Starting off

Talking to Brundt the Chieftain

Select an option
What is this place?
- Player: What is this place?
- Brundt the Chieftain: This place? Why, this is Rellekka! Homeland of all Fremennik! I do not recognise your face outerlander; Where do you come from?
- Player: That's not important...
- Brundt the Chieftain: Hmmm... I will not press the issue then outerlander. How may my tribe and I help you?
- Select an option
- Do you have any quests?
  - Player: Do you have any quests?
  - Brundt the Chieftain: Quests, you say outerlander? Well, I would not call it a quest as such, but if you are brave of heart and strong of body, perhaps...
  - Brundt the Chieftain: No, you would not be interested. Forget I said anything, outerlander.
  - Select an Option
  - Yes, I am interested.
    - Player: Actually, I would be very interested to hear what you have to offer.
    - Brundt the Chieftain: You would? These are unusual sentiments to hear from an outerlander! My suggestion was going to be that if you crave adventure and battle,
    - Brundt the Chieftain: and your heart sings for glory, then perhaps you would be interested in joining our clan, and becoming a Fremennik yourself?
    - Player: What would that involve exactly?
    - Brundt the Chieftain: Well, there are two ways to become a member of our clan and call yourself a Fremennik: be born a Fremennik, or be voted in by our council of elders.
    - Player: Well, I think I've missed the first way, but how can I get the council of elders to vote to let me join your clan?
    - Brundt the Chieftain: Well, that I cannot answer myself. You will need to speak to each of them and see what they require of you as proof of your dedication.
    - Brundt the Chieftain: There are twelve council members around this village; you will need to gain a majority vote of at least seven councillors in your favour.
    - Brundt the Chieftain: So what say you? Give me the word, and I will tell all of my tribe of your intentions, be they yea or nay.
    - If the player is missing at least one requirement before starting the quest:
      - Before starting this quest, be aware that one or more of your skill levels are lower than what is required to fully complete it.
      - (Continues below)
    - Start The Fremennik Trials quest?
      - Yes.
        
        Player: I think I would enjoy the challenge of becoming an honorary Fremennik. Where and how do I start?
        
        Brundt the Chieftain: As I say outerlander, you must find and speak to the twelve members of the council of elders, and see what tasks they might set you.
        
        Brundt the Chieftain: If you can gain the support of seven of the twelve, then you will be accepted as one of us without question.
        
        (End of dialogue)
      - No.
        
        Player: No way do I want to become like YOU! Forget you, and forget your whole stupid town! You're a bunch of stupid primitives, from what I've seen!
        
        Brundt the Chieftain: I am sorry to say that I expected such a response from an outerlander. I thought perhaps you might have been different to all the others...
        
        (End of dialogue)
  - No, I'm not interested.
    - Player: You're right. I really couldn't care less.
    - Brundt the Chieftain: It is as I thought outerlander. Your kind care nothing for the Fremennik, and we feel the same about you. This is the way of the world.
    - (End of dialogue)
- Why will no-one talk to me?
  - Player: Why will no-one talk to me?
  - Brundt the Chieftain: Do not take it personally, outerlander! We are a simple people, and it is our experience that keeping ourselves to ourselves is best. This is why speaking to outerlanders is forbidden.
  - Brundt the Chieftain: We do not wish to enter war with the outerlanders and their strange magics, so we limit all unauthorised communication.
  - Player: Then how come you're talking to me?
  - Brundt the Chieftain: Ah, this is because I am the chieftain. I am the one who authorises contact. You will not find many of my tribe so forthcoming with you, as I.
  - Player: Is there a way for you to authorise your tribe to talk to me then?
  - Brundt the Chieftain: Well, there is one way... but I doubt it is of any interest to you.
  - Player: Actually, I would be very interested to hear what you have to offer.
  - Brundt the Chieftain: You would? These are unusual sentiments to hear from an outerlander! My suggestion was going to be that if you crave adventure and battle,
  - Brundt the Chieftain: and your heart sings for glory, then perhaps you would be interested in joining our clan, and becoming a Fremennik yourself?
  - Player: What would that involve exactly?

- (Non-quest dialogue) I seek an army to destroy Asgarnia!
Why will no-one talk to me?
- (Same as above)
Do you have any quests?
- Player: Do you have any quests?
- Brundt the Chieftain: Quests, you say outerlander? Well, I would not call it a quest as such, but if you are brave of heart and strong of body, perhaps...

Player: But you don't even know me!
Inga: You also smell bad. And have stupid hair. And bad breath. And you walk a bit funny.
Player: I didn't come all the way up here just to be insulted!
Inga: No, I'm quite sure you could have found plenty of people to insult you wherever your home is.

Askeladden: You and me both buddy! We're both doing the same trials! This is my trial of manhood! How you finding it so far? Pretty easy, huh buddy?

