| First Interaction |
??? - What is it? I don't know you, and you don't know me. Things are better that way... |
| A Way into the Cathedral |
??? - . . . You are an odd one... Normally, people keep a safe distance when they see this armor. But you... Clara - I am called Clara. From the land of Winter, to the West. Across the mountains... The reason I ventured out is unimportant. But what a strange land this is... Even the rumors did not prepare me. Clara - . . . That cathedral there... I need a way inside... I've been watching these blokes for quite a while now, and I think I've got it... To get inside, one requires a Solar Sigil. The Priests hold one half, while the Knights hold the other... I can see that you're a fellow traveler... Why don't we work together on this? I'll steal from the Priests, and you steal from the Knights... [Accept] (Start the A Way into the Cathedral quest) [Deny] (Close dialogue) Clara - Splendid work... Give me a moment... I'll have to figure out how to put these two halves together... [Complete] (+600 Crowns + 500 Insight Exp) |
| A Stealthy Exit |
Clara - While I put this together... Get me some smoke bombs, will you? Once the job is done, I prefer a stealthy exit... Heh heh. [Accept] (Start the A Stealthy Exit quest, obtain smoke bomb recipe) [Deny] (Close dialogue) Clara - Your timing is impeccable. I've just managed to assemble the Solar Sigil... [Complete] (+600 Crowns + 500 Insight Exp) |
| The Sigil |
Clara - It seems the Sigil requires some sort of prayer to the Solar God. I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here... [Accept] (Start the The Sigil quest, obtain Solar Sigil(not blessed)) [Deny] (Close dialogue) Clara - Huh... Odd and clever... Nicely done. Well then... I suppose that's my cue to get out of here. Oh... I almost forgot... I found this while sneaking around. Perhaps you'll find some use of it... Goodbye for now... I do hope we meet again.
