Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Sinni

"My father was a fool and his fate is fitting, but I am still his daughter. I have long hoped to spare his spirit the torment he earned in life. I had entombed him in an altar as is our way. Unfortunately, a dark spirit trapped his soul. There is now only one way to free my father’s soul. Someone must journey to my father’s altar and defeat the dark spirit binding it. Are you noble enough to risk your life aiding the spirit of a foolish man?"

 Accept: "I’ll do what I can."

 Decline: "I have enough things to worry about."

 Ask: "My father’s soul waits, bound to his altar. Free him."

Reward dialogue

Sinni

"Thank you, hero. My father always said, "Life is pain. Anyone who tells you different is selling something." I am beginning to believe him. Take this please, it is not much but I am thankful."

Trivia

• The quote "Life is pain. Anyone who tells you different is selling something." is likely taken from the movie The Princess Bride.
