At the tree area

Toblaine: Here we are. Now what? Choose option

• • Now we get into the compound.
    • Player: Now we get into the compound.
    • Toblaine: This feels backwards. It's the criminals that are meant to break into places, not the guards.
  • Now we build a campfire and toast marshmallows.
    • Player: Now we build a campfire and toast marshmallows.
    • Toblaine: I wish you weren't joking. That sounds nice.
• Constable Carver: Captain Waltain sent word that I should turn a blind eye to a Hopeport mission into Helfar's compound.
• Constable Carver: I have to say, I'm glad. We've let Helfar get away with too much.
• Constable Carver: In fact I can do slightly better than blind eye turning.

Climbing the tree

• Constable Carver: Hey Borash, Grobar says he needs your help at the front gate.
• Helfar's Guard: I guess I better see what the fool wants.

Guard leaves

• Constable Carver: Quick over the wall, before he comes back.

Climb the tree

• Toblaine: Here we are in the jaws of the lion.
• Player: He's no lion. He's called Helfar the Nightcrow.
• Toblaine: Here we are in the beak of the crow.

Choose option

• • What's going on? Why are you a lizard?
    • Player: What's going on? Why are you a lizard?
    • Possibly Toblaine: I don't know. I think I'm some sort of half-dragon.
    • Possibly Toblaine: It's happened three times now, always when I'm exposed to fire. It wears off after a bit.
    • Possibly Toblaine: Please don't tell anyone. They'll think I'm a monster.
  • Are you kidding? That was awesome.
    • Player: Are you kidding? That was awesome.
    • Possibly Toblaine: You think so? Most people freak out.
    • Possibly Toblaine: Please don't tell anyone. They'll think I'm a monster.
  • We've got the cog. We can head back.
    • Player: We've got the cog. We can head back.
    • Possibly Toblaine: I'll go back to the barracks in a bit. I need to stop looking like a monster first.
