| DLC04ObaBlackHall00TopLvl
|
Tell me about Blackhall Manor.
|
Neutral 50
|
I don't suppose there's any harm indulging you. What interests you? {Elderly - Player has appealed to his vanity}
|
1
|
| DLC04ObaBlackHallArchitecture
|
How old is this place?
|
Neutral 50
|
Hundreds of years, and still standing strong. You're within a fine example of Victorian architecture, my friend.
|
2
|
| DLC04ObaBlackHallFamily
|
Your family is named after this place?
|
Neutral 50
|
Just as much as it's named after us, I suppose. We took the Blackhall name when we arrived on these shores, generations before the Great War. {elderly, preachy.}
|
3
|
| Neutral 50
|
We do well to remember history, particularly in this dark time. {elderly. preachy.}
|
4
|
| DLC04ObaCellarQuery01
|
I usually hide my bodies in the river, but this is nice, too.
|
Neutral 50
|
We are nothing alike. More so than you could ever comprehend. Go now, and never return.
|
5
|
| DLC04ObaCellarQuery02
|
I thought this occult nonsense was below you.
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't play at what you misunderstand, troglodyte. Get out.
|
6
|
| DLC04ObaCellarQuery03
|
Shouldn't be here. Roger that, I'm out of here.
|
Anger 50
|
So leave, then. {elderly, dismissive}
|

|
| DLC04ObadiahBookReply01
|
The Krvibi had it, I took it, and now she's dead.
|
Fear 50
|
You have it? God help us; you do. That damned book is back, and this time it'll be the death of me.
|
8
|
| DLC04ObadiahBookReply02
|
<Show him the Book.>
|
Fear 50
|
I'll be bloody well damned. She was right. It's back.
|
9
|
| DLC04ObadiahBookReply03
|
I'm sorry, Obadiah, but it's true. The book is here, with me.
|
Pained 50
|
I... I see. Friend, this book is the bane of my Family. Now it seems it will be the death of us, too.
|
10
|
| DLC04ObadiahDestroyBook01
|
There must be something we can do. We have the book.
|
Pained 50
|
I fear the Blackhalls are lost. The only thing left to do is to destroy this evil book, and spare the world further harm.
|
11
|
| Sad 50
|
I've got to do what Constance should have done in the first place. There's a way to destroy the damned thing, though I will not survive it.
|
12
|
| DLC04ObadiahDestroyBook01a
|
Wait, what? You're going to kill yourself?
|
Neutral 50
|
I... I can't explain it, but I know what I must do. I'm the last Blackhall.
|
13
|
| DLC04ObadiahDestroyBook02
|
That can't be the only way to destroy it.
|
Neutral 50
|
There is... another option. I could never make the journey myself, though. North, far to the north. {almost speaking to himself. Thinking out loud.}
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
Constance had a brother, Richard Dunwich. He was a wealthy businessman outside of the city to the north, had a company building there.
|
15
|
| Neutral 50
|
His obsession with the occult was as great as her own, and there's an object of great evil in that building. The book has been drawn to it before.
|
16
|
| Neutral 50
|
To take the book there would destroy it. You would have to take that journey, though, and you must not fail if you attempt it.
|
17
|
| DLC04ObadiahEvilBookMarcellaDead
|
They killed her, Obadiah. I'm sorry.
|
Surprise 50
|
Marcella? Why? She's done nothing to them!
|
18
|
| Marcella said something about the Krivbeknih. I'm supposed to go look for it.
|
Neutral 50
|
I see. Do what Marcella asks, and pray she's wrong about this.
|
19
|
| I haven't seen her yet.
|
Anger 50
|
What good are you, then? Take her that letter; she's the only person who might know how to help me.
|
20
|
| DLC04ObadiahEvilBookn01
|
She asked me to steal the Krivbeknih. When I returned, she was dead.
|
Surprise 50
|
Impossible! That book's been lost to us for generations. You two must have been mistaken.
|
21
|
| DLC04ObadiahEvilBookn02
|
They may have killed her twice. It was pretty messy.
|
Neutral 50
|
Spare me the details, you goon.
|
22
|
| DLC04ObadiahExplainSacrifice
|
What are you talking about?
|
Neutral 50
|
This isn't some ordinary book we can toss in a fire and be done with. I can destroy it here and now, but the ritual requires a sacrifice.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
They'll kill me anyway. Now that they've possessed the book, they'll do anything to get it back.
|
24
|
| DLC04ObadiahRitualAccept
|
I'll do it, Obadiah. There's no reason for you to die.
|
Surprise 50
|
My friend! This is a truly noble thing you do. You mustn't fail, that book brings nothing but misery and madness to the world.
|
25
|
| DLC04ObadiahRitualRefuse
|
I'm sorry, I think you have to do this on your own.
|
Pained 50
|
Yes, yes. You're right, of course. I... I guess I should begin right away.
|
26
|
| DLC04ObaFolk00Toplvl
|
You really seem to hate the swampfolk.
|
Neutral 50
|
I suppose larceny isn't enough reason to hate?
|
27
|
| DLC04ObaFolk01
|
Are they dangerous?
|
Neutral 50
|
You must be new here if you don't know the answer to that by now. {elderly. Sarcastic}
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
Yes, they're dangerous. They shoot at, smash or try to eat anything that isn't them, and half the time they shoot at each other.
