- Finding a dark secret of history is like finally prying loose a shred of meat from your teeth.
- Hmmm. I hadn't thought of it that way, and I agree.
- Traveler
- I despise him. I loathe him. I simultaneously want to spit on him and punch him in the face. And he probably feels the same about me.
- Who?
- Don't worry about it.
- If those pirates come here, quaggan is going to tear and bite them.
- That would satisfy like nothing else, but take care not to enrage.
- Out here in the open air, that's where the knowledge is.
- That knowledge is useless unless you preserve it.
- Scrolls have their place, but they are useless without experience to give them context.
- When he laughs, I want to punch my shield. There's something about it that makes me nuts.
- Does it sound forced?
- Yeah, it's like a dimwitted cackle.
- Priory Scholar
- Long ago, Lornar's Pass was so thick with dwarves that people hired guides to get through.
- Difficult to believe.
- Just look for the ruins. You'll see.
- The wages here are good. Much better than I could get on the farm.
- And yet, some people still come here just looking for a big score.
- Most folks don't understand the value of hard work.
- They don't understand the owners will hunt down anyone who steals gems.
- How far back does the history here go?
- Hundreds of years. In some cases, a thousand or more.
- Written history spanning hundreds of years? It seems an inefficient way to pass on knowledge.
- We could repaint that thing.
- What a waste of time. I'll never understand why people care about appearance.
- It's more than appearance. Paint protects the wood, too.
- That thing already has paint. You just want a different color.
- The paint is peeling.
- No it isn't.
- Priory Scholar
- Priory Explorer
- I had a brainstorm. I can revolutionize our transcription process.
- Excellent. Describe your process to me.
- It's simple and elegant. We dip stone tablets in ink and press them against vellum.
- Hmm. Wouldn't that transfer the tablet's raised letters to the vellum...backwards?
- A few more mugs and I'll be ready for the hunt.
- What are we hunting today? Griffons? Dredge?
- Who knows? They all look the same to me after five mugs of ale.
- Remember when that norn threw you into a wall?
- Yeah, he even shifted to a bear. Every organ in my body felt that.
- I'll never drink that much again.
- You always say that.
- Doodaar
- Quaggan is in the mood for frog legs. Would you like to go on a hunt?
- Later. Quaggan is busy right now, thinking.
- You know why catapults are superior siege engines?
- Because the bigger they are, the better they are?
