Dialogue[edit]
Initial dialogue[edit]
- Imperial Guard Hanso
- "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, <character name>? *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."
Accept: "I can see it now...my name in lights!"
Decline: "Sorry, I'm destined for greater roles."
Ask: "Travel to Sunqua Vale and meet Imperial Guard Musashi. Proceed to the Shrine of Maat and investigate the matter."
Intermediate dialogue[edit]
- Imperial Guard Musashi
- "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."
- 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...)"
- Brother Sitai
- "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?)"
Reward dialogue[edit]
- Imperial Guard Hanso
- "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!)"
Notes[edit]
- Imperial Guard Musashi does not need to survive to complete the quest.
Trivia[edit]
- In the subsequent Dragon Festivals, all quests were re-enactments of the first Dragon Festival's events. As such, the Lesser Grasps were replaced with actors.
