- Have some optimism.
- It's rude to ask for help and then nitpick it. If that Lionguard's so concerned about our work, he can pick up a shovel himself and lend a hand.
- I understand. I'm in the Priory, too.
- Just ignore him.
- By whom?
- Oh, good. I've had all sorts of brainless hack 'n slash types try to interfere with this dig. Particularly Lionguard losers who resent having to bother with us.
- What's their problem?
- They just have to deal with it.
- They used to be all about protecting the Lion Road. Now they're all about fighting the dragons, so if the Lion Road has a problem, they get annoyed that they have to deal with it.
- The dragons are a pretty intense threat.
- How obnoxious! Those whiny idiots.
- That sounds annoying.
- True, but it doesn't mean they can ditch the rest of their duties when people are counting on them for safety. And it doesn't mean they can nag us when we're trying to make it easier on them.
- Agreed.
- We were called in here specifically to help them with their little problem, and they act like WE'RE inconveniencing THEM. Oh, well. I guess everyone's on edge these days.
- True. Still, I don't blame you for being mad.
- As times get harder, fewer and fewer travelers are coming through here. Even with havens all over the Lion Road, it's still too dangerous to venture beyond your front door.
- We must all reach the unreachable.
- Hard times pass.
- You know. You witnessed it, didn't you?
- We must imagine the unimaginable. Keep quiet. As you may already be aware, the Order has been secretly influencing the operations of Captain Penzan and his crew, so that once Taidha's removed, he can take over.
- Establishing a puppet king?
- Not clearly.
- Essentially. He doesn't know he's a puppet, though. Anyway, I've been reporting on Captain Penzan's behavior, finding outside information I can sneak to our agent on the inside.
- What have you found?
- Well, Penzan's quite the character. He was hopelessly in love with Taidha Covington for years. She led him on for her own gain, then vanished to continue her pursuit of power.
- Pirates aren't known for their kindness.
- My pirate earrings are like my trophies, tokens from each of those scoundrels I've killed. Someday, I'll have enough to fill an entire chest with them.
- That is disgusting. Show some restraint.
- Tangible measurement of your successes in battle. Good plan!
- That's gruesome.
- That's...nice for you.
- Then you're not meant to know just yet. All things in their time.
- Life is gruesome. Look around you. These past years have been nothing but one, long, continuous bloodbath. You fight or you die.
- You're negative and also creepy. I'm done here.
- Yeah, well, you fight enough battles, you start to lose touch with morality. Walk in my boots and then judge me.
- I'll just judge you now. That's gross.
- Exactly! You understand where I'm coming from. My fellow Lionguard fight just as fiercely as I do, but treat me like a monster for taking pride in it. I need to work with more norn.
- You should consider a transfer up north.
- Wherever the undead go, they bring horror and death with them. The poor creatures of our world stand little chance.
- Those of us who are stronger than them must protect them.
- We'll all get through it somehow.
- It was Glint's egg, wasn't it?
- I've dedicated my life to doing just that. In the Priory, the research we do saves lives. But it's hard not to let it get to you.
- You're helping as best you can.
- The solutions to today's problems can be gleaned from the solutions to yesterday's problems.
- As a member of the Priory, I'm interested in your research.
- That's somewhat cryptic.
- That's lovely. Good-bye.
- The last one intact. It's been in stasis since her death. The Master of Peace is taking it where it will be safe and allowed to hatch.
