Talking to them for the first time
[edit | edit source]- Miodvetnir: Oh look, a human!
- Dernu: A human? Can we eat it?
- Derni: No, you rock brain! Humans are our friends!
- Player: Hello, excuse me...
- Miodvetnir: Not sure if I would call them our friends... Not enemies either, of course.
- Dernu: Not like the trolls. We hate trolls.
- Player: Excuse me, I just want to-
- Derni: Nothing's worse than a troll.
- Dernu: Except discovering that your pickaxe's gone blunt just as you-
- Player: Excuse me!!!
- Miodvetnir: Why, hello, yes, what is it?
- Player: I er... well, who are you?
- Derni: I'm Derni.
- Dernu: I'm Dernu.
- Miodvetnir: And I'm Miodvetnir. These are my brothers. And who might you be?
- Player: My name is [player name].
- Derni: Pleased to meet you, [player name]!
- Dernu: I say, we don't get to see a hummon down here very often!
- Miodvetnir: It's a human, you metal head! You should pay more attention!
- Player: So, can I ask you dwarves a few questions?
- Miodvetnir: Of course, we love answering questions!
- Dernu: We're very good at answering questions!
- Derni: Fire away!
Thereafter
[edit | edit source]- Miodvetnir: Hello again, [player name]!
- Dernu: Are you lost down here?
- Derni: Or were you just stopping by for a chat?
- Player: Just stopping by for a chat.
- (Before starting The Giant Dwarf:) What's down this river?
- Player: What's down this river?
- Miodvetnir: Oh, you don't know?
- Dernu: [He/she] doesn't know?
- Derni: [He/she] doesn't know!
- Player: Can't you just tell me?
- Miodvetnir: It is our glorious city!
- Dernu: The grand city of the dwarves!
- Derni: Sparkling jewel of the mountain!
- Miodvetnir: Keldagrim, our home!
- Player: Can you take me there?
- Derni: Oh no, we can't do that.
- Miodvetnir: We're far too busy.
- Dernu: You have to keep busy, you see.
- Derni: Always keep busy, is what our good father used to say.
- Dernu: Besides, there's been some weird going ons in the city.
- Derni: Don't tell [him/her] that! None of [his/her] business!
- Miodvetnir: Only fair if [he/she] wants to go into the city.
- Dernu: Oh yes, they only just cleaned up the mess from the last little incident.
- Miodvetnir: So watch out if you ever do manage to travel to the city! Weird things could happen!

- Any good spots to fish around here?
- Player: Any good spots to fish around here?
- Miodvetnir: Fish?
- Derni: Fish?
- Dernu: What are fish?
- Miodvetnir: No fish around here.
- After Fishing Contest:
- Miodvetnir: Say, you're the Fishing Champion, aren't you?
- Derni: That must be why you were talking about fish then...
- Dernu: What are fish?
- Derni: But this water here, you see, it comes dripping down from above.
- Miodvetnir: Molten snow, you see.
- Dernu: What are fish?
- Derni: Oh, they're these small wriggly things that live in the water.
- Miodvetnir: But they're not all small! Some can be large!
- Derni: And they don't breathe air.
- After Fishing Contest:
- Miodvetnir: But [player name] could tell you all about it! After all, [he's/she's] the Fishing Champion!
- Player: Maybe later...
- (Shows initial options)
- What are these mines used for?
- Player: What are these mines used for?
- Miodvetnir: What does it look like they're used for?
- Derni: Isn't it obvious?
- Dernu: For mining of course!
- Miodvetnir: These mines are actually the territory of one of the eight major companies of the mining Consortium.
- Before The Giant Dwarf:
- Player: Mining companies? Where are they at then?
- Derni: Oh, they all have their headquarters in the city.
- Dernu: First floor of the palace.
- Derni: No need to give [him/her] directions.
- Miodvetnir: We haul all our goods to the city by ship, you see.
- Dernu: Since the mine carts don't come here.
- Derni: But because the river goes right to the city, this is just as easy.
- (Shows initial options)
- (During Between a Rock...:) Can you help me with this rock?
- Player: Can you help me with this rock down in the mines?

