[edit] Initial Dialogue
- Johai Sohn
This is a disaster of epic proportions! My shipment of red dyes has been waylaid. We need them for our decoration to keep the nian at bay. If we do not get them back, things could be...bad.
I can think of no other group that could be responsible for this except the Knights Who Say Nian! They are a fearsome lot that disrupt our festival each year. They gather at Onghsang Island in Kinya Province, if you are brave enough to seek them out. Will you help me recover my dyes?
Accept: "I'll nerf their nefarious plans!"
Decline: "My constitution is too faint for this!"
Ask: "About those dyes...you know we are on a deadline, right? Emphasis on "dead."
[edit] Intermediate Dialogue
- Haef Bei: "Who is it that dares face the Knights Who Say Nian?"
- Chae Plan: "NIAN!"
- Pah Pei: "NIAN!"
- Haef Bei: "Could it be more foolish heroes trying to save their festival? Look, the thing is we're putting an end to it this year. That's just the way it is."
- Pah Pei: "Why are we still talking? Come on, let's just go already. Let's roll these guys!"
- Chae Plan: "These plebeians are no match for us. They have no dignity!"
- Haef Bei: "Well, it's not like anyone is a match for us, right? I'm just saying.... Let's just get this over with."
[edit] Reward Dialogue
- Johai Sohn
You have averted a crisis bigger than you know, my friend. Now that I have these dyes back, I can paint the town red. And when I say that, I mean it strictly in a work-related manner.
[edit] Notes
- The knights are members of a guild with the cape shown in the image.
[edit] Trivia
- The title of this quest is a reference to The Knights Who Say Ni in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- The addition of the level 5 requirement has probably been added to prevent farming of the festival quests that took place during the 2007 celebration.
