I hope to have the GECK soon. --- May the Earth cushion the steps you must take. --- May the Waters soothe your journey. pickup_p_proc talk_p_proc Node101 Chosen - the shadow of darkness arrived before you. talk_p_proc->Node101 talk_p_proc->Node101 Node012 You may bear the mantle of the Chosen, but your dark soul cries from within. talk_p_proc->Node012 Node031 Chosen, the sands of time are but a few grains. Please. Bring the GECK soon and make the future of the village like the beach of the ocean. Quickly, before the last grain falls. talk_p_proc->Node031 Node030 Chosen - the village cries in desperation. The children are weak with hunger. Please, we can not hold out much longer. talk_p_proc->Node030 Node029 Welcome back, Chosen. I see by your face the salvation of the GECK is not yet ours. Be tireless as the ant before our reserves run out. You are our last hope. talk_p_proc->Node029 Node027 Welcome, Chosen. Bless us with words that the GECK will be found soon. Our village ails, our need is great, our time, short. talk_p_proc->Node027 Node017 In what way may I touch the chosen soul, Seed of the Dweller? talk_p_proc->Node017 Node018 Ahh. You return the spirit of the Dweller to the world and bring a smile to the soul of an old man in passing. For this, I give you powders of healing. Remember, they fog the mind as they cleanse the body. talk_p_proc->Node018 Node019 Ah, Chosen, my garden is well- how is yours? talk_p_proc->Node019 Node000 talk_p_proc->Node000 Node001 Greetings, Chosen. Why does the earth before me warm to the touch of your passing? talk_p_proc->Node001 Node102 Child of Nature, how could we put such a burden on your shoulders? (sigh) Your people have been taken. Node101->Node102 Owwww! Node109 Dark souls came. They took everyone. Node101->Node109 What happened? Node122 Too many seasons and too many wounds, Chosen. Instead, you must listen. Node101->Node122 You look bad. Let me help. Node999 Node012->Node999 My head aches from within listening to you. I'm gone. Node013 Cleanse your soul as you would banish demons from my garden. Node012->Node013 I beg your forgiveness, holy one. How can I cleanse my soul? Node008 The burden you carry now will grow ever heavier. Node012->Node008 That's right, Hakunin, and you'd be a real wise man not to forget it. Node012->Node008 Booka! Node028 May the Wind guide you to your goal. --- May the Waters soothe your journey. --- May the Earth cushion the steps you must take. --- May the Fire toast your bottom until you get this done. Node031->Node028 Uh-huh. Node031->Node028 All right. I'm off to find it. Node031->Node028 Life's a beach, huh? Node031->Node028 I will find the GECK, holy one. I will not let our people down. Node030->Node028 Uh-huh. Node030->Node028 I'm trying. I'm trying! Give me a break! Node030->Node028 I'll find the GECK, holy one. You have my word. Node030->Node028 I'll do my best to find the GECK. Node029->Node028 Uh-huh. Node029->Node028 I'm trying. I'd like to see the ant covering the miles I am. Node029->Node028 I'm doing my best. Node029->Node028 I'll double my efforts, holy one. I will not let you down. Node029->Node028 Yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before. Node027->Node028 Nuh. Node027->Node028 And your ability to speak normally, non-existent. I'm still trying. Node027->Node028 I'm on it. Node027->Node028 Get off my back, old man. I'm doing the best I can. Node027->Node028 I'm still looking, holy one. I hope to have the GECK soon. Node017->Node999 Oh, nothing. Goodbye. Node014 Chosen, once again the wholeness of your being is like a land blessed. Node017->Node014 Ooog! Bak! Node007 Surely you remember it is to the northeast, foolish one. Node017->Node007 Uh, where exactly is your garden? Node015 To make one whole instills a sense of fullness that you would be well to understand, Chosen. Node017->Node015 I'm hurt. Can you heal me? Node018a And also, will I mix the broc flower with the xander root together whenever you bring both to me. May your pathways be true and your heart follow suit. Node018->Node018a Thank you. Node019->Node999 Oh, never mind. I've got to go. Node019->Node999 Ooog! Bak! Node022 Look to the north, Chosen, and the way will be open. Node019->Node022 Where did you say the plants were? Node026 You are well. Node019->Node026 I need healing. Node019->Node026 Ooog! Bak! Node020 The pleasure of these words fills me. Alas, the gods whisper for my ear. Goodbye. Node019->Node020 I'm all right. Node021 We all have gardens. May your journeys act as tending. Be well. I must seek audience with the gods now. Node019->Node021 I don't have a garden- what the hell are you talking about this time? Node023 I am honored to serve the Chosen. Node019->Node023 I'd like you to make some