Here to see me? I appreciate it, but...

I'm afraid I don't have much to tell you. There's still no sign of Anogg, and the villagers are...well, you know how they are.


Can't blame them, really. 2P used us─she said as much─but we were the ones who allowed ourselves to be manipulated. I keep thinking about what we might have done differently...
What will you say?
It serves no one to dwell on what could have been. You can't change what you've done, but you can change what you do now.


You're right. I have to fix this, somehow. Or at least try.
What are you lazing about here for, Konogg? Where's Anogg?
She's still up to no good, I bet! And run off before we could make her own up to it!
Don't be ridiculous! Anogg, she's...
She's what?
Go on. Explain to us where exactly Anogg is.
I...
Because I'll tell you where my wife is... She's at death's door because of the injuries she suffered in the attack!

Even if she wakes, she may never make a full recovery...


So if you know what's good for you, you'll get out of this village before I do something we'll both regret.
...

<sob>


I...<sniff> I...


<sniff> ...Sorry. I really shouldn't be wallowing.
I wish I could do something to help...for that man and his wife, especially.
But I don't know either of them well, and I doubt anyone is willing to talk to me now...
What will you say?
I'll ask around for you. I'll see what I can do. But you owe me─double if anyone punches me in the face.
Really? Thank you!

With a bit of luck, they'll open up to you. If there's anything I can do to make things better, anything at all...


In the meantime, I'll find another way to make myself useful. It's not as if there's a shortage of rubble that needs clearing around here.


I'm sure I can be of some use...somehow...
Look who it is. I hope you're not up to more mischief with Anogg and Konogg.

A woman with severe injuries and an angry husband... Yes, I know who you mean.


I doubt there's much to be done, but I won't stop you from trying. Those two have always been inseparable─I don't think I've ever seen them not holding hands. Can't imagine how he's feeling, now that she's in such a state.


You're friends with the poor dears, aren't you?
The very best of friends. And how I long for those days we drank away, without a care in the world! She always loved the mead...we all did...
<sniff> It was good mead...
...That it was. There, there.
Perhaps someday we'll be able to go back to the way things used to be.
No...I'll never have that kind of peace of mind again.
They talked to you? And no one got violent?
Mead? I suppose we are dwarves, so maybe it's not such a terrible idea. <sigh> But as far as I know, none of our stores survived the attack.
What will you say?
Down the cliff we go, then. We can buy more in Stilltide.


Oh! If there's some available for purchase, I'd happily spend the coin. Can you show me the way?
What will you say?
I could go myself. It's too dangerous for you out there.


No! No, I insist. I've accompanied you to much more dangerous places before, and I assure you I won't be a burden. And...I need to do this.

I still have a few things to tidy away before I leave, so I'll meet you at the bridge in a bit.


There you are! Now, if you'll show me the way?


Ah, the Ladder! I've never used it before. This will be an adventure!
The view is different outside of the village. Maybe I can find the perspective I need.
It's massive! How in the world did you get this moving?
What will you say?
With a great deal of help. I don't quite understand it myself. Luckily, I have people for that.
Well, go on! Tell me all about it!

I had no idea all of that happened in Eulmore! And the Talos...marvelous!


I wish I had your ability to bring out the best in people. Maybe then Komra wouldn't be...


Never mind. I thank you for your enlightening tale. And now...we descend!
Far be it from me to complain after having insisted upon accompanying you, but...are we there yet?

Eastward it is, then.


Deep breaths, Konogg. Just act natural. Confident. You can do this. ...Yaaah!
Forename! Good to see you.
Who's your friend? He seems...eager.
L-Lali-ho! I would like some mead! Please! Ma'am!
Well, I can't say “no” to one who asks so nicely...and any friend of Forename's is welcome here. I'll bring out our finest.
Did you see? I did it! Ah, it feels so good to be working toward a goal again...
Here we are.
Thank you, ma'am! I think this should be sufficient payment...

Let's hurry back. As exhilarating as this adventure has been, I want to make a gift of the mead right away.


Would you like to come with me? When I deliver the mead, I mean.
What will you say?
Someone has to look out for you. Of course I will.


I appreciate it. I admit that I'm a bit nervous... But this is my chance to help, if only in a small way, so I have to take it.

Excuse us! We, um...we wanted to offer our best wishes. And...my sincere apology, as well.


I know it doesn't come close to making up for what you've been through, but I brought you this. I thought that maybe you could share it...later...
...
Go away. We don't want anything from you.
...Oh.
All I want is for you to sod off so that me and my wife never have to see you again!
I'm sorry...
Lali-we've got another situation in our beards-ho!

Konogg just ran right past me toward the crater. I don't know about you, but I'd really rather not have him there by himself─especially not when he's so upset. I could hear the sobs from yalms away...


What's that all about?
What will you say?
There's this injured woman... The villagers still blame him for all of it...
Hmm... It's a tragic state of affairs all around.
The man you met─his wife was with child before her injury. Can't blame him for lashing out, given the circumstances.
But that doesn't mean Konogg deserves to take the brunt of it all.
I'd consider it a personal favor if you'd find him and tell him so. ...Another personal favor, at any rate.
He's not the most athletic dwarf I've ever met, so with any luck he won't have gotten far while we've been talking.

I'll go and have a word with certain folks in the village. See if we can't repair some of the damage that's been done.


I've never seen Konogg so worked up. I hope he's all right...
A-Anogg...
Anogg! Look over here!
Don't run off, Konogg! It's dangerous. Let your big sister take the lead.
Waugh!
Wicked white! Konogg, move!
A-Anogg? Anogg! Are you down there? I'm coming!

Anogg! Answer me!


No...


A-Anogg...? Are you behind this...thing?
Anogg, please! Say something!
○! :※×□#◇×○!
Wh-What?
◇! ○:※□×:※▽○!
Anogg! It's you...isn't it?
Ko...nogg.
What will you say?
That thing from the orb can't be Anogg. I'm sorry. Konogg... I think Anogg may be...
How do you know? How did you even know about─
Never mind. It doesn't matter. Anogg is what matters. Anogg, she...
What will you say?
I know. But you can't stay here. Let's go home and take some time to think, all right?
Fine...

Sorry... I'm fine. Everything's fine.


I just...need to be by myself for a while.
Tell me you found him.
What's the matter?
What will you say?
I'm afraid something has happened to Anogg... I don't know what I saw, but...
...She fell from a cliff, you say? And then when she reappeared from this “orb” there wasn't a scratch on her?

I admit that sounds bad. But I found those two in these very tunnels myself, years ago.


They were a pair of troublemakers since the start, and they've always been a little strange, to be sure. They have good hearts, though─both of them.


Anogg's too headstrong to let a little tumble keep her down. And I'm certain she'll be back with us before you know it.
As for the orb...I haven't the slightest idea, so don't you go prodding it. And keep it quiet for now. We may not be able to keep Konogg from dashing off again later, but we can preserve the peace for now.
