Mayor? He's at home at the moment. |
|
*: Listen, I
probably shouldn't be saying this, but he's been worried sick about you,
Gemma. Well, it's only natural, I suppose—he is your grandad, after all. |
|
*: Look at my
lovely horse! He's the loveliest horse in the whole village! |
|
*: Hello
there, young <pc>! Do you know what's good? Prayer, that's what! You
should get down to the church every chance you get! |
|
*: Every time
I pray, I feel all my troubles slipping away. It'll make a new man of you,
take my word for it! |
|
*: I'm afraid
my horses don't have a lot of get-up-and-go at the minute. They're too busy
enjoying this delicious grass! Mm-mm! |
|
*: Nice work, Mister
Grown-Up! Now, yer dear old mum'll be waitin' for ya, I reckon. 'Urry 'ome
an' tell her all about yer adventures! |
|
*: Come on in,
<pc>! The water's lovely! |
Sandy |
Woof! Woof! |
|
It's chewing contentedly
on a great big mouthful of grass. |
|
*: Yaaay! I
love playing in the water! |
|
*: Tee hee! We
were just talking about you and Gemma! ...What's that? What were we saying?
Oh, nothing! Tee hee hee! |
|
*: Ooh, if it
isn't young <pc>! Make sure you're nice to Gemma, you hear? She's a
keeper, that one! |
Gemma |
Not this
again! |
|
*: Ooh, just
look at your face! You've gone all red! Ohh, to be young again! |
|
*: I'd love to
visit Heliodor one day. They say there's always something going on there. |
|
*: Apparently,
it's always bustling with people, and the shops are full of all kinds of
lovely things. Not like boring old Cobblestone! |
|
*: So the ceremony's
all done? Congratulations! Now, don't tell me you've forgotten where you live
in all the excitement? |
|
*: Just follow
the paving stones—you'll soon find your way back. Ooh, but you must be tired
to be forgetting that! You should head home and put your feet up! |
|
*: It's
amazing when you think about it, isn't it? That Yggdrasil, the World Tree,
has watched over Erdrea since the dawn of time. |
|
*: They say
that the tree here has been around for as long as Yggdrasil. I don't know if that's
true, but there's something special about it, right enough. |
|
*: Hey,
<pc>! You don't want to be wandering around outside the village after
the day you've had! You need to be getting home! |
|
*: I'll always
remember you when you were little, going fishing with old Chalky. |
|
*: You'd sit
there for hours on that funny three-sided rock out by the Falls, just the two
of you... |
|
*: He would
have been so proud to see how big and strong you've grown. Seems like only yesterday
you were knee-high to a grasshopper! |
|
*: Alright,
<pc>? What are you and Gemma up to, eh? |
Gemma |
We just got
back from climbing the Tor! |
|
*: Ah, so
that's where you've been, is it? Well, it's nice that you got to go up there together,
eh? |
|
*: If you want
to get somewhere in a hurry, what you need is a horse. They're faster than
people by a long old shot! |
|
*: But you
know that already, being a better rider than most, eh? Nice, manly pursuit,
riding. Very grown-up. |
|
*: Greetings,
my child. It is good to see the younger members of my flock taking the time
to pray. Now, shall we begin? |
|
*: It's all
thanks to the Spirit of the Land, you know—you coming back from the Tor safe
and sound, the village being so peaceful for so long... |
|
*: I think
this would be the perfect time for you to offer up a prayer of thanks, don't
you? |
Dunstan |
Now that
you've climbed the Tor, I'm pleased to say that you and Gemma are fully
fledged Cobblestonians! |
Dunstan |
Now all you
need to do is settle down together and live happily ever after! |
Gemma |
Grandad!