healing powder for me. Node019->Node023 Ow? Node000->Node001 Node001->Node018 There were some pretty nasty plants infesting your garden- I've taken care of them for you. Node001->Node999 You are doing just way too many chems. I'm outta here. Node003 A blessing on you, for you are truly a child of nature. Would you please use your special talents and rid my garden of the plants of dark soul? Node001->Node003 Uh? Node002 The Earth sings with the news of a champion upon the land.... Perhaps, before you go, you would bestow a kindness? Node001->Node002 I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving on my holy quest. Node001a Please reveal to clouded eyes the purpose of your passage. Node001->Node001a I'm heading out. I was hoping just this once you'd talk like a real person. Node001->Node014 I'm hurt. Can you heal me? Node001->Node014 Ooog! Bak! destroy_p_proc look_at_p_proc Before you stands Hakunin, the village shaman. He appraises you with his crazy eyes from somewhere in the world only he inhabits….. --- You see Hakunin lying on the ground. He's badly wounded. --- You see Hakunin. He's very near death. description_p_proc Before you stands Hakunin, the village shaman. He appraises you with his crazy eyes from somewhere in the world only he inhabits….. --- Hakunin is badly burned. He smells like roast chicken, looks like burnt meatloaf, and you don't know how he's managed to stay alive this long. use_skill_on_p_proc damage_p_proc map_enter_p_proc Node993 Node993->Node019 Node993->Node001 Node993->Node999 Node994 Node995 Node996 Node010 Ha! The founder's spirit lives in you. Focus in to fortify the self to expand the greatness to enable such to touch the world. Of course, the rewards will be more than those of the spirit. Node996->Node010 Node006 To ask payment for a gift will bring you less than the gift itself.  I will give you such and add the lesson of your self-disappointment at the receiving. Node996->Node006 Node010->Node008 I think you've been playing with those plants way too much. To avoid your fate, I'm staying away from the garden. Node007a Node010->Node007a Sounds good. I'll be back when I'm done. Node010->Node007a So, I'm getting an actual thing in payment. Good enough. See ya later. Node006->Node007 Good enough. Where's the garden? Node006a If we speak the same words, do we mean the same thing? Do words always carry the same touch of a soul? Node006->Node006a You know, a nice gift would be to SPEAK ENGLISH! Node006->Node008 What if I give you a lesson in disappointment and leave right now? Bye. Node006->Node008 Well, if that's your attitude, I don't think I'm interested. Goodbye. Node997 Node997->Node010 Node997->Node013 Node013->Node999 I'm not worthy. I'll take my leave now. Node013->Node994 I kinda like my soul the way it is. Bye. Node013->Node007a It shall be done, wise one. I will come seek your forgiveness after I have purified your garden. Node013->Node007a You're trying to say that weeding your garden will be good for me, right? Well, okay, I'll give it a try. Node998 Node003->Node999 Nuh-uh. Youuu. Giv. Hed hurt. Node004 May your aura grace my presence when you are... Oh, come to my door when you're done and I'll give you something good. Node003->Node004 Uh-huh. Node002->Node006 It depends… what'll you give me? Node005 The plants of dark soul have infested my garden again. Many seasons have touched my bones and I am too frail for that fight which is eternal in nature. I ask that you be my champion. Node002->Node005 Sure. What do you need? Node001a->Node018 There were some pretty nasty plants infesting your garden- I've taken care of them for you. Node001a->Node999 You are doing just way too many chems. I'm outta here. Node001a->Node003 Uh? Node001a->Node002 I've come to say goodbye. I'm leaving on my holy quest. Node002a The views of the world are many - a lesson you will learn soon.... Perhaps, before you reap the experiences of life, you would bestow a kindness? Node001a->Node002a I'm heading out. I was hoping just this once you'd talk like a real person. Node014->Node001a Thank you. Node014->Node001a You mean I'm better, right? Node002a->Node006 I'll do something for you, but since I have to work this hard just to understand you, this task will cost. Node002a->Node005 Did you just ask me to do you a favor? If so, sure, why not? Node005->Node996 For a price. Node005->Node997 Forget it. I'm the future leader of this tribe and it would be undignified for me to do your gardening for you. Node011 Time can neither be wasted or saved- it must always be now. The actions create the fabric of your life. Node005->Node011 I don't think so. I need to start my quest right away. Node005->Node011 I know you're not a bad guy, but I've got a headache