• Player: Thanks for the information!
• Monk: ...You tricked me. I'm not talking to you anymore.

The Archer

• Player: So I hear theres a leprechaun around here who can show me the way to Zanaris?
• Archer: ...W-what? How did you...?
• Archer: No. You're wrong. Now go away.

The Wizard

• Player: Found that leprechaun yet?
• Wizard: Hahaha! Go away, amateur! You're not worthy of joining our great group!
• Player: ...Right.

The Warrior

• Player: So let me get this straight: I need to search the trees around here for a leprechaun. Then, when I find him, he will tell me where this 'Zanaris' is?
• Warrior: What? How did you know that? Uh... I mean, no, no you're very wrong. Very wrong, and not right at all, and I definitely didn't tell you about that at all.

The Leprechaun

Chopping the swamp tree

• Player: Where could I get such a staff?
• Shamus: Dramen staves are crafted from branches of the dramen tree, so they are. I hear there's a dramen tree in a cave over on the island of Entrana.
• Shamus: There would probably be a good place for an elephant like yer to look, I reckon.
• Shamus: The monks are running a ship from Port Sarim to Entrana, so I hear. Did yer need a teleport over to Port Sarim?
• What do you say?
  • Yes, please, a teleport would be useful.

Entering the cave

• Cave monk: Be careful going in there! You are unarmed, and there is much evilness lurking down there! The evilness seems to block off our contact with our gods,
