The heroes of yesterday[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Welcome, Yt'Haar.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: It is good that you have returned. We require your assistance.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Our race is dying. No egg has hatched as TzHaar since you and Ga'al-Xox journeyed to the Kiln. Only Ga'al.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: TzHaar live a long time, but all die and become TokKul. Now each TzHaar's egg is born as Ga'al, without TzHaar memories, without TzHaar strength.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: We must take action. We must send more Ga'al to the Kiln. As you cleared the way, it should be safe for them now.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: We want you to lead the expedition into the Elder Kiln, and resurrect greatest TzHaar champions. Will you aid us?
- Player: Not right now.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Why do you hesitate, Yt'Haar? It is a good thing that you have done. Now, Ga'al can live with TzHaar, and serve a useful purpose.
If the player accepted the quest
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Excellent. First, we must choose which of our fallen legends shall live on within the body of a Ga'al.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: TzHaar-Mej-Gek is the obvious choice. He was the greatest of our caste, and much knowledge of our ancient magic was lost in his passing.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: I also nominate TzHaar-Ket-Teg, and the great hunter, TzHaar-Xil-Kal.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Agreed. Their endurance in the Fight Pit was legendary, and since their return to stone, neither caste has equaled their technique.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh gives you a strange pulsing orb of obsidian.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Yt'Haar, this communication orb will help you locate the TokKul of our great champions. Recover their TokKul by any means necessary, and bring it to us.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: During your search of the city, round up three Ga'al and send them to this plaza. They shall have the honour of bearing the memories of our lost champions.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Finally, the Ga'al shall have value and purpose.
If the player destroys the orb
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh gives you a strange pulsing orb of obsidian.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Yt'Haar, this communication orb will help you locate the TokKul of TzHaar's great champions. Recover their TokKul whatever the cost, and bring it to us.
Continues to dialogue selection
If the player talks to any of the two again.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: We still require the TokKul of three TzHaar champions.
- Option 1: Why is it necessary to convert the Ga'al?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Do you not recall your journey to the Elder Kiln with Ga'al-Xox? Do you not remember how we found a use for the Ga'al?
- Option 1: Remind me.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Very well. TzHaar reproduce by laying eggs. We pass on our memories to our child through the egg.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Our volcano city is becoming too cold to grow healthy eggs. They die before hatching, or are born as Ga'al - empty creatures with no memories.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Ga'al are weak, and cannot do their duty - we send them to the Fight Pits for an honourable death.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You helped me find a way to give Ga'al memories. It is old magic - dangerous. The power of the Elder Kiln, the font of creation, where the TokHaar dwell.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You returned with Ga'al-Xox. The TokHaar had changed him, merged him the TokKul of TzHaar-Ket-Yit'tal, a mighty Fight Pit champion.
- Continues as option 2 below
- Option 2: I remember.
- Continues as option 3 below
- Option 3: I want to know what you hope to achieve.

- Option 2: About this ring...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You want to know more about TokKul-Zo?
- Option 1: What does it do?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This ring has a piece of TokKul in it. When worn, it will guide your hand and make you better when fighting TzHaar, fire creatures and maybe even TokHaar.
- Player: How does it do that?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: My magic taps into the memories in the ring, so you better[sic] at fighting like a TzHaar.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh:The magic will fade after time. When this happens, return to me and I will recharge it for you...for a price.
- Player: What's your price?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: 50,000 TokKul for a full recharge. Normally I would do it for free, but we need all the TokKul we can get, as we will soon be sending more Ga'al to the Kiln.
- Option 1: I feel bad about using TokKul as currency now.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Why do you feel bad?
- Player: Well, now that I know the TzHaar trapped in TokKul are in pain, it doesn't feel right.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Spending the TokKul in shops means we have more TokKul to send to the Elder Kiln. TokKul has always been currency; this will not change.
- Option 2: Okay.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 2: Can you recharge it?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This ring is already fully charged. Don't waste your TokKul on it.
- Option 3: Let's talk about something else.

