Openers (7)

The game picks one. They are alternatives, in the order it prefers them.

Only when all of these hold:

That's far enough, {vemani}! {Dento} thought you were down here to clear the tombs, huh? Figured you'd get in with that line, steal some treasure and head out one of the back tunnels?

Why don't you just give me my grandpa %Ryoshi's% bow? And we won't have any problems.

The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:

If True

  • You accuse <i>me</i> of thievery while trying to fetch praise for my work?

    Yes. I saw you talking to {Michi}; that's why I followed you down here. My sister has always had a nagging habit of running her mouth to the {vemani} that pass through.

    She never did learn to be modest or reserved like me ... But this? This is a new low. Plotting with the outsiders and giving them access to our family history. Our legacy!

    After I'm finished with you, I'll have a talk with the elder about {Michi's} part in all this. Hopefully she can be banished to the forest she loves so dearly.

    Only after the player has spoken to the quest's character

    • I'm giving you one last chance to turn around and forget about this.

      Requires a High check of Strength

      Strange, I think I'm feeling fear ... All right, {vemani} ... you live for now, but watch your back. Once I gather the evidence against you I need, I will bring it to the elder. And both of you and {Michi} will be punished.

      The conversation ends

    • Your income and skill are too precious to your family to risk your life on a bow. You don't even hunt.

      Though I highly doubt you'd be able to take me, you are right. It's not worth the risk of dying at the hand of {sazzi} magic / sneaky, {vemani} fighting tactics. Unlike {Michi}, I strive to honor my family.

      ... All right, {vemani} ... you live for now, but watch your back. Once I gather the evidence against you I need, I will bring it to the elder. And both of you will be punished.

      The conversation ends

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • What would your mother ever do if this fight didn't go your way?

      Requires a Medium check of Speech

      As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. If this somehow went awry, or you used some of your {Sazziad} magic / sneaky, {vemani} fighting tactics, my mother would be ruined. It would push her over the edge ...

      All right, {vemani} ... you live for now, for my mother's sake. But you better grow eyes on the back of your head because once I gather the evidence against you I need, I will bring it to the elder. And both of you will be punished.

      The conversation ends

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • I'm getting this bow to {Michi}, as promised!

      Then I'm afraid you'll have to go through me, thief!

      • All right, all right. Let's calm down for a second.

        I'll give you one last chance to speak your piece, {vemani}. Any last words?

        Returns to an earlier point

      • [Attack] Well. When you put it like that.

        I KNEW YOU WERE FILTH!

        • Starts combat
    • You're willing to die for this bow?

      I'm willing to put down a {vemani} to retrieve what's rightfully mine, and I'll sleep better because of it. As if I'd burned some litter that blew in from the forest roads.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • [Give bow to {Judai}.] All right, it rightfully belongs to your family.

      That's good, outsider. Now get out of my family's tomb.

      • Changes a variable of something the compendium does not publish

      The conversation ends

    • [Attack] I've wanted to fight you since the moment I met you. And you've given me the opportunity. Fool.
    • [Leave] *Make a run for it.*

      You better hope you outrun me! Thief!

      • Starts combat
  • I'm retrieving it for your sister, {Michi}.
  • {Judai}? What are you doing here?
  • Did you follow me down here?
  • [Attack] I've wanted to fight you since the moment I met you. And you've given me the opportunity. Fool.

If False

  • You accuse <i>me</i> of thievery while trying to fetch praise for my work?

    Yes. I saw you talking to {Michi}; that's why I followed you down here. My sister has always had a nagging habit of running her mouth to the {vemani} that pass through.

    She never did learn to be modest or reserved like me. But this. This is a new low. Conspiring with the outsiders and giving them access to our family history. Our legacy.

    After I'm finished with you, I'll talk with the elder about {Michi's} part in all this. She can live out the rest of her days in that wide world she loves so dearly.

    Continues where this conversation already went

  • I was assigned to get this item.
  • I don't even know who you are.

    I'm to believe no one in {Garkai} has mentioned {Judai}, {Michi's} older brother? You may have heard of my legendary net handling.

    Either way, you've had the privilege now. And it's the last you'll privilege you'll ever be granted.

    • I'm retrieving it for your sister, {Michi}.

      Yes. I saw you talking to {Michi}; that's why I followed you down here. My sister has always had a nagging habit of running her mouth to the {vemani} that pass through.

