Talking to Grubfoot
[edit | edit source]- Grubfoot: Please let me in Dorgesh-city!
- Mistag: I'm sorry, but surface goblins are not allowed into the city.
- Grubfoot: Player! I so glad you here! You help me get into Dorgesh-city? I want talk to Chosen Commander.
- Select an Option
- Chosen Commander? You mean Zanik?
- Player: Chosen Commander? You mean Zanik?

- Mistag, why won't you let Grubfoot into the city?
- Player: Mistag, why won't you let Grubfoot into the city?

- Mistag: The council made an agreement to let humans from the surface into the city, but there was no such agreement about goblins.
- Mistag: The council wants to extend a hand of friendship to surface goblins, but we have heard that they are a very warlike people. Most of the Dorgeshuun think that letting them into the city now would be going too far.

- Guard: What are you doing in the city, surface goblin?
- Grubfoot: I looking for Chosen Commander!
- Guard: Commander of the guard?
- Player: He means Zanik.
- Guard: Zanik's not any kind of commander. She'd never fit into a command structure, she's too independant.[sic]
- Guard: Anyway, I think I saw her with Oldak earlier. You should check his workshop.
- (Dialogue 2:)
- Guard: I'm keeping an eye on you, surface gobiln.
- Grubfoot: I not make any trouble!
- (Dialogue 3:)
- Guard: A surface goblin in the city? That's against the rules!

Talking to a cave goblin

- Cave goblin: Oh? Chosen by whom?
- Grubfoot: Big High War God! He choose Zanik to lead all goblins into new age!
- Cave goblin: The war god? Oh no!
- Player: It's okay! Zanik isn't in league with any war god.
- Player: Grubfoot, you probably shouldn't mention the Big High War God down here. He's not exactly popular with the Dorgeshuun.
- Dialogue 3:
- Cave goblin: What happened to your eyes?
- Grubfoot: Nothing wrong with my eyes.

- Grubfoot: I looking for Chosen Commander.
- Player: He means Zanik.

- Grubfoot: No! Chosen Commander!
- Player: He means Zanik.
- Grubfoot: Yes! Chosen Commander!
- Captain Undak: Zanik? A commander! Ha ha ha!
- Captain Undak: Zanik's a great kid - best shot with a crossbow I've seen - but she couldn't command anything.
- Captain Undak: I think she's in Oldak's lab right now, messing about with runes.
Talking to Zanik without Grubfoot
[edit | edit source]- Zanik: What have you discovered about that fungus ring, Oldak?
- Oldak: Oh yes, the fungus ring in the caves to the south. It's very interesting.
- Oldak: I ground up the sample you collected for me, and I found a powder very similar to the active ingredient in law runes.
- Zanik: Oh, hello, [Player].
- Player: Hello, Zanik. There's a goblin from the surface here to see you.
- Zanik: Really?
- Zanik: You should bring them in. I'm sure they'd like to see the city.

- Player: Why don't other goblins believe?
- Grubfoot: They say Zanik not true goblin. She cannot be Chosen Commander because she not worship Big High War God. Because she not think war good.

- Select an option
- That's an unusual sentiment for a goblin.
- Player: That's an unusual sentiment for a goblin.
- Zanik: Yes. I thought all surface goblins thought war was good.
- Grubfoot: Most do, but not me.
- Grubfoot: I see goblins kill goblins, humans kill goblins. I think, is this really best thing in life?
- Grubfoot: I not say that to other goblins. They kill me if they think I not like war.
- (Shows the previous-to-previous options.)

- Player: What is the Chosen Commander?
- Grubfoot: Goblin legend. Hopespear, long ago goblin, he have dream. He say some day Chosen Commander come, lead all goblins to new age.

Before you visit Goblin Village I dream about Zanik. And now, last night I have new dream.
- Select an option
- Why don't other goblins believe?

- Grubfoot: Then I see Chosen Commander. She stand at entrance to new land. She show way in. She lead all goblins on long journey to new land.
- Grubfoot: I never see land before. I see it only in dream. But somehow I know what it is. It Yu'biusk, Land of the Goblins.
- Cutscene ends.
- Select an option
- Yu'biusk?
- Player: Yu'biusk?
- Grubfoot: That goblin legend. Land of Goblins. Legend say long ago, even before war of gods, goblins come from Yu'biusk.
- Grubfoot: Big High War God find them in Yu'biusk and take them to other lands.
- Grubfoot: Most goblins forget legend. Think only of war. But I think, if Zanik lead us back to Yu'biusk, maybe we have peace. Maybe we be safe from people who want to kill us.
- Select an option
- That's an unusual sentiment for a goblin.
- How do you know your dream was true?
- Player: How do you know your dream was true?
- Oldak: Yes, how do you know?