- Option 3: Leave.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 4: I'd like to talk about something else.
- Option 1: Who are you?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: I am TzHaar-Mej-Ak - we met at Birthing Pool. I am one of the elders of the TzHaar City.
- Player: So, you're like a leader?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: No, no. TzHaar have no leader. All TzHaar equal[sic], all TzHaar have their role. No need for leaders.
- Player: So, what's your role?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: I guide the TzHaar when there's change. TzHaar do not like change. If it were up to us, we would not allow it.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: But, sometimes, the world changes, and we must think how TzHaar must react.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 2: What's TokKul?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: We use TokKul like you use gold. Only TokKul is the remainds of dead TzHaar.
- Option 1: You use rocks as currency?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Not rock! Dead TzHaar! Trapped in each TokKul is dead TzHaar's memory. That's what make[sic] it sacred to us.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 2: I see.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 3: What's there to do here?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: If you[sic] in the mood to kill, you could go[sic] Fight Pit or Fight Cave. They both to the south-west[sic]. If you interested in TzHaar history, go west to library[sic]. Or maybe you visit shops for top quality TzHaar goods.
- Returns to previous selection
- Option 4: I'll be going now.
- Dialogue ends
- Option 1: Who are you?
If the player selected "I want to know what you hope to achieve."
Note: Selecting any of the options causes the 2nd dialogue select to never appear again
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: When TzHaar die, our bodies compress into small smooth discs of obsidian called TokKul.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: You were able to fuse the memories in the TokKul with Ga'al-Xox, and give him purpose and power.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Now we have the means to save our race from extinction. We will take TokKul and Ga'al to the Kiln, and TzHaar will live on in the bodies of Ga'al.
- Option 1: But Ga'al-Xox returned in terrible pain!
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Ga'al-Xox is new to this world. He now bears the memories of a thousand lifetimes. He is suffering through a great trial of transformation.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: He will endure, and emerge strengthened from his ordeal. He will learn that this is necessary.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Ga'al-Xox endured a great pain in reforging, but that pain shall pass.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: We understand your reluctance, but this is the only way to restore the lost memories of fallen TzHaar.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Our eggs do not work. If we do not do this, the TzHaar will be no more.
- Same options as before, with "I've heard enough..."
- Option 5: I've heard enough...
- Returns to the original selection
- Option 2: Fusing your dead into the Ga'al is cruel and barbaric.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: It is cruel to leave TzHaar trapped in TokKul. We must free them!
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: It is far from cruel to a TzHaar. Each TzHaar must do their duty.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: A TzHaar with not purpose, and no memories to carry it out, cannot have honour. A TzHaar with no honour has no reason to exist.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: To bear TzHaar memories is to become TzHaar, become strong. These Ga'al cannot survive on their own.
- Returns to the original dialogue screen.
- Option 3: Yes, this will give the Ga'al a meaningful purpose in TzHaar society.
- Option 4: I only do this to rescue your dead from suffering in TokKul.
- Option 5: We should not return to the Elder Kiln. I don't trust the TokHaar.
- Option 1: But Ga'al-Xox returned in terrible pain!
If the player has no space
- You need one free space in your inventory to accept an item from TzHaar-Mej.

Finding Mej-Gek part of the quest begins[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: The egg hatches. I hope this one will...
The egg rolls to the ground and hatches, revealing Ga'al-Jeh.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: Another Ga'al!
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: Throw it in the Fight Pit with the others.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: I bombarded TzHaar-Xil-Ryl's egg with fire spells to battle the chill wind... I stood vigil. I nurtured his egg.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: Now all the memories that he carried through the centuries will die with him.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar-Mej-Het's joints are freezing. TzHaar City not usually so cold.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: A JalYt. Your kind do not often stray near our birthing pools. Most fight in pit, cave, or kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: If you are here to steal our eggs, turn back or perish.
- Option 1: Cold? You're standing next to a pool of lava!
