Dialogue[edit]

Before the event starts
Kellik: But the only way to be sure ourselves is to actually go and get a reading manually. It's our scientific obligation!
Professor Brull: Perhaps, but I didn't last this long by charging recklessly after every errant waveform. This is why we hire krewes!
Professor Brull: We'll just need someone both strong and subordinate enough to... Ah, you there! I have a proposition for you!
Event trigger
Professor Brull: Ah, yes, you look like the perfect candidate to head up the security team for our exciting new expedition! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Talk more option tango.png How many people are on this security team?
Well, it's...uh...you, for now. But quality over quantity! And you'll be well compensated, of course.
Talk ready option.png I feel like I'm going to regret this.
Talk end option tango.png Afraid I'm going to have to pass on this one.
Talk end option tango.png For someone else, maybe, but not me.
Event start
Kellik: Oh, this is exciting! I've been dying to get some actual fieldwork in.
Professor Brull: Ah, the foolish vigor of youth. Fieldwork is what the krewes, golems, and (clears throat) security teams are for!
Kellik: But, Professor, something significant must be giving off these readings. Just think of the papers we could get out of it!
Professor Brull: Well, lead on, then. At worst, we can count it as "promoted innovation" on your next performance review.
First ambush
Professor Brull: Look out!
Reaching the Bridge between Worlds
Kellik: Oh no, this fissure is too large to cross. Maybe we should have left this to the golems...
Professor Brull: Wait—perhaps we can use this unusual growth rate to our advantage. You, find me a place to plant a vine.
Upon growing a vine bridge
Professor Brull: I knew it! See, I've still got a few tricks up my sleeves.
Kellik: Great thinking, Professor! Although... it's also kind of terrifying to see how much the flora here is affected.
Second ambush
Kellik: AH! More of them!
Professor Brull: This is nothing like the jungle I traversed in my youth. A terrible thing has happened here.
Kellik: This is certainly worse than I expected, but we can't have much more to go, right?
Event success
Professor Brull: The jungle used to be such a beautiful, fascinating place, but something has brought it all to ruin. It makes me so...

Notes[edit]

  • The Vine Seeds mechanic to grow bridges is reminiscent of the Bloodstone Fen mission from the original Guild Wars.
