    • I need the money.
      • Player: I need the money.

      • Player: Wait. You lost a whole squad. Should I be worried?
      • Captain Jal Degreene: Hmm? Oh, we sent a squad into the mines to see why the goblins were getting so aggressive. We've not seen them since.

    • Thank you. I'll get right on it.

Only on the first time

      • Corporal Binns: You don't know much, do you? They're people with a special talent for neutralizing magic in the immediate area.
      • Corporal Binns: What's more they can detect the magical signature of individuals and let that magic through. We're lucky to have him here. Not every town has one of his ilk.

Afterwards

  • Corporal Binns: You need to get geared up. Head to the quartermaster in the building to the southeast of this training ground.

      • Anjay Sandorman: We have a guy who teaches some useful spells for new recruits and I suspect you have the aptitude to learn.