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar City grows colder every day. Lava cools. More dead eggs in every batch. I heat the lava with magic. Does not help, but must try.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: JalYt distracts TzHaar-Mej-Het. Must tend to eggs... Must do my duty.
- Option 1: Wait. I seek the TokKul of TzHaar-Mej-Gek.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar-Mej-Het helped a JalYt mage - charged his staff. JalYt gave TokKul. TzHaar-Mej-Het does not know why.
- As TzHaar-Mej-Het holds out the TokKul, your orb hums and throbs.
- Option 1: That's the TokKul I'm looking for!
- Same as option 3
- Option 2: TzHaar-Mej-Jeh's orb seems to recognise the TokKul.
- Same as option 3
- Option 3: That's the TokKul of TzHaar-Mej-Gek. Give it to me.

- TzHaar-Mej-Het: Never mind. Take TokKul. TzHaar-Mej-Het must tend to eggs. Must fight cold. More dead eggs in every batch.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het gives you the TokKul of TzHaar-Mej-Gek.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Well done. You found the TokKul of TzHaar-Mej-Gek. Bring it to us in the plaza when you are ready.
- Dialogue ends

- TzHaar-Mej-Het: Why do you bother TzHaar-Mej-Het? Must tend to eggs. Must fight the cold.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar City grows colder every day. I heat the eggs with magic, but lava pool too cold.
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar-Mej-Het does duty, but it is not enough. Eggs born dead, or hatch Ga'al.
If the player destroyed the TokKul and have no space
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: TzHaar-Mej-Het found TokKul. Did you drop it, JalYt?
- TzHaar-Mej-Het: You have no room for TokKul of TozHaar-Mej-Gek, JalYt. You need to make room.

The chase[]
- TokHaar-Hok: So, our wayward breathren have finally returned.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: You are... TokHaar-Hok? Ga'al-Xox spoke of you. You speak for the TokHaar?
- TokHaar-Hok: Yes. We have adopted a form convenient for communicating with non-TokHaar.
- TokHaar-Hok: Are you ready to join us in the sacred lava, as our masters intended?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Join you? No. We wish you to fuse the TokKul of our greatest champions with these Ga'al, as you did to Ga'al-Xox.
- TokHaar-Hok: Ah, yes. How is my little Ga'al?
- TokHaar-Hok: He lingers sometimes on the periphery between our Kiln and your wretched city. He seems to...regret his transformation.
- TokHaar-Hok: It will not work, TzHaar. These Ga'al... are too weak. Your greatest champions shall return to the sacred lava and become TokHaar. But you may proceed, if you wish.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: I fear losing the TokKul of our fallen champions. What do you think we should do, Yt'Haar?
- Option 1: We have to take the risk. Reforge the Ga'al in the Kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Agreed. Should these Ga'al perish, there are many more available. Ga'al will liely consider it a merciful alternative to death in the Fight Pit.
- Option 2: Ga'al-Xox survived. Hopefully these Ga'al will too. Proceed.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Yes, transformation of Ga'al-Xox was successful. These creatures shall folow his wake.
- Option 3: This is wrong. The TzHaar would sacrifice the Ga'al for your own needs.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Ga'al are aberrations – no place in TzHaar City. The Elder Kiln shall bestow value upon Ga'al by bearing the memories of their ancestors.
- Option 4: I don't trust TokHaar-Hok. We should return to the city.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: And what then, JalYt? Shall TzHaar wait until last of us has perished - until none remain but the Ga'al? An alliance with the TokHaar is crucial to bestowing worth upon these weak, low creatures.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Ga'al-Xox! What have you done? You have slain TzHaar-Mej-Ak on sacred ground!
- Ga'al-Xox: 'Sacred'? How dare you hide behind sanctimony... you who torture the innocent for your own selfish aims.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: We do this to save the TzHaar from extinction, Ga'al-Xox. The TokKul of our ancestors shall-
- Ga'al-Xox: No. No Ga'al shall endure the suffering you forced upon me, as long as I am alive to protect them.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Pursue him, Yt'Haar. Use the communication orb to track down Ga'al-Xox. You must recover our champions' TokKul.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Hurry, Yt'Haar. Pursue Ga'al-Xox, before he escapes with precious TokKul!
