Dialogue

Crystarium Botanist: Alack, the timber is fighting back!

When you speak to the Crystarium Botanist:

Crystarium Botanist: O stranger, hear my plea! The trees have turned, and logger becomes logee! The poets were right─my hubris has undone me!

Gather the lumber in the hope that it will quiet the man?

If you say no:

Crystarium Botanist: Alas and woe, woe is me! If only someone would prune these infernal triffids, these vexatious trees!

If you say yes:

Crystarium Botanist: You shall gather the timber for me, you decree? Ah, such noble charity! The fruits of my labor can be collected from the forest floor, you see─though hacking up a triffid would be just as effective, probably.

Crystarium Botanist: Alas and woe, woe is me, I─ Oh, timber! That will do nicely, thank you.

Crystarium Botanist: I don't suppose I might trouble you for a few more lengths of the stuff, while you're here? I could ask in verse, if that helps...

Crystarium Botanist: Boughs tremble, but speak not of the gentle breeze─ Aha, more timber! Thank you, fair stranger.

Crystarium Botanist: Yes, this amount of wood should more than suffice. You are as a hero in one of the epics of eld! An epic involving an abundance of splinters.

Crystarium Botanist: At last does the harvest to my humble hands return! Methinks anon I shall adjourn. ...Hm, that one's a bit much, isn't it?
