(1)
* **Player**: *Tell me about you, Deady.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Deadward Strigospat. Lycelle is my mother.*
* **Player**: *As in* mother *mother or the one who bit you? i'm not clear on the lore.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *My actual mother. For the most part, vampires in this place are born, not created.*
* **Player**: *So it's about nepotism.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *I don't know what you mean.*
* **Player**: *Oh, just thinking out loud, Deadward. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it.*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward's eye widen and being to sparkle*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *You think i'm pretty?*
* **Narrator**: *1. Who are you? 2. How you and Swella meet? 3. What is it about her? 4. [Ask about the key]*

(2)
* **Player**: *How'd the two of you meet? i understand vampires live a long time.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *We met just yesterday. The greatest day of my life.*
* **Player**: *Ah. Who's holding the shotgun?*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward glowers.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *There is no shotgun, adventurer. Ours is a love i never thought possible.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Swella arrived from across the ocean on one of my family's blood vessels.*
* **Player**: *Come again?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Strigospat Inc. transports blood across the ocean, but we take on passengers, sometimes.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *We harvest grade-A, premium blood and bring it to market in Ye Olde Continente. No preservatives or artificial antibodies!*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *(They like it for seasoning over there. You wouldn't believe what they'll pay to have something other than salt.)*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Anyway. My sweet Swella arrived like a surprise embolism. If there were any blood in me, it would have all gone to my face.*
* **Narrator**: *1. Who are you? 2. How you and Swella meet? 3. What is it about her? 4. [Ask about the key]*

(3)
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *How do i describe her?*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward casts his eyes toward the sky, which at the moment is obstruced by a grey ceiling.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Swella Vein is my life----lamb to my lion, heroin to my forearm.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *If i could dream it would be only of her.*
* **Player**: *A little contrived, but I get it.*
* **Narrator**: *1. Who are you? 2. How you and Swella meet? 3. What is it about her? 4. [Ask about the key]*

(4)
* **Player**: *Swella said you've got a key for me? She asked me to check on your werewolf.*
* **Narrator**: *For a brief moment, the vampire really does appear flushed.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *My werewolf?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Yes right. Someone need to check on Slaycub. I've been too swamped here with paperwork to do it myself.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *His cage is beneath the ghost town north of Mauverose. You'll need this key to get through the trapdoor.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *And since you're doing us a favour, I'll give you this token, too. It'll let you use the Mauverose Funicular. That should speed up your trip a little.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *The funicular recognizes the hand that paid it so you'll be able to use it indefinitely when you're done. Consider it a thank-you for helping us.*
* **Player**: *Thanks, Deadward. That's pretty cool of you.*
* *(Conversation Ends, Player gets Funicular Token and Werewolf Cage Key)*

After getting Slaycub's Amulet
* **Player**: *Hi Deadward.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Adventurer, you've returned. How was my werewolf doing?*
* **Player**: *He's doing well, Deady. I think he misses you.*
* **Player**: *And he asked me to give you this.*
* **Narrator**: *You hold out the amulet. Deadward takes it with puzzled look.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *You... said it's from Slaycub? He made this for me?*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward turns it over in his hands, running his fingers over the rough edges. Then he brings it to his nose and smiles.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *It's beautiful.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *But what about Swella?*
* **Player**: *Swella's a leasbian ghost you conjured with your diary. Believe me, she'll be happy for you.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *That makes sense.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *And what about my mother?*
* **Player**: *What* about *your mother, Deady? The love of your life just proposed to you. You're going to let her stand in the way?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *No, of course not.*
* **Player**: *Then you and your mother are going to have a long-overdue conversation. Right?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Right.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Deadwards lets out a long exhale and smiles.*
* **Player**: *It's going to work out, Deadward. I know it will*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Thanks, adventurer. If you don't mind, could you bring this key to Slaycub?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Tell him I'm sorry and I'll be there soon. As soon as I'm done with these reports.*
* *(Conversation Ends, Player gets Slaycub's Shackle Key)*
