Dialogue

Ahoy, fellow traveler! / Heya, buddy! / Well, hello there!

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.

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!

This here is the Tempest Timberland. 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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Don't forget! A Wooden Deer from Windreach Woods is what we need. / Found that Wooden Deer yet? I've got my dissecting tools ready! / How's the Wooden Deer hunt? Any luck?

Oh, ho, ho! Isn't this a beauty! Good job, you.

Look at the bark on this beast! You've done well. Now, to the dissecting table!
