@0    = ~Wait! Are you <CHARNAME>? You surely have changed many Athkatlan corners, Tangled Oak included.~
@1    = ~Who are you?~
@2    = ~That's what I do.~
@3    = ~I'm Nikt and I am the former member of the Book Club you also belonged to.~
@4    = ~I thought it was just Hron and Miga and me.~
@5    = ~It's... nice to meet you. Sorry, you just... reminded me how I failed when it came to saving them.~
@6    = ~I was there before you and when you joined...~
@7    = ~No one is blaming you. Hron should... just remember that when something is locked, he shouldn't take it without asking - as he did with those stories he borrowed...~
@8    = ~...I am the one from whom Hron would take the books. He helped at my book shop and I allowed him to use them. But those scrolls he took, those that caused the tragedy... Eh, Hron, why haven't you asked about them... they were locked in a chest. But he didn't read the sign.~
@9    = ~One little oversight... and it caused all that pain...~
@10   = ~These are consequences of having access to such magic. And not teaching how to protect ourselves from its cursed influence.~
@11   = ~Anyway, I need the scrolls back.~
@12   = ~They burned while taking us to some weird plane.~
@13   = ~They got lost, I'm afraid. When I went back to this place they were already gone. Both the one Hron gave me and the copy the others used.~
@14   = ~I see.~
@15   = ~I want to investigate this. Would you help me?~
@16   = ~Yes.~
@17   = ~I don't have time for this.~
@18   = ~I understand. Return here if you change your mind. I'll stay here for a while. I could really use a witness in this case.~
@19   = ~Great! Now, Please, take me to the place where it happened. Where you would meet. We would previously meet at my place and while I have an idea where it could have happened, I want to be sure.~
@20   = ~Seven Legs, hmm? That's what I thought.~
@21   = ~That's where it happened.~
@22   = ~You wanted to see it and now we're here.~
@23   = ~I see. I'll go and check it now, perhaps gather some samples and ask the owner some questions. It will take a couple of minutes.~
@24   = ~I talked to him and checked the place where it happened. I thought I sensed some anomaly, a cosmic space marker detectable only with proper spells.~
@25   = ~Cosmic... markers? Did you hear that, Boo? It sounds like something for <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> group! We should make sure no evil will be... lured by these things!~
@26   = ~Anyway... thank you for taking me here. Now, would you mind if I asked some questions?~
@27   = ~No, I wouldn't.~
@28   = ~I don't want to talk about this... Really.~
@29   = ~So tell me about the details you remember about the whole event.~
@30   = ~The scroll Heron gave me was quite unusual. It didn't make any sense.~
@31   = ~When we were taken to a weird place by that spell, there was a creature waiting for us that looked a bit like a mind flayer.~
@32   = ~The creature that was there had this orb. I still have it.~
@33   = ~When the creature that called us was dying, it dropped this amulet.~
@34   = ~Before I was summoned by that weird creature, Hrom and Miga said some weird words. In some language I never heard before.~
@35   = ~The place where we met the creature... was dark. Cold. It looked as if it was some spongy gigantic beast itself.~
@36   = ~When we were brought to that weird plane, Hron and Miga attacked me and...~
@37   = ~That is all I can tell you.~
@38   = ~Perhaps you were strong enough to resist it. Those scrolls lie to all your senses, but some can confront it.~
@39   = ~When we were taken to that weird place by that spell, there was a creature waiting for us. Looked a bit like a mind flayer.~
@40   = ~Before I was summoned by this weird creature, Hrom and Miga said some weird words. In some language I never heard before.~
@41   = ~With tentacles, yes? I think I saw a sketch of it, once. Interesting...~
@42   = ~The scroll Heron gave me was quite unusual. It didn't make any sense of it.~
@43   = ~The place where we met the creature... it was dark. Cold. It looked as if it was some spongy gigantic beast itself.~
@44   = ~Hmm, intriguing. It looks like that thing used this as some... tool. I think it can join different parts of the universe.~
@45   = ~Hmm, a vile thing. Not something most people would like to see.~
@46   = ~Just like on the scrolls... that is getting even more unusual. From what I understood it could control some people. Perhaps there was some message engraved in the words on the scroll.~
