Quotes

First time at young man

Young Man says: You look like someone who might be able to help me.
Young Man says: You see, my girlfriend and I got ambushed by a group of angry
                green monsters over by the waterfall. They were small but there
                were like twenty of them so I couldn't fight them off. They
                carried Alisa away as I lay in a heap on the ground. I saw them
                heading south before I passed out. Perhaps you could find their
                lair Farelid and free her from their clutches.  If you could I
                would be forever in your debt.
Young Man searches around the room for something.

Young Man says: How could I be so stupid to bring her out here.

Young Man mumbles to himself.

Young Man says: Their lair has to be around here somewhere.

Young Man says: My dads gunna kill me, not to mention Alisa's.

When you find Alisa

The pile of bones in the corner rattles, then you see a small figure emerge from under them.

Alisa exclaims: Oh thank goodness you've arrived!

Alisa says: I've been trapped in here so long that I began to fear I'd never get back home. Now thanks to you zzz I can return home to my family.

The young lady dashes through the doorway and out of sight.

Returning to Young Man after having found Alisa

Young Man says: So you've found Alisa! Thats great I don't know what I would have done without your help Arkasi.
Young Man says: Return back to Vilmiud and see my brother Sergeant Crommwell. I'll tell him to give you something you could use.
Young Man says: I must go now and see how Alisa is doing and apologize for getting her into this mess.
Young Man waves before disappearing down the cavern.

Coming to Sergeant Crommwell

Sergeant Crommwell says: Bye None, You've Done Welle Arkasi Ine Returninge Alisa Back Home. I'm Sure
                         Jonathane Ande Herself Have Some Explaininge To Do.
Sergeant Crommwell says: Verily, Thise Ise Mye Owne Personale Sword. It Usede To Be At Mye Side Ase
                         I Adventurede The Knowne World, But Now I Am Growinge Olde Ande Thise
                         Sworde Deservese A Bettere Home. Take It Ande Use It Wisely.

Returning to young man after having finished the quest

Young Man says: You're probably wondering why I am still in this same spot and not in Vilmiud...
Young Man says: I just come here to think once and a while and reflect on things.  I'm glad there
                are hero's like you when guys like me get into a mess.
Young Man says: Thanks again for your help.