Honestly! |
|
*: You're my
hero, <pc>! You saved my little boy! I'm so glad you and Gemma got back
safely! |
Cole |
Thanks for
clobbering those stupid monsters! When I grow up, I'm going to be big and
tough, just like you! |
|
*: Ahh, I
remember climbing the Tor all those years ago! Back then, I was young, single
and free... Great days, great days! |
|
*: Monsters appearing
on our sacred tor, of all places... |
|
*: And they
say there are more of the blighters running around outside the village than
ever before. I don't like this one little bit. |
Amber |
Having trouble
sleeping, are we? Well, it's no surprise after all the excitement today. And
your big news. |
Amber |
Whenever I
have trouble nodding off, I like to go for a little walk. The night air
always does me a power of good. |
|
The door is
locked. |
|
*: Oi, where
d'you fink you're goin'? It's too late for fishin', sunshine! Save it till
the mornin'! |
|
*: A little
walk to clear your head's all well and good <pc>, but not outside the
village. You wouldn't want to bump into any monsters. |
|
*: I saw your mate
Gemma over by the old tree. She was lookin' a bit sorry for 'erself. Maybe
you should go an' 'ave a word, eh? |
|
*: Out for a
little evening stroll, are we? Well, make sure you don't stray outside the
village—there be monsters! |
|
*: Oi! Where
do ya fink yer goin', <pc>? Everyone's waitin' for ya up at the north
entrance! |
Cole |
I heard you're
going all the way to Heliodor! Can I come with you? Please? Pleeease? |
Cole |
...Fine. I suppose
I am a bit young still. Well, be careful—it's a long journey. My dad says you
have to head north and just keep going! |
Cole |
And he says
it's full of all kinds of people—way more than you see in Cobblestone. Ahh, I
can't wait to grow up and see it for myself! |
|
*: Poor Gemma!
She just can't stop crying! But she said she'd put on a brave face to say
goodbye to you—whoops! I wasn't meant to tell you that! |
|
*: I can't believe
you're leaving us so soon. Well, make sure you stock up on items and weapons
for the journey. |
|
*: Oh, and
remember—there's no point just carrying equipment around with you. Make sure
you equip it! |
|
*: Before you
head off, you really should have a quick pray. With all those monsters out
there, you'll be wanting some protection from a higher power. |
|
*: And if you
make a quick record of your adventure, you'll be miraculously whisked back to
the church where you made it if you happen to come a cropper! |
|
*: So yer
leavin' us for a bit, eh? Well, they're all up at the north entrance waitin'
to wave you off. Better get up there. We'll miss ya, sunshine! |
|
*: Sorry,
<pc>. The old fellers here are busy eating their beloved grass. I don't
think they'll be moving any time soon. |
|
*: Ooh, just
look at you! You look just like Chalky did at your age! |
|
*: I'll never
forget the day he set off to explore the world... And now here you are, following
in his footsteps! |
|
*: I heard all
about it from your mother—she said there's an important journey you have to
make. And you just a youngster! |
|
*: Well,
before you head off, make sure you visit the shop. You know where it is, of course—down
this slope and across the river. |
|
*: Once you've
stocked up, head up to the village entrance to the north. We'll all be
waiting to see you off! |
Sandy |
Woof woof! |
Gemma |
What's the
matter, girl? Is someone there? |
Gemma |
I, I'm sorry.
I don't want to speak to anyone right now. Could you come back in a bit? |
|
*: Ever since
she heard you were leaving, Gemma's been cooped up indoors. I wonder what
she's doing in there... |
|
*: I don't
know much about fighting, but I've heard that the best way to get big and
strong is to wallop lots of monsters and build up your experience. |
|
*: But if you
realise you've picked a fight with a monster that's tougher than you, there's
no shame in running away! |
|
*: Be sure to do
some shopping before you go. I'd recommend stocking up on medicinal herbs. |
|
*: If you get
hurt from too much fighting, you can use them to heal yourself. Wouldn't go
anywhere without at least a couple if I were you. |
|
*: 'Ere's some
advice, from one bloke to anuvver—keep yer mind on the job! No matter 'ow
fierce the fightin' gets, ya gotta stay focused! |
|
*: The more ya
get walloped, the more focused you'll get. An' before ya know it, you'll be
all pepped up! Then you'll really be full o' beans! |
|
*: When yer
pepped up, you'll be stronger, faster, better at everyfing—there ain't
another feelin' like it! Go on, my son—get out there an' pep yerself silly! |
|
*: So you're
leaving good old Cobblestone, are you? Well, make sure you've got all the
essentials before you set off. |
|
*: So you're
leaving good old Cobblestone, are you? Well, make sure you've got all the
essentials before you set off. |
|
*: If you'd
like to do some shopping, head round to the other side of the counter. |
|
*: So you are
setting out into the world, my child. Perhaps a little prayer before you
depart? |
|
*: Just
because you're setting out on a journey, that doesn't mean you can't pop home
for a visit whenever you like. |
|
*: If you ever
get hurt or you're in need of a rest, there's no place like home, that's what
I always say. I'm sure your comfy old bed will always be waiting for you! |
Amber |
So, this is it.
