Help! Attack! What? Who? Er... oh... um... you don't look like... nevermind. Hello <sir/madam>.
reply #61 (if nw_d2_intn)
You seem rather nervous. What's your name?
entry #30
My name is Jax. Professor Jax, a famous archeologist don't you know. I am looking for knowledge about some ancient creatures. That's why I came here. Who are you?
reply #70 (if nw_d2_intn)
I am <FirstName>. What creatures are you talking about?
entry #34
I am talking about a creator race. Very fascinating actually. I believe they lived thousands of years ago and I think one of their ruins lies somewhere around here.
reply #72 (if nw_d2_intn)
So you are looking for dead things?
entry #61 (if nw_d2_j_arti09)
You know what I'm looking for! We already talked about this. All right, I'll go over the important parts again.

If I could get my hands on a book that proves these ruins were built by the creator race, then I could get the rest of my grant money. I need to find a Complete History of the Ruins.
reply #121 (if nw_d2_intn)
Grant money? Is that what you are worried about?
entry #60
No, no, no! The money is necessary to keep funding my research.

The money goes to pay for guards, supplies and equipment, as well as the expertise of other researchers. Without that money, I cannot learn more.

Oh my <lord/lady>, that would be wonderful. And since I need this for my own financial gain, I would pay you 500 gold pieces and you can keep any treasure you find. Here is a key for the barracks. You can talk to my colleagues inside for more information.
reply #114 (if nw_d2_intn)
That would be just fine.
entry #56 → m2q2a06jaxelc1
Just find me a tome that proves the creator race existed and that they built these ruins. Bring it back to me as quickly as you can.

You see, some fellow archeologists and I were hunting through the cave systems in the area to find an entrance to some ruins that lie beneath them. It was a marvelous expedition, or so it seemed.

entry #37
I figured there should be lots of treasure and tomes created by this race. But then we were attacked by the trolls and ogres.
reply #78 (if nw_d2_intn)
Trolls? Ogres? Tell me more about them.
entry #39
I was studying a rock formation in one of the caves when they attacked us. We had some guards with us and they were holding the ogres off, but the trolls killed them as easily as children.
reply #83 (if nw_d2_intn)
What did you do then?
entry #41
We ran for our lives. The guards gave us enough time for a few of us to get away. But not enough. Not nearly enough.
reply #87 (if nw_d2_intn)
I'm sorry for your grief.
entry #42
All that death has come to nothing! So many sacrifices and we still don't have the proof I need about the creator race.
reply #89 (if nw_d2_intn)
Tell me more about this creator race.
entry #43
Not too much is known about them. They were very powerful and it is speculated that they fought for control of Toril against the dragons.
reply #94 (if nw_d2_intn)
When did they fight dragons?
entry #45
This happened over 10,000 years ago. Even before the first human civilization of the Netheril came into power.
reply #95

entry #46
They used powerful spells, creating magical effects and items that can only be dreamed of now that the gods have limited its use.
reply #97 (if nw_d2_intn)
What kind of treasure are you suggesting?
entry #47
Er... well, if they were powerful enough to contend with dragons, as I think they were, then they must have had some powerful magic items. Not to mention wealth. The trolls might have some treasure too.
reply #99 (if nw_d2_intn)
And you think you can prove this race existed?

