## Dialogue

Previous: "Wallaru Magic"
(*Talking to Zander in the Arcanum's Hall of Theurgy*)

 **Zander:** Drop Bears, Wizard. Bears that drop out of the sky and feed on the unwary. It's actually a bit of a misnomer.
 **Zander:** They're usually represented as koalas, which aren't bears. And they don't always drop so much as breathe fire. Folklore gets fuzzy around the details.
 **Zander:** But folklore is the basis for all the best Myth Spells. Tinged with a bit of fiery truth and you should have something quite potent.
 **Zander:** First, we'll need the "Tales of Old," written compendiums of Wallaru's history and mythology. You can get a copy in a Hope Springs gift shop.
 **Zander:** Then we'll need Fire. But not just any fire, fires that burn where fires should not. The living Forgefires of Grizzleheim should do.
(*After searching for the Tales of Old in Hope Springs, Wallaru*)

 **Gift Shop Owner:** Help! Help! Bandits have stolen all the "Tales of Old" and run down that Alley. Someone has to catch them!
 **Gift Shop Owner:** I don't need them back - in fact, I'm going on lunch - it's just the principle of the thing!
(*After entering the Bandit Alley in Hope Springs*)

 **Dingo Bandit (A):** Why'd we take books? We can't eat books.
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** Well, we can. They're just not very tasty. But there wasn't any real food or money, so I grabbed the most important-looking thing.
 **Dingo Bandit (A):** This is why we plan heists, right? I keep telling you this. You can't just run in, boomerangs a-swaying, and wing it.
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** It's called crimes of opportunity. Like, take this tourist here. I didn't plan to rob them.
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** But the opportunity presents itself, so I'm going to do it.
(*After defeating the Dingo Bandits*)

 **Dingo Bandit (A):** Now what did THIS experience teach us?
 **Dingo Bandit (B):** To plan better crimes.
 **Dingo Bandit (A):** That's right. Scheme work makes the dream work. Might as well let the Wizard take one of the "Tales of Old." Ain't going to do us any good.
(*After searching for the Living Forgefires in Northguard, Grizzleheim*)

 **Alexander Scarguard:** Hold, stranger! What do you seek here? Forgefire? Ha! How can one so small and furless tame the Living Flames?
 **Alexander Scarguard:** Yes, tiny one, the Forgefires of Grizzleheim are alive. They must be captured and tamed like beasts of burden.
 **Alexander Scarguard:** Such a task takes years. But if you seek to amuse me with follies and antics, I will permit you to try.
 **Alexander Scarguard:** Travel to the Forgefire Caves in the Ravenscar to find the creature you seek. Return here when you are done, I will tend to your burns.
(*After entering the Forgefire Cave in Ravenscar*)

 **Forgefire Elemental:** \*ROAR\*
(*After defeating the Forgefire Elemental*)

 **Forgefire Elemental:** \*Sizzle\*
(*Talking to Alexander Scarguard again in Northguard*)

 **Alexander Scarguard:** Ha! You return and are not aflame! You fared better than I expected.
 **Alexander Scarguard:** What is this? You harvested a single Ember from the Living Forgefires. To what end?
 **Alexander Scarguard:** I see. Well then, take your prize. It was well-earned.
(*Talking to Zander in the Arcanum's Hall of Theurgy*)

 **Zander:** I sense you've brought back the Ember of Living Fire and the Tales of Old Wallaru. Just what I need to craft your Drop Bear spell.
 **Zander:** And just like that, legend becomes truth, words become fire. And you have a bear that isn't a bear that falls in a scary fashion. Well done.
