Sleepwalking
Back to Lucanis Directory
Limited Conversation
Rook walks into Lucanis’s room, but he isn’t there.
Rook: Lucanis? Where is he?
Rook heads to the eluvian room. Taash is blocking the eluvian and Harding stands nearby.
Harding: Back, demon! No further! Isn’t standing up to them supposed to work?
Taash: Let Lucanis go. Don’t make us hurt both of you.
Rook: What’s going on? Lucanis?
Harding: It’s not Lucanis! It’s the demon. It’s taken him over—he’s trying to leave!
Lucanis (Spite): (Inhales) Smells like… jam and brimstone.
Harding: Rook, do something!
Dialogue options:
- Affable: Spite, enough. [1]
+ Lucanis Approves - Sarcastic: I need to reach Lucanis. [2]
+ Lucanis Approves - Stoic: Lucanis doesn’t belong to you. [3]
1 - Affable: Spite, enough.
Rook: Spite, stop. You’re not taking Lucanis through the eluvian.
Lucanis (Spite): I could! If you’d move!
Harding: So you can take him where? Off a cliff? Or worse?
Lucanis: How did… Rook? Taash? Ah…
2 - Sarcastic: I need to reach Lucanis.
Rook: Lucanis! Wake up!
Lucanis: Ugh. What the…?
3 - Stoic: Lucanis doesn’t belong to you.
Rook: Spite, this man is not your puppet—and stunts like this won’t change that.
Lucanis: How did… Rook? Taash? Ah…

Return to previous tree.Harding: You… tried to walk through the eluvian in your sleep.
Taash: Spite wanted out.
Lucanis: (Sighs) I need coffee.
Dialogue options:
- Affable: Are you okay? [5]
- Sarcastic: Coffee can’t fix everything. [6]
- Stoic: You’re becoming a liability. [7]
5 - Affable: Are you okay?
Rook: Are you sure you’re all right?
Lucanis: This… could be better.
6 - Sarcastic: Coffee can’t fix everything.
Rook: You can’t just caffeinate your way out of this.
7 - Stoic: You’re becoming a liability.
Rook: If you can’t control this demon, I don’t know if I can rely on you.
Lucanis: I can control him. And I will.
8 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Lucanis: It’s hard for Spite to take control when I’m awake, so… I try to stay awake.
Harding: You can’t just stay awake forever. I think that would kill you.
Lucanis: I’ll be more careful next time.

9 - Our mages can help.
Rook: We do have magical experts here, you know.
| Mage Rook | Non-Mage Rook |
|---|---|
| Rook: Once we put our heads together, we’ll figure this out. | Rook: Once they put their heads together, they’ll fix this. |
Lucanis: I already talked to Neve and Bellara. Don’t worry about it. This won’t happen again.
10 - Can we talk to spite?
Rook: We have to make Spite understand that he’s endangering you.
Lucanis: He’s “Spite,” not “Learning.” He doesn’t listen to anyone. Don’t worry about it. This won’t happen again.
11 - Tie yourself down.
Rook: You need to restrain yourself while you sleep. Lock the door, tie yourself to the bed—whatever it takes.
Lucanis: I’ll come up with something.
12 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Lucanis: And… thanks.
