Rog on Grand Quest /1
Rog, the Dealer: The grand quest that brought me here? Oh, no, that's a long story. I couldn't possibly. |
Rog on Kalguurans /4
Rog, the Dealer: What is it you want to know about us? |
Ranger: Just tell me your roles, so I can understand how this place functions. Huntress: What do you all do in this grand stone village? Monk: What is life like here? Witch: I don't know. I don't do small talk. Sorceress: We all have a tale. I want to know what makes you, you. Warrior: What do you do here? I've never seen a village this large. Mercenary: How does one make money around here? Druid: How do ye and yours fare here? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Fair enough. I'm terrible at it, too. |
Rog, the Dealer: Well, most Kalguurans here on Wraeclast are in various guilds. I'm in the Meridian Free Traders, the trade guild that owns the charter for Kingsmarch. You can't beat our logistics! |
Rog on The King /5
Rog, the Dealer: There is no greater concentration of loyal followers of the King than here in Kingsmarch... know what I mean, {friend?} |
Warrior: I understand. I recently became a very loyal and dedicated follower of my own Count. {Friend}. Witch: I like you. You're funny... {friend.} Sorceress: This king of yours would do well to stay away, lest he end up skinned. Ranger: I'm not your {friend}, Kalguuran. Huntress: I feel like I'm missing somethin'. Monk: Loyalty and dedication are valuable traits to have. Mercenary: Heh heh, I catch your drift, {friend.} I'm always in for a {good cause.} Druid: Enough word tricks! Speak plain, will ye? Templar: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Duelist: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Templar: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: It's always good to meet a new {friend.} Let's keep in touch. Rog, the Dealer: Oh, wow... that's rather direct... You and I should keep in touch. Rog, the Dealer: Oh... okay then. Rog, the Dealer: Alright, never mind then. Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog on Kingsmarch /8
Rog, the Dealer: Oh, Kingsmarch? It's what we Kalguurans call this little port town of ours, and also the region around it. |
Ranger: {Kings}march... you answer to some sort of King, then? Huntress: Never seen a place like this. Must I speak to someone in charge? Monk: And whose law must I follow in this place? Witch: And what petty little man calls himself your lord? Sorceress: {Kings}march? Ugh. So you've got a King to worry about, I take it? Warrior: {Kings}march... hmm. We have Counts and Thanes in Ezomyr. Mercenary: Cuttin' in on Trarthan trade, I see. Who's responsible? Druid: Who do ye follow, fat ma–
Duelist: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: All this has been authorised by the King... and we certainly pay enough taxes that we can never forget that... but we're quite far from home. We're mostly left to our own devices. |

Rog on Long Story /3
Rog, the Dealer: Alright then - if you insist, I'll tell the tale! Two decades ago, our glorious leader, Dannig, led us on an expedition across stormy and dangerous oceans to look for an artefact called the Triskelion Flame. |
Ranger: So I've seen. Huntress: So it seems. Monk: A sad state of affairs. Witch: And {me.} Sorceress: Outside the Vastiri, maybe. You should visit our desert sometime. It is quite beautiful. Mercenary: Ain't that the truth. Druid: Aye... sadly, that much is true... Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] Warrior: It's not quite {that}... well, yeah. It is bad. |
Rog, the Dealer: But we excavated many ancient sites, uncovering some of the lost history of our people's short residence here. Long ago, Kalguurans tried to settle on Wraeclast, and uh... well, yeah... it did not go well. |
Rog on Humming Pearl /4
Rog, the Dealer: Oh my... what's that there? It's beautiful! |
Ranger: It's a pearl. Huntress: A pearl I found in a clam. Monk: A treasure of the sea. A pearl. Witch: A pearl, of course. Sorceress: I found it in some sort of shelled creature. I think you call it a... 'pearl'? Warrior: It's a pearl. I found it in a clam. Mercenary: A big ol' pearl! Druid: A pearl, pulled from the belly of a clam. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: That's not just any pearl... Hmm. I've an idea. I know I've got something around here that'd fit that nicely... |
Rog on Humming Pearl /2
