- No, it's not. There's goblins everywhere.
  - Player: No, it's not. There's goblins everywhere.
  - Commander Hackett: Are you trying to be smart with me? Also you'll address me as 'sir'. I'll be mentioning this to your training officer.
  - (Shows the previous options.)
- I just remembered I need to be somewhere else.
  - Player: I just remembered I need to be somewhere else.
- Corporal Binns said you needed a hand over here.
  - Player: Corporal Binns said you needed a hand over here.
  - Commander Hackett: He's not wrong. Constant goblin incursions are wearing down our men and equipment.
  - Commander Hackett: I'll give you a new sword to help fight. We've just received this new shipment.
  - Commander Hackett: The key arrived separately for security reasons. I've got a man fetching it now.
  - Screen fades out and back in.
  - Andrath: Commander, here's the key.
  - Goblin thief: Yoink!
  - Andrath: You little blighter.
  - Commander Hackett: Quick! Catch that goblin!
  - Screen fades out and back in.

Commander Hackett: Get that key back. The goblin thief ran south from here.
(Without the crate key:)
- Player: There's a whole bunch of goblins down that way.
- Commander Hackett: You'll have to find the right one then.
(With the crate key:)
- Player: I have it here.
- Commander Hackett: Hand it over then.

The player give the key to Commander Hackett. The commander opens the chest.
Commander Hackett: Wait. These swords haven't been tuned yet.
Player: Tuned? What does that mean?
Commander Hackett: Have you seen the big obelisk near Brannof Boulvard yet?
(If you have not discovered the obelisk:)
- Player: No, I've not been that way.
- (Continues below.)
(If you have discovered the obelisk:)
- Player: I did happen across that earlier, yes.
- (Continues below.)
Commander Hackett: Much of the armor and weaponry, in the world of Andothria, has been tuned at magic obelisks to be powerful within the vicinity of those obelisks.
Commander Hackett: Thus any armor or weapon which hasn't been tuned to the local obelisk is comparatively very weak.
Commander Hackett: These swords need to be tuned to be strong in Hopeport.
(Without one backpack space:)
- You don't have enough backpack space to take a sword.
(With one backpack space:)
- Player receives Wall Guard's Sword.
- You don't have enough backpack space to take both swords.
(With two backpack spaces:)
- Player receives 2 Wall Guard's Swords.
- Commander Hackett: Take them to the obelisk.
