Talking to them for the first time
- 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.
- Derni: Pleased to meet you, Player!
- 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
- Miodvetnir: Hello again, Player!
- Dernu: Are you lost down here?
- Derni: Or were you just stopping by for a chat?
- Player: Just stopping by for a chat.
- Player: Any good spots to fish around here? After Fishing Contest
- Miodvetnir: Fish?
- Derni: Fish?
- Dernu: What are fish?
- Miodvetnir: No fish around here.
- 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.
- Miodvetnir: But Player could tell you all about it! After all, he's the Fishing Champion!
- Player: Maybe later...
- 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 terrirtory of one of the eight major companies of the mining Consortium.
- 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.'
- Player: I defeated the spirit of the rock! After Between a Rock...
- Miodvetnir: That's amazing!
- 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 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: Anything else you wanted, Player?
- Player: Never mind.
- Player: I have rebuilt the statue for the [company name]! After The Giant Dwarf
- Dernu: What, really?
- Derni: Of course, really! Player wouldn't have said it otherwise, would he?
- Miodvetnir: And didn't you see Blasidar working on the statue?
- Dernu: Oh yes, he was out there for quite a while.
- Derni: That must have been a huge task.
- Dernu: Nothing's too difficult for old Blasidar.
- Miodvetnir: He truly is a master builder.
- Derni: We can all take an example to his hard work and dedication.
- Dernu: Speaking of, shouldn't we get back to work ourselves?
- Miodvetnir: Quite right. Anything else you wanted, Player?
- Player: Never mind.
- Player: I have this unforgettable tale to tell you! After Forgettable Tale...
- Miodvetnir: A tale!
- Dernu: We love tales!
- Derni: We live for tales!
- Dernu: Like, there was this one time when I lost my spanner in the mines...
- Derni: Player wants to tell a tale!
- Dernu: But my spanner... it's a very interesting tale you know.
- Miodvetnir: I think we've heard it before.
- Derni: It was pretty forgettable.
- Player: Excuse me, do you want to hear my tale or not?
- Miodvetnir: Happy to.
- Derni: Would love to hear it.
- Dernu: As long as it's better than my spanner story.
- Miodvetnir: So, what's your tale like?
- Player: Ah, I errrr...
- Player: I seem to have forgotten.
- Derni: Must have been pretty forgettable as well then.
- Player: Never mind.
- Player: I have another tale to tell you! After Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf
- Miodvetnir: A tale!
- Dernu: We love tales!
- Derni: We live for tales!
- Dernu: Like, there was this one time when I had to fight a dragon...
- Miodvetnir: Tell us your tale, Player!
- Derni: What, you fought a what?
- Dernu: A dragon! It was pink! A pink dragon!
- Derni: There's no such thing as pink dragons, you idiot!
- Miodvetnir: Maybe it was a cross between a red dragon and a steel dragon...
- Dernu: I don't know, I just know it was pink!
- Miodvetnir: Or maybe it was an albino red dragon, or one that had been out of the sun for too long.
- Derni: Well, I still don't believe you. I think you're making it up.
- Miodvetnir: At least you had something to say. Player hasn't even told us a tale yet.
- Player: If you let me...
- Dernu: Never mind, Player. Is there anything else you want to talk about?
- Player: What do you think of King Veldaban? After King of the Dwarves
- Miodvetnir: The king!
- Dernu: The king of Keldagrim!
- Derni: Long live the king!
- Dernu: Wait, Veldaban is king? When did that happen?
- Derni: Keldagrim doesn't have a king! Silly hummon! It has a Consortium!
- Miodvetnir: A Conglomerate!
- Derni: A Corporation!
- Dernu: A Cartel!
- Player: No, Veldaban is king now. It happened when...
- Derni: If someone became king, I think we would have been told about it!
- Miodvetnir: We hear everything that goes on!
- Derni: We have our finger on the pulse of Keldagrim!
- Dernu: Actually, didn't a messenger come around here and say something...
- Derni: I think so, but I don't remember what she said.
- Miodvetnir: I don't think she delivered her message properly!
- Player: Maybe if you'd let her finish, then...
- Derni: No, it can't have been important, or she'd have made sure to finish her message.
- Miodvetnir: You're right! No one would forget to tell us!
- Dernu: That's right! We're the most popular brothers in Keldagrim!
- Derni: It must be because we're such good listeners!
- Dernu: So there's no king. I'm glad we could clear up your confusion, human!
- Miodvetnir: Is there anything else we can help you with?
- Player: I have one final tale to tell you! After Birthright of the Dwarves
- Miodvetnir: Oh, we already know that tale!
- Dernu: The tale of the Birthright of the Dwarves!
- Derni: The final downfall of the Red Axe!
- Dernu: It was such a pity that Veldaban died.
- Miodvetnir: He didn't die, you idiot! Player saved him!
- Player: Actually...
- Dernu: Anyway, I'm glad the Consortium is in power again now.
- Derni: The Consortium is in power? I thought someone else became king. King...what's his name?
- Miodvetnir: You're both wrong! Veldaban is still king!
- Player: If you let me get a word in edgeways I could tell you...
- Derni: Anyway, I'm glad you let Luitger go, I knew he couldn't be a Red Axe spy.
- Player: Luitger wasn't even a suspect! It was Klaas, and I...
- Miodvetnir: It's no good, human. We'll have to sort out this disagreement before you can tell us your story.
- Player: I must be off now, thanks for the chat.
- Miodvetnir: No problem!
- Dernu: Glad to be of service!
- Derni: Come back any time!
- Player: I want to tell you a tale again! Only after telling all tales
- options to tell above tales
- Player: Any good spots to fish around here? After Fishing Contest