My little soldier's really leaving... |
Amber |
You might not
be back for a while. Hope you've said all your goodbyes. So...ready?<yesno
2> |
Amber |
Well, hurry
up, will you? We don't want to be standing round here all day. |
Amber |
Well...off you
go then... |
|
*: Oh-ho! Hold
on a second! |
|
*: I wouldn't
go through here if I were you. The monsters up that way'll make mincemeat of
you! |
|
*: If it's
Heliodor you're trying to get to, you need to head north, anyway. |
|
*: W-Wait! |
|
*: You don't
want to be going anywhere near the Manglegrove! The monsters in there will
have your guts for garters! No, if you're headed for Heliodor, you need to go
straight there. |
|
*: Hang about—you
shouldn't go any further. The monsters up there are a proper nasty bunch. |
|
*: You'll be
wanting to go north if you're heading for Heliodor. Mind how you go now! |
|
*: Ah,
<pc>! There you are! The Mayor asked me to teach you a thing or two
about horses—and maps, too, for that matter! |
|
*: Now, you
see this bell here? Well, if you give it a ring, a fine steed will gallop up
out of nowhere, just like that! Good to remember if your feet are getting
sore! |
|
*: And what if
you're lost as well as tired? Easy! Just press to take a look at your map. What's more,
pressing once you've got your map open
will allow you to access all sorts of useful information! |
|
*: I'm sure
all this is written in the list of Traveller's Tips in your pack there, but
you can't go over these things too often. |
|
*: I'm here to
stop anyone from wandering too close to the Emerald Coast. There's some nasty
monsters up there, you see. |
|
*: If it's
Heliodor you're heading for, you need to go north, anyway. |
|
*: Ah! Setting
off on your big adventure, are you, <pc>? |
|
*: You'll be
wanting to go north if you're heading for Heliodor. Mind how you go now! |
|
*: I've been sent
from Heliodor Castle to make sure no one passes this way. |
|
*: The
monsters up on the Emerald Coast are nasty pieces of work. I'm not to let
anyone go anywhere near them. |
|
*: Oh-ho! I suppose
you're here for another little lecture on the joys of camping, are
you?<yesno> |
|
*: ...Oh. Umm,
well if you do ever fancy a recap, you know where to find me. |
|
*: It would be
my pleasure! Listen up, and I'll take you through the basics again! |
|
*: To set up
camp for the night, just go up to the fire and examine it. You'll soon be
enjoying a well-earned break. |
|
*: The statues
you'll find at campsites are chock-full of holy powers. You can pray to them
to be cured of poison and all kinds of other things. Think of them as mini
churches! |
|
*: You'll need
to get used to what campsites look like and how to find them. After all, you'll
be relying on them whenever you're out in the wilderness. |
|
*: It's like
my dad always said: keen campers can continue on where others can't! Be
prepared! |
|
*: Have you
come far? Well, you're safe now—Heliodor awaits! |
|
*: Once you're
in the city, you can find a nice inn and rest up. Lucky old you! |
|
*: Welcome to
Heliodor! |
|
*: This is the
largest city in all of Erdrea, you know. You should head downtown for a look
at the...livelier side of life here if you get the chance! |
|
*: Welcome to
Cobblest— Hold on! It's <pc>! You're back! |
|
*: Shouldn't
you be heading to Heliodor? Just leave the village and then keep going north.