Ranger: For me...? Huh... nobody's ever given me a gift like this before. Huntress: Thank you kindly. Monk: I accept this gift. Thank you. Witch: Hmm... a bit shiny. But I suppose I'll take it. Sorceress: Oh Sir Rog! Haha! I don't think you know what this means in the Vastiri, but I will take it as you intended. Warrior: Skilled work, my friend. Mercenary: I'm always up to be bribed. Druid: I'll wear it well. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Consider this kindness in the future, {friend.} |
Rog on The Preacher /3
Rog, the Dealer: Business has been on the rise ever since he took up residence outside my shop... |
Druid: Has it now? |
Rog, the Dealer: People duck in here to seek refuge from him, and I make a sale while they hide. It's a win for everybody! |
Rog on Shop /4
Rog, the Dealer: This shop is my pride and joy. I've been dreaming of running my own place since my younger days, even though that was impossible back home. |
Ranger: What brought you here? Huntress: I'd never have left me home of my own choosin', no matter what I had to endure. Monk: You followed a dream. I can respect that. What was your hardship? Witch: What drove you away, fat one? Sorceress: This sounds like a beautiful dream. Tell me more of this, Sir Rog. Warrior: Home is wherever your family is. What made you leave Kalguur? Mercenary: Ah, the quest for wealth. What was the issue in Kalguur? Druid: What stopped ye? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: There are a limited number of merchant licenses, all owned by wealthy families. New licenses only come up every few years, but I could never afford one back in Kalguur. I've fallen on better times here in Wraeclast, you might say! |
Rog on The Wife /3
Rog, the Dealer: Oh, my Gwennen never did feel quite comfortable here. She spends much of her time off continuing our adventure. Doesn't have anything to do with the King's Hand being in town this year... |
Ranger: It's how I'd live, if I was here. Huntress: Ah. Say no more. Monk: I see. Witch: Okay. Sure thing. Sorceress: I understand you. I am not exactly welcome back home either. It is my bane to bear. Warrior: I won't say a word. Mercenary: I catch what you're danglin'. Druid: Aye. I take yer meanin'. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |

Rog on Order of the Chalice /8
Rog, the Dealer: I am bound by honour to discover the fate of Uhtred and the Order of the Chalice on Wraeclast. I'll trade you for any relics that you find with their marks and runes. |
Ranger: Who was in this Order? Huntress: I'll bring you what I find. Who were they? Monk: Tell me more of this 'Order of the Chalice.' Witch: I've never heard of this 'Order of the Chalice.' Sorceress: Order of the Chalice? They sound interesting. Tell me this tale. Warrior: The Order of the Chalice? Who were they? Mercenary: Will do. Out of curiosity, who were they? Druid: I've not heard o' this 'Order of the Chalice'. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: They were the primary priesthood and religious order that went in with the initial ships to Wraeclast. |
Ranger: A religious order? I thought the Kalguurans... hmm. What kind of priests? Huntress: What is a 'priest?' Monk: Ah, so heretics. Strange. I haven't heard you mention faith. Who were these priests? Witch: I thought you odd bunch didn't have a religion. What kind of priests were they? Sorceress: I did not know Kalguurans were religious types. What kind of priests were they? Warrior: They were priests? Mercenary: Ahh. So, a cult. Got it. What were they like? Druid: Priests, eh? Didnae think you Kalguurans were fond o' religion. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: Not quite the type you have out here. They interpreted the stars and the workings of mysterious forces, such as alchemy and runes. |
Ranger: You're right, that's not like priests here... Huntress: I get ya. Elders and wise-men, then. Monk: To each their own. Witch: But those are {real} things. Sciences. Sorceress: Oh, they were tale-women! We are not so different after all. Warrior: That sounds more like smiths and engineers. Mercenary: Ey? That's not a religion... huh. Druid: No denyin', there's wisdom to be found in the stars. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |

Rog on Introduction /4
Rog, the Dealer: We're back on the trail of the Triskelion Flame! Our grand quest has resumed once more. I'm a little fearful, but also excited. I have a good feeling about this. |
Ranger: You know what? Me too. Huntress: The hunt can be set aside, but it never ends. Monk: As do I. Witch: That makes one of us. Sorceress: It's good to see you out here, Sir Rog. I know you will achieve great things. Warrior: That makes two of us. Mercenary: Heheheh! You got a taste for it again? Druid: Let's see if we can pick up the trail.

