Dialogues
Guardsman Qao Lin
 * I knew we could count on you to volunteer, but we are short on time. The Ministry of Purity has moved off of Shing Jea Island in order to hunt down the gangs of Kaineng, and we all know how that is going. They thought the Sensali had lost the will to fight, but that's exactly what the clever birds wanted us to believe. The Sensali have already surrounded the monastery, and it's only a matter of time before they break through the gates. The Ministry is nowhere to be found, and we're the only ones close enough to reach Shing Jea in time. Say the word and we'll depart.

Acceptance Dialogue

 * Accept: Those Tengu don't realize they were attacking the school of hard knocks to their heads!
 * Reject: I've never really been a fan of education anyway...


 * When asked about quest: Are you ready to set sail?
 * Accept: Raise the anchors!
 * Reject: I've never really been a fan of education anyway...

Intermediate Dialogue 1
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Thank The Six you have arrived! The Sensali fell back to regroup when you arrived, but they are many in number and will be back soon."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "The gate won't hold much longer and the ward that Headmaster Amara created on the staircase grows weaker by the moment! Are there more forces on the way?"
 * : "The Sensali have the monastery completely surrounded. We were barely able to get here ourselves."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "But what of the Ministry of Purity?"
 * : "It would seem chasing political dissidents is a higher priority to them than defending the lives within these walls."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Even with the favor of the gods, I still fear we are outmatched."
 * : "We just need to improvise. Quickly! I need rope any empty bottles you can find, and every drop of lantern fuel you have!"
 * Apprentice Zhi: "I found some rice wine bottles, but they're full..."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Then empty them, my child!"
 * Apprentice Zhi: "Uhhh...yes, headmaster!"
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "What do you have planned?"
 * : "We can construct explosives out of these items. We can either throw them at the enemies over the walls, or place them on the ground as traps."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Brilliant! Here is the rope and fuel. Now where are those rice wine bottles?"
 * Apprentice Zhi: "I'm...*hic*...emptying them as fast as I can. Come...*hic*...talk to me when you need one."

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (When timer is up)
 * Canthan Guard: "Headmaster, the Sensali are coming back!"
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "To the gates!"

Intermediate Dialogue 3 (When the south gate has fallen)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "The south gate is down!"
 * : "Reinforcements to the south side of the monastery! Hold them on the bridge!"
 * Headmaster Amara: "I...I can't hold it any longer! The line of warding is failing!"

Intermediate Dialogue 4 (After the main gate has fallen)
 * : "We need to move some of our forces to the north side of the monastery. We have to hold them in the choke point!"

Intermediate Dialogue 5 (After the first wave is defeated)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "We can hold them, just keep fighting!"
 * Canthan Guard: "The walls! They are coming over the southwestern wall!"
 * : "You seem suprised. They may not fly but they certainly aren't afraid of heights!"
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Move our forces as needed, we must hold strong!"

Intermediate Dialogue 6 (After the second wave is defeated)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "They are greater in number, but our wills are stronger!"

Intermediate Dialogue 7 (After the third wave is defeated)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Stand strong my brothers and sisters! The Six smile upon us this day!"

Intermediate Dialogue 8 (After the fourth wave is defeated)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "They just keep coming! There are so many!"
 * : "This is it, they're sending in all of their forces!"
 * : "If we hold them now, victory is ours!"

Intermediate Dialogue 9 (After the last wave is defeated)
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "We've done it! We won!"
 * Apprentice Zhi: "We...*hic*...won? Wait, what did we win? Was it more wine!? I think I need a nap..."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Thank you, . Without you the monastery surely would have fallen."
 * Canthan Guard: "Headmaster, our scouts report Ministry of Purity boats on the horizon."
 * : "Always so timely...it seems it is time for us to take our leave."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "Leave? But you're the heroes of the day!"
 * : "I've seen what the Ministry does to heroes that do not share their convictions."
 * Interim Headmaster Mhenlo: "I heard rumors about your falling out with the Ministry, but I did not realize the extent of your disagreement. Perhaps if I speak with them on your behalf. I could speak with Reiko..."
 * : "I thank you for the offer, but I think it's due time I speak with her myself."

Reward dialogue
 * Guardsman Qao Lin
 * "Well done, . You defended the monastery and, perhaps more importantly, greatly weakened the Sensali. This was a desperation move, and their numbers will be greatly depleted by it. Of course, that hasn't stopped the Ministry of Purity from using this attack to propose a new law banning ALL Tengu from Cantha. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the reason they were not there to defend the monastery was because they wanted it to fall to the Tengu, just so they could point to that to pass their hateful law! But I digress. This was a great victory, and you have our thanks. I would say you should stay and celebrate, but I believe our mutual friend would like to speak with you in Shenzun Tunnels."
