Griffin

I had a dream last night... The Lord of Light Okran himself came to me, and he told me that I would meet a weatlhy wanderer from the outside...

Griffin

Welcome back, wanderer.

You're back again, wanderer?

Griffin

The wealthy wanderer will lead me to the truth, will lead me to the origin of the First Extinction. With this, the land of the Holy Nation will finally find peace.

I want to hire you...

Can you tell me about the First Extinction?

Reply

It's nothing, nevermind

Reply

And you think that I'm your wanderer?

First Extinction? What is that?

Reply

Sounds like crazy talk to me

Reply

Ugh, boring! Not interested...

Griffin

It will cost you 9000 Cats. Do you have the money?

Griffin

The destruction of the ancient capitals thousands of years past. According to the doctrine of the Holy Lord Phoenix Himself, it was the Agents of - sorry, the Skeletons that caused the extinction...

Griffin

Okran will show me if you are the one. So, wanderer, I will follow you. But it will cost you 9000 Cats, do you have the coin?

Griffin

I don't need you to believe with me, I just need you to lead me. So, wanderer, are you interested in hiring me? It will cost you 9000 Cats. Question is, do you have the wealth?

Reply

I have the Cats, but do you have the skill?

Reply

That's way out of my budget...

Reply

I'd be honored to have you following me

Reply

I'll hire you. But I have no interest in your religious mission (c.9000)

Reply

Actually, I've changed my mind

Griffin

And it will happen again. How and why? I don't know, but this very belief is what tears our society apart. It instills such an overwhelming fear and suspicion into our nation, that we've begun to destoy our very own society by our own hands...

9000 Cats? What a con! Forget it...

Keep looking for your wanderer, I'm not your girl

How about a discount?

Griffin

I have the battle experience. I am an ex-holy sentinel afterall, although a little out of practise, it's been a few years now since I left on my pilgrimage. But I would not expect you to pay more than my worth, wanderer.

Griffin

Then you are not my wanderer...

Griffin

I understand. Just do whatever you've got to do, I'll follow.

Reply

And finding the truth will calm that fear...

Reply

And you think that I will lead you to your salvation?

Reply

Poor Skeletons. They get so much crap from you zealots.

Griffin

The wealthy do not need discount, wanderer.

Reply

Ex-sentinel? No deal, you guys are crazy.

Griffin

I believe so. And Okran will show me if you are the one to lead me to that truth. So, wanderer, I will follow you. But it will cost you 9000 Cats, do you have the coin?

Griffin

Perhaps the truth will bring peace for the Skeletons as well. If I have learned anything since my days as a sentinel, it is to keep an open mind...

Griffin

So, wanderer, are you interested in hiring me? It will cost you 9000 Cats. Question is, do you have the wealth?

Griffin

... Rgh, cold!

Cold! / Uh, whoa!

Griffin

Healed by a Skeleton... Now I've experienced everything.

Just... keep your hands where I can see them, will you? / I- I'm fine, skeleton, leave me... I can heal myself... / I try to be open minded. But having a skeleton poke around inside me is just too far... / Healed by a skeleton... Okran you really test me...

Griffin

Such cold... er, hands?... can't possibly hold Okran's warmth...

This... is going to take some getting used to. / Cold and light... The two just don't go together. / I- I'm fine, skeleton, leave me... Quit poking around... / I can heal myself, skeleton... / How about we keep our distance, huh, skeleton?

Griffin

... I won't let my fear get me...

Griffin

Shh. I'm working here.

Quiet, I'm working.

Reply

There's no need to fear me, Griffin. I'm on your side.

Griffin

... Yeah.

Griffin

...Holy Nation rebels? This is where they're based?... The holy lands may be in chaos, but to flee and abandon our home, our god...

Bystander

Whatever you're thinking, keep it to yourself. I don't want any drama with these guys and I doubt an ex-sentinel is going to go down well here.

Bystander

Keep your head together. Any mention of your past will likely stir the nest...

Bystander

Ex-sentinel Griffin and the Okranite rebels, head to head! This should be interesting, heh.

Griffin

Relax, I'll be on my best behaviour. Rebel hunting is not my mission and neither is my scrutiny.

Griffin

Told by a skeleton, huh, whatever next? I won't judge, this is not the mission Okran gave me anyway.

Griffin

Find your entertainment elsewhere. Rebel hunting is not my mission, and neither is my scrutiny.

Griffin

Tragic, to see people lose their path only to find such savagery.

Back to the abyss you go, bandit. / Show no mercy to murderers, because they will show you none back. / Not gonna let a bandit keep me from Okran's mission. / Retribution will leave a bad taste, but mercy is for the weak. You spare a murdering savage, innocents die. / The only mercy for the lost is that of Okran's blade. / Mercy is for the weak. / May you finally find peace with Okran.

Griffin

Show no mercy to evil, because it will show you none back.

It's over. / It's done. / Back to the abyss you go. / Okran's light is my sword. / Down! This is your fate, sealed by Okran. / True compassion is to end the suffering of the lost soul. / No mercy. / May you find peace in the afterlife. / May Okran finally show you peace. / Rest in peace.

Griffin

I'll send you to Okran's judgement, by my own sword.

Okran grant me strength. / Okran lend me your strength. / The lord is my light against the dark. / With Okran as my sword... / By the strength of Okran... / To the abyss you go! / To the abyss with you! / Back from the dead.

Griffin

I've seen far worse on the field, you'll be fine, brother.

I've done my share of patching up paladins, you'll survive. / Live. It's not your time yet. / You'll live. Okran still has use for you yet. / Okran decides when our time is up. Now is not yours.

Griffin

Okay, okay, enough... You got it already, skeleton.

Okay, okay, I'm all healed, how about some distance, huh, skeleton? / Finally... It's over... / Well, that was traumatic. / That was... terrifying.

Griffin

I'm ready for this.

Ready and waiting. / Thank you, brother. / Bless you, brother. / Good job, brother.

Reply

You're welcome.

Griffin

Looks like we're safe... Everyone okay?

We're clear... That was a close one. / It's safe now... Is everyone okay? / Still in one piece? Everyone? / Spared by Okran. I live another day. / Okran spares me another day.

Griffin

Okran... give me... strength!

I'll... destroy... this evil... even if it kills me! / Okran... give me... protection! / I.. am... Okran's... blade... / My sword... is Okran's... I won't... be defeated...

Griffin

RARRRRGH!

ARGHHH!

Griffin

Monsters from the mouth of the abyss itself...

Griffin

Careful, wolves ahead... I've seen brothers ripped apart by these beasts...

Careful, wolves ahead... / Wolves. The bane of Okran's pride... / Looks like a wolf den. Viscious beasts...

Griffin

Evil is among us.

Griffin

We mustn't let them swarm us.

Tread lightly...
