Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Hobriaut: <pant><pant> I swear to you, that woman is a fiend! A monster! A greater danger to this realms than all the beast tribes put together, and then some! Why, I speak of Marcette, of course.
Hobriaut: No sooner did I return with the three hundred hornet stingers she requested than she sends me off to conduct a water survey at Hopeseed Pond! In my condition, I'm like to fall in face=first and drown. Oh, friend, I'm too young to die! Please say you'll help me... you must!

Delivering the Bottles of Water to Hobriaut

Hobriaut: I don't want to be Research Assistant Seven, Twelve, or Forty-three! I just want to go hoooooooome—hm? Ah, praise the gods, you're back. Were you able to complete the survey?
Hobriaut: One, two, three samples from Hopeseed Pond. Wonderful! I cannot thank you enough. Though I cannot help but ponder what other backbreaking tasks might be in my future... Pluck the wisdom teeth of a goobbue? Procure a leaf from a treant's head? The gods only know.
Hobriaut: Grandfather, Grandmother...can you hear me up there? Your dear grandson shall be joining you all too soon...
