Dialogue

Upon reaching the area

<Character name>: Is that a village? All the way out here?

<Character name>: A circus. On the Fire Islands. This definitely merits investigation.

Speaking to Ringmaster Ivy

Ringmaster Ivy: A...a customer! A real customer! Hold on just a minute, I'm not prepared— (throat clearing)

Ringmaster Ivy: Welcome to Ember Bay's one-and-only circus, where you'll witness the grandest marvels Tyria has to offer! Want to buy a ticket?

<Character name>: No time right now. I'm looking for an ancient device, dwarven in make. There's supposed to be one nearby. Do you know it?

Ringmaster Ivy: Searching for antiquity, eh? We've got a piece that may interest you. Not sure it's dwarven, but it sure is old!

Ringmaster Ivy: I might be convinced to let you in free of charge if you give me a hand with my chores... Otherwise, ticketholders only.

<Character name>: Here's my ticket: if you don't grant me access to that machine, the Fire Islands will erupt, taking your circus with it.

Ringmaster Ivy: (nervous laugh) Well! I guess we can overlook protocol for today. Go on in! Behold one of Ember Bay's greatest mysteries!

After activating machine

<Character name>: Only two more machines to find. Next on the list: the caldera.

My story

“ The last thing I expected to find on Fire Island was a traveling circus of castaways. I helped them with their troubles, and in return, they showed me where the second dwarven machine was. I managed to activate it. Two down, two to go. — My story
