- You: The villagers are talking about some strange noises down here, and I'm going to investigate. Let me pass!
- Jacoby Drexelhand: Fine! Don't come crying to me after you trip in the dark and break your neck! (He opens the gate)
- You: You're the Crypt Keeper? Aren't you supposed to be maintaining this place?
- Jacoby Drexelhand: Heh, who has time for menial chores with Korthos' impending doom?
- Jacoby Drexelhand: The sahuagin want to destroy the village, and the only safe people are the ones who join their Devourer cult.
- Jacoby Drexelhand: Mark my words, in a month's time, the only people left in Korthos will belong to the cult.
- You: We'll see. But now I need to make sure there are no cultists in the crypt. Let me pass!
- Jacoby Drexelhand: Fine! Don't come crying to me after you trip in the dark and break your neck! (He opens the gate)
- You: We'll see. But now I need to make sure there are no cultists in the crypt. Let me pass!
- You: The villagers are talking about some strange noises down here, and I'm going to investigate. Let me pass!
After the gate is open, if you talk to him again, he will reply:
- Jacoby Drexelhand: Come to your senses yet? It's safe back up on the surface. (same dialogue options as before)
