The game picks one. They are alternatives, in the order it prefers them.
Only when the player is racegroup_dwarf
What’s this? A dwarf of all things, come to the camp of the alchemist, Yogek? In Sinang Hallow? Unthinkable! No, no - laughable! Aha! But here you stand…

If True
What is it you’re after - salts, secrets? No, no, no. So misplaced, you must be chasing something stranger still.
Indulge me.
Only while “Ask the villagers what can be done about the creature blocking the pass” is failed in Between a rock and a hard place
Iago sent me. A beast blocks Bisawa’s trade route - and my way out.
And Iago thinks I, Yogek, holds an answer? He’s wrong - I’ve at least three!
I have a solvent, yes - free to you, for the trade must flow for me to gather what I need. But I cannot see to the beast - my current work binds me here.
- Gives Incomplete Mixture
The Maguluhan, the Mysterious Flower - blue, grows in the darkness of fresh water. Strange little thing, but it will certainly do something to your beast.
The Kam-Gu, the Vine of Chaos - purple, found in corrupted lands. That one… oh, it will be violent.
Finally, there's the Tahisu, the Blossom of Serenity - blazing orange, up in the high places. That one is sure to sooth the creature. Surely it will spare it from any harm, surely.

The Vine of Chaos grows in corrupted lands? That sounds like Kimashi spores to me.

If True
*His eyes widen with polite surprise.* A Dwarf, speaking of Kimashi spores? Remarkable, truly!
Yet you are right - they’ve crept here from the Garako Wetlands. A grave trouble for my hollow.

If False
Yes… you’re right. The Kimashi spores, they’ve drifted here - all the way from the Garako Wetlands into my forest. Troubling, deeply troubling.
I'm no fan of mysteries. Tell me the effects of the Maguluhan.
*The hermit laughs hysterically.* No. No, I'm sorry I can not.
But I swear it will not kill the creature.

So I should check the cliffs for this Blossom of Serenity?
Cliffs? NO! The Blossom of Serenity thrives higher - always higher. So what better habitat for a Tahisu? The floating lands above, of course!
Born from bubble-dew exploding out of the ground, throwing whole chunks of land skyward. My first camp went that way - pfft, gone!
- Runs AddJournalEntryNode
That is all I need to know.
Good, good - then we’re done here. The solvent’s yours, find a use for it and be gone before my thoughts scatter once more!

I'm seeking an answer to the beast blocking the path.
And you think I, Yogek, holds an answer? You're mistaken - I’ve at least three!
I have a solvent, yes - free to you, for the trade must flow for me to gather what I need. But I cannot see to the beast - my current work binds me here.

Only after the player has spoken to the speaker
You’ve found me again, yes, yes. The forest enjoys our chatter.

What’s this? A stranger comes to the camp of the alchemist, Yogek? In Sinang Hollow? Unthinkable! No, no - laughable! Aha! But here you stand…
Only while the quest is at the authored phase
Ahh, still empty-handed? Then my wisdom has run dry for you - for now. Unless… no, no, unless there’s more you need?
Only while the quest is at the authored phase
Ingredients at last! Delightful. But they won’t brew themselves - best you get to it.
The conversation ends
Only when all of these hold:
Only while Between a rock and a hard place is succeeded
Only while the quest holds the authored value
The pass is open? Hah! Then the trade flows again - roots, reagents, resins, all mine to pluck. Ohh, my shelves will sing once more!
The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:
If True
But Bisawa, oh, they’re not so pleased with you, are they? Ha! Their loss, not mine. The old elf laughs boisterously.
The conversation ends
If False
The conversation ends
Only when all of these hold:
Only while Between a rock and a hard place is succeeded
Only while the quest holds the authored value
You drove the beast wild! Bisawa is gone, gone! Oh, foolish stranger, my methods may have spared them!
Ahh, what sorrow - poor Yogek suffers most of all! No Bisawa, no trade, no rare ingredients. Yes, yes, a great tragedy… for Yogek.
The conversation ends
Only while Between a rock and a hard place is unstarted
Oh! A guest - no, sorry, no - you'll have to excuse me, I - I’m on the edge of something, yes, something splendid! No time, no time…
The conversation ends
Only while Between a rock and a hard place is unstarted
Ohh, I’d talk more, truly! But the coral whispered a formula, and I’ve got to write before it fades.

What the player can raise (1)
The game offers every topic whose requirement is met, in the order it prefers them.
Only while the quest is at the authored phase
I have some questions about the ingredients I need to find.
