  • Sets an objective succeeded in Amphibious Ambassador

  Woah! You really did it!

  I half-expected never to see you again! But since you came back, are you up to trying this hypothesis with me? Do you want to witness history in the making? The first recorded {Karu}-{Darvakian} communication!

  What do you say?

  • Can you give me a moment to prepare?

    Of course! Just come find me when you're ready!

    The conversation ends

  • Of course!

    *{Tensi} grins and becomes jittery with excitement.* REALLY! OKAY, COME ON!

  • Just like that? Wouldn't you like to at least practice first?

    Don't need to! Practice is all I've had to do out here for months! I'm done croaking to myself in this tent; I want to talk to those {darvaki}!

    Come on! It'll be fun!

    Returns to an earlier point

• I'm ready to speak to the {darvaki} with you.

• How's life amongst the {darvaki}?

  Only the first time

  It's more than I could've dreamed, [player]!

  In fact, I even have a first draft of this!

  • Gives A Treatise On The Nature of The Darvaki III

  You can keep that one, I already have a few drafts laying around.

  I'll have a published trilogy soon enough!

  Thanks again, [player].

• Why do you watch the {darvaki}?

  I can't believe you even need to ask! —just look at them! The {darvaki} have art, and language, and architecture. They're ... civilized ... *She erupts into another tantrum of whispers. *

  HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THEM! *She ends the fit with a deep and needed breath before admonishing herself for the outburst.* Woah. Dial it back, {Tensi}. Don't alert them to your position now...*

  • Interesting. Please, go on.

    Well! I think—*the elf looks in either direction before softening her voice considerably.*—I may even be able to communicate with them; converse, even.

    • Do you have evidence of any sort? A manuscript or even notes?

      Of course, I do! What kind of scholar/future author would I be if I didn't jot down my thoughts and observations? I wrote them down in my good ol' %Tensi's Notes%! But ... I lost them.

      Only when the player carries

      • Where did you have them last?

        I lost them somewhere in the %Living Tunnels%. I was down there taking notes—while also trying to overcome my fear of small, dark places—when a great noise erupted from the cavern!

        Even with my magic, I'd just hate to go back down there ... if you're ever in the area and wouldn't mind stopping to take a look; I'd never forget it!

      • I'll do it for a fee. I am fronting all the danger, after all.

        Of course, of course, where are my manners? I'm so used to being the one getting hired and assigned. How does [payment] coin sound?

        • I charge a premium for travel in the rain. Let's say %800%?

          Of course, rain fees are so common nowadays; I should've guessed! %800% it is sir! / miss!

          I will be here if you have any questions!

    • What makes you say that?

      *The elf takes on an odd expression of coy frustration.* Well, I had notes ... I had a lot, in fact—an entire scroll!

      I wrote them down in my good ol' %Tensi's Notes%! But ... I lost them ...

      Continues where this conversation already went

    • That sounds like complete foolishness to me.

      Oh you think so? You're going to look extremely silly when I get my notes back!

      I dropped them in the %Living tunnels% ... I hate that place ...

      Only when the player carries

      • So if I go to the {Living Tunnels}, I'll find this scroll?

        I guarantee it. I swear on all my studies!—and the lives of all the sweet {darvaki}!

        Returns to an earlier point

      • I was already at the {Living Tunnels}, I didn't see anything.

        Then you missed it! Plain and simple. If you're ever over there again, pop in and double-check! Please?

        Returns to an earlier point

      • Then why were you there?

        For the advancement of my research, of course! I was convinced I'd be able to handle it!

        But not too far in, I heard something really scary and bolted back to the entrance ... When I returned to my senses and dusted my robe off, I realized I'd dropped my notes somewhere in the process ...
        

        Returns to an earlier point

      • All right, I'll go check again.

        Thank you, {Viasha}! Many, many thanks! I know you're skeptical, but please trust me!

        I'm a lady of facts!

  • A man in {Garkai} wants them extinct.

    The hunters of {Garkai} have never liked the {darvaki}. I've begged them to change their ways, but you may as well be talking to a stone!

    The local {Reinuku temple} has dissuaded their efforts for decades ... let's hope they hold strong.

    Returns to an earlier point

  • I doubt many people know they exist.

    Exactly! And what a shame! That's what I plan to change with my new trilogy! {A Treatise on The Nature of The Darvaki}.

    Returns to an earlier point

  • What's there to talk about?

    Weren't you listening? Oh ... nevermind.

  From here, head back to the %main road% and travel %east%. Eventually you'll come across a %bridge% leading to a %cave entrance%; that stupid thing caused my initial interest in the site ... I couldn't take my imagination off what may lie on the other side!

  • I told them about your book. They've granted us both passage.

    YOU DID?

    I'll have lots of gloating to do once I'm back in {Tonaki}! But I can't focus on that right now! Too much to do! So many breakthroughs to realize and record!

    Thank you, traveler! For all your kind work. If you need me, you know where I'll be!
