[edit | edit source]Talking to Velorina
[edit | edit source]- If the player is not wearing the amulet of ghostspeak:
- Velorina: Woooo wooo wooooo woooo
- You cannot understand the ghost.
- (End of dialogue)
- If the player is wearing the amulet of ghostspeak:
- Velorina: Take pity on me, please - eternity stretches out before me and I am helpless in its grasp.
- Select an option
- Why, what is the matter?
- Player: Why, what is the matter?
- Velorina: Oh, I'm sorry - I was just wailing out loud. I didn't mean to scare you.
- Player: No, that's okay - it takes more than a ghost to scare me. What is wrong?
- Velorina: Do you know the history of our town?
- Select an option
- Yes, I do. It is a very sad story.
- Player: Yes, I do. It is a very sad story.
- Velorina: Would you help us obtain our release into the next world?
- (Continues below)
- No - could you tell me?
- Player: No - could you tell me?
- Velorina: Do you know why ghosts exist?
- Player: A ghost is a soul left in limbo, unable to pass over to the next world; they might have something left to do in this world that torments them, or they might just have died in a state of confusion.
- Velorina: Yes, that is normally the case. But here in Port Phasmatys, we of this town once chose freely to become ghosts!
- Player: Why on earth would you do such a thing?
- Velorina: It is a long story. Many years ago, this was a thriving port, a trading centre to the eastern lands of Gielinor. We became rich on the profits made from the traders that came across the eastern seas.
- Velorina: We were very happy... until Lord Drakan noticed us.
- Velorina: He sent unholy creatures to demand that a blood-tithe be paid to the Lord Vampyre, as is required from all in the domain of Morytania. We had no choice but to agree to his demands.
- Velorina: As the years went by, our numbers dwindled and many spoke of abandoning the town for safer lands. Then, Necrovarus came to us.
- Velorina: He came from the eastern lands, but of more than that, little is known. Some say he was once a mage, some say a priest. Either way, he was in possession of knowledge totally unknown to even the most learned among us.
- Velorina: Necrovarus told us that he had been brought by a vision he'd had of an underground source of power. He inspired us to delve beneath the town, promising us the power to repel the vampyres.
- Velorina: Deep underneath Phasmatys, we found a pool of green slime that Necrovarus called ectoplasm. He showed us how to build the Ectofuntus, which would turn the ectoplasm into the power he had promised us.
- Velorina: Indeed, this Ectopower did repel the vampyres; they would not enter Phasmatys once the Ectofuntus began working. But little did we know that we had exchanged one evil for yet another - Ectopower.
- Velorina: Little by little, we began to lose any desire for food or water, and our desire for the Ectopower grew until it dominated our thoughts entirely. Our bodies shrivelled and, one by one, we died.
- Velorina: The Ectofuntus and the power it emanates keeps us here as ghosts - some, like myself, content to remain in this world; some becoming tortured souls who we do not allow to pass our gates.
- Velorina: We would be able to pass over into the next world but Necrovarus has used his power to create a psychic barrier, preventing us.
- Velorina: We must remain here for all eternity, even unto the very end of the world.
- Player: That's a very sad story.
- Velorina: Would you help us obtain our release into the next world?
- Start the Ghosts Ahoy quest?
- Yes.
- Player: Yes, of course I will. Tell me what you want me to do.
- Velorina: Oh, thank you!
- Velorina: Necrovarus will not listen to those of us who are already dead. He might rethink his position if someone with a mortal soul pleaded our cause.
- Velorina: If he declines, there may yet be another way.
- (End of dialogue)
- No.
- Player: I'm sorry, but it isn't really my problem.
- Velorina: No, you're right - it's our own fault. If you do change your mind though, please come back and help us. We will be here ... forever.
- (End of dialogue)
- Sorry, I'm scared of ghosts.
- Player: Leave me alone - I'm scared of ghosts!!!

- Player: You spoke of another way.
- Velorina: It is only a small chance. During the building of the Ectofuntus one of Necrovarus's disciples spoke out against him. It is such a long time ago I cannot remember her name, although I knew her as a friend.
- Velorina: She fled before the Ectofuntus took control over us, but being a disciple of Necrovarus she would have been privy to many of his darkest secrets. She may know of a way to aid us without Necrovarus.

