Dialogue Coleman: "Get back, you! I'll defeat you, I will!"

You "Coleman! It's me!"

Coleman: "! You look exactly like one of the Black Thrush! Incredible!"

You "I think I'm ready to infiltrate the Black Thrush."

Coleman: "Excellent. Once in, mingle among them and acquire the needed information. But be warned! If you get too close to one of them, they may see through the disguise and attack. So, give a wide berth!"

You "Will do."

Coleman: "I'm going to break camp here and move on into the Aberdeen Caves. Once you have what you need from your mission, meet me in the Aberdeen Caves. Sound good?" You "Absolutely!"

Coleman: "Good luck, !"

Edson: "Something fishy is going on... anyway, what's the news?"

You "I killed that worthless, so-called hero named . How go things here?"

Edson: "Well done.  was causing us quite a lot of problems. Things here are... tense. Scamander won't be pleased."

You "Oh?"

Edson: "Quinlan has been in a rage. He's been having problems assembling the new parts into the bomb. He's got some research paper of a Minotaur's that explains how to do it, but the handwriting isn't too legible. It's got him fuming."

You "So the bomb still hasn't been assembled yet?"

Edson: "I don't know. Anastasia helped him some. Maybe she was able to decipher the Minotaur's handwriting. Why don't you go ask her?"

You "I will."

Edson: "Long live The Scourge! Death to all!"

Anastasia: "Hooray! Hooray! It's been a long time since I've been this excited. To see it all come crumbling down! Ardent City will be blown to smithereens!"

You "You were able to decipher the Minotaur's handwriting then?"

Anastasia: "Indeed! And Quinlan has finished assembling the bomb. He's quite pleased. He was even handing out cigars! He'll probably give you one, too. Why don't you ask him?"

You "I'll do that."

Anastasia: "May chaos reign!"

Quinlan: "Ready for things to go boom?"

You "So the bomb is assembled?"

Quinlan: "Is it ever! It's a magnificent device. Once detonated, none will survive. Not only will Ardent City be reduced to rubble, but the lethal radioactive fumes from the bomb will spread far and wide, and ensure the total annihilation of all in the realm!"

You "Awesome! Say, I've never seen a Minatomic Bomb before. Can you show it to me?"

Quinlan: "Don't be ridiculous. The moment I finished assembling the bomb, I immediately had one of our members deliver it to Scamander himself in the Aberdeen Caves. Scamander has been most impatient for it. He even threatened to behead me, if I didn't hurry up!"

You "Sounds like you've been busy. I'll take my leave now."

Quinlan: "Goodbye. May chaos reign!"

Coleman: "How did your infiltration go?"

You "[Tell him everything.]"

Coleman: "We can't let them detonate that terrible monstrosity in Ardent City! Time is not on our side, though!"

'''You lost 1x Black Thrush Disguise Kit. Gained 30.8k experience!'''

You "This is awful!"

Coleman: "We must act quickly before it is too late! I fear it comes down to you now, . Will you take on this dangerous assignment?"

You "Yes, I'll do it!"

Coleman: "Defeat Scamander and retrieve the bomb. After you've accomplished the mission, bring the bomb to me. If you accomplish the mission, that is. I fear for you , I truly do."