You can't miss it! |
Gemma |
I don't know what
this big journey of yours is all about, but wherever you end up, make sure
you don't forget us back here in Cobblestone. |
Gemma |
Come back as
soon as you can, you hear? I'll be waiting... |
Gemma |
You've still got
the charm I gave you! I'm so happy! |
Gemma |
When I heard
you were leaving, I stayed up all night making it. I put my heart and soul
into that thing. |
Gemma |
Be sure to take
it with you wherever you go, won't you? And make sure you come home—I'll be
waiting... |
Gemma |
Ah-phew!
Ah-phew! <pc>... Stay safe... Promise me... |
Sandy |
Woof woof! |
|
*: Oh, so you
came back! Well, if you're heading off again, be sure to visit the church
before you go. |
Cole |
Yay! It's
<pc>! But why did you come back so soon? |
Cole |
Wait, I know!
You wanted to see Gemma again, didn't you? She's been looking really sad ever
since you left... |
Cole |
Zzz... Zzz... |
|
*: Doesn't my
lovely horse ride like a dream! Best in the village, that one! Look after
him, won't you? |
|
*: Ooh, you're
a fine young man! You don't let anything faze you, do you? I know you're going
to be just fine! |
|
*: We all miss
you, of course, but we know this is something you have to do. Make us proud,
won't you? |
|
*: To think
that Chalky knew you were the reincarnation of the Luminary and he kept it a
secret all those years! |
|
*: And now you
climb the Tor and you're off to fulfil your destiny, all in a matter of days!
Come home for a rest if it all gets too much, won't you? |
|
*: Ah-phew...
Ah-phew... |
|
*: Word to the
wise—don't go pickin' fights wiv monsters that're tougher than you. I got
into a few scrapes in me younger days, an' I've still got the scars to show
for it. |
|
*: Be sure to
look after yourself, won't you? Poor Gemma would be devastated if anything
were to happen to you. |
|
*: Ahh, the
water's so lovely and cool! Yay for water! |
|
*: Ah-phoo...
Ah-phoo... |
|
*: I love
playing in the water! |
|
*: Zzz...
Zzz... |
|
*: Oh, if it
isn't <pc>! Are you heading up to the Tor? Well, watch out for
monsters! |
|
*: The Mayor's
got some nerve, expecting a reward from the King! Honestly! What is he like? |
|
*: I suppose
he's got a point, though. We did bring up the Luminary, after all! |
|
*: Not in town
for long, I take it? Well, you be careful out there. And don't be a stranger! |
|
*: In this
world, you have to rely on yourself. And you have to be prepared for
anything. |
|
*: Make sure
you're never caught without medicinal herbs, you hear? They can be the
difference between life and death in a pinch. |
Amber |
Awww, if it
isn't my little soldier! But what are you doing back so soon? You've only
just left! |
Amber |
Not that I'm complaining,
of course. You're always welcome to come home and rest up! Go on, then—off to
bed with you! |
Amber |
Morning, love!
You'd best be on your way before I get all weepy again! |
Amber |
What is it,
<pc>? Getting cold feet about your big adventure or
something?<yesno> |
Amber |
That's my boy!
Never forget that you're the pride of the village—so go and do your
grandfather proud! |
Amber |
Well, I can
understand that. I mean, I don't want you to go either. But you have to. It's
your destiny. |
Amber |
Now, off you
go, my little soldier! You go and put Cobblestone on the map! |
Dunstan |
They say that
the original Luminary banished the darkness that threatened the world. He was
a true hero. |
Dunstan |
I'm still
having trouble believing that you're really him reincarnated, but if old
Chalky said so, he must have been sure. |
Dunstan |
Well, whatever
lies ahead of you, I've got a funny feeling it's going to be something
extraordinary. |
|
*: Oh, you're
back. Well, I hope you've visited your mother. |
|
*: Ah-phew...
Ah-phew... |
|
*: I'll
warrant there are a fair few monsters lying in wait on the road to Heliodor.
If I were you, I'd stock up with all the supplies you can carry. |
|
*: Sorry,
could I ask you to head round to the other side of the counter if you want to
buy something? |
|
*: If you're
headed somewhere in a hurry, a horse is always your best bet. No matter how
you look at it, humans have got nothing on horses! |
|
*: But I don't
need to tell you that—you're one of the best riders in the village! |
|
*:
Ah-heurgh...! Ah-heurgh...! |
|
*: My child,
do you mean to leave us once again? Perhaps a prayer before you go? |
|
*: So you're
back? Well, I do hope you've paid a visit to your mother. |
|
*: Ah-phew!