- Option 1: About this ring...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You want to know more about TokKul-Zo? At a time like this?
- Same options as asking last time about ring
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You want to know more about TokKul-Zo? At a time like this?
- Option 2: I'd like to talk about titles.
- Option 3: Goodbye.
Room 1[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: I sense the TokKul is directly ahead of you. Proceed north.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Hurry. The trail is fading. Ga'al-Xox is fleeing at speed.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The defensive wards have activated! Defeat these monsters. The gate mechanism will not function until the summoning sigils have deactivated.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The gate appears to be sealed by a scale lock, similar to the one you encountered during your journey to the Elder Kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: That gate required a tithe of TokJul. Perhaps this gate will yield to a different object...
- The weight mechanism requries a particular object to activate the scale.
- You place the knife/mace/sword on the scale. The scale does not respond.
- Nothing interesting happens.
- The scale falls into place and you hear a clicking noise.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The architecture of this tunnel strongly resembles that of the caves leading to the Elder Kiln.
Room 2[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Ga'al-Xox no doubt sealed the gate to slow your progress. Do not let him get away!
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Do you see that shelf of reading orbs near the gate? They may yield valuable information.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Hurry, Yt'Haar. Pursue Ga'al-Xox, before he escapes with precious TokKul!
- Smooth obsidian spheres are arranged on the shelf. Symbols of the TzHaar language are carved into their surfaces.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The script on these reading orbs is ancient. The elements have worn away much of the original text.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You have an account of one of the first TzHaar to depart the Elder Kiln!
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: According to the text, this tunnel is part of the original network they carved while seeking out a new home.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The tunnel connects TzHaar City to something called the TzKot-Zo... a ring of living fire.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Odd. I have no memory of this tunnel, or the TzKot-Zo.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The gate mechanism requires that the statues are aligned in a particular orientation. Which caste is most effective against another?
- With a loud groad, the ancient doors swing open.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Well done. The gate is open. Pursue Ga'al-Xox before he escapes with the TokKul!
- You have already triggered the gate's opening mechanism.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Well done. The gate is open. Do not tarry. Pursue Ga'al-Xox before he escapes with the TokKul!
Room 3[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Blast! Ga'al-Xox eluded us. Search the chamber for a way to open that gate.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: One of these reading orbs contains the record of a TzHaar-Hur architect.There is more information about the TzKot-Zo.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: He describes the TzKot-Zo as a circular conduit of lava. Both ends connect to the Elder Kiln, and sacred lava flows through the conduit in a clockwise direction.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The TzHaar did not create this lava conduit – nor did the TokHaar. It is part of the ancient Kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The function of the lava conduit is to cycle the flow of sacred lava through the Elder Kiln, maintaining its temperature, purity, and fluidity.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The crucible of lava in this room is a node of the conduit.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: These crucibles collect boiling lava until it overflows into a drainage canal.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The conduit then carries the sacred lava into the next node in the circulatory system, until the treated lava is returned to the Elder Kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: According to the schematics, sacred lava should be pouring from the statue head into the crucible.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Perhaps we will find the cause of the blockage at the mouth of the conduit.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The architecture of this chamber is unlike any I have seen outside the ancient Kiln!
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This is... sacred lava, from the Kiln! The TokHaar awaken. Defend yourself!
- The barrier is tightly sealed. You are trapped in the arena.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The TokHaar arose from the residual sacred lava. They require the lava to construct a material form. Defeat them, and you will deplete the supply in the crucible.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: You fought well, Yt'Haar. Recover the champion's maul. It may be useful in your journey.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The scale near the gate no doubt requires an object, like the other mechanisms.
- The weight mechanism requries a particular object to activate the scale.
- Nothing interesting happens.
- The scale falls into place and you hear a clicking noise.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Do not tarry here. Pursue Ga'al-Xox!
