Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Guildmaster Luan

"If they killed Informant Tahzen, they no doubt wish to cover their tracks. Those lowly dogs will be after the crew of the Siren's Song. You must go to Kaineng Docks and question the deckhands if we are to learn more about this wicked plot. And hurry!"

 Accept: "Time is of the essence. To the deckhands!"

 Decline: "Isn't it about time you hired a new crew, anyway?"

 Ask: "Question the crew of the Siren's Song at the Kaineng Docks."

Intermediate dialogue

Deckhand Jakob

"Our recent cargo? All I know is it was the biggest haul of coin I've ever seen. The captain was on the edge the whole trip. He even made us fireproof one of the storage compartments as an extra precaution."

Mariner Kevan

"Tis bad luck for a ship to pretend it's a floating coffer, understand? Bunch of rich Canthans and some unmarked cargo is all I know. The captain was worried that the boat would catch fire, so he ordered a deckhand to fireproof one of the holds."

Captain Ander

"That is the last time I let a glitter of gold convince me to take on a risky job. Old Kevan and his superstitions can be right sometimes. Just a quick cargo trip from the Fire Island Chain to Kaineng City for some rich Canthans is all it was supposed to be. That monstrosity nearly got loose and burnt my precious Siren's Song from bow to stern! A fiery devil, it was!"

Reward dialogue

Guildmaster Luan

"The bodies of those men you talked to were discovered shortly after you left. It is obvious that these vermin are serious about their assassination attempt. This is far worse than I could have imagined!"
