Scene 87

Elven Guard

The sword... Can it be?

We took care of that guardian. But the truth is—there are other legendary weapons, aren't there?

Elven Guard

The sword has already revealed the path before you.

Elven Guard

My duty is thus fulfilled. Follow the blade's guidance if you wish to claim the next weapon...

..!

Zash

His duty's done? Is that how elves say "peace out"? What do we do now?

Stina

He's a quest NPC, so... it probably just means he played his part.

Zash

Ah... "The rest is up to you, bye!" sorta thing.

Boy

Whoa! Let me take a look at that sword!

Boy

That's the Legendary Weapon Okuvlig Ande, right? Let me see it, pretty please?

Zash

What's up with this kid? Is he a quest NPC too?

Check out his cursor if you're not sure.

Zash

Uh, he doesn't have one.

Oh, you're right...

Stina

He's not a player or a monster...

Boy

I'm Pucci! I'm learning about ancient wars!

He seems like an NPC, but I'm not sure...

Pucci

C'mon, show me the sword!

Zash

What should we do?

Stina

He seems to be related to the quest, so we should probably do what he says...

Pucci

C'mon, I wanna see it!

{HeroName}, It seems we should show the kid the sword.

Right? Could get some kind of hint from him.

But we might stop making progress on the quest if we don't...

Stina

I think so, too...

Zash

Let's do it, then!

Pucci

Wow, thanks!

Pucci

Whoa, it's the real thing!

Pucci

Hey, hey, do you guys know this weapon's story? Like, its legend?

No clue. Got anything you could share?

Pucci

'Course I can!

Pucci

Okuvlig Ande once defeated a dark god! And, and the god had the head of a dog!

Zash

The head of a dog... Like a kobold?

Stina

Maybe something like Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the underworld...

But the weapon's name comes from a different language, right? That's really throwing a lot of things into the mix.

Pucci

Hey, c'mon, let me tell the story!

Zash

Ah, sorry.

Pucci

So! The super powerful dark god fought a huge battle against the swordmaster Neveca. But Neveca just wouldn't back down, and eventually defeated it.

Pucci

That's why it's called "Unyielding Will," or Okuvlig Ande!

Pucci

Thanks for hearing me out! I've got something for you!

Pucci

If you find more legendary weapons, you should come show them to me!

Zash

What was his deal? Just an NPC who gives you weapon exposition?

Stina

He gave us a quest completion bonus, too... Maybe he's some kind of special quest NPC.

This is just creating more and more questions. Still, meeting Pucci was a stroke of luck.

Zash

Let's head back to Urbus!