Rog on Olroth /5
Rog, the Dealer: You finally found and defeated Olroth! A battle for the ages, no doubt! |
Ranger: That's not important. The Flame was destroyed. Huntress: It would have been, if the Flame hadn't been destroyed. Monk: It's not about that. I couldn't save the Flame. Witch: Of course. Shame about the Flame, though. Sorceress: I wish you could have seen it, Sir Rog. Perhaps then you could have salvaged the Flame. Warrior: It was. The Flame, unfortunately, was destroyed. Mercenary: Right you are! Could't get the Flame, though... Druid: Indeed it was. But I couldnae save the Flame. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: {Olroth} had the Flame? Then Uhtred was not a traitor! I can finally set history right! |
Ranger: Why is this so important to you? Huntress: What's got you so excited? Monk: Indeed. Witch: Yes, yes... Why do you care, anyway? Sorceress: A worthy accomplishment. Warrior: So. It's personal. Mercenary: A couple thousand years too late, innit? Druid: Truth will out, in the end. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: I am descended from Owen, the son that Uhtred sent back for safety. You've washed clean a black mark on my lineage. I thank you. |

Rog on Uhtred /4
Rog, the Dealer: Thousands of years ago, the last news coming back home painted Uhtred in quite the negative light. |
Ranger: How's that relevant now? Huntress: And this is still important? Monk: I understand all too well. Witch: I know too well how vicious people can be... Sorceress: I can imagine this pain. His honour was blackened, yes? Warrior: You don't believe it? Mercenary: Were the reports {true?} Druid: Tall tales can travel far. Was there truth to these words? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Some called him a traitor, but the details were sparse and confusing. I'm here to clear his name... or condemn him. The truth shall stand above all. |

Rog on Uhtred /2
Rog, the Dealer: It sounds like Uhtred was indeed a traitor, but I feel like the story is not yet finished. Before I send word of this back home, would you find out the rest? It's... a matter of importance to me. |
Ranger: I'll let you know what I find. Huntress: Of course. Monk: I shall. Witch: Alright... I'll try to look into it. {Perhaps.} Sorceress: For you - yes, I will. Warrior: I'll do what I can, friend. Mercenary: If I can, I will. Druid: I'll do my best, lad. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |

Rog on Uhtred /7
Rog, the Dealer: I just saw a bloody comet fall right out of the sky! |
Warrior: Your ancestor... {he} pulled that comet down. Witch: Your ancestor summoned that comet. Did you not know he could do that? Sorceress: Uhtred called down the comet himself. If I had not witnessed it, I would think it absurd. Ranger: You're not going mad. It was Uhtred who called down the comet. Huntress: That comet were all Uhtred's doin'. He ripped it from the very stars. Mercenary: We may both be mad... I saw Uhtred call down the comet himself! Monk: Yes. Uhtred summoned the comet of his own accord. Druid: It was he who called down the comet... yer man Uhtred. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: What? Really? Hmm... Uhtred's disciples {studied} the stars.... but they were scientists, not magicians. |
Rog, the Dealer: What's that? Another logbook? Would you mind grabbing that for me? |
Rog, the Dealer: Wait. Where is the Triskelion Flame? |
Warrior: If he had the Flame, I did not see it. Just this logbook. Witch: This logbook's the only thing he left behind. Sorceress: If Uhtred had the Flame, he hid it well. I found only this logbook. Ranger: Not here. If Uhtred had it, you'd think he'd have used it to defend himself. Huntress: Beats me. All he had was that logbook. Mercenary: Wherever it is, it ain't here. Monk: I can only assume it lies elsewhere. Uhtred did not have it on him. Druid: I wondered the same. If Uhtred once had the Triskelion, that time seems long since past. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Does that mean Uhtred was {not} a traitor? He didn't steal the Flame after all? |