@47   = ~Gigantic beast? Well, I suppose I should probably have used some better locks to keep those scrolls away... Anything else?~
@48   = ~The scroll Heron game me was quite unusual. It didn't make any sense.~
@49   = ~When we were taken to a weird place by that spell, there was a creature waiting for us. Looked a bit like a mind flayer.~
@50   = ~I know... It's... probably... traumatic. I understand where it might have led to.~
@51   = ~Thank you for sharing that information with me.~
@52   = ~I understand. You're already helping me a lot.~
@53   = ~I need to read my notes now and gather my thoughts. Let's meet in a day. I'm staying at the Beds & Breakfast on the Tangled Oak. You can usually find me outside though, as the owner won't let me smoke my pipe inside. As if it was worse than the fireplace inside...~
@54   = ~Anyway, meet me outside the building in a day.~
@55   = ~And again - thank you.~
@56   = ~Sorry, but I still need some more time with my thoughts. Come back in a while.~
@57   = ~So, I've been thinking and... I believe I know what to do next. We need to make sure those creatures are all gone. But as we don't have the scrolls themselves, only clues, we need to find a way to get to that place the creature summoned you to the last time.~
@58   = ~The problem is I can't take us to them from here. Let's say... we need to be at least *halfway* and First Material Plane isn't it.~
@59   = ~When I was solving a different case I... assisted a spirit in its journey back to eternal sleep. It showed me its own pocket plane from where he could enter the slumber. Perhaps that's where we should go?~
@60   = ~I think I know the place. Without getting into details, we need to go to a cave not far from here.~
@61   = ~You truly are a <MANWOMAN> of many talents and assets. Show me the way. I'm right behind you.~
@62   = ~I guess that's the place we are to plunge ourselves into, hmm? Let's go.~
@63   = ~This place if magnificent... I never would have expected there is a door to such--~
@64   = ~...~
@65   = ~It's just unbelievable. But I suppose we should focus now. Let's meet there, near that pond-like thing.~
@66   = ~You're here. Good. Now, I think I can take us to the place you were taken to the last time, but it will be just me and you. I can't take anyone else. There we'll need to get rid of the other creatures that worked with the one you already killed. There will be two of them, both powerful, so make sure you are prepared.~
@67   = ~When you're ready just come back to me. We'll finally end this... and avenge the Book Club.~
@68   = ~Ready for the fight?~
@69   = ~Yes. Let's end this.~
@70   = ~Not yet. I need to prepare.~
@71   = ~Let's go then.~
@72   = ~I... I'm sorry. They imprisoned me, but I hope that spells I cast just in time worked fine.~
@73   = ~I can see that you handled everything quite well. Now... let me take a breath and let's get out of here. Make sure you haven't left anything as we won't be able to come back.~
@74   = ~Ready? Can we leave?~
@75   = ~Yes. Let's go.~
@76   = ~No, I need to check something first.~
@77   = ~Good.~
@78   = ~And... it's done. Finished...~
@79   = ~Thank you that we could work on this together. We not only avenged the Book Club, but we also made sure that those creatures won't hurt more innocent people. I just hope they are gone for good.~
@80   = ~They must be... right? We killed them.~
@81   = ~Har har! 'Twas good t'see them bleed an' fall.~
@82   = ~This time I'll agree with you, Korgan.~
@83   = ~We should be prepared for every scenario.~
@84   = ~We all know, friend, that some stories repeat themselves over and over again. 'Tis done for today, but... does it was the last time we heard about those creatures? Nay, that we cannot say.~
@85   = ~But we can still celebrate surviving this peculiar encounter - that part is most certainly true.~
@86   = ~It's a pity the Book Club couldn't be saved...~
@87   = ~They were too weak to save themselves. They deserve the end they met, girl. (Will they even understand that is HOW this world works?)~
@88   = ~We may have won, but... still, there is this bitter aftertaste to all of this...~
@89   = ~We can hope it's all over. But even though, we should keep our eyes open. Just in case.~
@90   = ~This is a gift from me. Now... I don't like long goodbyes, so... Take care, <CHARNAME>. It's been a pleasure to work with you. Hron and Miga knew who to befriend. I wish you well - with whatever's there, waiting for you.~