Ah-phew! |
|
*: Leaving
behind those you love and travelling the world is tough. I know—I did it
myself a long time ago. |
|
*: Ah, so you decided
to pop back, did you? Well, good for you. You don't want to go pushing
yourself too hard. |
|
*: Zzz...
(snort) Zzz... |
|
*: S'pose
you'll be 'ittin' the road again soon, eh? Well, more power to ya! |
|
*: I remember
when you were a little boy, you know. You were always going off fishing with
your grandfather. You two were inseparable! |
|
*: Well, now
you're ready to stand on your own two feet at last. Chalky would be proud of
you, I know he would. |
|
*: Sorry, but
this area's off limits. Now, if you wouldn't mind clearing off... |
|
*: Eh!? How
did you get in here? This area's off limits! Clear off, will you? |
|
*: If you have
business with the King, I'm afraid you've left it a little late. You'll have
to come back in the morning. |
|
It seems it's
too late to visit the castle tonight. Wait until morning?<yesno> |
|
*: Welcome to
Heliodor, greatest city in all Erdrea. Please, make yourself at home. |
|
*: Oh, and if
you're wondering about that white speech bubble above my friend's head...
Well, that just means he's got nothing else to say right now. People get like
that sometimes, you know. |
|
*: So where are
you from, then? ...What's that? Cobblestone, you say? Where's that, then?
Down south? Never heard of it! |
|
*: With all
those mountains and valleys down south, it's hard to know what's what. I've
never heard of Cobblestone, but I'm sure it's lovely. |
|
*: I haven't
seen you round here before. ...Hm? You're here to see the King, you say? |
|
*: Well, you
won't find him round here! You'd better head to the castle. Go straight up
this road, climb the steps, keep going and Bob's your uncle! |
|
*: Just
remember that they shut the gates as soon as the sun goes down—the King needs
his sleep, you know. You're best off heading there bright and early if you
want an audience. |
|
*: The two top
knights up at the castle are Sir Jasper and Sir Hendrik. But if you ask me,
Sir Jasper's the best by a long way. Yes, he's the one for me! |
|
*: Sure, he's
not going to win any awards for friendliness, but who cares—he's a real
looker! And he's such a strategic genius, the King even asks his advice
sometimes! |
|
*: This
travelling salesman told me he's never seen so many monsters. Roaming all
over the place, they are. What is the world coming to? |
|
*: By the way,
if you see a white speech bubble like the one above the fellow in front of
me's head, it just means that person doesn't have anything else to say right
now. |
|
*: I've been
hearing from travelling merchants that there are more and more monsters out
there these days. What a terrible time to be alive... |
|
*: Heliodor's
a big place. If it's your first time here, you can expect to get lost. |
|
*: But if you're
not sure where you are, you can always press
and check the map. |
|
*: Downtown
Heliodor's a hive of waifs, strays, drifters, cutpurses and ne'er-do-wells.
Mind you stay well clear! |
|
*: You can't
go through here—it's far too rough for law-abiding folks. I'd strongly advise
you to head elsewhere. |
|
*: Everyone
knows their place in Heliodor—the riff-raff and rabble live in the slums,
while the well heeled live uptown. The nicest area is up the stairs. That's
where you'll find the castle. |
|
*: When the
monsters attacked Dundrasil, it was Sir Hendrik and his men who fought them
back. He's the mightiest warrior in the whole kingdom. |
|
*: They say
the King was surrounded by the enemy, but Sir Hendrik came to his rescue.
He's been known as the Hero of Heliodor ever since. |
|
*: You see
that big swanky house over there? Well, it belongs to some rich and
slightly...vulgar stranger. He just turned up one day, bought the land and
had it built, the showy blighter! |
|
*: Goodness knows
where he got the money, but that rich fellow just turned up, bought a prime
plot of land and had a huge house built, the great big show-off! |
|
*: Heliodor is a fine place to live. It's safe, it's clean and everyone's happy. We owe it all to the King. Three cheers for King |
