Unused Texts from NPCs#

Wilbur Humphrey

If his shield was in my Castle, I think I’d be aware of it.  Perhaps if you were to leave, you may have better luck finding it…

Albert Newton

Did you forget where the way out is?  I sometimes do.  I think it’s the large doors behind you.  Or is that the kitchen?  In any case, I’m sure the hourglass isn’t here, I would have found it by now if it was.

Osric Temper

Still here?  The demons are to the west, near the coast, not in my throne room!  Or are you THAT lost?  You have the information you need to complete this mission, all you need now is to go out and do it.

Eric von Stromgard

You’ve had a measure of success in resetting the towers, I see, but the job isn’t done yet.  There are still towers unadjusted.  Finish what you’ve started and return to me to receive your reward.

Archdruid Quest

You must be standing before the altar of the Moon at midnight on any full moon to complete the Ceremony of the Moon and be promoted to arch druid.  There is nothing I can do for you to be promoted until then.

Unused Transition Texts#

Both The Oracle and The Control Center dungeons use nor transition cinematic, nor texts (from Trans.txt):

The Oracle has provided the rulers of Enroth with wisdom for as long as anyone can remember.
The Control Center has been closed since the Silence, nearly twelve centuries ago.

Die Intruder!

Another Letter from Zenofex To be found in Supreme Temple of Baa.

Letter from Zenofex
I must commend you on your excellent work.  Continue to undermine the power of the Ironfists, and no one will be left to challenge us.  If you have the opportunity, dangle the carrot of the throne in front of as many people as you can.  If we play our cards right, the humans will kill each other off in a bloody war for the throne.  The Kreegan will reward their loyal followers well.

Missive from the Archbishop To be found in Temple of the Sun.

Missive from the Archbishop
The completion of this temple marks a proud day for the Church of the Sun!  We now have temples in every major area in the world.  This temple, surrounded and isolated by nature, will serve as a center of worship for our new followers- the natives of these isles.  May the glory of the Sun shine on you all and bless your work.

A peg to hang Abandoned Temple on

Magical Ritual Notes
Rats!  Literally, rats.  We had perfected the Curse of the Endless Vermin, but one of the acolytes messed up, and now instead of New Sorpigal plagued, our temple has become infested with more vermin and insects and pests than I’ve seen anywhere.  We’ve tried for two days to reverse the curse and fight back the tides of annoying creatures, but we’ve failed.  Our only option now is to flee and construct a temple somewhere else in the south.

Letter to Terrax To be found in Castle Darkmoor.

Letter to Terrax
Congratulations on successfully completing your transformation.  I hope you are doing well.  Even if you aren’t, I need the Memory Crystal researched and its information revealed.  I have no more time for delays or failures, and I expect you to meet with success where the others have failed.  I know you have a fetish for Crystals, and I expect that you will use your experience with them to finish this job quickly.  When you have the information, bring it to me at Castle Ironfist.  Perhaps we can use what you find to access the rest of the Crystals.

Archibald

On becoming Lich To be found in Castle Darkmoor.

Loose Page
The Ritual of Endless Night is perhaps one of the most difficult to perform.  Not because of what is physically required, but the mental and spiritual anguish that the Mage must endure.  Giving up your humanity, your soul, is not something easily done.  Only the most greedy, the most ambitious, or the heartless can overcome the strain involved.

Letter to Agar To be found in Castle Kriegspire.

Letter to Agar
Desist your current experiments into creature evolution and construction.  I need your efforts directed into learning the purpose of and the information contained in this Crystal.  The Oracle apparently uses these for some purpose, and I need you to determine exactly what that is.  This task is more important than creating flightless birds and bull-men or whatever it is you are doing now.