Sassilik: Sure. On one condition.
Player: (sigh) What condition?
Sassilik: Actually there is no condition! I don't want to vote for you! You seem too gullible to be a Fremennik!

(End of dialogue)

Fisherman

Player: Are you a member of the Fremmenik council?
Fisherman: Indeed I am, outerlander. Why do you ask?

Fisherman: Aye, that is indeed true.
Player: So can I have your vote?
Fisherman: You can have my vote on the day the skies turn red, the waters turn pink, the rocks turn yellow and the sun turns black.

The Council Members

Manni the Reveller

Player: Hello there!
Manni the Reveller: Hello outerlander. I overheard your conversation with Brundt just now. You wish to become a member of the Fremennik?
Player: That's right! Why, are you on the council?
Manni the Reveller: Do not let my drink-soused appearance fool you, I earnt my place on the council many years past. I am always glad to see new blood enter our tribe, and will happily vote for you.
Player: Great!
Manni the Reveller: ...Providing you can pass a little test for me. As a Fremennik, you will need to show cunning, stamina, fortitude, and an iron constitution. I know of only one way to test all of these.
Player: And what's that?
Manni the Reveller: Why, a drinking contest!
Manni the Reveller: The task is simple enough! You versus me, a stiff drink each, last man standing wins the trial. So what say you?
Select an option
Yes
- Player: A drinking contest? Easy. Set them up, and I'll knock them back.
- If the player does not already have the tankard and/or beer tankard:
  - Manni the Reveller: When you are ready to begin, go and pick up a keg from that table over there, and come back here.
  - Manni the Reveller: We start when you have your keg of beer with you, and finish when one of us can drink no more and yields.
- (End of dialogue)
No
- Player: I don't think drinking myself into a stupor is a very good way of testing my worthiness.
- Manni the Reveller: Well, perhaps it's not, but it's my way. If you want my vote at the council, I'm afraid you're going to have to drink me under the table.
- Player: I'm going to find someone else to vote for me then.
- Manni the Reveller: As you wish, outerlander.
- (End of dialogue)

Talking to Manni the Reveller again

If the player does not have the beer tankards:
- Player: Hello there!
- (Same as above)
If the player has the beer tankards:
- Manni the Reveller: As, I see you have your keg of beer. Are we ready to drink against each other?
- Select an option
- Yes
  - Player: Yes, let's start this drinking contest!
  - Manni the Reveller: As you wish, outerlander; I will drink first, then you will drink.
  - Manni the Reveller takes a big drink of his tankard first.
  - The Fremennik drinks his tankard first. He staggers a little bit.
  - The player then takes a big drink from his tankard.
  - You drink from your keg. You feel extremely drunk...
  - Player: Ish no' fair! (hic) I canna drink another drop! Alsho feel veddy, veddy ill...

  - (End of dialogue)
- No
  - Player: I'm not quite ready yet...
  - Manni the Reveller: Want to line your stomach with some food or something, huh outerlander? Come back to me when you're ready to drink.
  - (End of dialogue)

Talking to Manni after the player's loss

If the player does not have a keg of beer:
- Player: What do I have to do to earn your vote again?
- Manni the Reveller: Beat me in a drinking contest! Grab a keg of beer from that table near the bar, and come back here with it.
- Player: Oh yeah. Okay, I will do.
- (End of dialogue)
If the player has a regular keg of beer:
- Manni the Reveller: Ah, I see you have your keg of beer. Are we ready to drink against each other?

Talking to the Council workman

Player: Hello.
Council workman: How do. You planning on crossing this here bridge and heading up to Rellekka then?
Select an option
Yes
- Player: Yes, actually I was.
- Council workman: Aye, 'tis a good thing we fixed this 'ere bridge, I reckon. You best be careful up there. Them Fremenniks are odd 'uns.
- Player: So you fixed this bridge yourself?
- Council workman: Aye, that I did. 'Twas real thirsty work too. If only some kind stranger would buy us a bit of beer to sup, eh?
- Council workman: What with that inn at seers so close by and all, eh?
- The workman winks at you.
- Council workman: Just make sure yer don't get me none of that non alcoholic rubbish from that poison salesman guy at the tavern!
- (End of dialogue)
No
- Council workman: Aye, that's what I told t'gaffer. Nobody wants to go up and hang out with a buncha dumb barbarians when there's a perfectly good inn to sup in, in t'seers village.
- Council workman: Ain't much better in life than having a nice cold beer to sup on a hot day like this, eh? Better'n fixing bridges, eh?
- The workman winks at you.
- Council workman: Just make sure yer don't get me none of that non alcoholic rubbish from that poison salesman guy at the tavern!
- (End of dialogue)

Using a normal beer or beer tankard on the Council workman

Council workman: Ta very much, like. That'll hit the spot nicely. Here, you can have this. I picked it up as a souvenir on me last hols.
(Player receives a Strange object.)
Player: What is it?
Council workman: I dunno rightly, but if you use a tinderbox on it, it don't half make a loud noise!