Room 4[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: More blasted tunnels. They must go on for miles.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The statues are a new addition. They must yield a valuable clue...
- The weight mechanism requries a particular object to activate the scale.
- Nothing interesting happens.
- The scale falls into place and you hear a clicking noise.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Hurry. Venture deeper into the tunnel, and apprehend Ga'al-Xox.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Hurry. Venture deeper into the tunnel, and apprehend Ga'al-Xox.
Room 5[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Do you see that shelf of reading orbs near the gate? They may yield valuable information.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Strange! These orbs are a collection of funeral rites.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: They are comforting words to be spoken over TokKul cast into the sacred lava, to ease the passing of TzHaar who have returned to stone.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This makes no sense. If our ancestors melted down their dead in this way, how is it that we have inherited no memories of this ritual?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Proceed with haste. Ga'al-Xox is getting away!
- Touch the pedestals in the order they light up.
- Correct! (#/8)
- Incorrect! Start again.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
Room 6[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This must be another node in the lava conduit. At this rate, we will soon reach the source...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Do you see that shelf of reading orbs near the gate? They may yield valuable information.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This document explains why we have encountered such strong defences en route to the mouth of the lava conduit.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The ancient TzHaar vigilantly protected the conduit from outsiders, employing magical traps and wards.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: They were greatly concerned that the TokHaar might sabotage the source of the city's heat.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: They established my city in the cradle of the lava conduit, where they could remain outside of the ancient Elder Kiln, but still depend upon its heat to incubate TzHaar eggs.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: In the first centuries of establishing the city, there are frequent accounts of security patrols, and the tunnels were well maintained.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: The logs decrease in frequency over the passing years, until they cease altogether.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: How have the TzHaar forgotten such an important part of our history?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This must be another node in the lava conduit. At this rate, we will soon reach the source...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: This crucible contains more sacred lava than the last chamber. Prepare to endure a longer battle!
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Well done. You vanquish the TokHaar that lingered here. Continune on your journey!
- The weight mechanism requries a particular object to activate the scale.
- Nothing interesting happens.
- The scale falls into place and you hear a clicking noise.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: My divination spell fades as you proceed deeper into the tunnel. I fear we shall maintain contact for much longer.
Room 7[]
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: My divination spell fades as you proceed deeper into the tunnel. I fear we shall maintain contact for much longer. I sense that Ga'al-Xox is close. Apprehend him, ad recover the precious TokKul. He must be made to answer for his crimes...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: I cannot...divine your...location...too far...magic...weakening...
- The word 'Ket' is incribed around the outer rim of the scale.
- The word 'Mej' is incribed around the outer rim of the scale.
- The word 'Xil' and 'Hur' is incribed around the outer rim of the scale.
- The word 'Ket' and 'Hur' is incribed around the outer rim of the scale.
- You place the <item> on the scale. The scale does not respond.
- Nothing interesting happens.
- The scale falls into place and you hear a clicking noise.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
Room 8[]
- The communication orb does not respond. You are too far from the center of the TzHaar City to contact TzHaar-Mej-Jeh.
- With a loud groan, the ancient doors swing open.
Room 9[]
- The communication orb's magical energy has dimmed. You are too far from the center of the TzHaar City to contact TzHaar-Mej-Jeh for a translation.
- The valve wheel does not budge.
- Option 1: Hand over the TokKul, Ga'al-Xox.
- Ga'al-Xox: Wait! Let me explain...
- Same as option 2
- Option 2: Ga'al-Xox! What are you doing?
- Ga'al-Xox: This outlet is the mouth of a circulation conduit intended to channel the sacred lava from the Kiln around the TzHaar City.
- Ga'al-Xox: The TokHaar shut off the conduit, and are responsible for the cooling of the volcano.
- Ga'al-Xox: Without the heat from the Kiln, TzHaar eggs cannot be incubated, and are born as Ga'al.
- Ga'al-Xox: If we can get the lava flowing again, the city will be hot enough for TzHaar eggs to be born healthy.
