Openers (3)

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

Only while Beneath the Beacon's Glow is succeeded

I just wanted to thank ye' again, [player].

To see the port come back to life warms an old sailor's heart.

The conversation ends

Only while Beneath the Beacon's Glow is started

Any news?

Only while Beneath the Beacon's Glow is succeeded

Aye, if it isn't [player]. What can I do for ye'?

What the player can raise (7)

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

Only when all of these hold:

  • I've retrieved the parts to repair the beacon.

    That's great news! I can't wait to see 'er glow again.

    Why don't ye' do the honors of installin' the replacement? Ye'll figure it out easily enough.

    The conversation ends

Only when all of these hold:

  • Only while the quest is at the authored phase

  • Only while the quest holds the authored value

  • I've repaired the lantern mechanism. The beacon should be as bright as ever

    Thank ye', lad / lass, for helping an old sea-javak when he needed it the most.

    Charity is rare in this world - especially to a Sand Elf in Ardenfall.

    The conversation ends

Only when all of these hold:

  • I can check on those parts for you, if you're still in need.

    Aye, glad ye' came around.

    Any questions before ye' make yer' down the hill?

    Only when the conversation's own flag questions is set

    • (Beacon parts) I think I came across the parts you're waiting on.

      *The old beacon keeper is shocked to see the parts.* Where in the world did ye' find these!

      Only when the player has found

      • I found them on a dead courier.

        Dead? Well - that explains the wait.

        I suppose what's important is we have the parts, and the beacon can finally get repaired.

        Why don't ye' do the honors of installin' the replacement? Ye'll figure it out easily enough.

        The conversation ends

      • They were in a trunk at the bottom of a lake.

        Ye' found them in a lake? Well - that explains the wait.

        Continues where this conversation already went

      • I don't want to get into that - the parts are here now. What do we do with them?

        Ah, fine. I won't pry at ye'.

        Continues where this conversation already went

    • I can go down to the general store and see what the hold up is.

      Truly?

      If ye' returned with those parts, it'd do an old sea-javak's heart good.

      The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:

      If True

      Head back up to the beacon and find me when ye' have news or the parts.

      The conversation ends

      If False

      The general store is just down the hill, near the port. You'll know you're at the right building if there are two ogobi statues out front.

      Head back up to the beacon and find me when ye' have news or the parts.

      The conversation ends

    • I don't have time right now.

      Aye, understood - no need to explain yer'self.

      If ye' end up needin' any work, I'll be here at the beacon.

      The conversation ends

    • Why do the fishermen dislike the beacon?

      It ain't just the fishermen - it's all of lower Akaga.

      They miss when Akaga was nothing - life made more sense to them then. They hate the beacon and the progress it's brought.

      They're just feelin' sorry for themselves, the whole lot of 'em. Things change - sometimes we need to change with them.

      Returns to the previous choices

    • How has the beacon's condition affected Akaga?

      Its hurt the merchant class, mostly. It hasn't been good for anyone's pocket, though.

      I'm sure the fishermen down at the beach are happy enough. They're always belly achin' about the damned thing.

      Returns to the previous choices

    • What parts are you waiting on?

      An entirely new lantern mechanism, with a new emerald reflector-glass and all.

      Returns to the previous choices

    • Where's the general store?

      Just down the hill from here - very near the port.

      Ye'll know it's the right building if ye' see two Ogobi statues outside the front entrance.

      Returns to the previous choices

    • Could you tell me again where the general store is?

      Aye, it's just down the hill from here - very near the port.

      Ye'll know it's the right building if ye' see two Ogobi statues outside the front entrance.

      Returns to the previous choices

    • I wanted to talk about something else.

      May as well.

      The conversation ends

Only when all of these hold:

  • Yoichi ordered your parts. The courier that was supposed to deliver them never showed.

    So. Where do we go from here?

    • He couldn't have gone too far. I'm going to check the roads between here and Ishgana and see what I can find.
      • Changes how the speaker feels about the player

      Thank ye', lad / lass. I appreciate the update - and more than that the help.

      Ye' may want to check the ditches and lakes along path. Ardenfall's having a bit of a road bandit issue as of late.

      The conversation ends

Only when all of these hold:

  • The beacon seems a bit dim.

    A bit? It's near useless.

    A mighty storm rolled in about a month back - shattered the reflection glass and mangled the entire lantern mechanism.

    • Is anyone coming to repair it?

      I put in an order for the parts at the general store so I can make the repairs.

      The owner gave me his word he put in an order for new parts, but I haven't heard word of that in weeks.

      If yer' looking fer' work, I could really use someone to run down the hill and fetch those parts for me.

      This ol' vessel doesn't have the strength it used to.

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • Aren't you it's keeper? Shouldn't you be fixing it?

      I've done what I could. I put in an order for the parts at the general store so I can make the repairs.

      The owner gave me his word he put in an order for new parts, but I haven't heard word of that in weeks.

      If yer' looking fer' work, I could really use someone to run down the hill and fetch those parts for me.

      This ol' vessel doesn't have the strength it used to.

      Continues where this conversation already went

Only while Beneath the Beacon's Glow is started

Only when all of these hold:

  • I'll head down to the general store.

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

Other entry points (1)

The game reaches these from elsewhere: a quest event, or another conversation.
