>[!quote]+ If you haven't met *I don't believe we've met. I'm known as [[D]]. I hunt down [[Those Who Live in Death]], and weed their [[Deathroot]]. Heed my warning. [[Those Who Live in Death]] should be left well alone. All the more, should you spy a [[Tibia Mariners|mariner]] among their number. Unless you wish to lay down your life in vain.* >[!quote]- If you killed a [[Tibia Mariner]], but D hasn't marked [[Maliketh|Gurranq's]] waygate on your map *Another fool who won't listen to reason, eh? But with a prowess for weeding [[Deathroot]]. ... How would you like to earn the strength of [[beasts]]? If you're inclined to hunt more of [[Those Who Live in Death]], and weed their [[Deathroot]], then I'll introduce you to [[Maliketh|Gurranq, the beast clergyman]]. I have a matter of my own to attend to. And the [[beast]] himself wishes for someone to take my place. What say you?* >>[!quote]+ Yes >>*Very well. Show me your map. ... I've marked the location for you. Of a hidden [[gateway]]. It will lead you to [[Maliketh|Gurranq, the beast clergyman]].* >> >>*I have a matter of my own to attend to. I've spotted the [[mark of the centipede]]. An ill-omened symbol that should not be. Someone, or something, threatens the sanctity of the [[Golden Order]]. And must be eradicated.* >> >>*What is it? Still milling about? The map indicates where the [[gateway]] is hidden. It will lead you to [[Maliketh|Gurranq, the beast clergyman]].* > >>[!quote]- No >>*Well, all right, then. No sense in forcing you.* >[!quote]+ You haven't met [[Maliketh|Gurranq]] >*Ah, hello again. You haven't gone to see [[Maliketh|Gurranq]] yet, have you? Well, no rush. You do as you please. Just as long as he doesn't starve to [[death]], eh.* > *Go to [[Gurranq]] only if you feel the time is right. Killing [[Those Who Live in Death]] and weeding their [[Deathroot]]... Is a path not to be trod without ample resolve.* >[!quote]+ You've met [[Maliketh|Gurranq]] >*You've met [[Maliketh|Gurranq]], I take it? Then owing to our duties shared, we are now comrades-in-arms. I think you've earned this. The power of the [[Golden Order]], to aid the hunt of [[Those Who Live in Death]].* >[!quote]+ The Golden Order >*I serve the [[Golden Order]]. That I might put this crooked land to rights. Following only the guidance of the great [[The Elden Ring|Elden Ring]]. [[Those Who Live in Death]] fall outside the principles of the [[Golden Order]]. Their mere existence sullies the guidance of [[gold]]. Tainting its truth. And so it is the vermin must be exterminated... Down to the very last.* >[!quote]+ Rogier >*Are you acquainted with a man named [[Rogier]]? You know, the piteous fellow hiding away on the balcony? He was a formidable [[spellblade]], in times past. Don't let his easy air deceive you. He was wise beyond his years, stout of heart and clear of mind. No more though. You see him now, ravaged by [[thorns]], muttering and rambling... Like he's half dead already. I can't stomach to watch. Take well the lesson, friend. That's how you end up, when seduced by [[Those Who Live in Death]]. When [[grace]] is sullied, it rots people from the inside. Breaks them.* >[!quote] After [[Fia, the Deathbed Companion|Fia]] gives you the [[Weathered Dagger]] >*Well, what have we here? How did you get your hands on [[Weathered Dagger|that dagger]]? ... Well. That hardly matters. I know very well whose dagger it is. Why don't I return it to them for you? Good work, bringing this to me.* >[!location] [[Roundtable Hold]] >[!questline] [[D(arian), Hunter of the Dead|D]] & [[D(evin), Beholder of Death|D]] >Preceded by: [[Dialogue - D @ Summonwater Village]] >Followed by: [[Dialogue - D @ Deeproot Depths]] #source #dialogue #d_beholder_of_death #d_hunter_of_the_dead #roundtable_hold