- Ga'al-Xox: Please, help me activate the mechanism.
- Option 3: You would not believe what I had to go through to find you...
- Ga'al-Xox: Wait! Let me explain...
- Same as option 2
- Ga'al-Xox: Please, help me activate the mechanism. I can't turn both of these valves without your help.
- Option 1: Why did you run from me?
- Ga'al-Xox: I was... afraid. TzHaar do not attack TzHaar. I knew I would be destroyed for my crimes, and then none would remain to protect the Ga'al.
- Ga'al-Xox: So, I fled to the one place, other than the Kiln, where I might be able to access the sacred lava.
- Ga'al-Xox: Here, I can melt down this TokKul, and release the trapped TzHaar from their torment.
- Back to selection
- Option 2: How did you know of this place?
- Ga'al-Xox: TokHaar-Hok confided in me... he told me of the lava conduit, and how the TokHaar installed these valves to prevent the lava from flowing. He hoped to secure my aid.
- Player: What did TokHaar-Hok want you to do?
- Ga'al-Xox: Nothing. He simply wanted to ensure I did not prevent the TzHaar from entering the Kiln.
- Ga'al-Xox:He told me to be patient, and await the end of the TzHaar. Then the Ga'al would be free to live their own lives.
- Ga'al-Xox:Ga'al are not TokHaar. We cannot afford the patience of immortality. Our immediate lives are threatened by the TzHaar. I had to defend my people.
- Back to selection
- Option 3: How do you feel about having killed TzHaar-Mej-Ak?
- Ga'al-Xox: I regret my actions. Passion took hold of me, and I could not control my rage.
- Ga'al-Xox: TzHaar-Mej-Ak spoke of the Ga'al with such disregard... he was determined to force the suffering of TokKul upon them.
- Ga'al-Xox: I cannot bear the memory of the agony... to inflict such torture upon a voiceless innocent is abhorrent.
- Ga'al-Xox: So, I stopped him... the only way I could.
- Ga'al-Xox mournfully gazes at the TokKul of TzHaar-Mej-Ak.
- Ga'al-Xox: Now, he knows the crushing agony of being trapped in TokKul...
- Ga'al-Xox: Please, help me release him from his suffering.
- Back to selection
- 'Option 4: Why are you so opposed to the TzHaar?
- Ga'al-Xox: I am not entirely opposed to the TzHaar... I only wish that they could see the Ga'al as more than aberrations, or disposable tools.
- Ga'al-Xox: I have to protect the Ga'al, until they are capable of protecting themselves.
- Back to selection
- Option 5: Farewell.
- The valve wheel does not budge.
- Ga'al-Xox: Perhaps if we turned both valves at the same time?
- Player: On the count of three...
- Player: One...
- Player: Two...
- TokHaar-Hok: My little Ga'al. You disappoint us.
- TokHaar-Hok: You should not have drawn attention to the lava conduit. We sealed this chamber for good reason.
- TokHaar-Hok: If it is a fight you want, then a fight you shall have. We have longed for an opportunity to test this great human's mettle.
- TokHaar-Hok: Let battle commence.
- You will not need the communication orb in this encounter. We recommend you bank or destroy it to be better prepare for battle.
- Ga'al-Xox: What have I done? When we re-activated the lava flow, we released TokHaar-Hok from the Elder Kiln!
- Same options as before
- Ga'al-Xox: You did it! You defeated TokHaar-Hok.
- Same options as before
- TokHaar-Hok: You have... bested us, human. You are truly a worthy adversary.
- TokHaar-Hok: We shall withdraw to the Elder Kiln...
- Ga'al-Xox: You did it! You defeated TokHaar-Hok. The sacred lava is once again flowing from the Kiln. Soon, the city will be bathed in scorching heat.
- Ga'al-Xox: The TokKul... we must dissolve the TokKul in the sacred lava. It's the only way to release the suffering dead from their torment.
- Option 1: The TzHaar will never allow it.
- Same as option 3
- Option 2: It will take more than words to convince the TzHaar-Mej.
