• What are you excavating here, anyway?
• We're excavating a rather large cache of artifacts that once belonged to ancient Krytan pirates. It's very exciting.
• What kind of artifacts?
• What happened to the pirates?
• Everyone says that, but he doesn't seem that way to me. He's quite brilliant, you know, and a renowned archaeologist.
• What's the excavation for?
• He mentioned some shallywonk tale?
• Mostly trinkets and some jewels. There's also quite a bit of currency, but most of it isn't accepted for trade any longer.
• That doesn't sound like much of a treasure. Why so much effort?
• Why is there so much treasure here?
• For knowledge! We've learned so much about these pirates already. Oh, and then there's the curse.
• Curse?
• What happened to these pirates? Why do they haunt this place?
• Oh, the curse? Some think that we've disturbed the spirits that guard the treasure.
• Ghosts? Is it safe?
• Have they tried to stop you from taking their treasure?
• Not really. They don't bother us inside the camp, but they guard the perimeter quite aggressively.
• They must think they're still alive. What could they be guarding?
• What about these chests?
• If you open a chest, you're sure to meet the original owner. It's terrifying, but the sooner we finish the sooner we can leave.
• If it's so terrifying, why do you continue?
• What did happen to original owners?
• It seems that the pirates were using this place as a fortification of sorts. They stashed quite a bit of treasure here.
• You gain health every second.
• What kind of treasure did they stash?
• That part isn't clear yet. The professor thinks they were wiped out by Lion's Arch. I think they were betrayed.
• Do you know why they were here?
• Why do you think they were betrayed?
• Well, most spirits move on after death. But if they were wronged or have unfinished business, then they linger.
• Is that why they say this place is cursed?
• Do these lingering spirits leave you alone?
• Mad Memoires V: Betrothed
• Can you tell me what the Durmand Priory is doing here?
• What's going on with these chests?
• Actually, I think I've heard everything I need hear.
• You sure helped out a lot around here. I guess that warrants a thank you. So there it is.
• Is there anything else I can do for you?
• You're welcome. I guess.
• Yes, now that you mention it. You could help my caravan of artifacts make it back to the Priory.
• Do you know where they are now?
• Power remaining in Orrian power orb:
• You could wait for next caravan that comes to take these artifacts back to the Priory. I don't know when that will be, though.
• Follow the road east. You're bound to run into them.
• Is there something I can do for you?
• Tell me what you do here.
• I was about to ask if I could help you.
• Right. Sorry I asked.
• I oversee the defense of this excavation.

• Do your excavations usually require defenses?
