Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Claudian: Do not look down, Claudian! You must not, you will not, you cannot look—aaaaaahhh!
Claudian: By the Twelve, my good woman/man, you frightened me half to death! But you must forgive me: I've been a bit restless of late, what with those winged nightmares swooping in from every which direction, pecking and poking and pricking at me.
Claudian: I might as well pack up my instruments and go home, as I won't be getting an onze of research done. If, however, a kind adventurer like yourself were to use these scarecrows to drive the birds away, it would be another story. What do you say?

Reporting to Claudian

Claudian: Do not look—oh, you've seen to the birds, have you? Splendid work, friend! Now to head back down and return to my research. Er, worry not, I'll be along any moment now—be on your way.