Rog on Uhtred /4
Rog, the Dealer: I've read Uhtred's logbook a dozen times... So, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. |
Warrior: Are you alright? You don't seem excited. Witch: You don't {sound} ready. Sorceress: Are you not excited? You are retracing the tale of your lineage! Mercenary: Shouldn't you be, y'know, excited? Monk: You seem... subdued. I'd have thought you'd be more excited. Shadow: [DNT] Ranger: Then let's get going. Huntress: Alright then. Let's get a move on. Druid: Then let us not waste any time. Duelist: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Oh, I am! It's just, y'know... uh, complicated. Rog, the Dealer: Right. This is my opportunity to learn the truth... no matter what it is. |
Rog, the Dealer: My ancestor {was} a traitor. Uhtred stole the Flame, dooming that first expedition. |
Rog on Missing Wife /12
Witch: Who is this Gwendolyn? Or whatever her name is. Warrior: Who is Gwen? Sorceress: Who is this Gwennen you all speak of? Ranger: Who's Gwennen? Huntress: Who is this Gwennen o' yours, anyway? Mercenary: I haven't seen this Gwennen. Who is she? Is she a looker? Monk: Who is this 'Gwennen'? Druid: I keep hearin' the name Gwennen, but I'm yet to meet the lass. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: RogExp2_MissingWifeGwenNotKnown_A1_StrInt4 Marauder: RogExp2_MissingWifeGwenNotKnown_A1_Str4 |
Rog, the Dealer: You mean Gwennen? Rog, the Dealer: That's... my wife. The four of us came from Kalguur together. |
Mercenary: Oh... heh. Sorry about that. |
Rog, the Dealer: But yes, if you must know, she is a 'looker'. |
Rog, the Dealer: She's my wife. The four of us came from Kalguur together, seeking adventure. |
Rog, the Dealer: She was never content to stay in one place, Gwen. Especially not Kingsmarch. |
Warrior: Do you know where she might be? Witch: Where was she last? Sorceress: Where have her travels taken her? Ranger: I know how she feels. Huntress: So she's off adventurin' now then? Mercenary: So she ain't here? Then where is she? Monk: Where is she now? Druid: I'm a bit of a wanderer myself... Where has she wandered off to this time? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: RogExp2_MissingWifeGwenNotKnown_B3_StrInt4 Marauder: RogExp2_MissingWifeGwenNotKnown_B3_Str4 Warrior: Do you know where Gwennen might be? Witch: Where was this elusive Gwennen last seen? Sorceress: Where might Gwennen be? Ranger: Do you know where Gwennen could've gone? Huntress: Any ideas where Gwennen is? Mercenary: You must have {some} idea where Gwennen is... no? Monk: Where do you think Gwennen might be? Druid: Have ye any idea where Gwennen might be? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: I'll try not to take that personally. Rog, the Dealer: That she is. |
Ranger: Not about Kingsmarch specifically. Just civilisation in general... it's not for me. Huntress: Where? |
Rog, the Dealer: Not to worry. I'm only jokin'. |
Ranger: Well if she's not here, then where is she? |
Rog, the Dealer: I wish I knew. When Gwen's away, she sends messages with updates on her adventures. |
Rog on The Ancient Mirror /5
Warrior: The mirror... do you know anything about it? Witch: You didn't recognise that mirror? I assumed it was some Order artefact. Sorceress: The mirror that Uhtred used – does that belong to the Order? Ranger: Is that mirror we found somehow related to the Order? Huntress: Reckon this mirror has summat to do with the Order? Mercenary: This mirror thing... you think it's related to the Order? Monk: What do you know of the mirror we found? Druid: This mirror we found... what is it? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: The Order of the Chalice has some covert practices. High Priests and disciples swear lifelong oaths of secrecy. |