Talking to the Poison Salesman

Select an option
(Non-quest dialogue) Talk about the Murder Mystery Quest
Talk about the Fremennik Trials
- Player: Hello.
- Poison Salesman: Howdy! You seem like someone with discerning taste! Howsabout you try my brand new range of alcohol?
- Player: Didn't you used to sell poison?
- Poison Salesman: That I did, indeed! Peter Potter's Patented Multipurpose poison! A miracle of modern apothecarys^[sic]! My exclusive concoction has been tested on...
- Player: Uh, yeah, I've already heard the sales pitch.
- Poison Salesman: Sorry stranger, old habits die hard I guess.
- Player: So you don't sell poison any more?
- Poison Salesman: Well, I would, but I ran out of stock. Business wasn't helped with that stuff that happened up at the Sinclair Mansion much either, I'll be honest.
- Poison Salesman: So, being the man of enterprise that I am I decided to branch out a little bit!
- Player: Into alcohol?
- Poison Salesman: Absolutely! The basic premise between alcohol and poison is pretty much the same, after all! The difference is that my alcohol has a unique property others do not!
- Player: And what is that?
- The salesman takes a deep breath.
- Poison Salesman: Ever been too drunk to find your own home? Ever wished that you could party away all night long, and still wake up fresh as a daisy the next morning?
- Poison Salesman: Thanks to the miracles of modern magic we have come up with just the solution you need! Peter Potter's Patented Party Potions!
- Poison Salesman: It looks just like beer! It tastes just like beer! It smells just like beer! But... it's not beer!
- Poison Salesman: Our mages have mused for many moments to bring you this miracle of modern magic! It has all the great tastes you'd expect, but contains absolutely no alcohol!
- Poison Salesman: That's right! You can drink Peter Potters Patented Party Potion as much as you want, and suffer absolutely no ill effects whatsoever!
- Poison Salesman: The clean fresh taste you know you can trust, from the people who brought you; Peter Potters Patented multipurpose poison, Peter Potters peculiar paint packs
- Poison Salesman: and Peter Potters paralysing panic pins. Available now from all good stockists! Ask your local bartender now, and experience the taste revolution of the century!
- He seems to have finished for the time being.
- Player: So... when you say 'all good stockists'...
- Poison Salesman: Yes?
- Player: How many inns actually sell this stuff?
- Poison Salesman: Well... nobody has actually bought any yet. Everyone I try and sell it to always asks me what exactly the point of beer that has absolutely no effect on you is.
- Player: So what is the point?
- Poison Salesman: Well... Um... Er... Hmmm. You, er, don't get drunk.
- Player: I see...
- Poison Salesman: Aw man... You don't want any now do you? I've really tried to push this product, but I just don't think the world is ready for beer that doesn't get you drunk.
- Poison Salesman: I'm a man ahead of my time I tell you! It's not that my products are bad, it's that they're too good for the market!
- Player: Actually, I would like some. How much do you want for it?
- Poison Salesman: Y-you would??? Um, okay! I knew I still had the old salesmans skills going on!
- Poison Salesman: I'll sell you a keg of it for only 250 gold pieces! So what do you say?
- Select an option
- Yes
  - Player: Yes please!
  - If the player does not have 250 gp:
    - Poison Salesman: Sorry pal, we do not offer credit for any purchases made of Peter Potter's patented party potion! Come back when you have the cash!
  - If the player has 250 gp:
    - If the player does not have inventory space:
      - Poison Salesman: Sorry pal, doesn't look like you have room on you to carry it.

      - (End of dialogue)

  - Player: No, not really.
  - (End of dialogue)

Talking to the Poison Salesman again

If the player did not receive the money:
- Player: I understand you have some low alcohol beer for sale...?
- Poison Salesman: That I do, and sales are rocketing upwards as word of mouth spreads of it's clean taste and cool flavour! So... you want to buy some?
- Select an option
- Yes
  - (Same as above)
- No
  - (Same as above)

Attempting to use the low alcohol keg with the regular keg of beer

Manni the Reveller: Thinking of cheating my test, outerlander? I don't think so! You drink that keg fairly, or not at all! Don't let me catch you cheating!
Player: I'm going to have to find some way to distract this guy while I cheat...
(End of dialogue)

Creating a distraction

If the player uses a tinderbox on the strange object:

- Nothing interesting happens.
- (End of dialogue)
If the player lights the strange object and puts it in the drain pipe:

- Player: That is going to make a really loud bang when it goes off! It would be a perfect distraction to help me cheat in the drinking contest!
- (End of dialogue)
If the player uses the low alcohol beer on the keg of beer whilst the lit strange object is in the pipe:
- You hear a loud bang from outside. It echoes through the drain.
- Everyone in the longhall: what was THAT?
- You empty the keg and refill it with low alcohol beer.
- (End of dialogue)

