Dialogue 21

1. Nicholas: Magnificent sight, isn't it?
   • Who are you?
2. Nicholas: Me? I'm a scholar. Or more specifically...a man utterly fascinated by gnolls. A gnoll expert, if you will.
3. Nicholas: The leader of the gnolls here is one called "Sak the Hunger Fiend." Recently, he fought the pack on the eastern side over territory.
4. Nicholas: And he lost the struggle. Poor creature... (chuckle)
   • What's a scholar like you doing here?
5. Nicholas: I'm keeping an eye on the cave where he's holed up. I just can't stop wondering what he's doing there...
6. Nicholas: You've come at just the right... Wait.
   • What is it?
7. Nicholas: Sak may have been defeated, but he once ruled the gnolls around here. A cornered beast is often the most dangerous.
8. Nicholas: I don't think you could take this on yet... It's too risky.
9. Nicholas: Come back once you've had a little more training.
10. Nicholas: Magnificent sight, isn't it?
    • Who are you?
11. Nicholas: Me? I'm a scholar. Or more specifically...a man utterly fascinated by gnolls. A gnoll expert, if you will.
12. Nicholas: Gnolls may look like mere beasts, but they have a surprisingly complex ecology of their own.
13. Nicholas: The leader of the gnolls here is one called "Sak the Hunger Fiend." Recently, he fought the pack on the eastern side over territory.
14. Nicholas: And he lost the struggle. Poor creature... (chuckle)
    • What are you doing here?
15. Nicholas: I've been observing the cave he's holed up in. You see, it isn't an ordinary mine.
16. Nicholas: There was once a relic in this region known as Black Iron. It's gone now, but its influence seeped into the land itself.
17. Nicholas: I just can't stop wondering what he's doing at a place like this.
18. Nicholas: Could you do me a favor?
    • What is it?
19. Nicholas: Investigate his condition for me, will you? I have a feeling there's something extraordinary there.
    • Alright.
20. Nicholas: I just can't stop wondering what he's doing at a place like this.
21. Nicholas: Could you please investigate his condition for me?
