Dialogue

Entering the Dragonfall open world map

Gorrik: When you have a moment, Commander, I've got a list of all the data I'll need. Two lists, in fact.

Taimi: But you can't do any of that until we find Gorrik's instruments. The Pact's still… unpacking.

Gorrik: (grumble) In the meantime, I've marked a high point for reconnaissance.

Taimi: Huh! Turns out I can't see everything from this airship.

Contacting Rox

Rox: We're up to our ears in spirits and skeletons, Commander. Holding them off for now, but… oh! My fur's on end.

<Character name>: Sounds dangerous. Want backup? I can send Braham in.

Rox: Mm-mm. ...I've got this.

Contacting Caithe

Caithe: Burning trees as far as the eye can see. And shadow creatures. Except you don't see them. That's worse.

<Character name>: I know it's not easy. Lean on Zaeim. Remember: this is for Aurene.

Caithe: Right.

After Surveying the terrain

Gorrik: All right, Commander. What's it look like up there?

<Character name>: Kralkatorrik's buried—I can't see his head. He's covered with Brandstorms and lightning. Getting close'll be dangerous.

<Character name>: I can see his severed wing from here, too.

Taimi: Wait, really? If we can reach it, then that means...oh...OH.

Gorrik: The Dragonsblood spears were weak because we didn't have his blood. If we did have it...

Taimi: I'll call in a chopper. Someone can fly up and collect some blood. There has to be some way to fuse it with our spears.

Gorrik: Ooh, a challenge! I'm on it.

Taimi: In the meantime, can you meet with my research assistant? We located the crate with Gorrik's instruments.

<Character name>: Research assistant? Okay, just send me the coordinates.

Contacting Sayida the Sly

Sayida the Sly: Commander, we spotted Zafirah to the far southwest. She's picking off Branded by the bushel.

Sayida the Sly: Seems like she can take care of herself, so...

<Character name>: Thanks, Sayida. Is Taimi still with you?

Taimi: Die, Branded scum! Ah hahahaha!

Sayida the Sly: Hasn't left my sight.

Contacting Rox

Rox: The Olmakhan are twitchy, Commander. Can't say I blame ‘em. The Underworld's just…unnatural.

Rox: But say the word, we'll be all over Kralkatorrik.

<Character name>: Thanks. Hold your position for now.

Contacting Rytlock

Rytlock Brimstone: Benevolent nature goddess, my tail. This greenery's trying to eat us alive.

<Character name>: Huh. Well, Melandru and the other gods are gone.

Rytlock Brimstone: You watch your back out there. I've got Logan's.

Upon meeting Braham

<Character name>: Braham! You're Taimi's assistant?

Braham Eirsson: Whatever Taimi needs, I'll get her. I'm supposed to give you these. Good luck, Commander.

Taimi: I feel so assisted right now. Gorrik, tell the commander about what you sent.

Gorrik: The indicator should guide you to a few points of tremendous seismic interest.

Gorrik: Plant the instruments, or B57X seismic taps, and they'll send us data about this terrain. Data the tracker can't give us.

<Character name>: Any reports from the chopper you sent up for the blood?

Taimi: Not yet. We're experiencing some static interference. I'll call if something comes up.

After planting the first seismic tap

<Character name>: Gorrik, I've put the first tap down. Are you getting what you need from it?

Gorrik: I'm seeing the data now. Keep placing those instruments! With enough readings, I'll be able to map the substrata.

After planting the second seismic tap

<Character name>: Second seismic tap in place.

Gorrik: Good, good. Keep going! This is…adding to what we know. Taimi, can you double-check these numbers?

Taimi: Sure thing, but first—Commander? That chopper? It just fell out of the sky.

Taimi: Something around that wing is creating a technological dead zone. We can't get up there.

Gorrik: I doubt it's mechanical. Wonder if it's some sort of organic construct..

Taimi: Figure it out. Aurene's busy with Kralkatorrik, and Sayida and I are providing critical air support.

Taimi: Commander, we need that blood. Can you find a different way up?

<Character name>: Soon as I place this last tap.

After planting the third seismic tap

<Character name>: All taps are down. But something odd's going on. Is that...ley energy?

Taimi: Kralk's impact broke into subsurface ley lines? Oh, no, no, no, no!

Gorrik: Wait, that's why my numbers look like this?

<Character name>: What's ley energy doing here?

Gorrik: Kralkatorrik's absorbing it! He's healing!

Taimi: We need to cut him off from those ley lines. Fast.

<Character name>: If he's healing, Aurene's attacks won't hold him down. We have to get his blood—for our spears.

Taimi: Okay. Gorrik and I will figure out a solution for the ley lines. You should get up to that wing—if you can find a way.

Caithe: Sorry to interrupt. Aurene—she's found something.

Aurene: Caithe, Champion. Come to me.

Caithe: She's in the far south.

<Character name>: Hope everything's all right. See you there.

My story

“ I surveyed the new island from a high point and spotted Kralkatorrik's wing. While Taimi sent a chopper to collect blood from it, I went looking for her research assistant to pick up Gorrik's seismic instruments. I placed three seismic taps around the island to collect data for Gorrik, who hopes to map the interior. At the last location I found wild ley energy—magic that Kralkatorrik can eat to heal! Taimi also reported that the chopper went down due to signal interference from the wing. Then Caithe chimed in: Aurene had found something. — My story