Talking to Manni after switching with the low alcohol beer

(End of dialogue)

Olaf the Bard

Olaf the Bard: Hello? Yes? You want something, outerlander?
Player: Are you a member of the council?
Olaf the Bard: Why, indeed I am, outerlander! My talents as an exemplary musician made it difficult for them not to accept me! Why do you wish to know this?
Player: Well, I ask because I am currently doing the Fremennik trials so as to join your clan. I need seven of the twelve council of elders to vote for me.
Olaf the Bard: Ahhh... and you wish to earn my vote? I will gladly accept you as a Fremennik should you be able to prove yourself to have a little musical ability!
Player: So how would I do that?
Olaf the Bard: Why, by playing in our longhall! All you need to do is impress the revellers there with a few verses of an epic of your own creation!
Olaf the Bard: So what say you outerlander? Are you up for the challenge?
Select an option
Yes
- Player: Sure! This certainly sounds pretty easy to accomplish - I'll have your vote in no time!
- Olaf the Bard: That is great news outerlander! We always need more music lovers here!
- (End of dialogue)
No
- Player: Forget it! This all sounds like way too much work for a stupid vote at a meeting! I'll find someone else instead.
- (End of dialogue)

Talking to him again

Player: So how would I go about writing this epic?
Olaf the Bard: Well, first of all you are going to need an instrument. Like all true bards you are going to have to make this yourself.
Player: How do I make an instrument?
Olaf the Bard: Well, it is a long and drawn-out process. Just east of this village there is an unusually musical tree that can be used to make very high quality instruments.
Olaf the Bard: Cut a piece from it, and then carve it into a special shape that will allow you to string it. Using a knife as you would craft any other wooden object would be best for this.
Player: Then what do I need to do?
Olaf the Bard: Next you will need to string your lyre. There is a troll to the South-east who has some golden wool. I would not recommend using anything else to string your lyre with.
Player: Anything else?
Olaf the Bard: Well, when you have crafted your lyre you will need the blessing of the Fossegrimen to tune your lyre to perfection before you even consider a public performance.
Player: Who or what is Fossegrimen?
Olaf the Bard: Fossegrimen is a lake spirit that lives just a little way South-west of this village. Make her an offering of fish, and you will then be ready for your performance.
Olaf the Bard: Make sure you give her a suitable offering however. If the offering is found to be unworthy, then you may find yourself unable to play your lyre with any skill at all!
Player: So what would be a worthy offering?
Olaf the Bard: A raw shark, manta ray, or sea turtle should be sufficient as an offering.
Player: Okay, what else do I need to do?
Olaf the Bard: When you have crafted your lyre and been blessed by Fossegrimen, then you will finally be ready to make your performance to the revellers at the longhall.
Olaf the Bard: Head past the bouncers and onto the stage, and then begin to play. If all goes well, you should find the music spring to your mind and sing your own epic on the spot.
Olaf the Bard: I will observe both you and the audience, and if you show enough talent, I will happily vote in your favour at the council of elders.
Olaf the Bard: Is that clear enough, outerlander? Would you like me to repeat anything?
Select an option
Remind me about crafting a lyre
- Player: Can you remind me about making a lyre again, please Olaf?
- Olaf the Bard: There are three parts to making the lyre; First you need to cut some special wood from the special musical tree which can be found just east of Rellekka.
- Olaf the Bard: When you have the wood, you will need to use a knife to craft it into a Lyre. When you have an unstrung lyre, you will need to string it before you can play it.
- Olaf the Bard: I would not use anything other than the golden string of Lalli, a troll who lives in a cave just to the South-east.
- Olaf the Bard: Is that clear enough, outerlander? Would you like me to repeat anything?
- (Shows previous options)
Remind me about Fossegrimen
- Player: Can you remind me about getting a blessing from Fossegrimen again?

- Olaf the Bard: if you give her a worthy offering. She will only accept raw fish, so place a raw fish on her pedestal, and she will bless you. The better the offering, the longer
- Olaf the Bard: the amount of time you will be blessed for. You will not be able to perform on stage without the blessing of the Fossegrimen.
- Olaf the Bard: Is that clear enough, outerlander? Would you like me to repeat anything?
- (Shows previous options)
Remind me about playing on stage
- Player: Can you remind me about how to perform at the longhall again please?
- Olaf the Bard: Not a problem outerlander. When you have your lyre and have been blessed, you will be able to pass the bouncer at the stage entrance of the longhall.
- Olaf the Bard: He will not let you pass unless he believes you are ready to perform on stage. Simply go past him and onto the stage and use your lyre, and you will
- Olaf the Bard: begin to play to entertain the revellers. If all has gone well, you will feel the music come to your mind, unbidden, as you sing an epic of your exploits.
- Olaf the Bard: I will watch your performance from backstage, and also study how much the crowd likes you, and if I believe you have enough talent, then I will vote for you at the council.
- Olaf the Bard: Is that clear enough, outerlander? Would you like me to repeat anything?
- (Shows previous options)
I don't need a reminder

