==Dialogue==
Ahoy, fellow traveler! / Heya, buddy! / Well, hello there!
:{{dialogue icon|who}}
::The name's Ludwig, Ludwig Schatten. Professional monster enthusiast.
::I'm the guy who looks danger in the eye and says, 'Nice to meet you, can I dissect you?
::I'm a Censor for the Keepers, which is just a fancy way of saying I get to play with dangerous monsters and deadly artifacts for a living.
:{{dialogue icon|hru}}
::How am I? Well, let's see. I haven't been eaten, maimed, or vaporized today, so I guess I'm doing pretty well.
::Life's peachy when you're always one step away from a monstrous death!
::I'm as jolly as a gnome in a junkyard. Just another day in paradise!
:{{dialogue icon|what}}
::This here is the Tempest Timberland{{sic|Ludwig is located in Windreach Woods.}}. A lovely spot if you don't mind the occasional monster trying to rip your face off.
::It's a bit like a haunted amusement park. Only the monsters are real and the cotton candy tastes like dirt.
::Between the eerie wind and the constant rustling, it's a great place to practice your scream!
:{{dialogue icon|help}} [If not accepted [[Study of the Wooden Deer]]]
::Actually, I have a situation that requires someone... expendable. Interested? / Have I got a whopper of a task for you! / Indeed, I'm sitting on a monster of a problem here. / Oh, do I have a job for you!
::Ah, the elusive [[Wooden Deer]]. A creature of splinter and leaf, bark and bone.
::Imagine a creature that's more tree than beast, wandering the woods like a lost limb of Mother Nature herself.
::I'm dying to dissect one of these natural marvels! With your help, science will march on!
::{{dialogue icon|do it}}
:::Fantastic! Stay sharp and remember, Wooden Deer are more dangerous than they look. Or so I've heard.
:::Don't forget! We need you to find a Wooden Deer in Windreach Woods.
::{{dialogue icon|no}}
:::Just think about it. It's not every day you get to hunt a tree-beast. / Oh, did I scare you? No worries, they're only slightly deadly. / Scared of a little tree? I won't tell anyone.

::::Actually, I have a situation that requires someone... expendable. Interested? / Have I got a whopper of a task for you! / Indeed, I'm sitting on a monster of a problem here. / Oh, do I have a job for you!
::The [[Dendroid Guard]], a living statue with a bark worse than its bite... literally.
::Their remains could tell us so much about their society. Are they protectors? Leaders? Or just really big bullies?
::You'll be doing science a huge favor. Plus, it will be one less Dendroid Guard to worry about.
::{{dialogue icon|do it}} [Dismantling the Dendroid Guard]
:::Fantastic! Remember, you're doing this for the noble cause of curiosity.
:::That Dendroid Guard isn't going to hunt itself. Off you go!
::{{dialogue icon|no}}
:::Awww, and I was looking forward to dissecting a Dendroid Guard. / No problem. I'll just add it to my list of potentially deadly quests. / Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

::The [[Young Woodraptor]] is an enigma. Why are they more aggressive than the adults?
::Is it because they're trying to prove themselves? Or maybe they're just cranky?
::Either way, I'd love to learn more about them. And you're going to help me!
::{{dialogue icon|do it}} [The Young Woodraptor Predicament]
:::Fantastic! Bring me that Young Woodraptor and we'll make scientific history!
:::Don't forget, we need a Young Woodraptor from Westwind Woods.
::{{dialogue icon|no}}
:::No harm done. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. / Oh well, can't blame a guy for trying. / Scared of a little Woodraptor? Don't worry, they're more bark than bite... well, mostly.

::Currently, it's all quiet on the monstrous front. / I'm good. I have enough life-threatening situations to last me the week. / Not at the moment. But stick around, something's bound to try and kill us. / Thanks, but I haven't run out of ways to risk my life...yet.
