Timon Rae snickers.
Timon Rae tells you, "Okay, it's really one of Martine's tricks. A cunning disguise, No?"
Timon Rae tells you, "I'm a scholar. Martine asked me to tell anyone that kills the darned things what their leavings mean. I don't translate though. Can't read a book for nothing."

Remmick tells you, "The farms are still producing. But some of the people that are down there helping me appear to be a lot more shady than before. I almost wish that there was a way to get Martine back."
Remmick tells you, "But is not likely to happen"
Remmick tells you, "I don't think that he is dead though. Hard to kill that man. His spirit never died."
Remmick tells you, "No, sir. I think that he as at home right now with Melanay and Arrita enjoying a nice cup of green tea."
Remmick tells you, "It's certainly a much more pleasing thought, don't you think?"

Kira Sojini tells you, "It was you people that brought Martine to his end. You and your meddling. Why couldn't you have left him alone?"

Kira Sojini tells you, "You make me sick."

Ichi Ji tells you, "I've never had a customer that didn't live down here with us before. This has been an odd time. Now you people are crawling all over the place. There's nothing to see here."
Ichi Ji tells you, "Okay you got your wares, outsider, now move along!"

Julian Bartok tells you, "Since Martine... left the simulacra that used to assist me in the armory have begun acting strange."
Julian Bartok tells you, "It's starting to become a chore to keep them in line. But so far so good. Hibdin is a good man, but the things down there don't listen to him the same."

Hibdin Velos tells you, "You cannot blame Ambrosia. It wasn't her fault."

Hibdin Velos tells you, "For now I am the acting leader, or so I've been told. I'm doing my best to hold things together, but the minions that Martine once commanded have become a little more, ornery and free willed. I can only hope that things remain peaceful."
Hibdin Velos says, "If you have a moment to spare, please come talk to me."

Ambrosia Roe tells you, "It wasn't me you see? I never meant to say all of those things. I struggled against them, I didn't want to say those horrible things and look what I have done. I hope that Hibdin can forgive me. Curse you Gaerlan."

MARTINE'S RETREAT

Timon Rae tells you, "Hello Fellow human, might I interest you in some insight into we who live beyond the world?"
Timon Rae snickers.
Timon Rae tells you, "If you would hand over any objects of Virindi nature I will divine the truth behind them."

Remmick tells you, "Hello there. Grab a chair. You look new. My name's Remmick. I work the farms below this retreat. Someone needs to make sure that we can eat after all."
Remmick tells you, "Someone told me that Martine was holed up in his room somewhere and wasn't talking to anyone. I had no idea he was still recruiting."
Remmick shakes his head as he looks at you.
Remmick tells you, "There I go again shooting my mouth off. I can tell by the way that you are looking at me that its not the case. You didn't come here for his help you came here to stop him."
Remmick tells you, "Well listen here. He's a strong man, a smart and wise man who has the best interest of these, we, people at heart. Sure he's been misguided as of late but that darned Gaerlan guy is to blame for that."
Remmick tells you, "He's gone now. So there'll be no more trouble. We don't want trouble, we just want to live."

Kira Sojini tells you, "Hrmph! You look new. Too new. Your weapons look like that belong out there."
Kira motions up.
Kira Sojini tells you, "Hmmm."
Kira Sojini tells you, "Where does your loyalty lie? Well? Answer me. Oh never mind. It doesn't matter now."
Kira Sojini taps her brow and looks at you harshly.
You say, "Yes, that's right"
Kira Sojini tells you, "You're not from here, that is obvious. But I'm hoping that you have some understanding of the hardships that we have faced and continue to face. But it's not like you had any yourself. Sure slaying monsters is hard work, but have you ever been bereft of family and friends...?"
Kira Sojini tells you, "Of course you have...I know. But listen, Martine...he took care of us and was there for us when we needed him and now he's gone. Blinded by rage and manipulated by Gaerlan. It's been hard on all of us...Please, just leave me be."

