Limited Conversation

Rook finds Bellara talking to Emmrich in his room.

Bellara: A third edition of The Unnamable Elements? I didn’t even know it had editions!

Emmrich: Oh, it’s much improved with the index. Please borrow it, if you’d like.

Bellara: I’d love to—oh, Rook! You probably want to say hi. Thanks, Professor!

Bellara leaves.

Rook: You look moved in.

Emmrich: Just a few essentials. Manfred was a great help with the boxes.

Manfred: (Friendly hiss)

Emmrich: What a fascinating place this Lighthouse is! What do you make of it?

Dialogue options:

1 - Flirt: Better with an expert mage.
Mourn WatcherNon-Mourn Watcher
Rook: It’s much nicer with another Mourn Watcher around.

Emmrich: Is it?
Rook: I think I like it better with a necromancer in the place.

Emmrich: Do you?

Rook: Especially one with experience.

Emmrich: I must be sure to live up to expectations.

Rook: Did you get the tour yet?

Emmrich: Oh, I’ve been exploring, but…

Scene continues. [7]


2 - Beautiful. Surprisingly comfy.

Rook: It’s great. Big, mysterious, lots of art, everyone’s got their own room…

Emmrich: It’d be easy to fall in love with such a place.

Rook: I think Bellara has.

Emmrich: She’s been quite welcoming. However…

Scene continues. [7]


3 - It’s better with more people.

Rook: Early on, it mostly felt empty. But it’s gotten more homey with each new person.

Emmrich: For all its grandeur, the Lighthouse does seem meant for company.

Rook: Did you get the tour yet?

Emmrich: Oh, I’ve been exploring, but…

Scene continues. [7]


4 - It’s fine.

Rook: It’s… you know, big. Floaty. Fancy walls.

Emmrich: Oh, but there’s so much more to it than that!

Rook: Bellara seems to think so too.

Emmrich: She’s been quite welcoming. However…

Scene continues. [7]


5 - Mourn Watch: Nice, but no Grand Necropolis.

Rook: It’s impressive, but it doesn’t have the scope of the tombs back home.

Emmrich: What does? Still, what a refreshing marvel.

Rook: Bellara’s already running experiments.

Emmrich: She’s kindly shown me around. However…

Scene continues. [7]


6 - Veil Jumper: You should see Arlathan.

Rook: I should take you to some of the weirder places I discovered with the Veil Jumpers.

Emmrich: Would you? Bellara’s tales of Arlathan have been astonishing.

Rook: I’ll bet. The wonders she could show you…

Emmrich: Oh, Bellara’s been very welcoming, but…

7 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.

Emmrich: I noticed a few of the others taken aback by Manfred. And I overheard remarks about my skulls. My necromancy won’t cause any undue worry, will it?

Dialogue options:

8 - Affable: Everyone’s just new.

Rook: We’re still getting used to one another.

Emmrich: True. And yet…

Rook: Give it time, we’ll settle in.

Scene continues. [12]


9 - Sarcastic: Nah! Well, maybe a little.

Rook: No way!

Emmrich: (Relieved sigh)

Rook: But a few people might not get it.

Emmrich: Oh, I’d hoped to make a good first impression.

Rook: Bellara’s excited you’re here. Everyone else just has to get to know you.

Scene continues. [12]


10 - Stoic: We’ve seen weirder.

Rook: We’ll be fighting weirder stuff than necromancy.

Emmrich: Ah, that’s the hope.

Scene continues. [12]


11 - Mourn Watch Mage: Mine doesn’t. I think.

Rook: No one’s afraid of my necromancy.

Emmrich: That’s a relief.

Rook: That I know of.

Emmrich: (Sighs) Our art is so easily vilified.

Rook: That’s life outside Nevarra. You’ll win them over.

Scene continues. [12]


12 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.

Manfred: (Impatient hissing)

Emmrich: Please excuse me. Manfred and I should finish our inventory. Thank you for stopping by.
