Dialogue

Greetings, traveler. / Haven't seen your kind in a while. / Hello, stranger. / Oh, a visitor.

My name's Hilda Deeproot, just a humble dweller of these woods.

Heed my warning, the forest is a twisted maze, with creatures lurking in the shadows. Prepare for uninvited encounters.

My companions? The trees, the breeze, and the quiet.

I'm well, thank you for asking.

Living in harmony with the forest is all the comfort I need.

The forest takes care of me, as I take care of it.

This is Westwind Woods, my home.

From the towering trees to the whispering winds, every bit of it is alive.

It's teeming with life, some seen and some hidden, but all part of the grand cycle.

[If not accepted Forest's Bounty]

Indeed, I have a task only someone like you can accomplish. / There's indeed something you can help me with. / Yes, I need your assistance.

I'm aware of the shuttle crash you speak of, yet the knowledge isn't freely given.

Fetch me Neon Mushrooms. They are a rare breed, often found growing on the magical trees deep within Westwind Woods. These mushrooms are crucial for my brewing.

[Forest's Bounty]

Your courage is commendable. Good luck with your search.

Find and bring me the Neon Mushroom. They grow on the magical trees deep within Westwind Woods.

I understand. It's not an easy task. / It's your choice, traveler. The forest can be a treacherous place. / Very well, the forest's mysteries aren't for everyone.

[If accepted Forest's Bounty]

I appreciate your offer, but I'm currently at peace. / Thank you, but I am in need of nothing at the moment. / The forest provides. I need nothing more.

[If accepted Forest's Bounty]

Be patient, the Neon Mushroom is elusive. / Keep your eyes on the ground. The Neon Mushroom has a unique glow. / Remember, the Neon Mushroom thrives in the heart of the forest.

[If completed Forest's Bounty]

Ah, splendid! You've returned, and with the Neon Mushroom. As promised, here's what I know about the crash.

The culprits, they're not your usual woodland pests. They're Imps, malevolent creatures causing chaos around these parts.

There's the Witcher, lurking in the depths of Tempest Timberland. He's a vile sorcerer, wielding a severed head as twisted focus for his dark spells.

Then, we have the Firestarter, right here in Westwind Woods. He has a dangerous affinity with fire, hurling Molotov cocktails and dynamite with glee.

Lastly, the brute Executioner resides in Windreach Woods. He's a hulking menace, wielding a monstrous axe that's cleaved more than just trees.

They're the ones who orchestrated the crash, make no mistake. Tread carefully, they are as wicked as they are cunning.
