Encounter

• Brawnpits: You look familiar... But then, you're so very small, it's hard to tell the difference between you and others of your kind. Anyhow, matters of great importance are afoot, so unless you are here to bring ol' Brawnpits some Ancient Giant Totems before Betty gets antsy... Actually, it would be very helpful if you could do that. I've already sent my lazy nephews, Thum and Nale, off to find them and I've just about given up on them. Maybe You'll do better.
  • You: Actually, I did find something. Will this do?
    • (If you don't have any of the three totems)
      • Brawnpits: I may have some trouble seeing the totems myself, but Betty does not, and she tells me that is not what you claim it is. Do you want to argue with her?
        • You: Uh... maybe I just had some questions instead. (See below)
        • You: No, that's okay. I'm pretty sure I'm mistaken. I'll go find the real Totems now. (Walk away)
    • (If you have one of the totems)
      • You: Actually, I did find something. Will this do?
      • Brawnpits: Ah, so you did find some Totems afterall, little one. These should do nicely, but I could use two more Ancient Giant Totems. I would tell you that a job well done is a reward in and of itself, but I know you... You won't be happy unless you receive some sort of material reward. There's nothing worthwhile to make stew from out here, so you may have some of this worthless tiny junk that I have found in my travels. Here's a little chest full of it, so take your pick.
      • You: Thanks Brawnpits, I'll go find two more Totems for you.
    • (If you have a second totem or two totems)
      • You: Actually, I did find something. Will this do?
      • Brawnpits: Ah, so you did find some Totems afterall, little one. These should do nicely, but I could use one more Ancient Giant Totem. I would tell you that a job well done is a reward in and of itself, but I know you... You won't be happy unless you receive some sort of material reward. There's nothing worthwhile to make stew from out here, so you may have some of this worthless tiny junk that I have found in my travels. Here's a couple little chests full of it, so take your pick.
    • (If you have a third totem or three totems)
      • You: Actually, I did find something. Will this do?
      • Brawnpits: I have all the Totems I need, and no more rewards for you. It's almost as if it was destined to be.
  • You: I have some questions.
    • Brawnpits: Of course you do. The little ones always have questions.
      • You: Where do I find Ancient Giant Totems?
        • Brawnpits: If I knew where to find them, I would have found them myself. They're very small, like you, and hard to see. All I know is that there are bound to be some scattered throughout Gianthold, left over from the days of yore. To find them, you'll have to use your head. For seeing.
          • You: I have more questions. (See above)
      • You: What do the Totems look like?
        • Brawnpits: They're very small. But then again, so are you. They're probably about your size, made of stone in the form of a Giant's head but they may have some wear and tear. You'll know when you see one. You may have already seen one, but of course, I haven't seen what you have. They may in fact look very similar to the one I managed to find right here next to me.
        • You: That doesn't make any sense. Why are 'Giant Totems' so small?
        • Brawnpits: They're also very old. So old in fact, that they come from when Giants used to lord over the Elves. As I hear it, they were made by the Elves, who were very weak, and not very good stoneworkers. They were supposed to be Giant statues, but they ended up being only useful for Shamanic Totems. Sometimes when you need help, you take what you can get. I'm looking at you.
          • You: I have more questions. (See above)
      • You: What are these Totems for?
        • Brawnpits: Rituals, of course. What else would one use a totem for? They still hold some power, but one like you would never be able to understand it. You ask too many questions. Just be patient, bring me the Totems, and you'll see, young grasshopper.
          • You: I have more questions. (See above)
      • You: What are you doing in Gianthold?
        • Brawnpits: Looking for Ancient Giant Totems, of course. What did I say about dumb questions? I need them to perform a special ritual when the time is right. You'll see. Just continue along your path, and all will make sense.
          • You: I have more questions. (See above)
      • You: Refresh my memory... Who's Betty?
        • Brawnpits: Gladly. Betty is my club. She has a short temper for those that would make good paste. Would you like her to further refresh your memory?
          • You: Uh, no thanks. I like not being paste. I just have some other questions instead.
      • You: Where are Thum and Nale?
        • Brawnpits: Who knows. Probably somewhere out there napping. I tried to send them on a quest of discovery and enlightenment, and this is what happens. Then again, this is a dangerous place. I feel they'll learn something yet.
          • You: I have more questions. (See above)
      • You: Actually, I think I already found something for you. Will this do? (See above)
• (On subsequent dialogue initiation) Brawnpits: So, do you have any Ancient Giant Totems for Brawnpits, or are you here for questions? And, before you ask dumb questions, you may want to search within yourself for dumb answers. It will save us both valuable time. (Same response options as initial dialogue - See above)
