"Thank the Watchers, a Guildean Knight! Oh, you're only a recruit? Well, I reckon I should just be thankful I'm not alone anymore. My family has been running Karthas for generations, but it's begun to unravel under my watch. The Mines have become less and less productive in spite of our best efferts. In a last ditch effort to keep Karthas alive, my crew began blasting in search of a new vein of ore. Some sort of beast emerged from one of the new passages and the miners fled to the surface. I wrote to your Outpost for help, but then a few days later, things got much worse. in the dead of night, a gang of hideous creatures came up from the Mines and ransacked the town! When the morning came, I finally worked up the courage to investigate and found the town was empty. Please, you must find the missing townsfolk and help restore Karthas! Take this key - it will open the gate to the Mines. ''And please remember to report back here if you find anyone."

"Please keep looking for the rest of the townsfolk! I wish i could be of more help, but I'm not as young as I used to be."

"It's good to hear that Narina is back! She hasn't been in town very long, but she is one of us all the same."

"Good! I'm glad Basden is alright. I used to think of him as a nuisance, but he's grown on me."

"You resqued Wynn! That's great news! I'll bet he is already back at the Tavern playing cards. ''Why anyone would spend all day playing games is beyond me, but to each their own."

"Oh fantastic, you found Duncan! He is my hardest worker, a born miner. ''I've never seen someone who loves minerals as much as he does!"

"Oh, thank the Watchers, you found Ash! Every one of my workers is like family, but Ash is the daughter I never had."

"Ah, you found Dom? Thank goodness, I don't know what we'd do without him. ''Without his skill at the forge, this town would just be a hole in the ground."

"Oh, that's great news! You found Ethel, did ya? She's the heart and soul of this town, you know. ''And she keeps us all in line!"

"Great work - I'm glad to have Kade back. He knows these mountains like the back of his hand."

"Good work finding Jinx. He's a mysterious fellow, but his reputation is well known throughout the kingdom."