Warrior: So what do {you} think happened? Witch: Uhtred came out of the mirror to fight me, so he was quite familiar with it. Sorceress: You must have {some} idea of what it is. Huntress: Then... what {is} it? Mercenary: If it ain't Uhtred's... then what's that mean? Druid: Then why was it there? And why was he? Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] Ranger: Well then what do you think? It can't have just been there by coincidence. Monk: In that case... might he have sought the mirror out? Duelist: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Actually, I think it's Uhtred who wasn't there by coincidence. Rog, the Dealer: Certainly seems that way, doesn't it? |
Rog, the Dealer: If Uhtred was able to pull down Verisium himself, he could do that anywhere. But he is here... |
Rog on The Comet /3
Rog, the Dealer: A comet that size... summoned by Uhtred himself. It's hard to believe. |
Warrior: It was an awe-inspiring sight. Witch: Well, believe it. I saw it with my own eyes. Sorceress: It was certainly... unexpected. Ranger: Not sure I {would} believe it, if I hadn't seen it for myself. Huntress: Never seen anythin' like it. Mercenary: I'm still not sure I believe it and I {saw} the bloody thing. Monk: It was a sight to behold. Druid: Aye, lad. Damn near took my breath away. Duelist: RogExp2_OnComet_A2_StrDex4 Shadow: [DNT] Templar: RogExp2_OnComet_A2_StrInt4 Marauder: RogExp2_OnComet_A2_Str4 |
Rog, the Dealer: I've read some... dubious accounts, describing an ancient 'starlit rite' of the Order. I suppose some of it was true. |
Rog on The New Plan /4
Warrior: It must be hard to leave Kingsmarch behind after all the time you've spent here. Witch: You lot are starting up the adventure again, I see. What of Kingsmarch? Sorceress: Kingsmarch has been your home for so long. How do you feel about leaving it? Ranger: Are you nervous about leaving Kingsmarch behind? Huntress: You spent so long buildin' Kingsmarch up. Can't be easy now to leave. Mercenary: Must be strange, movin' away from Kingsmarch after all this time. Monk: Any doubts about leaving Kingsmarch? Druid: How do ye feel about leavin' Kingsmarch? Duelist: RogExp2_OnNewPlan_A1_StrDex4 Shadow: RogExp2_OnNewPlan_A1_DexInt4 Templar: RogExp2_OnNewPlan_A1_StrInt4 Marauder: RogExp2_OnNewPlan_A1_Str4 |
Rog, the Dealer: Of course I'm scared, but Gwen's right. We cannot continue to live under the King's scrutiny. |
Warrior: This time? Witch: This time? Tell me more. Sorceress: There was another time? Ranger: This time? Huntress: I'm sorry – this time? Mercenary: Whaddaya mean 'this time'? Monk: This time? Druid: Did ye say 'this time'? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: What? No. No, that's... that's not what I said. |
Rog on The Triskelion Flame /3
Rog, the Dealer: Amazing! We're really making history here. |
Warrior: Are you alright, Rog? Witch: Oh, no... You're not about to start crying, are you? Sorceress: It is quite moving. Do you need a moment? Ranger: I think that's my cue to get going... Huntress: Would you, uh... prefer if I left you alone? Mercenary: You alright, mate? Monk: Can I fetch you something? Druid: Ach... mayhap there's someone else you'd rather have this conversation with... Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: I'm fine! Yeah, nah, I'm good. I— I haven't felt this good in a while, actually. |
Rog on Gwennen /12
Rog, the Dealer: She really did it. She found Medved! My Gwennen can do {anything.} |
Gwennen: Your support means everything. Getting home to you and the kids is what kept me going. |
Warrior: I am glad to see you both happy. Witch: Ew. Sorceress: It is wonderful to see lovers reunite. Ranger: Alright then... Huntress: Returnin' home is a blessin'. Mercenary: Yeah, don't forget, I helped too! Monk: It is good you are safe. Druid: A beautiful reunion. Brings a tear to my eye. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: RogExp2_OnReunited_A3_Str4 |
Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Gwennen: Although... my adventure would have gone perfectly if I'd had {your} plans, logistics man. |
Rog, the Dealer: I do know how to make a good plan or two, heh. In fact, I've got a couple of plans for us later... |
