Dialogue

Prior to completing the heart

Well met, my friend! Have you come to enjoy my famous hospitality?

I was wondering if you need anything.

Need? Clearly, my crew has all they could ever want!

Why are they brawling and fighting so much, then?

Oh, now, that's just the crew having some harmless fun. You should join in!

Thanks. Maybe I will.

Good for you.

Who are you?

Why I'm Captain Penzan, formerly of the Captain's Council, currently of the Penzan Privateers. Surely you've heard of me.

I'm looking for a job. Do you need anything? (same as "I was wondering if you need anything.")

Nope, never heard of you.

During Defend Captain Penzan until he recovers his hidden treasure

Well met, my friend! Is there something I can do for you?

What are you doing?

My first mate and I are on a little excurions, you see. Just fetching a little buried treasure to pay for the crew's merrymaking.

If I help you, will you give me some of the treasure?

You don't need treasure. Join my crew and you'll have everything you'll ever need! Fame, glory, and fine spirits... lots of fine spirits.

Okay, so you want me to come with you, then?

If you want. Elsewise just head back to Moriarity's Hold and await my triumphant return.

Okay.

I'd rather just have the treasure.

Are you some sort of pirate captain, or something? (same as "Who are you?")

Good luck

Who are you? (same as "Who are you?")

What are you doing? (same as "What are you doing?" above)

Nope, never heard of you.

Nope.

After completing the heart

Hello again, my fine friend! I trust you're enjoying life amongst the ranks of my privateers?

I think I've had too much rum...who are you, again?

Why I'm Captain Penzan, formerly of the Captain's Council, currently of the Penzan Privateers. Surely you've heard of me.

I'm looking for a job. Do you need anything?

Need? Clearly, my crew has all they could ever want!

Why are they brawling and fighting so much, then?

Oh, now, that's just the crew having some harmless fun. You should join in!

Thanks. Maybe I will.

• Captain Penzan is a reference to Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance. At certain times, he will sing a parody of the Major-General's Song:

I am the very model of a modern pirate general,

I've information magical, mathematical and mineral.

I know the Queens of Kryta and can cite matters historical,

From Bloodstones to the dragon spawn in order categorical.

In fact, I write my washing bills in old Canthan cuneiform.

I'll tell you every detail sewn on Caudecus's uniform.

The skills and builds of warfare are essential to my strategy,

You'll say a better pirate general has never sat-a-gee,

For when you know the habits of the Charr and the Elonians

When you can tell at sight a Kurzick from an Ascalonian,

You'll know my martial knowledge, quite extensive and still myriad,

Myriad...myriad...myriad...ah!

Has only been updated for the Interregnum period!

But still in matters magical, mathematical, and mineral,

I am the very model of a modern pirate general!
