Starting off

Larrissa: Oh, thank Armadyl! I am in such a worry... please help me!
Select an Option
With what?
- Player: With what?
- Larrissa: Oh... it is terrible... horrible... My boyfriend lives here in this lighthouse, but I haven't seen him the last few days! I think something terrible has happened!
- Larrissa: Look, you can see for yourself that the light has gone out, and the front door is locked up tight! He would NEVER do that!
- Larrissa: With the light off this coastline is terribly dangerous to ships! And to lock the front door so that nobody can turn the light back on?
- Player: Maybe he just went on holiday or something? Must be pretty boring living in a lighthouse.
- Larrissa: That is terribly irresponsible! He is far too thoughtful for that! He would never leave it unattended! He would also never leave without telling me!
- Larrissa: Please, I know something terrible has happened to him... I can sense it! Please... please help me adventurer!
- Select an Option
- But how can I help?
  - Player: But how can I help?
  - Larrissa: Well, we have to do something to get the lighthouse working again! Also, as you may have noticed, the storm that knocked the bridge out
  - Larrissa: has trapped me on this causeway! You seem to have got here okay somehow, so if you could go and visit my cousin and get the spare key I left him,
  - Larrissa: as well as fix the bridge enough so that I can go and speak to my family in Rellekka and tell them whats happened, I will be eternally grateful!
  - Start the Horror from the Deep quest?
  - Yes.
    - Player: Okay, I'll help!
    - Larrissa: OH! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know my darling would never have left with the lighthouse lights off and without even telling me where he's gone!
    - Select an Option
    - Where is your cousin?
      - Player: Where is your cousin?
      - Larrissa: My cousin was always interested in agility. He left our home in Rellekka many moons ago, so that he could pursue this interest.
      - Larrissa: I don't exactly know where he has gone, but I am sure he went somewhere to practise his agility. If you see him, his name is Gunnjorn. Mention my name, he will recognise it.
      - (Shows other options)
    - How can I fix the bridge?
      - Player: How can I fix the bridge?
      - Larrissa: Well, I am not just some helpless girl! I have pretty good agility, so you will only need to use two planks to make a ledge that I can balance along.
      - Larrissa: Just use a plank on each side of the bridge. You will need a hammer, and thirty steel nails for each plank you use as well. I believe there are some planks near here...

Player: Yeah, that's great. Anyway, I understand you have a cousin named Larrissa who gave you a key...?
Gunnjorn: Yes, she did! How do you know of this? She said she probably wouldn't need it, but gave it to me for safe keeping just in case.
