## Dialogue

### Offer your help to Aphra

* Aphra: I can't wait to find this famous “cave of knowledge” and what it contains. I could probably go alone, but just think about what you could learn, and not only about yourself. Don’t you want to understand where your face markings come from?
	+ **Do it now**
		- De Sardet: You're right, Aphra. I will accompany you.
		- Aphra: Thank you, De Sardet. Let’s return to Dunncas’ village. Our new friends will surely be able to tell us more about this cave.
	+ **Postpone**
		- De Sardet:

### Question the young people about the cave of knowledge

* Yewan: We are happy to see you again! You will always be welcomed as friends here.
* Aphra: Thank you. I’m glad to see you too, but we came to ask you something.
* Morian: Of course. What do you want?
* Aphra: When we participated in the…Dunncas meditation, he spoke of a cave of knowledge that you had to go to.
* Yewan: And you want to see it? You still wish to learn how we become bound? It is a very sacred place. Only those who will become *doneigada* may enter there.
* Morian: That’s right, Yewan, but they saved my life.
* Yewan: If someone finds out that we have helped the *renaígse* to enter a sacred place, they will refuse to bind me.
* Morian: Dunncas will never do such a thing. What needs to be done will happen, no matter what!
* Yewan: You’re probably right.
* Morian: Look for the entrance in Vedhadgenedu. Entering there will not be easy. But you will have to discover the rest by yourself, like true apprentices.
* Aphra: Thank you, Morian. And fear not: no one will ever learn what you have entrusted us with.

### Examine the altar

* Aphra: At last, we made it here.
* De Sardet: How do we get in?
* Aphra: Look around, there has to be a way.

* *(If In Pursuit of the Tierna Harh Cadachtas has been completed)*
* De Sardet: This stone and this door remind me of the place where the *tierna harh cadachtas* went into hiding.
* Aphra: You’re right, we’ll probably have to use a seed here as well.
* De Sardet: But we don’t know which.

* *(If In Pursuit of the Tierna Harh Cadachtas has **not*** *been completed)*
* De Sardet: This stone… There’s a slot at the top, probably to put something in.
* Aphra: The natives’ beliefs are based on exchanges. If we want this door to open, I imagine that we will have to make an offering.
* De Sardet: Now we have to find out what we should offer.

### Find a seed to open the passage

* Brigand: If this savage spoke the truth, we’ll be rich soon! I don’t like the thought of staying here too long though, in case our corpse’s cousins turn up… But we need to find a way to force this bloody root door!

* Aphra: Here is my offering to the cave of knowledge.

### Explore the cave of knowledge

* De Sardet: It seems like this painting depicts some kind of ritual.
* Aphra: Yes, the character at the center is pouring blood on a stone, and one of these giant creatures that the natives called *Nádaigs* is present.
* De Sardet: The location looks like the stone circle where we met the two young natives.

* De Sardet: The character has changed. He now resembles an *on ol menawí*.
* Aphra: You’re right, they even depict his bond to the forest.

### Hide in an elevated place

* Aphra: Someone’s coming! Let’s hide. If anyone finds us here, we’re sure to lose the trust of the islanders.

### Spy on the young people

* *Yewan: Es co halen! Es co valg me da gengu sa lergem an ta debem a vinundhanom.*
* *Morian: Mach es voglendaiga ní dau, a yígídámes e tír comolei.*
* *Yewan: Cair to, Morian. Ag es radei da rádidaw em target began.*
* *Morian: Coudend neis greda comolei, nás ol targu to. Vregd e dedmád ad vad! A bud an ta dabem me en e cergam. No a da holeg!*
