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

Only when all of these hold:

  • Only while Healing Hands is started

  • Only while the quest holds the authored value

By the great spirit of Sako! My {Rhia} is breathing without wheeze! And her cheeks are flushed!

I don't know how you've managed to do it, but thank you! I don't have much, but take this gold; it's the least I could do.

Only while the quest holds the authored value

  • [Refuse payment] Don't mention it! Keep your gold. Go to your daughter.

    Oh ... Thank you kind stranger ... I'll never what I've done to deserve this kindness, but I am eternally grateful.

    The conversation ends

  • [Receive payment] Thank you, humble sir. Now be with your daughter.

    Oh ... Thank you kind stranger ... I'll never what I've done to deserve this kindness, but I am eternally grateful.

    The conversation ends

  • [Receive payment] It seems a bit light ... but if it's all you've got, I'll take it.

    I apologize the amount isn't satisfactory; it is all I have ... Thank you for saving my daughter, truly. Though, I'd like to see her now ... Goodbye, stranger.

    The conversation ends

  • [Refuse payment] I couldn't possibly. Besides, it was the healer by the forest who made the medicine.

    She healed my daughter ...? A {Sand Elf} ...? Then I was wrong about her.

    Thank you both so much for your acts of kindness ... {Hariyata, wega kamera}, thank you.

    The conversation ends

  • [Recieve payment] It was a daunting task getting the ingredients, but the healer by the forest made the medicine.

    She ... healed my daughter? Then I was wrong about her ...

    I apologize if the amount is unsatisfactory; it is all I have. I do thank you for saving my daughter, who I'd like to see now.

    Again, I do sincerely thank both you and the Healer for your help.

    The conversation ends

Only while Healing Hands is succeeded

Thank you, [player]. I can't tell you how great it is having {Rhia} back to her old self.

Only when all of these hold:

  • Only while Healing Hands is failed

  • Only when the conversation's own flag questStarted is set

You can quit searchin' for a cure, stranger ... {Rhia} ... she passed away ...

  • NO! WHY HER?! WHY {RHIA}?! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL! LOST!

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I really think I'd like to be alone with my thoughts right now ...

    The conversation ends

  • Sorry for your loss. I'll let you be alone ...

    Requires a Low check of Speech

    Yes, well ... thanks for trying ...

    {Vali}, outsider.

    *The elf silently and mournfully returns to his new solitude.*

    The conversation ends

  • IT WAS ME ALL RIGHT! I DID IT! YA' GOT ME, YA' HAPPY?! I CONFESS!

    YOU DRUNKEN FOOL!

    I'LL CLEAVE THE HEAD FROM YOUR BODY LIKE A CATFISH! FOR {RHIA}!

    • Starts combat
  • [Confess to murder] I know, I was there.

    You were ... ? *The {Karu} looks around bewildered before locking a hysterical gaze on you.* YOU! MURDEROUS {VEMANI}, SCUM!

    I'LL KILL YOU!

    • Starts combat

Only after the player has spoken to the speaker

*Before you is a {Karu}, stricken with grief. He looks at you, void of any significant attention.* What is it you need, outsider?

Greetings, how are you, {kamera}?

What the player can raise (12)

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 a treatment for {Rhia}!

    *The old {Karu's} eyes fixate on the salve, glowing and wet.* That little thing is gonna' save her? Well, all right, we have no time to waste, let's go try it! I hope this works stranger ...

Only when all of these hold:

  • Only while Healing Hands is started

  • Only while the quest holds the authored value

  • Only while the quest is at the authored phase

  • Only while the quest holds the authored value

  • I've applied the {salve} to %Rhia's% palms. She's going to be fine.

    I can't believe you've actually done it ... I feel as though I'm dreaming ...

    {Hariyata, kamera}. {Hariyata} / That is to say ... 'Thank you, friend, ' for your random act of kindness.

    Surely, Sako's great spirit has led you here. I don't have much, but I will give you what I can. I am eternally grateful!

    • [Refuse payment] Don't mention it! Keep your gold. Go to your daughter.

      {Hariyataru, viatiru! Yovenaru ujigami, viatiru} / Thank you, kind stranger' ...

      I'm eternally greatful for this kindness you've done me.

      The conversation ends

    • [Refuse payment] I couldn't possibly. Besides, it was the healer by the forest who made the medicine.

      She ... healed my daughter. Then I was wrong about her.

      Thank you both so much for your acts of kindness ... {Hariyata, wega kamera}, thank you.