- Same as option 3
- Option 3: Melt down the TokKul? Are you insane?
- Ga'al-Xox: The only way the TzHaar can understanding the suffering of the TokKul is to experience it for themselves.
- Ga'al-Xox: I know what must be done. Contact TzHaar-Mej-Jeh, and convince him to meet us in the Elder Kiln.
- Ga'al-Xox: Hurry, convince TzHaar-Mej-Jeh to meet us in the Elder Kiln.
- Same options as the first time
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Yt'Haar! Nurturing heat is pouring into the TzHaar City. TzHaar-Mej at birthing pool report that eggs are growing into healthy TzHaar. Is this your doing?
- You inform TzHaar-Mej-Jeh about your glorious triumph over the TokHaar, and how they are responsible for cooling the city and bringing about the creation of Ga'al.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: TzHaar owe you great debt. What of Ga'al-Xox? Is he ready to answer for his crimes?
- Player: Ga'al Xox asked me to bring you to the Elder Kiln. He wishes to make amends.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Very well. I shall meet you in the Elder Kiln. I have many questions for TokHaar-Hok.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: I shall meet you in the Elder Kiln, Yt'Haar.
In the Elder Kiln[]
- TokHaar-Hok: Welcome, human. You fought with great vigour and skill. It was an honour to spar with you.
- TokHaar-Hok: We learned much of your technique. We are eager to learn more.
- Ga'al-Xox: Can you believe this? After all that we have endured, TzHaar-Mej-Jeh still wishes to reforge the Ga'al as hosts for their dead TzHaar.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Of course. The Ga'al are now a precious, finite resource. We promise to no longer sentence the Ga'al to death in the Fight Pit. They are too valuable as living vessels for our lost ancestors.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: When the last Ga'al has been put to profitable use, the TzHaar can put this worrisome time of change behind us.
- Ga'al-Xox: Why must the TzHaar be so stubborn? You will not listen to me. You will not listen to TzHaar-Ket-Yit'tal, whose memories of the crushing torment of TokKul live inside me.
- Ga'al-Xox: Will you listen to TzHaar-Mej-Ak? Will you listen to one of your own caste, the TzHaar that died by my hand?
- TokHaar-Hok: I shall forge this Ga'al a second time, on one condition...
- TokHaar-Hok: My minions shall evermore engage in glorious battle with this human, this surface dweller who vanquished us in combat.
- TokHaar-Hok: We shall learn this technique, hone our skills, and probe his defences for weakness.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: JalYt, do you agree to these terms?
- Option 1: I can't wait to battle the TokHaar.
- Same as option 3
- Option 2: As long as it's not a waste of my time.
- Same as option 3
- Option 3:I will consider it.
- TokHaar-Hok: Execellent. There is much tthe TokHaar can learn from you, human.
- TokHaar-Hok: Now, TzHaar, witness the fate that awaits those that live outside the Elder Kiln.
- TokHaar-Hok: Are you ready to proceed, human? Do you agree to return to the arena where we fought, and do battle among our kind, from time to time?
- Option 1: I can't wait to battle the TokHaar.
- Same as above
- Option 2: As long as it's not a waste of my time.
- Same as above
- Option 3:I will consider it.
- Ga'al-Xox: I share your reluctance. The memory of TzHaar-Ket-Yit'tal's ordeal in TokKul is already more than I can bear. To experience TzHaar-Mej-Ak's suffering may utterly destroy me.
- Dialogue ends
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Release! I am... free...
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: No... how can this be? I am in the body of a... Ga'al!
- TokHaar-Hok: This Ga'al is far stronger than we had anticipated. To endure the forging not once, but twice...if only the aberrant TzHaar shared such strength of will.
- Player: Ga'al-Xox? Are you still... What happened?
- Ga'al-Xox: I'm here. Barely. The pain... TzHaar-Mej-Ak has... suffered so...
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Please... Release me from this torment. Let me die. I beg you.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: TzHaar-Mej-Ak... Does the Ga'al speak the truth? Are you back from the dead? Or are you only a memory?