Sorceress: How sweet. May I see the amulet he has made you? Ranger: First Ones save me... I'm still here, you know. Mercenary: Go on. Marauder: [DNT] Druid: Ach! To be young again. Me and my Aoife would make the wolves howl... Warrior: I... think I should go. Witch: Oh, please don't. I'm already seasick. Sorceress: How sweet. I will return later. Huntress: A proper celebration is in order! Monk: I am... needed elsewhere. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] |
Gwennen: What? I don't wear jewellery. He made you a necklace? Rog, the Dealer: We'd like a minute to ourselves, friend. Rog, the Dealer: I... don't know what that means. |
Sorceress: He did not intend romance, though... I would have accepted. I imagine his touch is quite delicate, like the breeze. Mercenary: Fine. But I'll be back! Marauder: [DNT] Gwennen: You'll have to tell us later. We'd like to be alone now. |
Rog, the Dealer: Uh, that's about enough I think... Sorry, we'd like to be alone now, if you don't mind. |
Gwennen: You'd best start explaining the necklace. |
Rog, the Dealer: Yes, dear. |
Rog on The Shop /4
Rog, the Dealer: Oh, I'm gonna miss it. My shop was my dream, but it was more than that... |
Warrior: You can always rebuild. You will get through this. Monk: You built your shop from nothing. There is no reason to say you can't do it again. Templar: [DNT] Witch: Chin up, fat one. At least you're not dead! Ranger: You're alive. That's something. Shadow: [DNT] Sorceress: Your children were unharmed. We can find solace in that. Druid: But the wee 'uns are okay, at least? Huntress: We'll just have to find her then, won't we? Mercenary: Don't worry, mate. We'll find her. Duelist: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Thank you, friend. I appreciate it. Rog, the Dealer: I know there are more important things. People's homes were ruined, too. Rog, the Dealer: Yes... and for that, I'm eternally grateful. Rog, the Dealer: I can only hope. Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Oh well. It's not the first time we've had to start over. |
Rog on Uhtred /7
Rog, the Dealer: Uhtred the Traitor... that's what they called him back home, anyway. I'm his descendant. |
Warrior: Priest? I thought Kalguurans did not have religion. Witch: Didn't pin you for a religious man, Rog. Sorceress: A Kalguuran religion? Without gods, what do you worship? Ranger: A priest? Didn't think you had those in Kalguur. Huntress: Didn't think you lot had priests. Mercenary: I didn't think you Kalguurans bothered with all that religious carry-on. Monk: Kalguur has priests, but no gods? Druid: A priest, eh? Didnae think you Kalguurans were fond o' religion. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: It's not like religion on Wraeclast. {Knowledge} is what the Order considers 'sacred'. |
Warrior: Runes are based on the Order's reading of the stars? That is amazing. Ranger: My mother told me that ancient Ezomytes could read the night sky. Witch: More delightful Kalguuran magic! Sorceress: Your people's magic is a true wonder. Huntress: Never heard of that kind of magic. Mercenary: That's a new magic, at least. Monk: Kalguuran magic is fascinating. Druid: What a strange brand of magic. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: RogExp2_OnUhtred_B2_DexInt4 Templar: RogExp2_OnUhtred_B2_StrInt4 Marauder: RogExp2_OnUhtred_B2_Str4 |
Rog, the Dealer: And it's not just runes! Many practices benefit from interpreting the stars. Rog, the Dealer: Fascinating stuff. I wonder how similar their interpretations were to the Order's... Rog, the Dealer: It's not magic! It's repeatable, and it's real. It's {science.} |
Rog, the Dealer: The Order requires rigorous discipline. The best became priests of the Order. Beneath them, disciples. As for Uhtred, well he was as devout as they come. |
Rog, the Dealer: Until the very end... when he stole the Triskelion Flame, making him a traitor. Rog, the Dealer: He was labeled a traitor for stealing the Triskelion Flame. Now we know that's not true. |
Rog on Uhtred's Fate /6