Only when the quest's character is alive

  • Your daughter is healed.

    Impossible ... No one knew what was wrong, how did you .... why did you ... actually, I don't care.

    {Hariyata, kamera}. {Hariyata} / That is to say ... 'Thank you, friend, ' for your random act of kindness.

    Surely, the soul of Sako himself has led you here. I don't have much, but I will give you what I can. I am eternally grateful!

    Continues where this conversation already went

  • *You speak softly.* Who's death is looming over you, {Umarate}?

    It's that obvious, is it?

    • *Give a single and slow nod.* It is in most.

      *The elf takes a breath. Likely unsure about sharing personal information with an outsider.* My %daughter% is %terribly ill% and every treatment has failed her ...

      Her horns are all brittle ... jaundiced skin ... barely eats anything and she sleeps all day.

      Even the {Shaman Nakama} and all the {temple} turned us from the sickhouse - either way, I feel incredibly hopeless.

      • Changes a variable of something the compendium does not publish

      Only while the quest holds the authored value

      • That sounds like a textbook case of Grey Fever.

        You have an interest in this sort of thing, I see ... Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but do you know of a treatment for the fever?

        Only when the player carries

        • Yes, I actually have the ingredients on hand, coincidentally.

          Really?! *The elf holds back emotion.* This is miraculous news! 'm sure someone at the temple would have the tools to mix it! I know %Dento Ekiro% usually is handy with this sort of thing.

        • If there is a forest, there is a cure for {grey fever}. Fear not.

          Really? *The elf holds back emotion.*

          Well. Good. This is excellent news. If you could gather the ingredients, I'm sure someone at the %temple% would have the tools to mix it.

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

          Only while The Branches Below is succeeded

          Especially now that the grounds have been restored and the monster infestation has been cleared, they should have the spare time.

          The conversation ends

          Otherwise

          Even in its current mess, I'm sure someone will have the compassion in their hearts to make time ...
          That is their job, isn't it? Especially in troubling times ...

          Continues where this conversation already went

        • In theory.

          In theory, huh? That's a good start ... more than I've heard from the {priests} and the {Shaman} ...

          If you're willing to test the theory and gather the ingredients, I'm sure someone at the temple would be able to toe mix them.

          The conversation ends

        • Yes, but it requires {karuntak} marrow. And I'm not exactly a big game hunter.

          Really? *The elf reaches for a necklace beneath the collar of his angling garb and pulls hard, breaking the braided-fiber necklace.*

          *Pulling out his fist, he reveals a single {karuntak} tooth.* Here, it's my good luck charm; take it for the medicine. That way, you don't have to get up close and personal with a {karuntak}.

          If you could gather the remaining ingredients, I'm sure someone at the %temple% would be able to mix the medicine.

          The conversation ends

      • [Read <i>Hands of Healing</i>] That sounds like Grey Fever. I've read about it.

        You've heard of it? Well, that's ... that's actually hopeful! For the first time in a long time, I have an answer! What do we do? How do we treat such a thing?

        Only when the player carries

        • Yes, I actually have the ingredients on hand, coincidentally.

          Really?! *The elf holds back emotion.* This is miraculous news! 'm sure someone at the %temple% would have the tools to mix it! I know %Dento Ekiro% usually is handy with this sort of thing.

          The conversation ends

        • According to the book, we can make a salve out of some native ingredients.
        • The book mentioned a treatment. Perhaps you'd know it if you took time to read.

          I'll ignore your smart mouth for the sake of my daughter.

          If you manage to come up with those ingredients, I'm sure someone at the %temple% can help you mix the medicine.

          Continues where this conversation already went

      • I'd like to help find a cure for your daughter.

        *The elf takes a deep, slow breath. He looks at the ground for just a moment before weakly replying.*

        I'm in no position to say no ... If you're willing to help, I'll part with whatever I have to ... I don't have much, but anything is worth her return to health ...

        The conversation ends

      • I'll remember that - let me write it down, in fact.

        *The {Karu} morosely watches you scribble the symptoms in your journal.* ... Was there anything you wanted to know, stranger?

        • Runs AddJournalEntryNode

        Returns to an earlier point

      • I have to get going, but good luck with that.

        The pity of a vemani means nothing to me ... goodbye.

        The conversation ends

    • It's nothing you're doing. I've just been around a lot of this sort of thing.
    • You may as well hang a sign around your neck.

      *{Umarate's} body language would suggest he did not appreciate the frankness of this comment.* My %daughter% is %ill%, and she's not responding to any treatment she's been given.

