Rumour/Dialogue

These are dialogues of Harbourtown townsfolk rumours.

Abilities

Fiery Dash

• NPC: Apparently there’s a monster that dashes about like a rocket. I bet you could too if you recorded one!

Strange Magnetic Powers

• NPC: The word around town is that recording the strange sparking monster will grant you magnetic powers. Neat, huh?

Swimming

• NPC: I’ve been told that there’s a monster wearing diving gear that grants you the ability to swim in any waters if you record it!

Climbing Walls

• NPC: I know what you’re thinking!

• NPC: “It’d be much easier to get around if I could climb vertical surfaces like pumpkin vines do,” right?

Archangels

Trembling Ground

• NPC: I heard a rumour that the ground under New Wirral Park sometimes trembles as if a large vehicle is passing underground. What do you think’s down there?

Moving Signposts

• NPC: A ranger buddy of mine told me about these “Moving Signposts” on the lake.

• NPC: They speculate that if you stand on the buttons in the right order, and follow all the signposts, it’ll lead you to treasure.

• NPC: Apparently, others say it just takes you in a big loop.

Tiny Dominoth

• NPC: You probably won’t believe me, but I saw a tiny little Dominoth in the clearing in the center of Cherry Meadow. It wasn’t just a baby, it was small enough to fit in my hand!

• NPC: How do you think it got like that? Something strange is going on over there...

Cackling

• NPC: A friend of mine told me he heard deep manic cackling from one of the graves in the graveyard west of the creek. Weird, huh?

Summit

• NPC: Mt. Wirral is pretty tall, huh. I heard there was some kind of crazy lighthouse at the top. What do you think is up there?

The Triangle Man

• NPC: There’s a strange floating man with a triangle for a head in the center of town. Have you seen him?

Eerie Singing

• NPC: I couldn’t sleep last night. Did you hear the eerie singing coming from Harbourtown Station too?

Partners and Partner Quests

Kayleigh

• NPC: I heard some rangers saying that Kayleigh knows more than she lets on about those weird hooded cultists. Maybe you ought to ask her about them, huh?

Eugene

• NPC: I saw Eugene hanging out near a strange building outside of town. What is he doing out there?

Landkeepers (1)

• NPC: Someone I know in Mourningtown, up on Autumn Hill, says he’s seen a lot of landkeepers gathering at some kind of office lately...

Landkeepers (2)

• NPC: I was fishing on my boat in the waters north of Autumn Hill the other day and you’ll never guess what I spotted out in the fog...

• NPC: It was an office! A boring old office on a rock jutting out of the sea!

• NPC: The ghouls around it really gave me the creeps...

Landkeepers (3)

• NPC: Last time I went to Eastham Woods a gang of five landkeepers dragged me to their den and drained the life out of me.

• NPC: Honestly, their timeshare presentation was sooo boring.

Landkeepers (4)

• NPC: I was speaking to Maris Piper earlier. You know, the lady who runs the farm over the creek?

• NPC: She reckons some landkeepers have set up shop somewhere near her farm.

• NPC: It’s worrying, right? That farm supplies most of Harbourtown’s food. If the landkeepers gain control of it...

Meredith

• NPC: Do you know Meredith? She repairs the town’s electronics.

• NPC: If she’s not at her shop on the docks, she’ll be in the park.

• NPC: Pay her a visit if you need anything electronic!

Wrecked Apartment

• NPC: I saw some guy rooting through a wrecked apartment in Lakeside, north-west from the park.

• NPC: Do you think he needs help with it?

If the player has not defeated the Rogue Fusion at the elemental altar in Thirstaton Lake:

• NPC: I found a neat thing during my swim in the lake – some kind of altar between two pillars on an island.

If the player has not defeated the Rogue Fusion at the elemental altar in Autumn Hill:

• NPC: My sister in the Mournchild organisation said she saw a half-angel half-demon ninja catgirl near their town. But it might have just been the mouldy bread she ate!

If the player has not defeated the Rogue Fusion at the elemental altar in Eastham Woods:

• NPC: Have you heard about the mysterious altar deep in Eastham Woods? The rumours are that a demon performs occult rituals there in the dead of night. Some say it’s an angel. Others say it’s a catgirl.

Superheroine

• NPC: I got ambushed by slimes in the marshes and some caped superheroine jumped in to save me! I’m not making it up, honest!

Lost Dog

• NPC: Hey, do you know anyone who’s lost a dog?

• NPC: I saw one running around with a tape recorder – just an ordinary dog, not a Pombomb! – at the foot of Mt. Wirral, near the corner of the lake.
