Dialog
Tran
 * "Been a long time since I've had any non-spriggan visitors here. Well, except for that nasty serpent creature who slithered her way into the bog. Sarissa. Yeesh, gave me the willies she did. Not friendly, that one. But you seem pleasant enough!"

You "Can you tell me about this place?"


 * "Well, THIS is Bevyn's Coille, and THAT is Bevyn's Bog."

You "Bevyn?"


 * "Bevyn was a creature of the North, a winged beast sent from the Marshlands who was charged with preventing all travelers from ever gaining access to the Sunkentooth Passage. He did his job all too well. Where once this crystal river flowed and this forest sprawled out as far as the eye can see, now sits only that murky cesspool just yonder there."

You "I don't understand. What happened to the river? It appears crystal clear from where I'm standing."


 * "Bevyn the Abominable placed a curse on it. The rushing waters of the river ceased to flow, and grew stagnant. If you look out, you can see the very line where the curse meets the Coille. Only foul creatures of the Marshlands can pass that line and into Sunkentooth."

You "Like Sarissa."


 * "You got it. I'll tell you a little known tidbit, though. An enchanted charm exists which can lift that curse. An old Spriggan witch concocted it, not long after Bevyn's atrocities began here. When he heard of the charm's existence, Bevyn murdered her and took it. But its magic was powerful, and Bevyn was unable to destroy the charm. So he buried it deep down in the depths of the Bog, where none can ever find it."

You "Great, Tran. That helps me not at all."


 * "Oh, but it does. You see, once every few seasons, the tide swells something fierce, and old things rise up from the bottom of the bog. Be there when that happens, and you just might find the old witch's charm which will lift the curse, and grant passage once again to Sunkentooth."

You "And how exactly am I supposed to know when the tide will swell?"


 * "You won't. But I might. I know what the signs are. So pay me a visit every now and again, and I'll tell you if I've seen the bog stirring or not."

Bolette


 * "Hee-Hee! I just can't get enough of seeing the forlorn, droopy looks on all your faces whenever one of you heroes talks to that time-wasting fool, Tran."

You "You say Tran is a fool..."


 * "Yes! And with all the bloodshed and chaos going on around here lately, I haven't had much to giggle about. So thank you, droopy hero!"