(End of dialogue)

Sigli the Huntsman

Sigli the Huntsman: What do you want outerlander?
Player: Are you a member of the council?
Sigli the Huntsman: The Fremennik council of elders? I am pleased to say that I am. My value as a huntsman is recognised by my position there.
Player: I was wondering if I could persuade you to vouch for me as a member of your clan?
Sigli the Huntsman: You? ... well... I am not totally against the idea outerlander. If you can demonstrate some hunting skills then perhaps I may offer my vote.
Player: How can I prove my hunting skills to you? I can go kill, like, a hundred chickens for you right now!
Sigli the Huntsman: Chickens? You think that would impress me?
Player: Cows then? I can kill cows until, er, the cows come home.
Sigli the Huntsman: No. The prey I have in mind for you to prove your worth to me is something far more dangerous. Far more difficult. Far more deadly.
Player: Not... Giant Rats?!?!
Sigli the Huntsman: I suspect you are mocking me outerlander. You will need to prove your skill as a hunter to me by tracking and defeating... The Draugen.
Select an option
What's a Draugen?
- Player: What's a Draugen? Some kind of cheap barbarian rip- off of a dragon?
- Sigli the Huntsman: Hmmm. No, the words are slightly similar I suppose, but they are very different creatures.
- Sigli the Huntsman: The Draugen is an evil ghost from Fremennik mythology, that devours the souls of those brave warriors who meet their ends at sea.
- Sigli the Huntsman: It stalks the coastlines, invisible to all. It brings us bad fortunes, and curses our journeys across the seas. It is also unkillable by normal means.
- Player: ...Let me get this straight; You want me to hunt an unkillable, invincible, and invisible enemy? How am I supposed to do that?
- Sigli the Huntsman: Well outerlander, should you accept my challenge I will show you a special hunter's trick that will help you. Do you accept the challenge?
- Select an option
- Yes
  - Player: Well, I need every vote I can get in the council of elders, but this certainly sounds impossible to do...
  - Sigli the Huntsman: Not at all outerlander. The Draugen is indeed impossible to kill, but that is not the same as being impossible to fight against.
  - Sigli the Huntsman: Every time he takes a Fremennik life, he gains in power, so to keep it from becoming too powerful we hunters hunt it and steal its life force.
  - If the player does not have inventory space:
    - Sigli the Huntsman: To defeat the Draugen you will need a special item; I have one to give you but it seems as though your inventory is too full to accept it.
    - (End of dialogue)
  - If the player has inventory space:
    - Sigli the Huntsman: We do this with a special talisman. Here, take it; it will let you track the Draugen while it's invisible, and when you defeat it will absorb its essence.
    - (Player receives a Hunters' talisman.)
    - Sigli the Huntsman: I want you to track the Draugen, defeat it, and store its essence in that talisman for me. If you can do this important task for my clan, I will vote for you.
    - Sigli the Huntsman: Take care of the talisman, and see me when you have completed this task.
    - (End of dialogue)
- No
  - Player: Forget it! This all sounds like way too much work for a stupid vote at a meeting! I'll find someone else instead.
  - (End of dialogue)
Forget it.
- (Same as above)

Talking to Sigli again

Sigli the Huntsman: Hello again outerlander. Have you managed to hunt down the terrible Draugen yet?
If the player has the talisman:
- Player: Not yet...
- Sigli the Huntsman: Hmmm. Laziness is not a trait that I admire. I suggest you go and do so if you wish me to vouchsafe for you to our council of elders.
- (End of dialogue)
If the player does not have a talisman:
- Player: Not yet... I lost the talisman you gave me.

Sigmund the Merchant's small "favour"

Player: Hello there!
Sigmund The Merchant: Hello outerlander.
Player: Are you a member of the council?
Sigmund The Merchant: That I am outerlander; it is a position that brings my family and I pride.
Player: I was wondering if I can count on your vote at the council of elders?
Sigmund The Merchant: You wish to become a Fremennik? I may be persuaded to swing my vote to your favour, but you will first need to do a little task for me.
Player: How did I know it wouldn't be that simple for your vote?
Sigmund The Merchant: Calm yourself outerlander. It is but a small task really... I simply require a flower.
Player: A flower? What's the catch?
Sigmund The Merchant: The catch? Well... it is not just any flower. Someone in this town has an extremely rare flower from a far off land that they picked up on their travels.
Sigmund The Merchant: I would like you to demonstrate your merchanting skills to me, by persuading them to part with it, and then give it to me for my vote.
Player: Well... I guess that doesn't sound too hard...
Sigmund The Merchant: Excellent! You will obtain this rare flower for me then?
Select an option
Yes
- Player: Okay. I don't think this will be too difficult. Any suggestions on where to start looking for this flower?
- Sigmund The Merchant: Ah, well outerlander, if I knew where to start looking I would simply do it myself!
- Player: No help at ALL?
- Sigmund The Merchant: We are a very insular clan, so I would not expect you to have to leave this town to find whatever you need.
No
- Player: You know what? No. This all sounds like a lot of hassle to me, and frankly I just can't be bothered with it right now.
- Player: I'll go get someone else to vote for me.
- Sigmund The Merchant: As you wish outerlander. If you change your mind, come and see me again; I am very interested in getting my hands on that flower.
- (End of dialogue)
If the player attempts to give Sigmund other types of flowers:
- Nothing interesting happens.
- (End of dialogue)

