Initial dialogue
''That last reenactment wasn't too bad, but I think we can do better folks. I want more energy and more emotion this time. Okay, you ready, ? *Ahem* I've bad news. We found the ravaged remains of a monk just outside of the village. So little of his body remained it is through the sheer will of the Gods he made it this far. On his person was a letter...a desperate cry for help. "The Shrine of Maat has fallen," it said. Meet Musashi in Sunqua Vale and accompany her on this mission."''
 * Imperial Guard Hanso

Intermediate dialogue
''I saw the remains of that Monk. What a grisly sight. We'd better get to the shrine quickly, for I fear the longer we delay the more carnage will result.''
 * Imperial Guard Musashi


 * Canthan Peasant "In the name of the gods, run for your lives!"
 * Canthan Peasant "It ate them. It ate them whole!"
 * Canthan Peasant "Flee you fools, it's coming!"


 * Brother Sitai: "You saved me from that thing! I pray you are blessed for the rest of your days. Thank you! (Ha! I'm a natural at this stuff! I hear the famous Norgu is holding auditions for a traveling production of "Norgu's Nightfall." Maybe I should audition...)"

''It emerged from the darkness and tore apart anyone in its way. It was horrible! A lucky few managed to escape, but the others...I can't escape the hideous images that scar my memory. (Hmm...do you think I should cry when I say that?)''
 * Brother Sitai

Reward dialogue
''You found another of those nightmarish creatures? And so close to the Monastery? *Gasp* I must inform the emperor. With all the guests for the summer festival here we can't let the situation get out of control. (Okay, that's a wrap folks!)''
 * Imperial Guard Hanso
