Dialogue

First encounter:

Oh... hello.
Why am I just sitting here?
I'm the best thief in the Eight Kingdoms.
But what can a thief do against a dragon? A dagger against wyrmscale? No...
So i just sit here.

You... you've slain the dragon?
Well... if you've done that, maybe someone like me can slay mighty monsters as well.
Here, take this brand. It'll hurt, but it's a tool crucial to a thief.

There's treasure in the heart of this island, and it'll be mine. Just you wait.

 Second encounter:

I needed to find this place... my blade's been thirsting for blood, and my satchel's been hungry for gold.
Funny though... gold's the reason I'm stuck here.
I had a job: escort a nobleman across the sea.

Me, working? Go on, laugh.
You know, I'm a thief. I dwell in somewhat more... unsavory... channels. But I'm the best.
My services were requested for this top secret mission for the crown, because I'm the best.
But we wrecked on this island. Dunno what happend to that highborn prick.
Don't care.

Most likely he's dead, and not only is my pay forfeit, so is my neck, if I ever set foot back home.
So what's this thief to do? Gather up whatever spoils I can find, scrap together a skiff out of salvage, and sail to Coastrock.

Coastrock's the perfect place for someone like me to shed her notoriety.

Third encounter:

I... I found him.
My nobleman, I mean. I recognized his dress, I'd only seen him from afar before, but there he was, up close, dead.
I cut his robes off in search of jewels. You know what I found?

I found a brand on his neck.
They don't punt brands on the necks of noblemen.
Know who they put brands on the necks of?
Slaves.
A slave in nobleman's dress.
What's a slave doing in nobleman's dress?

My nobleman was a slave...
Do you think your princess was as well?

Yes:
You and I are clever, aren't we?
Sent on fools' errands, shipwrecked on a cursed island.
But to what end?

There's a dark purpose to me being stranded here, but I'm not foolish enough to see what it is.
I'm done hunting treasure. I'll find salvage, craft a seaworthy skiff, and sail southeast.

You know the place: Coastrock.

Last encounter:

Lot of wrecked ships here, pretty sure I'll be able to scrap something together here.
Thanks for keeping me company, friend.

I'd take you with me if I could promise a safe journey, but I can't, so I won't.
Besided, you've got a lady to find, be it a princess or a slave.

For your trouble, here's a share of the spoils I've found.
If you find your way off this island, come to Coastrock, find the Red Falcon, and ask for Edward.
My name's not Edward, but that's how you'll find me.