      She never did learn to be modest or reserved like me ... But this? This is a new low. Plotting with the outsiders and giving them access to our family history. Our legacy!

      After I'm finished with you, I'll have a talk with the elder about {Michi's} part in all this. Hopefully she can be banished to the forest she loves so dearly.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • Do you stalk all the newcomers?

      Only the ones I see conspiring with my sister. {Michi} lives to humiliate our family. She's why father drinks. That ends today. I'm going to make an example out of both of you.

      Returns to an earlier point

    • [Attack] Oh yeah, I'm <i>really</i> going to enjoy this.
  • Do you stalk all the newcomers?

    Only the ones I see conspiring with my sister. {Michi} lives to humiliate our family. She's why father drinks. That ends today. I'm going to make an example out of both of you.

    Returns to an earlier point

  • [Attack] It's not wise to follow strangers into the dark!

Only when all of these hold:

That's far enough, thief!

After I dispose of you, I'll place my grandfather's bow back in the family tomb where it belongs! And I'll be sure I tell {Dento} how I came across your body while I was clearing out the monsters from the tombs.

Continues where this conversation already went

Only while the quest is at the authored phase

That's far enough, {vemani}! I see you've made yourself at home in our sacred tomb—even found a souvenir!

  • Changes a variable of something the compendium does not publish

Why don't you just give me my grandpa %Ryoshi's% bow? And we won't have any problems.

Continues where this conversation already went

Only after the player has spoken to the speaker

*The young adult {karu} chuckles to himself assuredly before greeting you.* Greetings, {Viasha}. No doubt you heard around the town of my masterful angling, and you've come here for advice on how to double or even triple your net's yield?

  • No, sorry. I actually had questions about other subjects.

    *Not having accounted for any other scenario than you affirming the paradigm he had put forth prior, the elf looks at you in almost dizzied for half a moment until mustering up something that almost didn't sound bored or disappointed.* Oh. Of course. I'm very busy with work, but I can spare a few moments, I suppose.

    The conversation ends

  • A fisherman <i>and</i> an egoist. A rare combination, I do say.

    *The elf boasts an excited yet dignified countenance.* Thank you, outsider. I've never been called 'egoist' before. It sounds powerful! Like me!

    Anyway ... can I help you learn the arts of netting or angling?

    Returns to an earlier point

  • Actually, just getting to know the members of the household.

    The conversation forks on what the game checks, in this order:

    Only when the player stands GreaterOrEqualTo Neutral with the speaker

    Well then, ask what you need to while I have the time, I suppose.

    The conversation ends

    Otherwise

    Ah yes, mother's told me about you. I don't see a reason this conversation needs to carry on past this. Good luck in the swamps, oustider.

    The conversation ends

Only when all of these hold:

  • weather_spore-wetlands

  • Only when the player stands GreaterOrEqualTo Neutral with the speaker

The damned spores. The only thing that keeps me off the lake ...

Only when the player stands GreaterOrEqualTo Neutral with the speaker

Hello again, {Viasha}. Have you more questions?

Only when the player stands LessThan Neutral with the speaker

I have nothing to say to you, outsider.

The conversation ends

What the player can raise (2)

The game offers every topic whose requirement is met, in the order it prefers them.

  • What can you tell me about you?

    Only the first time

    You want to hear my origin story again, ay?

    • Thats right. Let's hear it.

      My name is {Judai Sako}—strongest in my household and perhaps the village. I've been fishing since I could hoist a net, shortly after I began walking. I landed my first {yanaki-faced catfish} off the dock when I was just a boy; {Urashima} knew I'd be a prodigy then and there ...

      Besides that, I focus on taking care of my mother. My sister is always off trying to get herself killed in the forest, while my father withers inside a bottle of {arani}. Not me, though. I have far too much self-respect to touch the stuff.

      And don't forget the part about my heart of gold.

      The conversation ends

    • Nevermind, actually.

      Hmm. Strange, but as you wish, stranger.

      The conversation ends

    About me? Nothing you haven't heard from the {karus} in the city already, I'm sure. But if you want to here it from the {karu} himself, I can understand.

    That's why all the young {Karus} admire me so ... I'm not just strong and handsome, I'm a really kind, Genuine guy.

    The conversation ends

  • I have to go. Good luck with your fishing.

    The graph connects this choice to nothing, so the conversation stops here.
