Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Sehti

"Pardon me, <Player name>. You look like a capable and helpful soul.

"My son, Suwash, always played at being a corsair. You know, wearing an eyepatch, refusing to bathe, speaking funny...but he never grew out of it! I told him, "Grow up! Nothing good will come of this childish obsession!" As usual I was right.

"When the corsairs raided our village, they mistook my son as one of their own and dragged him away! The raiding groups were last seen heading southwest. If they find out Suwash isn't really a corsair, his life will be in danger! I beg of you, please rescue him."

 Accept: "Don't worry, ma'am. I'll rescue your son."

 Decline: "Mothers shouldn't let their babies grow up to be corsairs."

 Ask: "Not to seem ungrateful, but shouldn't you be out saving my son, Suwash, from the corsair raiding groups?"

Intermediate dialogue

Suwash

"Yarr.... So t'was me mother what sent ye out to save me? Whiles I 'preciate the effort, I've decided the life o' a corsair 'tis the life for me. And now that ye've slain these scurvy corsairs, I figures their ship'll be the first thing I loot fer me'self. Tell me mother I'll not be back until me name is feared o'er all the lands...or until an 'orrible 'unger comes o'er me...whichever 'appens first."

Reward dialogue

Sehti

"He's off to live the life of a corsair you say? Dropping the first letter of certain words? Disgusting! Even in the face of death he refuses to grow up. That's Suwash in a nutshell. Don't you worry about it. He'll be back in time to eat. And then I'll tan his hide a bright shade of red for making me worry. Thank you for saving his life, anyway. Please take this for your trouble."

Trivia

• The name "Suwash" is derived from a combination of Wash, and Steve the Pirate, both characters played by the actor Alan Tudyk.
• The decline dialogue is probably a reference to the country music song "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" by Ed Bruce.
• Suwash is referenced in the Guild Wars 2 meta event An Unlikely Pirate.
