Ryne 	Our only path forward lies ahead─I'm sure of it. So...onward, I suppose!
 	
Urianger 	Sound though Alisaie's logic was, I fear that other perils awaiteth upon this road less traveled.
 	
Thancred 	I take it you're seeing what I'm seeing?
Thancred 	Finding a village when we're hardly ten paces into the hills is a surprising stroke of luck─especially given our recent fortunes─but you won't hear any complaints from me. Let's see if the folk who live here can tell us what to expect from the road ahead.
 	
Zhun Zun 	You sell? No... No, you are no merchant. But then, why do I know your face? Hm...
Zhun Zun 	Oh, I remember! You spent Voeburt gold!
Zhun Zun 	Such a coinpurse cracking! You are already a legend among Mord traders!
Thancred 	You're a traveling merchant, then. Can you tell us anything of this village?
Zhun Zun 	Of course, anything for valued customers!
Zhun Zun 	This place is Garik. Before the Flood, it was home to many miners. After, not so many. Now, none.
Zhun Zun 	So Master Ghen Gen borrowed the village─made it into a trading post. Very convenient location!
Ryne 	In which case, you all must be familiar with the local roads, correct?
Ryne 	We're on our way to Nabaath Areng, ourselves. If we continue south from here, will we have any difficulties reaching it?
Zhun Zun 	Oh, yes! Great difficulty...
Zhun Zun 	The Flood rent the stone and crushed the mines surrounding Nabaath Areng. Only steep cliffs and collapsed tunnels remain.
Ryne 	Oh, no...
Ryne 	But surely there must be some way. Do you think any of the other Mord might have some sort of hidden route?
Zhun Zun 	Perhaps. You ask, they tell. Tell for free, even, to friends of our best customer.
Ryne 	Wonderful! Thank you for your help.
Thancred 	Well then, “best customer,” let's see what information your reputation buys us.
 	
Thancred 	If we're not lucky enough to encounter anyone who knows a route to Nabaath Areng here, perhaps they can at least point us in the direction of others who might.
 	
Ryne 	I've got it! I'll lead by asking how business is, then mention you, and then ask about the route. That...should work, right?
 	
Urianger 	Perhaps we ought to inquire upon the matter of Eulmoran forces in the region, as well.
 	
Zhun Zun 	Remember Zhun Zun next time your pockets grow heavy with coin, yes?
 	
Rhil Ril 	You wish to go to Nabaath Areng? Hm...
Rhil Ril 	There was a way, once. A gondola down from the cliffs. But it was built for those who had left something behind that they wished to retrieve. Now there is nothing left, and no one to use it.
Rhil Ril 	You may search for it, if you like. But I doubt that its rusted wires would bear your weight.
Rhil Ril 	Do try not to end up dangling upside down over a cliff.
Shul Sul 	Oh, that is a surprise! Not many bound for Nabaath Areng these days.
Shul Sul 	I do know of a trolley that once went there─it used to travel between all the settlements and mines of the Hills of Amber.
Shul Sul 	It is locked behind a gate, however. I assume that will have kept it from being stolen or damaged, but it also prevents it from being of much use.
Shul Sul 	If you want to use the trolley, you will need to do something about that gate.
Ghon Gon 	For Nabaath Areng, airship is best. Nothing is faster than an airship!
Ghon Gon 	The Eulmorans have one, I hear. You can ask them to take you!
Ghon Gon 	You must find your own airship, if the Eulmorans will not help you.
 	
Thancred 	Ah, [Player Name]. I'm afraid I've learned little of use about how to reach Nabaath Areng. The Eulmoran presence, though─that's another matter.
Thancred 	Apparently, though their army is definitely in Amh Araeng, there have been no sightings of Eulmorans at all in the Hills of Amber. Perhaps we can take that as a sign that Alisaie's plan has borne fruit.
Thancred 	Did you have any better luck finding us a route forward?
Thancred 	So these are our options... Well, what do you think?
Thancred 	I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you. If it went poorly, we couldn't simply wave our hands and vanish into the aether like Y'shtola─not that I would recommend it, even if we could.
Thancred 	Hmm... We could perhaps use amaro, but even from a distance, I can't imagine that the Eulmoran Army wouldn't spot us if we were to travel by air.
Thancred 	It does seem to be the least risky of our options, and I can't imagine one gate is enough to thwart you.
Thancred 	I'd like to know a bit more before we dash off in search of it, though. Perhaps Zhun Zun can offer some insight.