|
29
|
| Neutral 50
|
They may have been men once, but no more. {elderly. Disapproving}
|
30
|
| DLC04ObaFolk02
|
Do you mean those people living in the old Cathedral?
|
Disgust 50
|
No, not them. That lot wants for brains, but they're at least somewhat civilized. The swampfolk have no creed, no morals.
|
31
|
| DLC04ObaFolk03
|
Why did they take your book?
|
Neutral 50
|
They think the book has a kind of occult power. Superstition and nonsense, of course.
|
32
|
| DLC04ObaIntroA01
|
The house looked abandoned, I just wandered in.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, Blackhall Manor isn't abandoned; not yet. At least have the grace to come speak with her owner properly.
|
33
|
| DLC04ObaIntroA02
|
I was just admiring the architecture. I didn't mean any offense.
|
Surprise 50
|
You're in Blackhall Manor. This isn't a tourist attraction, but I appreciate your good taste. Come, let's talk.
|
34
|
| DLC04ObaIntroA03
|
Nice curtains. Could you try not to bleed on them when I kill you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Tough, are you? Good, I might have use for that. Come, let's talk.
|
35
|
| DLC04ObaIntroB01
|
I couldn't agree more.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'm glad you think so. Conversation is but one of the virtues that separates us from cretins like those swampfolk.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
Swampfolk who, I should mention, absconded with a book, a precious family heirloom. I wanted to ask you, friend; will you get it back?
|
37
|
| DLC04ObaIntroB02
|
Not really, I usually bludgeon first and ask questions never.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ha! Spoken like a true roughneck. That's good. I could use a person of mettle like yourself. You see, a family heirloom of mine has been stolen.
|
38
|
| Neutral 50
|
This heirloom - a book - has been stolen by those swampfolk cretins. Smash some heads, bring it back, get paid. What do you say?
|
39
|
| DLC04ObaKrivGiveBook
|
You have the caps, you get the book.
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, yes, of course. Here's your errand fee. Now, give it to me!
|
40
|
| DLC04ObaKrivKeepBook
|
I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet.
|
Neutral 50
|
Surely you're not considering giving it to Marcella? Come now, the woman can't rub two caps together. Give it to me and be paid.
|
41
|
| I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet.
|
Neutral 50
|
There's no reason in your keeping that book - my book! Talk to me again when you've come to your senses.
|
42
|
| DLC04ObaMarcellaDied01
|
Marcella's dead, actually. I figured you had something to do with that.
|
Surprise 50
|
Can't say that I did, but that's all the more reason you should give the book to me. {elderly. surprised but not remorseful}
|
43
|
| DLC04ObaMarcellaDied02
|
Marcella's dead, you callous prick.
|
Neutral 50
|
Forgive my indiscretion. Still, with her death I see no reason for you to keep hold of that book. For all you know, the same fate may befall you.
|
44
|
| DLC04ObaMarcellaTopic
|
A woman named Marcella told me to bring her the book.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ah, Marcella. A religious fanatic in her own right. Don't believe anything the woman says; her mind is as addled as those inbred swampfolk.
|
45
|
| DLC04ObaQuest00TopLvl
|
So, you wanted help getting your book back?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yes, a task for which I think you'll be superlatively qualified. Do you accept?
|
46
|
| What should I be doing?
|
Neutral 50
|
Don't be daft. You agreed to retrieve my book. With more haste than this, I would have thought.
|
47
|
| Neutral 50
|
You need to head for the ritual site east of the boardwalk, and expect a fight. {elderly, pushy.}
|
48
|
| DLC04ObaQuestAccept
|
Okay. I'll get your book.
|
Neutral 50
|
Good. The fools who stole it believe it has powers, so the thing is probably well-guarded.
|
49
|
| Neutral 50
|
There's a ritual site east of the boardwalk, in the basement of a ruined house. I think you'll find it there. Bring it back to me, and be paid.
|
50
|
| DLC04ObaQuestReject
|
Not interested.
|
Neutral 50
|
The offer stands for now, though I won't abstain from soliciting other help.
|
51
|
| DLC04ObaQuestWhatPayment
|
What do I get in the bargain?
|
Neutral 50
|
Cash, plain and simple. Return with the book and I'll pay you a thousand caps. No questions asked.
|
52
|
| DLC04TalkSomethingElse
|
Let's talk about something else.
|
Neutral 50
|
What else do you want to discuss?
|
53
|
| GREETING
|
|
Anger 50
|
You shouldn't be here. Get out of my home. {elderly. Seriously angry.}
|
54
|
|
|
Disgust 50
|
You were paid for your errand. Leave my home. Now.
|
55
|
|
|
Anger 50
|
Keep your distance. What are you doing in my house?
|
56
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Good, good. People should be able to sit and have a conversation, especially in times like these. {elderly, attempting to manipulate player}
|
57
|
| Neutral 50
|
Civil discourse; the greatest of our lost arts. Wouldn't you agree?
|
58
|
|
|
Surprise 50
|
The book. You've found it. Quickly, give it to me.
|
59
|
|
|
Surprise 50
|
We had a bargain, roughneck. Hand the book over and collect your fee.
|
60
|
|
|
Disgust 50
|
Shouldn't you be halfway to the ritual site by now? {elderly, a little annoyed.}
|
61
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Well, what can I do for you now? {elderly, a bit impatient}
|
62
|
|
|
Neutral 50
|
Have you seen Marcella? What did she have to say?
|
63
|
