Transcript:Mysterious Stranger
Initial dialogue
- Mysterious Stranger: Hey. Over here.
- Mysterious Stranger: You look like someone who can handle themselves. Are you intending to partake in the Theatre of Blood?
- Start the A Night at the Theatre quest?
- Yes.
- Player: Maybe?
- Mysterious Stranger: You're wondering what's in it for you I suppose. The citizens of Meiyerditch come here looking for freedom, but I can tell you're no citizen.
- Mysterious Stranger: Don't worry, you're not the first to sneak in. The guards here turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. Outsiders generally perform better in the Theatre, so make for more interesting entertainment.
- Mysterious Stranger: Even the outsiders don't survive though. No one does. You however, might just have what it takes.
- Player: Where are you going with this?
- Mysterious Stranger: You're strong enough to survive the Theatre, but you need a reason to try. I have a little proposition for you.
- Player: Go on...
- Mysterious Stranger: The Theatre is owned by Lady Verzik Vitur, a vampyre noble. I represent a party that has certain... interests in Verzik.
- Mysterious Stranger: Enter the Theatre and beat the challenges within. Doing so would be quite the embarrassment for Verzik, something that my associates would very much appreciate.
- Player: So you just need me to embarrass her? Doesn't sound too bad.
- Mysterious Stranger: Be aware, this will be no easy challenge. I doubt you'll succeed alone. However, the guards will let you enter in a group of up to five. I suggest you take advantage of this.
- Mysterious Stranger: You can use the notice board to find suitable allies with whom to enter the Theatre.
- Have you any advice to help me?
- Player: Have you any advice to help me?
- Mysterious Stranger: Actually, I do. Verzik's magic prevents most forms of teleportation. However, there is a special crystal with the power to overcome this restriction.
- Mysterious Stranger: I have... acquired some shards of the crystal. Do not ask me how. If you take one into the Theatre, you can use it to teleport to safety in an emergency.
- Mysterious Stranger: I can sell you some of these shards if you wish.
- Go and buy teleport crystals.
- Shop interface opens.
- Enter the Theatre without any teleport crystals.
- (End of dialogue)
- Very well, I'll do my best.
- Player: Very well, I'll do my best.
- (End of dialogue)
- No.
- Player: I don't think so.
- Mysterious Stranger: As you wish. Return to me if you change your mind.
- (End of dialogue)
Subsequent dialogue
- Mysterious Stranger: Any luck in the Theatre?
- Player: What am I meant to be doing again?
- Mysterious Stranger: Enter the Theatre and beat the challenges within. Doing so would cause great embarrassment to Verzik and my associates would very much appreciate it.
- If the player has not defeated Verzik Vitur at least once:
- Player: I've managed to defeat her! I survived every single one of Verzik's challenges!
- Mysterious Stranger: Really?
- Player: No.
- Mysterious Stranger: I suggest you don't waste my time.
- If the player has defeated Verzik Vitur at least once:
- Player: I've managed to defeat her! I survived every single one of Verzik's challenges!
- Player: At the end, she even chose to face me herself. I couldn't fully defeat her though, she just transformed into a bat and flew away.
- Mysterious Stranger: Impressive. Don't stop there though, return to the Theatre and embarrass her again. Keep it up and you will be rewarded.
- Player: Very well, I'll do my best.
- (End of dialogue)
Claiming Additional XP Lamps
- Mysterious Stranger: You again. My master is very impressed with your work. On his behalf, allow me to reward you.
- (Player receives one antique lamp.)
Before Theatre release
- Mysterious Stranger: You should be careful around here friend. If I can tell you don't belong here, they probably can as well.
