Dialogue[edit]

Hero point empty.png I sense a deep thirst inside you. Perhaps my rum will ease it? I'm in a playful mood today. Answer me a riddle, and I'll share with you.
Talk more option tango.png Speak your riddle.
What's sharper than the wolf's sharpest teeth, quicker than the quickest leopard, and more adaptable than a hibernating bear ?
Talk more option tango.png A sword.
I'm going to pretend I didnt hear that. Try again.
Talk back option tango.png Can you repeat the riddle?
Talk end option tango.png I have to go. Good bye.
Talk more option tango.png Your rum?
No, but you get points for creativity. Try again.
Talk back option tango.png Can you repeat the riddle?
Talk end option tango.png I have to go. Good bye.
Talk more option tango.png Me!
(laugh) That may be true, but it's not the right answer. Give it another try.
Talk back option tango.png Can you repeat the riddle?
Talk end option tango.png I have to go. Good bye.
Talk more option tango.png Wit.
Well done. Raven likes you.
Talk merchant tango.png Let me see this rum, then. - making this choice gives your character a Raven Tonic in their inventory.
Talk end option tango.png That's enough for me. Never mind the rum.
Talk end option tango.png I have no time for riddles.
Hero point empty.png (if the character has a Raven Tonic in their inventory.)
That rum in your pack isn't doing anyone any good there. Why don't you pull it out, and we can toast the hunt![sic]
Talk end option tango.png Okay, sure.

Consuming the Raven Tonic grants the hero point.

Hero point.png Tell me, <Character name>. What did you think of the rum you got from me?
Talk more option tango.png I'll be raven about it for years.
(laugh) And I'll crow about your visit for even more years. Safe Journey, friend.
Talk end option tango.png Good hunting.
Talk end option tango.png It was dark and delicious. Thanks.
