Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Rakitt: Lali-ho! Say, you're that [visitor/foreign dwarf] ain't you? What do you reckon your chances are of smashing a combat automaton?
Rakitt: That's my job, you see─making contraptions what can protect the village from eaters and such. My latest and greatest invention is the “ironbeard killer”!
Rakitt: ...Well, maybe not the greatest. As soon as I turned the bugger on, it straightened up, twitched a bit, then raced right out the gate. And as much as I'd like to go after it, you never know what a failed automaton might do...
Rakitt: What's worse, I tuned this one to be extra aggressive. Like as not, I'd barely squeak out a lali-ho afore it pulped me into a bloody mess. I need you to forcefully disassemble the killer, and bring me back its core!
Rakitt: Last I saw, it was trundling away to the southeast. Here, you can use this lump of coal to pick your battlefield─the automaton is designed to refuel if the opportunity presents itself.
Rakitt: While it's stuffing its face with that, you can get in the first blow. And make it a good one! I didn't call it “killer” for nothing!
(Optional)
Rakitt: Head over to the southeast, then use that coal to set up your ambush. Oh, and once you're done taking that bugger apart, don't forget to retrieve the core!

Delivering the automaton core to Rakitt

Rakitt: Oh, you're back! Any luck retrieving that core?
<Hand Over Automaton Core>
Rakitt: ...Aye, looks to be in good shape. I can start building a new model straightaway!
Rakitt: This here stone is both heart and mind for an automaton, you see. It defines more than just basic behavior, but personality as well.
Rakitt: And it was no easy feat making one what's formulated for battle, let me tell you. I'd rather pull out my beard strand by strand than start again from scratch!
Rakitt: That was, what, my eighth failed automaton...? Bah, I'll get it right this time! Thanks for saving me all that extra work!
