Dialogue[]

Introduction
English dialogue
Is someone there?
A customer?
Well, how long has it been.
If talked to again
Something else?
Returning after reloading the area
Well, there you are again.
Divorce from one's trade does not come easily.
If attacked
Agh!
Stop this at once.
And I will forgive you.
If turned hostile
You'd come this far for your pillaging?
No different than a plague, your kind.
If the player is killed
I've heard enough from you. Be gone.
Death
All that I wanted was solitude…

These merchants once thrived as the Great Caravan, but after being accused of heretical beliefs, their entire clan was rounded up and buried alive far underground. Then, they chanted a curse of despair, and summoned the flame of frenzy."
