Dialogue
 * "Night has fallen on Vabbi, and the world is more treacherous than ever. I can't stop worrying about my precious Midauha. She's a brilliant scholar, but all those years with her nose in books has not prepared her for such perilous times. She's in Istan now, and I fear for her life."
 * "Two young men have been wandering around town looking for work and adventure...Norgu and Goren. Are you acquainted with them? I'm thinking of hiring one of them as bodyguard, but I'm not all certain which one to choose., can you meet me in Resplendent Makuun and help me decide?"

Intermediate Dialogue (Zerai the Learner at Resplendent Makuun)
 * "I've mastered knowledge from every shool of thought, but the mysterious nature of women still eludes me."
 * "Goren has natural strength and size, but he is a bit on the slow side. Norgu is certainly entertaining and quick on his feet to boot, but that may all be an act. I think they're both fairly trustworthy. What do you think? Who should I send to Istan to protect my beloved, Midauha?"

Possible answers:
 * 1."Goren's strength makes him the clear choice. Midauha can do the thinking for him."
 * OR
 * 2."Norgu will be great entertainment for Midauha and has a knack for getting out of trouble."

Intermediate Dialogue (After choosing answer #1)
 * "Excellent! Goren it is then.  I'm sure Midauha will find his strength to be great comfort.  I do feel a bit bad about not hiring Norgu, though.  Especially since he's had such a string of bad plays recently.  I know.  Why don't you talk to him?  Perhaps some time following a real hero will inspire him to write a masterpiece?"

'''Reward dialogue (Norgu, After choosing answer #1)
 * "Ahai! I am just about to leave for a few scheduled performances.  The world may be in chaos, but that doesn't mean we entertainers can rest!  Talk to me again when you're ready to leave."

Intermediate Dialogue (After choosing answer #2)
 * "Excellent! Norgu it is, then. I'm sure Midauha will find him to be great company. I do feel a bit bad about not hiring Goren, though. What will he do now that he's no longer serving Prince Bokka? I know. Why don't you talk to him? Perhaps he can tag along on your adventures?"

'''Reward dialogue (Goren, After choosing answer #2)
 * Without Prince Bokka around, I've had a lot of time to think. The more I think, the more I worry about Nightfall. It makes my head hurt. Now I can't remember where I put my stuff. Can you help me find my stuff? I need to keep it safe from Nightfall."
