Quest dialogue
25 lines of in-game dialogue from Hidden Scheme. Main speakers: Bao, Baison, and Caelid.
- BaisonNow for the information I promised.
- Kochi and his Shugo have been fighting to keep control over the Tolbas Forest, until eventually he got fed up and hired us.
- But Astin had his own plans from the start. Nothing good can come from getting caught up in a quarrel between Cogni.
- So he was trying to stall for time by demanding more supplies and higher contract fees before running away.
- LuterosSo it was one big scam.
- PhernosIs that all you have for us?

- BaisonThere's a cave nearby where Astin meets his clients. He probably met the Shugo there too.
- Astin is probably involved in Kochi's kidnapping. He's always pushing his scams too far.
- CaelidLuteros. Tell Bao everything we've found out so far. Phernos, Daeva, let's head for that cave.
- Astin is not here. You must find Jade.
- JadeDare to show your face again, eh? You're looking for the captain?
- Why would I tell you? If you're not here to hire us, get out my face.
- CaelidThis is testing my patience. How can we find out where Astin has gone?
- Let's get back to Bao and Luteros for now.
- BaoI heard everything, nyerk! We've been betrayed! Mark my words, Astin will pay for this, nyerk!
- Where has that scoundrel gotten to? We need to teach him a lesson!
- CaelidStay calm. There's no solid proof yet. We'll need to capture him red-handed.
- We found a document detailing an upcoming trade, so let's ambush them at the scene.
- BaoSounds good to me, nyerk! In the meantime, can you clear out the treacherous mercenaries nearby? They've been stealing our merchandise, nyerk!
- I'll have to lead the merchant company in Kochi's absence, nyerk! Get us back our merchandise!
- BaoBack already, nyerk? Yes, these look like our goods! Thank you, nyerk!
- Nyerk? You want to know where your comrades went?
- They rushed off saying it was time for the trade. You can meet them at the Illicit Trade Spot entrance, nyerk. Be quick!
- I'll be at the Eastern Shugo Station. Be careful, and come find me when you're done, nyerk!
- CaelidAh, you're here.