Talking to Sigmund again

Player: Hello there!
Sigmund The Merchant: So... how goes it outerlander? Did you manage to obtain my flower for me yet? Or do you lack the necessary merchanting skills?
Player: I'm still working on it... Do you have any suggestion where to start looking for it?
Sigmund The Merchant: I suggest you ask around the other Fremennik in the town. A good merchant will find exactly what their customer needs somewhere.

- Sailor: Ah! Even the outerlanders have heard of my mysterious flower! I found it in a country far far away from here!
- Player: Can I buy it from you?
- Sailor: I'm afraid not, outerlander. There is a woman in this village whose heart I seek to capture, and I think giving her this strange flower might be my best bet with her.
- Player: Maybe you could let me have the flower and do something else to impress her?
- Sailor: Hmm... that is not a totally stupid idea outerlander. I know she is a lover of music, and a romantic ballad might be just the thing with which to woo her.
- Sailor: Unfortunately I don't have a musical bone in my entire body, so someone else will have to write it for me.
- Player: So if I can find someone to write you a romantic ballad, you will give me your flower?
- Sailor: That sounds like a fair deal to me, outerlander.

- Player: Great! Can you write me one then?
- Olaf the Bard: Well... normally I would be thrilled at the chance to show my skill as a poet in composing a seductively romantic ballad...
- Player: let me guess; here comes the 'but'.
- Olaf the Bard: ...but unfortunately I cannot concentrate fully upon my work recently.
- Player: Why is that then?
- Olaf the Bard: It is these old worn out shoes of mine... As a bard I am expected to wander the lands, singing of the glorious battles of our warriors.
- Olaf the Bard: If you can find me a pair of sturdy boots to replace these old worn out ones of mine, I will be happy to spend the time on composing you a romantic ballad.

- Player: They're not for me... I need them for Olaf.
- Yrsa: Oh, that foolish bard... Why didn't he just ask me to make him some? It is his stupid pride, I believe!
- Yrsa: I will tell you what I will do outerlander; I know that you must have the ear of the chieftain for him to consider you as worthy of becoming a Fremennik by trial.
- Yrsa: I will make you a pair of sturdy boots for Olaf if you will persuade him to reduce the sales tax placed upon all Fremennik shopkeepers. It does nothing but hurt my business now.

- Player: Actually, it's not for me. I need to get it as part of my trials.
- Brundt the Chieftain: Hmmm. Interesting. Your trials seem to be very different to those I took as a young lad. Well, I am not adverse in principle to giving a slight tax break to our shops.
- Brundt the Chieftain: There will of course be a shortfall in the tribe's income, that will need to be made up for elsewhere, however.
- Brundt the Chieftain: How about this. For many years Sigli has been the only one in the tribe who knows the locations of the best hunting grounds where game is easiest to catch.
- Brundt the Chieftain: If you can persuade him to let the entire tribe know these hunting grounds, then we can increase productivity within the tribe, and any shortfall caused
- Brundt the Chieftain: by lowering sales taxes will be covered. I think this is a more than fair arrangement to make, don't you?
- Player: Yeah, that sounds very fair.
- Brundt the Chieftain: Speak to Sigli then, and you may have my promise to reduce our sales taxes. And best of luck with the rest of your trials.

- Player: No, I guess not. So can I have it?
- Sigli the Huntsman: Directions to my hunting grounds could mean the end of my livelihood. The only way I would be prepared to give them up would be...
- Player: What? Power? Money? Women? Wine?
- Sigli the Huntsman: ...a new string for my hunting bow. Not just any bowstring; I need a custom bowstring, balanced for my bow precisely to keep my hunt competitive.
- Sigli the Huntsman: Only in this way would I allow the knowledge of my hunting grounds to be passed on to strangers.
- Player: So where would I get that?
- Sigli the Huntsman: I have no idea. But then again, I'm happy with my old bowstring and being the only person who knows where my hunting ground is.