already, so I think I'll have to pass. Node009 May the gods bless your efforts, Chosen. May your aura grace my presence when the earth breathes clean again. Node005->Node009 I'd be honored, holy one. Node005->Node009 Did you just ask me to weed your garden? If that's the case, okay. Node004->Node999 Urgh. Node011->Node999 Uh, right. Like I said, I've got to go. Goodbye. Node011->Node999 You know, talking to you makes me wonder about that time can't be wasted idea. I'm outta here. Node011->Node007a If only I had your wisdom, wise one. Forgive me- of course I'll take care of it for you. Node009->Node999 I take it you want to see me again when I'm done... You could have just said so, you know. Node009->Node999 Goodbye. Node007->Node008 Are you calling me a fool? I don't think I want to help you, after all. Node007->Node007a Thank you for your help. Node007->Node007a Thanks. I actually understood that. Node007->Node007a I'll be back for my payment soon. Node006a->Node007 Oh, yeah. Much better. And the lesson I learned is to shut up and just ask where the garden is. Node006a->Node008 Let's try the word, "goodbye." It means I'm leaving. Node015->Node999 Wait, don't tell me. I'm better and you felt good doing it, right? Thanks. Node015->Node999 You are wise and kind, Holy One. Node016 Node017a Node018a->Node999 Thank you. Node018a->Node999 I'm almost sorry to go. I can just about understand you now. Bye. Node018a->Node022 Where can I find these things? Node022->Node999 Okay. Thanks. Node026->Node019 Thank you. Node026->Node019 No lessons? No incomprehensible speeches? You sure you're okay? Node020->Node999 Bye. Node020->Node999 Still mixing the herbs, huh? See you later. Node021->Node999 See ya. Node021->Node999 I'm betting you carry your audience with you wherever you go. Be well. Node024 Such is life. Two creates a third. You will need both xander root and broc flower for the healing powder. Node023->Node024 Node025 May this be of no use. Node023->Node025 Node019a Node024->Node999 Oh. Thanks Node024->Node999 Poo. Node025->Node999 Okay. Thanks. Node025->Node999 Uh! Node028->Node999 Thanks. Node028->Node999 Uh. Node028->Node999 Say what?! Node028->Node999 Huh?! Node032 Node033 Node034 Node035 Node103 Yes. Gone. Many dark souls came, riding the metal birds like a flock of hungry chittick bugs, hiding their evil in shiny skins. Node102->Node103 Uhh? Node110 A rush of wind came. On it were great dragonflies that spat flame. Evil men crawled from the beasts' bellies and brought death to our warriors. Node109->Node110 Dark souls? What do you mean? Node122->Node109 All right. Node104 No! Not shiny pretty! They kidnapped our people and took them to the southwest. Node103->Node104 Ooo! Shiny Purty! Node105 Yes. Great sadness and pain. I stand between worlds to tell you, Chosen. Save your people. Node104->Node105 Ow. Node106 Chosen, please let my words touch you. Go southwest. South and west.  Save our people. Save our people. Node105->Node106 Uh? Node107 Thank the ancestors. Now my soul my join the eternal song. Safe journey, Chosen. Node106->Node107 Uh-huh.. Node108 Go!... Node107->Node108 Go? Node108->Node999 Bye bye. Node112 The spirit was willing, but the spearheads were weak. The evil ones burned our warriors with the lights of hell. Node110->Node112 Our warriors couldn't stop them? Node113 All were dead or taken. My spirit returned to flesh only to reveal the truth to the Chosen. Node112->Node113 They killed everyone? Node111 Node121 A strange mist stole their minds and sent them to the land of Sleep. The evil ones walked among the dreamers, yet did not dream. Node113->Node121 What happened to the ones taken? Node114 The beasts swallowed all, then took to the winds. Node121->Node114 And then? Node115 Did you never listen when I taught you the yearly dance of the wind spirits? South, of course. Node114->Node115 Uh, which way were the winds that they followed going? Node116 Yes, they traveled the wind south. I overheard the dark souls speaking. They planned to rest their beasts at a place named Navarro before crossing the great basin of our earth-mother's tears. Node115->Node116 Your descriptions were so vivid and powerful, great Hakunin, that I was often stricken senseless for the duration of your lessons. Node115->Node116 Oh, those winds. Of course. Node117 For me, nothing. Chosen, you must seek the fold of the dark ones and rescue our people. Node116->Node117 What shall I do? Node120 An ocean of tears, cried by a mother for her children. Node116->Node120 Basin of tears? Node118 You are the Chosen. You must do. Node117->Node118 I will try. Node120->Node117 Oh, the ocean. But what shall I do? Node118->Node999 Hakunin? Node118->Node999 First time I understood what you meant. Node119