- Miodvetnir: Say, is that Dondakan's rock?
- Dernu: That big unbreakable rock?
- Derni: That's what [he/she] said, isn't[sic]? Pay more attention!
- Player: Yes, yes, that's the one.
- Miodvetnir: Oh, you're not going to get through there I'm afraid.
- Dernu: It's unbreakable, you see.
- Derni: Dondakan's been there for...
- Derni: How long would you say he's been there, Miotvednir[sic]?
- Miodvetnir: Eighteen years, Derni, and not a year shorter!
- Dernu: That's some dedication!
- Derni: But look at what it got him.
- Dernu: Nothing, that's what.
- Player: Never mind.
- (Shows initial options)
- (During Between a Rock...:) What material would break that rock?
- Player: What material would break that rock? You know, the impenetrable one?

- Dernu: What about a bronze pickaxe?
- Miodvetnir: A bronze pickaxe??
- Derni: What good would that do?

- Player: Never mind.
- (Shows initial options)
- (During Between a Rock...:) Do you know anyone named Rolad?

- Player: He thinks I'm actually going to fly through it and land on the other side.
- Derni: That sounds a bit daft.
- Miodvetnir: How would that work?
- Dernu: I think you're going to hurt your head.
- Derni: Old Dondakan might have finally lost it.
- Miodvetnir: He was always obsessed with that rock.
- Dernu: And gold.
- Derni: Right, and gold.
- Player: Never mind.
- (Shows initial options)
- (During Between a Rock...:) Any tips on how to defeat an evil demon?
- Player: Any tips on how to defeat an evil demon?
- Miodvetnir: An evil demon, you say?
- Dernu: I'd run away if I ever ran into an evil demon.
- Derni: Don't be such a coward, Dernu!
- Dernu: Well, what would you do then?
- Derni: I don't know, I've never encountered an evil demon.
- Miodvetnir: I once met a good demon though.
- Dernu: Oh yes, what did he say?
- Miodvetnir: He gave me a puzzle box and then went off again.
- Derni: I think you must have had too much dwarven stout in you.
- Miodvetnir: Could be, could be, but there's no telling, is there?
- Player: Never mind.

- Derni: That's fantastic!
- Dernu: What rock was that again?
- Derni: Pay attention for once, Dernu! It's Dondakan's rock!
- Miodvetnir: That's quite impressive, Player. How did you manage to do that?
- Player: Well, you see, I just-
- Derni: What kind of question is that to ask? With [his/her/their] great might of course!
- Dernu: Or vast magical skills!
- Miodvetnir: No, you're more a ranger, aren't you Player?
- Player: Actually, I-
- Derni: Anyway, this calls for a celebration.
- Dernu: Oh yes, we should go down into Keldagrim to celebrate.
- Miodvetnir: Tonight, of course, not now. We're on duty now.
- Derni: Right... and I'm sure traffic here will pick up soon with that rock broken.
- Miodvetnir: I heard there's vast amount of gold inside!
- Dernu: The company is going to be rich!
- Derni: Now don't you go and discuss company business in front of this human, Dernu.
- Miodvetnir: Right. Let's get back to work.

- Dernu: I got this puzzle box once, you know.
- Derni: Oh, not that story again.
- Miodvetnir: You have told that story before, Dernu.
- Dernu: Well forget about it then. I'll shut up if you don't want to hear about it.
- Player: Never mind.
- (Shows initial options)
- After helping Blasidar:
- Player: Well, the sculptor only needs to build the head now. But I need to get the Consortium to help me with that.
- Miodvetnir: The Consortium, you say?
- Dernu: You're going to talk to the Consortium?
- Derni: My, you're certainly moving up in the dwarven world, aren't you?
- Miodvetnir: What do you need us for then?

- Player: Do you know about this drunken dwarf...?
- Miodvetnir: Drunken dwarf?

- Derni: In fact we know plenty!
- Dernu: There's this one really annoying dwarf though, he sometimes throws rocks at me for no reason.
- Player: Yeah, tell me about it.
- Player: The one I mean is his relative, living in the northeast of Keldagrim. I wonder if you could help me with him.
- Miodvetnir: Ah yes, him.
- Derni: Such a sad case, poor fellow.
- Dernu: Who is he?
- Derni: Don't you know anything?
- Miodvetnir: Now now, there's no reason to get angry.
- Derni: I suppose you're right. Well, he's a drunk dwarf that talks about kebabs a lot.