entry #10
Er... yes, well, goodbye again.
entry #11 → nw_d1_j_artidone
Er... um... oh, yes! Astounding! How did you get past the trolls? No, it is of no import. What matters is you have it now.
entry #12
Well, excellent job young <lad/lass>. So... I trust 500 gold pieces is ample reward for recovering this book?
entry #13
No! It is of no value to you, but I simply must have it. Please!
entry #14 → nw_d1_j_arti500
Wonderful. I can hardly wait to get back to Waterdeep. Those snobs are going to choke when they see this! Good luck <lad/lass>.
entry #15
Oh my, you must have had a rough time. No need to get jumpy. Here is 750 gp. It's all that I have left.
entry #16
<StartCheck>[Failure]</Start> 500 gold pieces is all I can afford right now. You wouldn't break an agreement, would you?
entry #17
<StartCheck>[Success]</Start> Oh my. Well, I guess it was probably very tough. I hope that 750 gold will cover it. That's all I have left.
entry #18
Wait! Please, my <lord/lady>! 1000 gp, no more!
entry #19
Oh... er... why did you even come back here then, if you were going to keep it?
entry #20 → nw_d1_j_artixp50
No one will pay you more than I would have, because no one wants it as badly. What a mistake! Fine, goodbye.
entry #21 → nw_d1_j_arti1000
Part of me wishes the trolls got you. Oh my, I can't believe I said that. I've got to get back to civilization.
entry #22 → nw_d1_j_arti750
Er... good. I must return to Waterdeep now. Good luck to you.
entry #23
Oh dear, your memory is shorter than mine! As I said before, I am looking for an ancient tome I need. So far I have had little luck.
entry #24
Oh, hello there again. Er... something you needed? I am quite busy with my research, you know.
entry #25
Oh. I wouldn't expect someone of your limited... uh... that is, it's always pleasant to see someone interested in my research! Let me tell you about it.
entry #26 → m2q2atjax01
Help! Attack! What? Who? Er... oh... um... you don't look like... nevermind. Hello <sir/madam>.
entry #27
Actually you kind of talk like them though.
entry #28
Er... trolls of course. Like the ones that attacked my expedition.
entry #29
Trolls attacked a group of us in a cave to the north. We were there searching for an entrance to... ah but maybe I should start with an introduction.
entry #30
My name is Jax. Professor Jax, a famous archeologist don't you know. I am looking for knowledge about some ancient creatures. That's why I came here. Who are you?
entry #31
Oh, I'm not actually hunting them, dear <boy/girl>. They are already dead.
entry #32
Oh... oh my, that hardly seems to be a polite way to start a conversation. Are you sure you're not a troll? I suppose not.
entry #33
Oh, a fellow scholar are you? Let me tell you about my research.
entry #34
I am talking about a creator race. Very fascinating actually. I believe they lived thousands of years ago and I think one of their ruins lies somewhere around here.
entry #35
No, no, no, I am looking for proof of the existence of this race.
entry #36
You see, some fellow archeologists and I were hunting through the cave systems in the area to find an entrance to some ruins that lie beneath them. It was a marvelous expedition, or so it seemed.
entry #37
I figured there should be lots of treasure and tomes created by this race. But then we were attacked by the trolls and ogres.
entry #38
Oh. That's too bad. If you change your mind, just speak to me again.
entry #39
I was studying a rock formation in one of the caves when they attacked us. We had some guards with us and they were holding the ogres off, but the trolls killed them as easily as children.
entry #40
We hired what we could afford. And we paid for our mistake.
entry #41
We ran for our lives. The guards gave us enough time for a few of us to get away. But not enough. Not nearly enough.
entry #42
All that death has come to nothing! So many sacrifices and we still don't have the proof I need about the creator race.
entry #43
Not too much is known about them. They were very powerful and it is speculated that they fought for control of Toril against the dragons.
entry #44
You sound like the supposed 'scholars' in Waterdeep. Always sneering in disbelief.
entry #45
This happened over 10,000 years ago. Even before the first human civilization of the Netheril came into power.
entry #46
They used powerful spells, creating magical effects and items that can only be dreamed of now that the gods have limited its use.
entry #47
Er... well, if they were powerful enough to contend with dragons, as I think they were, then they must have had some powerful magic items. Not to mention wealth. The trolls might have some treasure too.
entry #48
If they were as advanced as I think they were then they should have left behind some writings.
entry #49 → nw_d1_j_arti13
If I could get my hands on a book that proves these ruins were built by the creator race, then I could get the rest of my grant money. I need to find a Complete History of the Ruins.
entry #50
The money goes to pay for guards, supplies and equipment, as well as the expertise of other researchers. Without that money, I cannot learn more.
entry #51
That is why it is so important that I find this proof.
entry #52
Oh my. I was really hoping you could help. If you change your mind come talk to me again.
entry #53 → m2q2a_givekey
I suppose I don't have much choice, since no one else will go do it. I can pay you 500 gold pieces if you find it for me. Here is a key for the barracks. You can talk to my colleagues inside for more information.
entry #54 → m2q2a_givekey
Hmm. Well I guess I do need the help. I could pay you 500 gold pieces if you bring it to me. Here is a key for the barracks. You can talk to my colleagues inside for more information.
entry #55 → m2q2a_givekey
Oh my <lord/lady>, that would be wonderful. And since I need this for my own financial gain, I would pay you 500 gold pieces and you can keep any treasure you find. Here is a key for the barracks. You can talk to my colleagues inside for more information.
entry #56 → m2q2a06jaxelc1
Just find me a tome that proves the creator race existed and that they built these ruins. Bring it back to me as quickly as you can.
entry #57
<StartCheck>[Failure]</Start> I just can't afford to do that. I can only pay you when you bring the artfiact back.
entry #58 → nw_d1_j_adv100gp
<StartCheck>[Success]</Start> That seems reasonable. Here is 100 gp. That should seal the deal.
entry #59
Be careful <lad/lass>. This has turned out to be a very difficult operation. Good luck.
entry #60
No, no, no! The money is necessary to keep funding my research.
entry #61
You know what I'm looking for! We already talked about this. All right, I'll go over the important parts again.

reply #25
I guess I need the 500 gold more than the book.