Josef tells you, "I knew if I whispered long enough one of you outsiders would make your way over to me. The names Josef, and before you ask no there's no surname. Just Josef. Don't ask cause I ain't tellin'."
Josef tells you, "Now listen up, and listen up well cause i don't like taking to much time in repeating myself. It makes me waste precious air and that's not fun."
Josef clears his throat and then drops his voice into a deep whisper.
Josef tells you, "A while back the boss, Martine, was planning on opening the way to Marae Lassel. A new home for people. Thing is there were people there already, like us but they grew up different. No big deal right? Well the thing is when he did his spell or whatever something else happened."
Josef tells you, "He finished his little trick and suddenly a portal storm hit the center of the living area here. Portal energy was whipping off the walls and down the corridors. Next thing we know there's a guy sitting in the middle of the room, naked as the day he was born and about eight, maybe nine feet tall."
Josef tells you, "He was real confused. Had no clue where he had come from or where he was, just his name. Gaerlan. And he said over and over again...is Asheron among you."
Josef tells you, "Now here's the rub. I know a lot more than that, but I need some help. So you help me...I help you. Take this."
Josef gives you Josef's Wish List.
Josef tells you, "Get me the things on that list and I'll talk. It's simple really."
Josef says, "Watcha lookin' around for? That was me that called you."

Julian Bartok tells you, "Hey there friend. You look like you already have some fine protective gear."
Julian Bartok snickers.

Julian Bartok tells you, "Though when I am here I'm off duty so I'm liable to forget what it is you needed or wanted."

Leandra smiles gently.
Leandra shakes her head.
Leandra tells you, "Hi there. You're new. Are you to help Martine? Hey wait a minute. Where did you get...No you're obviously not new. You don't really belong here do you?"
Leandra smiles gently.
Leandra tells you, "We knew that we couldn't keep this place hidden forever. We were truthfully just relying on the kind hearted nature of Martine to make the transition back to the others a little easier. But now."
Leandra shakes her head.
Leandra tells you, "Poor Martine. I worked with him you know as his Chief Alchemist. Still do. We've done some interesting things. But then again I've heard you have up there too."
Leandra tells you, "Enjoy your stay here."

Hibdin Velos tells you, "Hey there friend. No doubt you've tried the door and found that Martine has sequestered himself away in there. I wish there was a way in. I've been told by Josef that there is a way in. That Josef knows a lot."
Hibdin Velos tells you, "Listen. Martine. He's not really a bad guy. He's confused and that got a lot worse after that Gaerlan guy showed up and made things worse. For a while it looked as though he was going to beat that thing inside his head. But then that Gaerlan guy kept...reminding him and telling him to seethe and grow into the anger."
Hibdin Velos sighs.
Hibdin Velos tells you, "My companion Ambrosia thinks the only way to save Martine is to make him remember his hate. I think it's the exact opposite. A long time ago he was in love with his wife. He still has a love letter or two in his room."
Hibdin Velos tells you, "If you can find that and bring it to him, I know that he'd snap out of this and do the right thing by all of us."
Hibdin Velos tells you, "Of course, you should listen to Ambrosia some, she has other ideas."
Hibdin Velos says, "Yes, I used to drink but Martine brought me out of that."
Hibdin Velos says, "I haven't touched a drop in nearly two years now."
Hibdin Velos says, "He's a good guy deep down. I never failed him because he never failed me."

Ambrosia Roe tells you, "So you came here looking for Martine did you? Well...then that's good. You see the Master lies just inside this room. Only problem is we can't get in by any conventional means."
Ambrosia Roe shakes her head and clucks her tongue.
Ambrosia Roe tells you, "Of course if you listen to what Hibdin has to say the Master just needs to find his focus again. Ha!"
Ambrosia Roe lowers her voice to a whisper.
Ambrosia Roe tells you, "Hibdin of course is just a little crazy. He was a drunkard when Martine found him. Wasting his life at the bottom of a bottle. What Martine needs is to remember his rage and direct it back at Asheron. Elysa slighted him for that fossil. That thing from a bygone age when the world was..."
Ambrosia Roe shivers and stares into space for a moment.
Ambrosia Roe tells you, "I'm sorry. You should help Martine. There is an entryway to his study around here somewhere. Go there and find a tusker husk. He blew it up you see, with the power of his mind."
Ambrosia Roe tells you, "Collect it, bring it to him and wait for the fireworks as he gets prepared to go and kill the Old Man."
Ambrosia Roe says, "Hibdin has no idea what he's talking about."
Ambrosia Roe says, "Hibdin, are you sure you don't want another drink?"
Ambrosia Roe says, "Don't listen to him, he's drunk again."

Behdo Yii tells you, "I had never seen these fearsome creatures that close before, and the fact that I escaped with my life leads me to believe that these Olthoi aren't quite so tough as their mainland counterparts.

If you could journey to this tumerok outpost and rid it of these troublesome beasts I would be most grateful."