- Zanik: What do you think, Player?
- Select an option
- It's just a dream. It doesn't mean anything.
- Player: It's just a dream. It doesn't mean anything.
- Grubfoot: It's not just dream! It true! I know in heart!
- Oldak: I'm sorry, Grubfoot, but wanting something badly doesn't make it true.
- Zanik:Even so...if there's any chance there might be something in it, we have to investigate.
- (Continues below.)
- I think it must mean something.
- Player: I think it must mean something.
- Grubfoot: Thank you, Player. I know you believe me!
- (Continues below.)
- I don't know.
- Player: I don't know.
- Zanik: It's probably nothing, but if there's even a small chance there's something in it, we have to investigate.

- Zanik: So where is this promised land, Grubfoot?
- Grubfoot: I not know. Not know any goblin who know.

- Zanik: Player is a friend. You can tell [him/her].
- Grubfoot: I suppose...but you must promise to keep goblin secret.
- Grubfoot: There secret place. Secret temple to Big High War God. No one know of it but goblins. Priests in secret temple, I think they know way to Yu'biusk.
- Grubfoot: But before I tell you where temple is, you must make promise. Promise not to tell any other non-goblins where temple is. If humans find out, maybe they attack, kill all goblins in temple.
- Zanik: I promise, Grubfoot. I won't tell anyone where the temple is.

- Grubfoot: It far west of here, near place where many humans catch fish.
- Oldak: Hmm...I believe that I know which cave system you mean. I can make teleport spheres to take you there.
- Grubfoot: I can't go. I must get back to Goblin Village before generals miss me.
- Oldak: Oh, that's a pity. Just a minute...
- Oldak: Here, break this sphere on the ground. It will take you back to Goblin Village.
- Oldak: Player, Zanik, are you ready to leave?
- Zanik: I'm ready.
- (Continues below.)
- I won't promise that.
- Player: I won't promise that.
- Zanik: I want your help with this, [Player]. If you won't promise to keep the temple secret then I won't go there.

- Player: What? But you said you had a way.
- Oldak: Yes, I think you can get into the temple, but not without being a goblin.

- Can you teleport me to the temple again?
- Player: Can you teleport me to the temple again?

- (Dialogue ends.)
- I just like goblins.
- Actually, I don't want to be a goblin.
- (Dialogue ends.)
- Makeover Mage: I think I know how, but I've never deliberately transmogrified someone into another species before. It's a very risky procedure and I don't want to be held responsible if it goes wrong.
- Makeover Mage: I'll tell you the recipe so you can make the potion yourself. You'll need some pharmakos berries; they are the special ingredient I use to transmogrify people. Make a potion with them and toadflax, like this...
- The Makeover Mage gives you a bunch of strange red berries and explains how to mix a goblin transmogrification potion.
- Makeover Mage: Now, when you've made the potion, remember that the transmogrification is very delicate.
- Makeover Mage: It will reverse itself if you are in direct sunlight or if you perform a strenuous activity like fighting. It will also reverse itself if you try to wear anything that goblins don't normally wear.
- Makeover Mage: You should only drink it in the area you're going to need it, so you don't waste it.
Talking to Makeover Mage again
[edit | edit source]- Makeover Mage: Hello there! I am known as the Makeover Mage! I have spent many years researching magicks that can change your physical appearance.

- Player: Can you give me some more pharmakos berries?
- (If player has pharmakos berries in inventory:)
- Makeover Mage: I think you already have some, so you just need to get some toadflax and make the potion.
- (If player does not have pharmakos berries in inventory:)
- Makeover Mage: Of course. You just need to combine them with toadflax in a vial and you'll have a potion to transform you into a goblin.
- Makeover Mage: But they are hard for me to get, so please don't waste the potion.
- Makeover Mage: Remember, it will reverse itself if you are in direct sunlight or if you perform a strenuous activity like fighting. Now, here are the berries.
- The Makeover Mage gives you bunch[sic] of strange red berries.