Rog, the Dealer: Uhtred's name is cleared, at least of stealing the Flame. I have you to thank for that. |
Warrior: Gems are not the only source of Corruption. It may have affected him over time. Witch: In my expert opinion, Uhtred was not {really} undead. Sorceress: There are other ways to avoid death. The djinn are one example. Ranger: I can't read them, but I saw glowing runes carved into his limbs. Huntress: He {were} different than the others. He came out of that strange mirror. Mercenary: How can you be so sure he never used gems? Monk: It is hard to say. There are many mysterious forces on Wraeclast. Druid: That place is powerful... terribly so. We both felt that. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: You think it's just because of {exposure?} He was alive on this continent for less time than {I've} been here. Rog, the Dealer: Wh... W-what do you mean? Rog, the Dealer: Do you think that's what happened? Uhtred was turned into a djinn? Rog, the Dealer: I saw those as well. It's not a practice of the Order, or any Kalguurans... that I know of. Rog, the Dealer: How do you mean? He was {behind} the mirror? But it was intact? Rog, the Dealer: Why spare a traitor's reputation by not mentioning that? And I saw no gems on him. Rog, the Dealer: You're not wrong, friend. But Uhtred made a point to {not} use them. Rog, the Dealer: That is true. Do you think it turned him into... a monster? Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Warrior: When you put it that way, it does seem strange. Witch: He seemed more... {transformed.} Kept muttering about the 'beyond' and the stars. Sorceress: It is possible... but unlikely. He did not resemble any djinn I've seen. And I saw no {barya.} Ranger: Perhaps your 'High Priest' messed with more nefarious magics, then? Huntress: He came through it like it were liquid. It were a frightful sight. Mercenary: The man had other secrets. Maybe he just hid the gems well. Monk: He used this mirror. As we fought, he travelled through it like a veil. Druid: Could be he died, and the temple is keeping his spirit there... why, I dinnae know. Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Well, he did study the stars, but... Rog, the Dealer: Really? Maybe this mirror... changed him? But how? Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] Rog, the Dealer: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: There must be {something} we're missing. |
Rog on Uhtred's Logbook /3
Rog, the Dealer: If you'd like, I'll read Uhtred's logbook for you. Yeah! Ahem. |
Warrior: What does that mean? He sent men to kill Olroth? Witch: You never mentioned that part! Uhtred stabbed Olroth in the back? Sorceress: Did I hear that right? Uhtred's followers tried to kill this Olroth? Ranger: Your ancestor got his men to do his dirty work for him? Huntress: Am I hearin' you right? His men tried to kill Olroth? Mercenary: Your ancestor's a dirty backstabber, then? Monk: Pardon? His men attacked Olroth? Druid: Wait a minute, lad. Your Uhtred tried to have Olroth killed? Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Templar: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Right... Uhtred's disciples stabbed Olroth. He almost died, but he was put in a glass case to preserve him. |
Rog on Uhtred /4
Rog, the Dealer: It's all set up. Everything's going as planned. We should be fine! Right? Hah. |
Warrior: I don't feel anything. Ranger: That makes one of us. Mercenary: Yeah, I think I do! Duelist: [DNT] Shadow: [DNT] Marauder: [DNT] Witch: Yes... I do. Something strong. Something ancient. Sorceress: I feel it. An ancient power dwells in this place. Huntress: I do... There's summat here, alright. Monk: You're not alone... I feel it too. Druid: Aye, lad. I feel it too. Templar: [DNT] |
Rog, the Dealer: Oh, okay. Maybe I'm just imagining it then, based on what I've read. Rog, the Dealer: Then we must be at the right spot. |
Rog, the Dealer: Every account of Uhtred's history agrees: he went into hiding at 'an ancient site of power'. |