      Her horns are all brittle ... jaundiced skin ... barely eats anything and she sleeps all day.

      I've tried everything I can think of. Brought her anywhere that might help, with no luck.

      Continues where this conversation already went

  • Is something wrong?

    The conversation forks on the graph-variable check:

    If False

    *The elf is visibly upset.* Everything is wrong. My daughter's ill. Sick with something archaic ... I don't know what.

    Brittle horns ... jaundiced ... barely eats anything and she sleeps all day.

    Every treatment has failed her. Even {Shaman Nakama} and her {priests} turned us away...

    • Changes a variable of something the compendium does not publish

    Continues where this conversation already went

    If True

    *The {Karu} stares at you blankly and cold for a time before finally forcing the words.* My daughter just died ... and I'd like to be left alone.

    • IT WAS ME ALL RIGHT! I DID IT! YA' GOT ME, YA' HAPPY!? I CONFESS!

      YOU DRUNKEN FOOL!

      I'LL CLEAVE YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR BODY LIKE A CATFISH! FOR {RHIA}!

      • Starts combat
    • Do you live in a pod near the cemetary?

      I - yes, I do. Why do I ask? How do you know where I live?

      • I saw a soul in that pod screaming for a release. So. I released it.

        You released my daughter's soul!? You killed a defenseless, sick girl ...

        I'LL CLEAVE THE HEAD FROM YOUR BODY LIKE A CATFISH! FOR {RHIA}!

        • Starts combat
      • No reason ... just thought I'd seen you near there.

        All right, well ... I think it's time you move along, {vemani}.

        Like I said ... I wish to be alone.

        The conversation ends

      • [Confess to murder] You should lock your doors ...

        ... ? *The {Karu} looks around bewildered before locking a hysterical gaze on you.* YOU!? YOU did this!?

        I'LL KILL YOU!

        Continues where this conversation already went

    • I will respect your wishes.

      *The elf silently and mournfully returns to his new solitude.*

      The conversation ends

    • [Confess to murder] I know, I was there.

      You were ... ? *The {Karu} looks around bewildered before locking a hysterical gaze on you.* YOU! MURDEROUS {VEMANI}, SCUM!

      I'LL KILL YOU!

      • Starts combat
  • What's <i>your</i> problem?

    *The {Karu} stares at you with paternal tragedy burning brightly in his gaze.*

    If you truly want to know, stranger, my %daughter's% stuck in a cot - some %mystery infection% ravaging her, and there's nothing I can do about it ...

    Her horns are all brittle ... jaundiced skin ... barely eats anything and she sleeps all day.

    Every treatment has failed her ... Even the {shaman} and all her {priests} turned us away...

    Continues where this conversation already went

Only when the conversation's own flag later is set

Only when all of these hold:

  • Only while Healing Hands is started

  • Only while the quest holds the authored value

  • I had some questions about your daughter.

    Whatever may assist you in helping her.

    • What are her symptoms again?

      Brittle horns ... She's all jaundiced. She barely eats and sleeps all day.

      Returns to an earlier point

    • What's her name?

      %Rhia% ... She's just now becoming a young {Karu} woman. It kills me to see her like this ... She's usually more lively than I can handle ...

      Returns to an earlier point

    • Where is she now?

      *The elf looks vaguely irritated but talks in a tone that suggests his irritation does not lie with you.* She's resting back at %our pod in her bed%.

      The {shaman} at the {temple} wouldn't keep her at the {sickhouse} ...

      They weren't entirely sure what the illness is, so they didn't feel comfortable keeping her among the other patients ...

      Returns to an earlier point

    • Where is your pod?

      It's near the docks, you'll find the %bridge% to our pod %across% from the %local kitchen%. It's on a small plot flooded away from the mainland with a few other places.

      Returns to an earlier point

    • Do you have any clue how she got sick?

      Ever since a bad Konchi took her mother a few years back, she refuses to stay home.

      She's always out searching for things to sell or shifts to pick up at the dock - checking nets and ropes and such. She could've contracted it anywhere, really ...

      I know that doesn't help much, but it's hard to explain when we're not sure what it is.

      Returns to an earlier point

    • I had other questions.

      All right.

      The conversation ends

  • What can you tell me about yourself?

    Only the first time

    My name is a {Umarate} ... I'm a member of the {Sako} family.

    I fish and take care of my daughter. Now, if there are no more questions, I'd like to be with my thoughts.