- (Shows the previous options.)
- Why did you attack me?
- Player: Why did you attack me?
- Mosschin: I only answer the questions of those who are worthy. I had to test you.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- What's it like being dead?
- Player: What's it like being dead?
- Mosschin: All alone. I thought my soul would travel to Yu'biusk. But perhaps I was not worthy.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- (If at least one of the previous options has been selected:)
- Goodbye.
- Player: Goodbye.
- Mosshin: Goodbye, human.
- Mosschin fades away and disappears.
Redeyes
[edit | edit source]- Redeyes: You have defeated me, human. Ask your questions.
- Select an option
- Where is Yu'biusk?
- Player: Where is Yu'biusk?
- Redeyes: Yu'biusk is far away. Beyond the icelands to the north, beyond the mountains to the west, beyond the oceans to the south and the deserts to the east.
- Redeyes: But it is also close. Wherever goblins fight in the name of the Big High War God and their blood spill on the ground, Yu'biusk is close.
- Redeyes: My predecessor told me that no living goblin has ever gone back to Yu'biusk. I think, if no living goblin can go there, then perhaps the dead can.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- What was your predecessor's name?
- Player: What was your predecessor's name?
- Redeyes: Strongbones. He was a mighty priest and warrior of the Big High War God. It was he who learned the magic that allows us to be called up to speak with the living.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- Why did you attack me?
- Player: Why did you attack me?
- Redeyes: You are not a goblin high priest, so I had to see if you were worthy.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- What's it like being dead?
- Player: What's it like being dead?
- Redeyes: I had thought perhaps I would go to Yu'biusk, to fight in endless battles with the Big High War God but, instead, there is only endless sleep.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- (If at least one of the previous options has been selected:)
- Goodbye.
- Player: Goodbye.
- Redeyes: Good luck in your quest, human.
- Redeyes fades away and disappears.
Strongbones
[edit | edit source]- Strongbones: You have proved yourself the stronger, human. Ask your questions.
- Select an option
- Where is Yu'biusk?
- Player: Where is Yu'biusk?
- Strongbones: Yu'biusk is not a place on Gielinor. It is another plane of existence. No goblin alive today has ever been there.
- Strongbones: It is many millennia since the Big High War God brought our ancestors from Yu'biusk, but the call to that plane is still strong in us.
- Strongbones: If the barriers between the planes were ever to be broken, goblin blood would call out to open a portal to Yu'biusk.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- What was your predecessor's name?
- Player: What was your predecessor's name?
- Strongbones: His name is not important. He is not buried here. Before my time, priests were cremated, and their ashes scattered to the winds. You cannot talk to him.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- Why did you attack me?
- Player: Why did you attack me?
- Strongbones: You are a human, not one of the children of the Big High War God. For this reason you had to prove yourself in combat before I could answer you.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- What's it like being dead?
- Player: What's it like being dead?
- Strongbones: I cannot tell you. I no longer remember what it is like to be alive.
- (Shows the previous options.)
- (If at least one of the previous options has been selected:)
- Goodbye.
- Player: Goodbye.
- Strongbones: Goodbye, human. I am sure that the Chosen Commander will find what she is looking for when you bring her to Yu'biusk.
- Strongbones fades away and disappears.
Exiting the crypt while not being a goblin
[edit | edit source]- You are caught and thrown out of the goblin temple.
Path to Yu'biusk
[edit | edit source]Returning to the city
[edit | edit source]Talking to Oldak
[edit | edit source]- Oldak: Hello, [Player]. Thank you for rescuing Zanik! She's been telling me all about the temple.
Talking to Zanik
[edit | edit source]- Zanik: How are you getting on in the temple? Have you found out where Yu'biusk is?
- (If player has not defeated high priests in the crypt)
- (Transcript missing. edit)
- Player: I defeated all the undead high priests in the crypt, and the last one told me how to reach Yu'biusk.
- Player: He said Yu'biusk was another plane of existence, but if the barriers between the planes were ever breached, goblin blood would call out to Yu'biusk and create a portal to there.
- Oldak: Another plane? You mean goblins aren't native to Gielinor?
- Oldak:That's remarkable. Think of the historical implications...
- Player: But how could we breach the barriers between the planes?
