Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Tholl Tinkerer: Lali-ho! Oh, you couldn't have chosen a better time to visit!
Tholl Tinkerer: Those vile Goggs have stolen away my precious automaton! Stolen her away, and stashed her in some cluttered corner of their village with the rest of their ill-gotten goods...
Tholl Tinkerer: Problem is, I'm a drinker, not a fighter. And I doubt I could creep past their guards without one of them seeing me.
Tholl Tinkerer: That's where I need your help! If [a Hume/an elf/a strange dwarf/a Mystel/a Galdjent/a Drahn/a Ronso/a Viis] like you were to walk in and distract them, then I could smuggle out my automaton with no one the wiser!
Tholl Tinkerer: I mean, you shouldn't be in any danger. Goggs and Tholls are mortal enemies, aye, but they don't attack other folk on sight. Usually.
Tholl Tinkerer: Let's move a little closer to Komra, and get this rescue mission underway! Don't you worry, my little bucket of bolts─you'll soon be home again!

Speaking with the Tholl tinkerer

Tholl Tinkerer: Do you see those two lookouts? Just walk up to them, bold as you please, and give a hearty “lali-ho!”
Tholl Tinkerer: Once you have their attention, tell them...oh, I don't know...that you saw a stinky Tholl sneaking about nearby or something. That should get them moving. Then I'll tiptoe in, grab my automaton, and meet you back here.
(Optional)
Tholl Tinkerer: Just belt out a happy “lali-ho,” then tell those lookouts you saw a Tholl nearby. Once they move off to investigate, I'll slip in and out, then meet you back here with my automaton. Sound like a plan? 

With the chat mode in Say, entering any phrase containing Lali-ho to distract the Gogg lookouts

Gogg Lookout: Hm? You lookin' for trouble, stranger?
"Lali-ho"
Gogg Lookout: Lali-ho! What brings you to Komra?
Gogg Lookout: What!? A stinkin', ugly Tholl!? I'll catch the bugger by his piss-drenched beard, and knock his helm clear into next week!

Gogg Lookout: ......
"Lali-ho"
Gogg Lookout: Lali-ho! What can the Gogg do for you?
Gogg Lookout: A Tholl!? Here!? Aye, you did well to let me know. I'll soon take care of this lurker...

Speaking with the Tholl tinkerer

Tholl Tinkerer: Well done, [lass/lad]! You played your part to perfection! As you can see, the rescue was a success! 
Tholl Tinkerer: Come on back to Tomra, and we can talk rewards.

Speaking with the Tholl tinkerer

Tholl Tinkerer: Ever since there've been dwarves, it seems the Goggs have hated the Tholls. Although I'm not rightly sure why...
Tholl Tinkerer: Well, I know why we hate the Goggs! Their beards are unkempt, straggly messes, and the bastards dig in our mines without so much as a by-your-leave!
Tholl Tinkerer: Grrr, it makes my blood boil! Next time they come around, I'll be waiting with an automaton army! We'll make them wish they never left Komra, the thieving, scrounging curs!
Tholl Tinkerer: Oh, I almost forgot your reward. And I'll be keeping a closer eye on my dear clunker here, don't you worry...
