## Dialogue

Previous: "Woop Woop Workaround"
(*Talking to Krokodile Dundara in Hope Springs*)

 **Krokodile Dundara:** Adventurers and seekers like us can't be penned in by permits. But no wozzas.
 **Krokodile Dundara:** You've just found the leading purveyor of genuine, authentic, unlicensed Outback expeditions: Krokodile Dundara!
 **Krokodile Dundara:** I know a way out the Judges don't have their eyes on. But the Outback has some nasty surprises for those who stumble around unprepared.
 **Krokodile Dundara:** My old Drover mentor used to say, "Off-the-cuff, gonna be rough. Packed and ready, nice and steady." Saved my life more times than I can tell you.
 **Krokodile Dundara:** Better drop by a few local shops for provisions first. Here's a list. Make sure to tip. Then meet me back here.
(*After approaching Outback Stakehouse in Hope Springs*)

 **Edie:** Help! Bandits are robbing our stores! They're tearing through here like a herd of wombats! They're looting my shop right now!
(*After entering Outback Stakehouse in Hope Springs*)

 **Dingo Bandit (A):** Oh, they'll whine about it. But a Dingo's gotta do what a Dingo's gotta do.
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** We need it, we take it! Who's gonna stop us? Wait, is that Wizard here to stop us?
(*After defeating the Dingo Bandits in Outback Stakehouse*)

 **Dingo Bandit (A):** You just made an enemy of the Collie Family. Now that's the kinda mistake that'll follow you, mate.
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** If youse ever cross paths with us again, you'll be in a heap of trouble!
 **Edie:** You saved my store! Whatever supplies you need are yours, as a token of my gratitude.
 **Edie:** But wait! You have to help my friend, the Grocer across the street. Those Collie criminals are emptying his shelves!
(*After entering Herb's Food-n-Stuff in Hope Springs*)

 **Herb:** These ruffians are running around taking whatever they want! Stop 'em!
(*After defeating the Dingo Bandits in Herb's Food-n-Stuff*)

 **Dingo Bandit (C):** A regular Dingo is dangerous. A hungry Dingo is deadly. Remember that, Wizard.
 **Herb:** Thank goodness you arrived when you did. Please take any provisions you need as a small gesture of thanks.
 **Herb:** Normally, the Judges would prevent this type of theft, but fending off the rogues outside the gate has kept them from their normal patrols.
 **Herb:** Food taken by the hungry is one thing, but those outlaws are also helping themselves to more weapons! That can't be good.
(*After entering Bing Bang Boomerang in Hope Springs*)

 **Matilda Collie:** A do-gooder come to stop our little shopping excursion? I think you'll find any associate of Ned Collie is more than you can handle, mate.
 **Dingo Bandit (D):** I wouldn't get in our way if I were you. People who do are liable to get muzzed up!
 **Matilda Collie:** We're gonna waltz right outta here with whatever we want and there's nothing you can do about it.
(*Cheat lines during combat with Matilda Collie*)

 **Matilda Collie:** Money does buy healthiness!
(*After defeating Matilda Collie in Bing Bang Boomerang*)

 **Dingo Bandit (D):** All you've done is put a target on your back, Wizard!
 **Matilda Collie:** If the rumors are true, we won't be the only ones looking to settle a score. Watch your back, kid. Everyone's out to get you.
(*Returning to Krokodila Dundara in Hope Springs*)

 **Krokodile Dundara:** Good on ya! No question you're made of stern enough stuff for a rugged Outback adventure. Thanks to you, we have the supplies we need.
