Relic Seeker Scrounge

But what’s this?! I smell something on you right now! You have a relic for me!

Ahh... I smell something on you. Heavy with the past, you are. You have a relic for me, don’t you?

What? What now? What’s all that great racket? What is it?

Hornet

Greetings, ma’am. If you are disturbed by the rending of these lands, I fear some blame is mine to bear.

Pah. I care not for the miseries and struggles of them outside! None of them have my keen sense, my respect for the past!

You seem able, though. Sneaky, too. If you find any fine old stuff, anything with a history to it, bring it here. I’ll take it.

What? What, what? Who is it? What’ve you got? What do you want?

Hornet

I am just a traveller, one hoping you were not too badly affected by the cursed snare set upon this town.

Pah! What binds them outside means nothing to me. None of them have my keen sense, my respect for the past!

You seem able, though. Sneaky, too. If you find any fine old stuff, anything with a history to it, bring it here. I’ll take it.

It’s my calling it is, to gather the relics of the past. If you find any fine old stuff, anything with a history to it, bring it here. I’ll take it.

More, then! Bring me more relics of the past! Records, seals, idols! Let’s gather up the history of the world and hoard it all here, nice and safe!

What? What, what? Who is it? What’ve you got? What do you want?

Hornet

I am just a traveller. May I ask, though, what work occupies you here?

What occupies me, you ask? The past! The voices of ages gone by, they speak to me through what is left behind.

Those outside, those dreary pilgrims and bell-adorned dullards... none of them have my keen sense, my respect for the past!

You seem able, though. Sneaky, too. If you find any fine old stuff, anything with a history to it, bring it here. I’ll take it.

It’s my calling it is, to gather the relics of the past. Look at my collection, if you fancy! Look, look!

What? You refuse to pass it on? What good do you think it’ll do you?!

Yes... This fits my collection well. Look, then! Look at what I have!

Ah! That relic you possess! A cylinder of the Citadel’s sacred vault! That there is a mighty find. You will give it, yes?

Hornet

I will not, seeker. To extract what knowledge it holds, this cylinder requires a listening device, one you do not possess.

Hornet

If it were passed, whatever secrets it contains would remain forever hidden from us both.

Pah... If it will not speak to me, I do not want it! Don’t trouble me until you have something worth my taking!

What? What now? What’s all that great racket, what is it?

Hornet

Greetings, ma’am. It is only I. If you are disturbed by the rending of these lands, I fear some blame is mine to bear.

Blame, is it? Pah. Those who come after us can apportion blame as they see fit.

For now, my collection is the only thing that matters! I must protect it!

Give Relics?

A mighty collection of the past, is it not? If only I could hoard all of history here with me!

More, then! Bring me more relics of the past! Records, seals, idols! Let’s gather up the history of the world and hoard it all here, nice and safe!

Hornet

If I happen upon more curiosities of this kingdom’s past, I may visit again. Until that time, keep yourself safe.

Yes... yes. This is a mighty collection indeed!

So many relics safely piled up in here, nice and safe! I’ve done so well to gather it all up!

Hornet

If your collection pleases you, some acknowledgement of my own contribution to its growth is not undue.

Pah! Is it gratitude you seek?

I will allow you to keep viewing my collection. That is gratitude enough for what little you’ve given me!

Give Relic?
