#### Introduction: >[!quote]+ *Oh, this is a rare occasion. I can't remember the last time a new [[Tarnished]] made their way to the Roundtable. Very well. As your senior, I bid you welcome. It is safe here. You may let down your guard.* >[!quote]+ *Allow me a word of advice, as your senior. You are a mere visitor to the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]], nothing more. A house guest, yet to earn their keep. Remember your place, newcomer.* >[!quote]+ *There's nothing left to say. Be at your leisure.* #### Next Visit: >[!quote]+ *What do you need? I have little time to spare.* >[!quote]+ What do you mean, a house guest? *Oh, are you aggrieved? At the notion you are but a visitant here? Then you would do well to remember the first words of [[grace]] given to you. Stand before [[the Elden Ring]], and become the [[Elden Lord]]. If those words held any meaning to you... Follow the [[guidance of grace]], lay low the [[shardbearers]], and claim for yourself a [[Great Runes|Great Rune]]. Do so, and the doors to the Roundtable's inner chamber will open. And you will receive the wisdom of the [[Two Fingers]].* >[!quote]+ *Once the wisdom of the [[Two Fingers]] becomes your own, I'll impart to you a proper welcome. As a true member of the [[Roundtable Hold|Roundtable]]. I have high hopes for you. I'm sick and tired of them. These namby-pamby [[Tarnished]] think us no more than a shelter from the rain...* >[!quote]+ *We've spoken long enough. I have matters to attend to.* >[!location] [[Roundtable Hold]] >[!character] [[Gideon]] >Preceded by: >Followed by: #source #dialogue #gideon #roundtable_hold
