Quest dialogue

91 lines of in-game dialogue from Between Faith and Doubt. Main speakers: Phernos, Dymones, and Caelid.

  1. DymonesEveryone's here now. You may speak, Akarios.
  2. PhernosWhile surveying the canyon, we came across ancient tablets claiming this area was once contaminated by a Dragon Lord's poison and subsequently submerged in water.
  3. And yet, to look at it now, you would never know. How is this possible, Dymones?
  4. DymonesThe tablets speak true. This entire area was completely submerged after the attack.
  5. But it has since reemerged as a result of seismic activity, retaining every trace of Zumion, the first Daeva.
  6. That includes the Mace of Blessing she once wielded. That and the other holy relics must have preserved the land.

  1. Unfortunately, Meslamtaeda's blood reemerged as well. We're doing what we can to manage it.
  2. PhernosHoly relics... and Meslamtaeda's blood...
  3. Caelid. Can you gather everyone? I have something to tell you all.
  4. It would be best to talk somewhere more private. Can you recommend anywhere, Dymones?
  5. DymonesWe'll use the Notos Legion Office.
  6. DymonesWhat did you wish to share that required such privacy, Akarios?
  7. PhernosTell me more about Meslamtaeda's blood.
  8. DymonesLong ago, this place came under attack from the second Dragon Lord, Meslamtaeda. Zumion and her priests did what they could to fight back...
  9. Ultimately, they were all slain, but not before dealing Meslamtaeda a heavy blow, spilling his blood across the land.
  10. As the poisonous blood ate away at the land, those few priests who survived worked to seal it away. We've inherited that responsibility.
  11. PhernosWhat about Zumion Temple? Does it still exist?
  12. DymonesThe temple grounds remain, but we have yet to find an entrance.
  13. CaelidWhat are you thinking, Phernos?
  14. PhernosWe will dissolve the barrier.
  15. CaelidHow, pray tell?
  16. PhernosWith Meslamtaeda's blood.
  17. HithanyaYou're out of your mind.
  18. PhernosMeslamtaeda's blood is a poison like no other. There is no material or magic it cannot penetrate. That includes Illusion Barriers.
  19. LuterosYou can't be serious...
  20. PhernosIt is the only way! Would you rather wait for Reda to come out voluntarily?
  21. CaelidTo even consider such a path... We're Daeva! What do you mean, use a Dragon Lord's blood!?
  22. PhernosDo you have a better suggestion?
  23. NaniaBut Phernos, what if the area becomes contaminated again?
  24. PhernosThen that is a risk we must take. Our priority is to find Reda!
  25. HithanyaAll I'm hearing is you couldn't care less what happens to Verteron, as long as you get your hands on that Core.
  26. PhernosWatch your tone. It's because of irresponsible Daeva like you that Atreia has degenerated to such a sorry state to begin with!
  27. Have you not followed me this far because you trusted me? Why are you hesitating now we're this close to the Core?
  28. DymonesI am willing to be your guide, Akarios. I trust you know what you are doing.
  29. HithanyaOh, shut up would you, Dymones! Your sycophancy makes me sick.
  30. PhernosI won't waste time arguing. Either offer a solution of your own, or work with me.
  31. Luteros...
  32. HithanyaYou really are an insufferable old bastard.
  33. DymonesBut how will we transport Meslamtaeda's blood to the barrier? It dissolves anything it touches.
  34. PhernosThere are holy relics of Zumion to be found here.
  35. Zumion was not only the first of the Daeva, but a Cleric. I am certain her power will hold the key to handling the blood's toxicity.
  36. DymonesAs expected of Akarios...! Always one step ahead! Fortunately, we already have one of her holy relics in our possession.
  37. CaelidPhernos! Enough! This isn't right!
  38. PhernosLet me ask you a question, Caelid. What did the others say when you suggested going to Poeta to rescue me?
  39. I'm sure they called you insane. Opposed it wholeheartedly.
  40. You cannot succeed in this world with only logic and conventional methods. If anyone could understand that, I had hoped it would be you.
  41. Caelid...
  42. CaelidThis isn't right... You've lost all reason!
  43. HithanyaPhernos was praised as a sage of great wisdom... Yet all I see before me is an obsessive madman.
  44. CaelidThere's simply no justifying it... How can a Daeva even consider using a Dragon Lord's blood?
  45. LuterosWe've followed him this far already. We may as well just help him.
  46. For all we know, Zumion's holy relic might not allow us to carry the Dragon Lord's blood after all.
  47. NaniaWhat exactly has Phernos done for us so far other than stand in the back offering unsolicited advice?
  48. HithanyaNania's right. There's no need to rely on that senile old fool. We're not irrevocably tied to him...
  49. CaelidWhat are you saying, Hithanya?
  50. HithanyaI'm saying I don't want to keep helping Phernos.
  51. CaelidIf we don't, the Notos Legion will. Then they'll be the ones to cross the Bulwark with him.
  52. Hithanya*sigh* We just can't win.
  53. NaniaThere's nothing else for it. We'll just have to stick with Phernos. But the moment he tries anything reckless, we'll stop him, Captain.
  54. LuterosI agree. Why not wait until we see the results first before making a call?
  55. Caelid...Fine. I'll defer to your opinions. Forgive my indecisiveness. It's unbecoming of a so-called captain...
  56. Hithanya and I will stay behind. I'll trust the three of you to do what's needed.
  57. I'll call you on the Selvis if anything comes up.
  58. PhernosHave you reached a decision?
  59. CaelidDaeva, Luteros and Nania have agreed to join you.
  60. PhernosThen there is no need to delay further. Let's get the holy relic from Dymones.
  61. CaelidI apologize for raising my voice earlier, Phernos. My legionnaires will support you.
  62. PhernosUnderstood.
  63. DymonesMy subordinate, Adrian, is watching over the holy relic. I'll take you to him.
  64. Akarios. It's a pleasure.
  65. Come, follow me.
  66. Lead the way.
  67. AdrianCommander Dymones! I've prepared Zumion's holy relic!
  68. DymonesI entrust it to you, Akarios.
  69. LuterosWow...
  70. NaniaWhat do you plan to do with this, Phernos?
  71. PhernosWhen the Dragon Lord Meslamtaeda attacked Zumion Temple, Zumion's priests were turned into stone.
  72. We shall find those petrified priests, and awaken them.
  73. LuterosWhat are you planning to discuss with a bunch of statues?
  74. PhernosAs you are all no doubt aware, Meslamtaeda's blood is extremely potent and deadly.
  75. We'll need a vessel to contain it. A grail of some kind.
  76. Zumion, the greatest of Clerics and first Daeva, would surely have possessed a vessel that can withstand it.
  77. DymonesSo you're planning to find the temple's entrance by using the holy relic to talk with the priests!
  78. PhernosCorrect, Dymones. Do you know where we may find these petrified priests?
  79. AdrianThere are statues near the Destroyed Temple that are often heard mumbling.
  80. PhernosSo they're able to speak already. That is good.
  81. DymonesOur legionnaires are keeping watch over the area. I'll contact the observation post right away.
  82. LachesisThe name's Lachesis. I'm in charge here. I received news you'd be coming.
  83. PhernosWhere can we find the statues?
  84. LachesisRight above us. But... don't expect too much.
  85. NaniaWhat do you mean?