- Zanik: I know! The fungus ring in the southern caves! Didn't you say it had magical properties, Oldak?
- Oldak: Yes... that sample you showed me had properties very similar to the active ingredient in 'law' runes. I believe that the fungus ring could create an effect similar to my Moving-Over-Distance Spheres.
- Player: That's a fairy ring. They're part of the fairies' teleportation network.
- Oldak: If it can create a Moving-Over-Distance effect then, with enough power, we should be able to break the planar barriers.
- Oldak: All we need to do is activate it without any destination set, with Zanik standing next to it, and it should open a portal to Yu'biusk!
- Zanik: I can't believe this! If we can reach the goblin homeland, Grubfoot and the other goblins will be able to go there and be safe!
- Zanik: [Player], this is my destiny! I'm sure of it.
- Oldak: We should see if this works before we tell anyone else. I think I can create an apparatus to open the fungus ring.
- Oldak: Come on, Zanik. [Player], will you meet us by the fungus ring to the south of the city? You should be there to see what happens.
Through the fungus ring
[edit | edit source]Talking to Zanik
[edit | edit source]- Zanik: This is incredible, [Player]! I can't believe we're really going to go to the Land of the Goblins that Grubfoot talked about!
- Zanik: You should help Oldak with the machine. He wants me to stand here so that when the portal opens it'll have a goblin right next to it.
Talking to Oldak
[edit | edit source]- Oldak: Ah, [Player]. The machine is nearly ready.
- Oldak: When I activate the machine, it will bombard the fungus ring with magical energy. But the power will have to be distributed correctly between the three circles of fungus.
- Oldak: I need to handle the activation. [Player], could you please handle the distribution of power between the rings?
- Oldak: The inner ring is two zurgs wide, the next one is four zurgs, and the outer one is six zurgs wide. You will need to distribute the power in proportion to the area inside each ring.
Incorrectly distributing the power
[edit | edit source]- Oldak activates the fairy ring.
- Oldak: The [inner/second/outer] ring overloaded. You'll need to decrease power to that one, or increase power to one of the other two.
Correctly distributing the power
[edit | edit source]- Oldak activates the fairy ring.
- Zanik: Oldak! It's working!
- A portal opens.
Land of the goblins
[edit | edit source]- Cutscene starts.
- Oldak: Something must have gone wrong. This isn't what Grubfoot described.
- Zanik: No, this is the place. I can sense it.
- Oldak: But it's so barren. What happened here?
- Zanik: The Big High War God happened.
- Zanik: [Player], how long ago did the goblins come from Yu'biusk?
- Player: The high priests didn't know exactly. Thousands of years.
- Zanik: That vision that Grubfoot had – it was of Yu'biusk thousands of years ago.
- Zanik: This is what happens when the god of war has his way with a place for thousands of years.
- Oldak: You two should explore. See if you can find any more information. I'll stay here and shout if the portal starts to close.
- Cutscene ends.
Talking to Oldak again
[edit | edit source]- Dialogue 1:
- Oldak: You should explore this plane. See if you can find any more information about it. I'll stay here and keep an eye on the portal.
- Dialogue 2:
- Oldak: I'm not sure how long the portal will stay open, but it's holding for now. You should do your exploring quickly.
Talking to Zanik again
[edit | edit source]- Zanik: There must be something around here somewhere. It can't all be dead...can it?
Exploring Yu'biusk
[edit | edit source]- Oldak: Zanik! [Player]! The portal is starting to close! You don't have much longer!
- Zanik: What's that? Quickly, [Player], we can look at it before the portal closes.
Examining the box
[edit | edit source]- Cutscene starts.
- Zanik: Help me get this open, [Player]! There's something important in here, I'm sure of it!
- You and Zanik push at the strange box's lid.
- Zanik: What's happening?
- Zanik: [Player]!
- Zanik disappears.
- Oldak: The portal is closing! You've got to get back NOW!
- Oldak: [Player]! What happened? Where's Zanik?
- Player: I don't know! She just vanished!
- Oldak: There is no time to find her. The portal will close any second.
- You and Oldak leave Yu'biusk.
- Player: We've got to get back there. We've got to rescue Zanik!
- Oldak: There's no way to rescue her, [Player]. I'm sorry.
- Oldak: When the portal closed, it was as if the fungus ring was becoming resistant to my machine. Opening the portal again now would take more power than there is in the whole of Dorgesh-Kaan.
- Oldak: If you can find some other way to use the fairy rings, maybe you could look for Zanik. But even then you might not be able to find her.
- Oldak: Whatever's happened to Zanik, wherever she is...she's on her own.
- Cutscene ends.