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: I never died! All of us... every TzHaar who has ever lived... we suffer in agony. The pressure... the pain...
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak:Release us... dissolve our remains in the sacred lava. We call out to you from our obsidian prisons, but you cannot hear our silent screams.
- Ga'al-Xox: Are you... ... finally... ... convinced?
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Yes! I shall do as you ask. We cannot use the trapped souls of our dead as currency.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Though change does not come easily to the TzHaar, for the sake of our ancestors we must forge a different path.
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Thank... You...
- TokHaar-Hok: You have proven your point, my little Ga'al. You have suffered a long time for your ideals.
- TokHaar-Hok: Do you wish to return to the sacred lava? We can finally... end your suffering.
- Ga'al-Xox: But what of the...
- TzHaar-Mej-Ak: Let me die... please...
- Ga'al-Xox: Hush.
- Ga'al-Xox: But what will become of the Ga'al? I long for relief, but... My work is... not yet finished.
- TokHaar-Hok: Bah! Give me one reason that the Ga'al are worth saving.
- Option 1: They can learn.
- Player: The Ga'al are capable of learning new skills. Ga'al-Xox taught himself to speak by watching and learning.
- Player: Think what more the Ga'al could learn in a nurturing environment.
- Option 2: They can invent.
- Player: The Ga'al are capable of invention and ingenuity, given sufficient education.
- Player: The TzHaar know only what is passed down from their ancestors. They have forgotten how to discover new ideas for themselves.
- Option 3: They can fight.
- Player: Ga'al-Xox has fought by my side. He has battled you, and your kind.
- Player: He has TzHaar-Ket-Yit'tal's memories, yes, but he has also learned from me, and from watching other TzHaar and surfacers fight. He has developed his own fighting style, and any Ga'al has the same potential.
- Option 4: They can travel.
- Player: The Ga'al can flourish in cold environments, such as the surface world. They have the potential to leave TzHaar City, and open up diplomatic relations and trade routes. They could be your ambassadors.
- Regardless of choice
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: I solemnly vow to you - to both of you - that the TzHaar shall take responsibility for nurturing and training the Ga'al.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: We shall teach them the TzHaar language. We shall teach them our ways; of combat; of honour. The Ga'al will forge their own destinies.
- Ga'al-Xox: Thank you, TzHaar-Mej-Jeh. I am ready... to die.
- Ga'al-Xox: Before I... go... I want to thank you, human.
- Ga'al-Xox: You nurtured me where others thought me worthless. You fought for my kind, and I have learned much from you.
- Ga'al-Xox: The TzHaar have much to learn from humanity... of compassion, of respect. There are other ways to vanquish an enemy than by blade, mace, or staff.
- Ga'al-Xox: Whatever awaits us in the next life, beyond the confines of stone or flesh, I hope that we shall meet again. Goodbye, my friend.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Fellow TzHaar... We have gathered this day to celebrate...
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: ...to honour deeds of this JalYt. This human, this outside has fought back against those that would threaten TzHaar society.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: (S)He has protected TzHaar with unceasing courage and boundless ingenuity.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: For long time, TzHaar have suffered terrible change. Our city has cooled, our previous eggs have died, or born different. TzHaar did not know why. TzHaar did not act until it was too late.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: JalYt took action. JalYt discovered threat at heart of our volcano home. Discovered old TzHaar, the TokHaar, that live in sacred Kiln.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: JalYt discovered plot to destroy TzHaar. JalYt discovered cause of birth of Ga'al.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: JalYt fought the TokHaar back to their Kiln. JalYt restored heat to TzHaar City. JalYt has proven (s)he is far more than mere JalYt.
- TzHaar-Mej-Jeh: Henceforth, this JalYt is not outside. He shall henceforth be known as TzHaar-<Player>. Treat him/her as you would any TzHaar. Honour this great warrior, defender of TzHaar.
- Your title has been changed to: TzHaar.
- Your title has been cleared.
Applause and fireworks.
