Before Observatory Quest
- Observatory professor: Hello.
- Select an Option
- Talk about the Observatory quest.
- Player: Hi, I was...
- Observatory professor: Welcome to the magnificent wonder of the Observatory, where wonder is all around you, where the stars can be clutched from the heavens!
- Player: Wow, nice intro.
- Observatory professor: Why, thanks! How might I help you?
- Select an Option
- I'm totally lost.
- Observatory professor: Lost? It must have been those pesky goblins that led you astray.
- Observatory professor: Head north-east to find the city of Ardougne.
- Player: I'm sure I'll find the way.
- Player: Thanks for all your help.
- Observatory professor: No problem at all. Come and visit again!
- The professor carries on with his studies.
- (End of dialogue)
- An Observatory?
- Player: An Observatory?
- Observatory professor: Of course. We have a superb telescope up in the Observatory, on the hill.
- Observatory professor: A truly marvellous invention, the likes of which you'll never behold again.
- Observatory assistant: Well, it would be if it worked.
- Observatory professor: Don't interrupt!
- Player: What? It doesn't work?
- Observatory professor: Oh, no, no, no. Don't listen to him, he's joking. Aren't you, my FAITHFUL assistant?
- Observatory assistant: Nope, dead serious. Hasn't been working for a long time.
- Observatory professor: Arghhh! Get back to work and stop sticking your nose in!
- Player: So, it's broken. How come?
- Observatory professor: Oh, I suppose there's no use keeping it secret. Did you see those houses outside?
- Player: Up on the hill? Yes, I've seen them.
- Observatory professor: It's a horde of goblins.
- Observatory professor: Since they moved here they have caused nothing but trouble.
- Observatory professor: Last week, my telescope was tampered with.
- Observatory professor: Now, parts need replacing before it can be used again. They've even been messing around in the dungeons under this area. Something needs to be done.
- Observatory assistant: Strikes me that this visitor could help us.
- Observatory professor: Stop being so rude.
- Observatory professor: ...
- Observatory professor: Although, he has a point. What do you say?
- Player: What, me?
- Start the Observatory Quest?
- Yes.
- Player: Sounds interesting, what can I do for you?
- Observatory professor: Oh, thanks so much.
- Observatory professor: I shall need some materials for the telescope, so it can be used again.
- Observatory professor: Let's start with three planks of wood for the telescope base. My assistant will help with obtaining these, won't you?
- Observatory assistant: As if I don't have enough work to do. Seems I don't have a choice.
- Observatory professor: Go talk to him if you need some advice.
- Player: Okay, I'll be right back.
- (End of dialogue)
- No.
- Player: Oh, sorry, I don't have time for that.
- Observatory professor: Oh dear. I really do need some help.
- Observatory professor: If you see anyone who can help then please send them my way.
- (End of dialogue)
- I'm just passing through.
- Player: I'm just passing through.
- Observatory professor: Fair enough. Not everyone is interested in this place, I suppose.
- (End of dialogue)
- Talk about Treasure Trails.
- Observatory professor: Welcome back! How can I help you today?
- Player: Can you teach me to solve treasure trail clues?
- Observatory professor: Ah, I get asked about treasure trails all the time! Listen carefully and I shall tell you what I know...
- Observatory professor: Lots of clues have degrees and minutes written on them. These are the coordinates of the place where the treasure is buried.
- Observatory professor: You have to walk to the correct spot, so that your coordinates are exactly the same as the values written on the clue scroll.
- Observatory professor: To do this, you must use a sextant, a watch and a chart to find your own coordinates.
- Observatory professor: Once you know the coordinates of the place where you are, you know which way you have to walk to get to the place where the treasure is!
- Player: Riiight. So where do I get those items from?
- Observatory professor: I think Murphy, the owner of the fishing trawler moored south of Ardougne, might be able to spare you a sextant. Then the nearest Clock Tower is south of Ardougne - you could probably get a watch there. I've
- Observatory professor: got plenty of charts myself, here have one.
- If the player has inventory space:
- The professor has given you a navigation chart.
- Player: Thanks, I'll see you later.
- (End of dialogue)
- If the player does not have inventory space:
- Observatory professor: You don't have enough space for the chart. Come back to me when you do.
- (End of dialogue)

Viewing the telescope another time
- Observatory professor: What do you see now?
- Player: I can see a constellation through the telescope. It looks like Scorpio.
- Observatory professor: Scorpio? Interesting. How very fitting.
- Player: What do you mean?
- Observatory professor: Scorpius, the founder of all we know relating to astronomy. There's a book about him in the reception. Perhaps you should check it out, you might learn something.
- Player: Then perhaps I shall.
- (End of dialogue)
Using any item on the professor

- Observatory professor: Wonderful. You must be very proud to have it.
