Dialogue 49

1. Navika: We're still investigating. Can't share details yet, but I'll let you know when we find something.
2. Navika: You can fish or head home. It's fine.
3. Navika: Just stop troubling the villagers. They're in no state to help.
   • An investigator, I take it?
   • Alright... Goodbye then.
4. Navika: I'll tell you what I know.
   • Can you tell me what happened at the lake?
   • Do you have any idea what caused it?
   • Why not dive into the lake yourself?
   • I'll take care of it.
5. Navika: Are you alright? You threw yourself into the water so suddenly. I didn't expect that.
   • I think I've found what's causing the pollution.
   • It's nothing.
6. Navika: ...Wait, the cause was beneath the bridge? Or deeper underwater?
7. Navika: Please, tell me: what you find down there?
   • (Explain everything.)
8. Navika: ... The dead returned to life... and devoured the fish?
9. Navika: Hmm. That makes little sense. It is a phenomenon I have neither seen nor heard of.
10. Navika: Still, this is a major breakthrough. Say... have you ever considered joining the Crimson Watch?
    • Are you serious?
11. Navika: I jest. It was simply my way of saying I am impressed by your capabilities.
12. Navika: You have my sincere gratitude. I will conduct a further investigation based on your findings.
13. Navika: I will also notify the Crimson Watch to offer you support whenever you need it. Safe travels.
14. Whiscow: Are you here to investigate, too?
15. Whiscow: Just leave it. Best to let this place die out.
    • What do you mean by that?
16. Whiscow: They brought it on themselves.
17. Whiscow: Should've seen it coming, what with everyone going after fish like it'd last forever.
18. Whiscow: They started acting like they owned the lake... Now look at it.
    • And?
    • What happened?
19. Whiscow: (sigh) I'm just tired of hearing them whine about their own mess.
20. Whiscow: Do what you came to do, then leave. Even if the fish in the lake come back, there's nothing good here anymore.
21. Thelisa: Ugh, don't just stand there. Try talking some sense into him!
    • Sorry?
22. Thelisa: If we can't catch any fish, we can't make a living! I don't get why he's being so stubborn.
23. Thelisa: I noticed you speaking with that woman earlier. Did she mention any way to solve this?
    • We're still investigating.
24. Thelisa: (sigh) Well, I've told her all I know. No point repeating myself.
25. Duomo: Oh, thought you were just a traveler. But I saw you talking with that woman. Are you here for the investigation too?
    • Yes, that's right.
    • I'm helping her.
26. Duomo: Figures. Ask whatever you need. I'll tell you what I know.
    • Can you tell me what happened at the lake?
27. Duomo: Right, that day...
28. Duomo: I got up before sunrise, set up my gear, same as always.
29. Duomo: But hours went by, and not a single fish took the bait.
30. Duomo: When the sun came up, we realized something was wrong with the lake.
    • Did you notice anything strange before that?
31. Duomo: Hmm... I just felt more tired than usual.
32. Duomo: But that often happens before the rain, so I didn't think much of it.
33. Damai: What is it? Got something to say?
    • You manage all these lines on your own?
34. Damai: Of course I do. Used to be my pride and joy, though now they're just for show.
    • Do you know what happened at the lake?
35. Damai: Can't say I do.
36. Damai: Everything was fine through the night, but by dawn, not a single fish was biting.
    • When did you realize the lake had changed?
    • When did you realize the lake had changed?
37. Damai: I heard Duomo shouting that morning. I'd wager everyone out on the lake heard him.
    • Did you notice anything strange before that?
38. Damai: Hmm... I don't tire easily, but I was dragging that night.
39. Damai: I just couldn't stop yawning. Even Mardurth, who never sleeps early, was dozing off.
40. Damai: When I woke him, he nearly jumped out of his skin.
41. Damai: Didn't say a word after that, so I let him be. Perhaps he had a nightmare.
42. Madurth: I heard you talking with the old man. I suppose he mentioned my nightmare?
    • I'd like to hear your side of it.
43. Madurth: ... That night, I felt so heavy and tired. Couldn't even keep my eyes open.
44. Madurth: My mind was awake, but my body wouldn't move. And then... I heard something strange.
    • Strange? What kind of sound was it?
45. Madurth: It was like...something chewing. Wet and loud.
46. Madurth: I got chills all over, and this fear just...hit me.
47. Madurth: I couldn't move a muscle. Then the old man shook me awake right as I screamed.
    • Did you hear the sound again after that?
48. Madurth: No, nothing. Back then, I thought it was a dream...
49. Madurth: But the more I think about it, the more I'm sure it wasn't a dream.

1. Madurth: Seems my fishing days here are over... Best find a new spot.
2. Guard: Hey, we came to guard this place, not clean up the water!
3. Guard: Can't blame the villagers, really. They're just desperate...
4. Guard: Let's just keep an eye on the Dark Blades like we've been told.
5. Zhirov: Let's move to another village. We can't live off rotten fish forever!
6. Oebel: Hush. Have some decency. These people just lost their livelihoods.
7. Stevi: If we're not turning back, we'll need to push on to the Gylden Ruins.
8. Zhirov: Hey, we got this far. We can make it!
9. Thelisa: Dad, we can't keep doing this. We need to find something else.
10. Thelisa: How are we supposed to make a living when there's no fish left?
11. Vizer: I fed you with this work my whole life. What else would I do?
12. Vizer: That girl investigating the lake said she would fix it. We'll fish again soon.
13. Thelisa: There's no guarantee she'll actually solve the problem...
14. Navika: Doesn't match the report at all.. (sigh) Where do I begin?
15. Andera: Why won't anyone believe me? I really saw it in my dream...
16. Thelisa: Time's running out. You know they're starting another investigation.
17. Vizer: That's enough.
18. Thelisa: I'll be sure to tell him when we get back.
19. Navika: Hmm... From their belongings, I can tell they are ordinary folks.
20. Navika: Ugh, my head... When are they getting here so we can actually get started?
21. Guard: You know what? I heard there's a path behind the lake that leads straight to the Dark Blades.
22. Guard: Seriously? Shouldn't we send a patrol that way?
23. Guard: A fair point, but...are you going to volunteer?
24. Guard: Eh... Maybe someone else should take that post.
25. Madurth: Come on, it's time you stepped back.
26. Madurth: It might be better to look for a new place.
27. Damai: I suppose you're right... My old bones aren't what they used to be.
28. Zhirov: By the way, anyone got a Gylden Ruins Map?
29. Stevi: Yeah right, like anyone's seen one.
30. Oebel: I heard you can find one in Jubilant Village. Maybe we should head there first.
31. Zhirov: Right! Well, the Gylden Ruins lie west of here...