- Old crone: Yes, Velorina was once a very good friend! It has been many years since we spoke last. How is she?
- Player: She's a ghost, I'm afraid.
- Old crone: They are all dead, then. Even Velorina. I should have done something to stop what was happening, instead of running away.
- Player: She and many others want to pass on into the next world, but Necrovarus will not let them. Do you know of any way to help them?

- Old crone: He was about twelve years old when he ran away with some pirates to be a cabin boy. I never saw him again.
- Player: That's the second saddest story I have heard today.
- Old crone: If you ever see him, please give him this...and tell him that his mother still loves him.
- The old woman gives you a toy boat.
- (Player receives a Model ship.)

- Robin: If a player draws the Death rune then the game is over, and they have lost.
- Robin: A player can choose to hold if they wish and not draw any more runes, but this runs the risk of the other player drawing more runes until they have a greater points total and win.

Talking to the Ghost innkeeper
[edit | edit source]- Player: Hello there!
- Ghost innkeeper: Greetings, traveller. Welcome to 'The Green Ghost' Tavern. What can I do you for?
- Can I buy a beer?
- Player: Can I buy a beer?
- Ghost innkeeper: Sorry, but our pumps dried up over half a century ago. We of this village do not have much of a thirst these days.
- (End of dialogue)
- Can I hear some gossip?
- Player: Can I hear some gossip?
- Ghost innkeeper: I suppose, as long as you keep it to yourself...
- Ghost innkeeper: You see Gravingas out there in the marketplace? He speaks for the silent majority of Port Phasmatys, for those of us who would prefer to pass over into the next world.
- (End of dialogue)
- What happened to the folk of this town?
- Player: What happened to the folk of this town?
- Ghost innkeeper: That's a long story, my friend, but you look like you have the time...
- Ghost innkeeper: Do you know why ghosts exist?
- Player: A ghost is a soul left in limbo, unable to pass over to the next world; they might have something left to do in this world that torments them, or they might just have died in a state of confusion.
- Ghost innkeeper: Yes, that is normally the case. But here in Port Phasmatys, we of this town once chose freely to become ghosts!
- Player: Why on earth would you do such a thing?
- Ghost innkeeper: It is a long story. Many years ago, this was a thriving port, a trading centre to the eastern lands of Gielinor. We became rich on the profits made from the traders that came across the eastern seas.
- Ghost innkeeper: We were very happy... until Lord Drakan noticed us.
- Ghost innkeeper: He sent unholy creatures to demand that a blood-tithe be paid to the Lord Vampyre, as is required from all in the domain of Morytania. We had no choice but to agree to his demands.
- Ghost innkeeper: As the years went by, our numbers dwindled and many spoke of abandoning the town for safer lands. Then, Necrovarus came to us.
- Ghost innkeeper: He came from the eastern lands, but of more than that, little is known. Some say he was once a mage, some say a priest. Either way, he was in possession of knowledge totally unknown to even the most learned among us.
- Ghost innkeeper: Necrovarus told us that he had been brought by a vision he'd had of an underground source of power. He inspired us to delve beneath the town, promising us the power to repel the vampyres.
- Ghost innkeeper: Deep underneath Phasmatys, we found a pool of green slime that Necrovarus called ectoplasm. He showed us how to build the Ectofuntus, which would turn the ectoplasm into the power he had promised us.
- Ghost innkeeper: Indeed, this Ectopower did repel the vampyres; they would not enter Phasmatys once the Ectofuntus began working. But little did we know that we had exchanged one evil for yet another - Ectopower.
- Ghost innkeeper: Little by little, we began to lose any desire for food or water, and our desire for the Ectopower grew until it dominated our thoughts entirely. Our bodies shrivelled and, one by one, we died.
- Ghost innkeeper: The Ectofuntus and the power it emanates keeps us here as ghosts - some, like myself, content to remain in this world; some becoming tortured souls who we do not allow to pass our gates.
- Ghost innkeeper: We would be able to pass over into the next world but Necrovarus has used his power to create a psychic barrier, preventing us.
- Ghost innkeeper: We must remain here for all eternity, even unto the very end of the world.
- (End of dialogue)
- Do you have any jobs I can do?
- If the player does not have a bedsheet in their inventory:
- Player: Do you have any jobs I can do?

- Yes, I'd be delighted.
- Player: Yes, I'd be delighted.
- Ghost innkeeper: Oh, thank you. Be careful with that Robin, though - he's far too full of himself, that one.