- Player: It's for Sigli. It needs to be weighted precisely to suit his hunting bow.
- Skulgrimen: For Sigli eh? Well, I made his bow in the first place, so I'll be able to select the right string for you... just one small problem.
- Player: What's that?
- Skulgrimen: This string you'll be wanting... Very rare. Take a lot of time to recreate. Not sure you have the cash for it.
- Player: Then maybe you'll accept something else...?
- Skulgrimen: Heh. Good thinking outerlander. Well, it's true, there is more to life than just making money. Making weapons is good money, but it's not why I do it.
- Skulgrimen: I'll tell you what. I heard a rumour that one of the fishermen down by the docks caught some weird looking fish as they were fishing the other day.
- Skulgrimen: From what I hear this fish is unique. Nobody's ever seen its like before. This intrigues me. I'd like to have it for myself. Make a good trophy.

- Player: Perhaps I can trade you something for it?
- Swensen the Navigator: A trade? For a map of the best fishing spots in a hundred leagues? I will trade it for no less than a weather forecast from our Seer.

- Player: Is there no way you would do this for me?
- Thorvald the Warrior: There is but one way outerlander. Since I was steeled in battle, I have dreamt of earning my place at the Champions Table in the Long Hall.
- Thorvald the Warrior: It is a tradition amongst us that the bravest and strongest are honoured with a table of champions to drink and feast all that they can in our Long Hall.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Unfortunately, there are only a fixed number of places available at the table, and these places were all filled many moons ago by others.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Although my worthiness is undeniable, the only way I may take my place is if one of those already there die, or give up their place to me voluntarily.

- Thorvald the Warrior: WHAT? No, no, not at all! I am shocked you would suggest such a thing!

- Manni the Reveller: I think it sounds better than it actually is outerlander. I miss my glory days of combat on the battlefield. And to tell you the truth, the beer here isn't great, and the bards' music is lousy.
- Manni the Reveller: I would happily give up my token if it were not for the one thing that keeps me here. Our barkeep is one of the best in the world, and has worked in taverns across the land.
- Manni the Reveller: When she was younger, she experimented a lot with her drinks, and invented a cocktail so alcoholic and tasty that it has become something of a legend to all who enjoy a drink.

- Thora the Barkeep: Well, anyway, I used a fusion of various drinks from all around the world to create the greatest cocktail ever made!

- Peer the Seer: That is not true, outerlander. Although I see glimpses of the future all of the time, using my powers brings the attention of the gods to me.
- Peer the Seer: Some of the gods are spiteful and cruel, and I fear if I use my powers too much then I will meet with unpredictable accidents. This is why I needed protection.

Thorvald the Warrior

Player: Hello!
Thorvald the Warrior: Hello yourself, outerlander. What brings you to dare speak to a mighty Fremennik warrior such as myself?
Player: Erm... are you a member of the council?
Thorvald the Warrior: The Fremennik council of elders? Why, of course I am. I am recognised as one the clans mightiest warriors. What is it to you outerlander?
Player: Well... I was wondering if you could vote for me to become a Fremennik.
Thorvald the Warrior: An outerlander wishes to become a Fremennik!?!? Ha! That is priceless!
Thorvald the Warrior: Well, let us say that I am not totally against this concept. As a warrior, I appreciate the value of brave and powerful warriors to our clan,
Thorvald the Warrior: and even though you may be an outerlander, I will not hold this against you if you can prove yourself to be fierce of heart in a combat situation to me.
Player: So how can I prove that? You want to fight me? Come on then, bring it on! Right here, right now, buddy!
Thorvald the Warrior: Hahahahaha! You certainly show some spirit for an outerlander!
Thorvald the Warrior: But spirit does not always make a good warrior. It takes both skill and spirit to be so. I have a test that I give all Fremenniks on their path to be a member of the clan.
Thorvald the Warrior: My test will challenge both your combat prowess and your bravery equally. Should you pass it you will earn my vote at the council, and more importantly my respect for you as a warrior.
Thorvald the Warrior: So what say you, outerlander? Are you prepared for the battle?
Select an option
Yes
- Player: Am I prepared? I'll show you what combat's all about, you big sissy barbarian type guy!
- Thorvald the Warrior: Hahahahaha! I'm beginning to like you already, outerlander!
- Thorvald the Warrior: Then allow me to present you with my challenge; This ladder here will take you to a place of combat. I have placed a special warrior down there to challenge you.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Battle him to the death, and you will pass my challenge. If at any point you wish to leave combat, simply climb back up the ladder, to leave that place.
- Thorvald the Warrior: If you leave you will of course fail the test. You may retry my test in the future if you fail, but you must stay down there until the death if you wish for my vote at the council.
- Thorvald the Warrior: You must defeat him three times to prove that you are worthy. The fourth time that you fight him will be to the death, so do not show cowardice.
- Player: Is that all? It will be easy!
- Thorvald the Warrior: No, there is one more important rule;
- Thorvald the Warrior: You may not enter the battleground with any armour or weaponry of any kind.
- Thorvald the Warrior: If you need to place your equipment into your bank account, I recommend that you speak to the seer, who knows a spell that will do that for you.
- (End of dialogue)
No
- Player: No thanks, I'm pretty sure that I can find someone else to vote for me.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Hmm, not so brave after all, outerlander? Perhaps it is for the best. I doubt you have what it takes to pass my challenge.
- (End of dialogue)

What do I have to do again?
- Player: So what do I have to do to earn your vote at the council again?

- (End of dialogue)
Who is my opponent?
- Player: So, who is my opponent?
- Thorvald the Warrior: Ah, a wise question before entering combat. His name is Koschei the deathless. He is something of a mystery, even to us.
- Thorvald the Warrior: On one of our regular raiding parties, our longship discovered a man in the frozen waters far north-east of here. We took him aboard our ship, thinking he must be dead.
- Thorvald the Warrior: To our amazement he was perfectly healthy, even though he must have been in those deadly icy waters for many weeks.
- Thorvald the Warrior: He has no memory of who he is, or how he came to be there, except for his own name: Koschei. We named him 'The Deathless' because he is seemingly unkillable!
- Thorvald the Warrior: Any combat technique used against him, he learns instantly! He also apparently can heal himself from any wound at will! When he attacks, his weapon moves like a whirlwind!
- Thorvald the Warrior: He can hide his combat level from his opponents at will as well! He is truly a horribly fierce opponent to face! I am only glad that he has chosen to stay here with us!
- Thorvald the Warrior: The daylight makes him feel weak, so we have built him his own battleground beneath this building, where he can train his fiercesome^[sic] skills without being disturbed.
- Player: But he can't REALLY be unkillable... ...can he?
- Thorvald the Warrior: Some say he cannot die, for he has hidden his heart outside of his body to be kept forever safe in a duck egg.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Others say he has been cursed by the gods to wander this land forever, never knowing any peace in his life, but only combat.
- Thorvald the Warrior: Some claim that the sword he carries is the source of all his power, and if he should lose it, then exactly one minute later, he will turn back into his true form;
- Thorvald the Warrior: A weakened, lame, old man.
- Player: And what do you believe?
- Thorvald the Warrior: I believe you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. He is a fearfully powerful warrior, but more importantly; He is on OUR side, not against us.
- Thorvald the Warrior: He is content testing the battle skills of anyone taking their Fremennik trials of manhood, and I am content knowing that should an enemy ever invade our town,
- Thorvald the Warrior: while our warriors are out on a raiding party, Koschei will be able to hold off ANY invader long enough for us to make our return.
Can't I do something else?
- Player: I don't really like fighting that much... Isn't there something else I can do to earn your vote at the council of elders?
- Thorvald the Warrior: Yes of course outerlander! If you bring me five raw sardines then I will vote for you instead!
- Player: REALLY?!?!?
- Thorvald the Warrior: HAHAHAHAHAHA! No, of course not! You are stupid, even by outerlander standards!
- Thorvald the Warrior: If you want my vote, you must pass my trial. It is as simple as that.
- (End of dialogue)
If the player attempts to use a raw sardine on Thorvald:
- Thorvald the Warrior: I was only joking about the raw sardines outerlander.

Peer the Seer's Trial

Peer the Seer: Hello outerlander. What do you want?
Player: Hello. I'm looking for members of the council of elders to vote for me to become a Fremennik.
Peer the Seer: Are you now? Well that is interesting. Usually outerlanders do not concern themselves with our ways like that.
Peer the Seer: I am one of the members of the council of elders, and should you be able to prove to me that you have something to offer my clan^[sic]
Peer the Seer: I will vote in your favour at the next meeting.
Player: How can I prove that to you?
Peer the Seer: Well, I have but a simple test. This building behind me is my house. Inside I have constructed a puzzle.
Peer the Seer: As a Seer to the clan, I value intelligence very highly, so you may think of it as an intelligence test of sorts.
Player: An intelligence test? I thought barbarians were stupid!
Peer the Seer: That is the opinion that outerlanders usually hold of my people, it is true. But that is because people often confuse knowledge with wisdom.
Peer the Seer: My puzzle tests not what you know, but what you can work out. All members of our clan have been tested when they took their trials.
Player: So what exactly does this puzzle consist of, then?
Peer the Seer: Well, firstly you must enter my house with no items, weapons or armour. Then it is a simple matter of entering through one door and leaving by the other.
Player: I can't take anything in there with me?
Peer the Seer: That is correct outerlander. Everything you need to complete the puzzle you will find inside the building. Nothing more.
Peer the Seer: So what say you outerlander? You think you have the wit to earn yourself my vote?

Yes

- Player: And what is that?
- Peer the Seer: I can store all the weapons, armour and items that you have upon you directly into your bank account.
