Dialogue
Quest DescriptionYou encounter Lauma, who is deep in thought, at the Frostmoon Enclave...
- (Approach Lauma)
- Longplume Ibis: ~♪
- Lauma: ...Yes, I'm sure you have very many friends indeed, but that's not the issue. Even if you summoned every ibis on Hiisi Island, I still don't think you'd be able to move the Moon Mirror.
- Lauma: And even if you managed it, the Lunar Semblance within would still—
- Weasel Thief: !!!
- Lauma: ...Dig it out? Hmm. You could, but moving the Mirror would still pose a challenge, even for you.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: Huh? You really can summon every ibis on the island, if that's what it takes...?
- Lauma: ...And you, on the other hand, think this plan is a joke, even if the Ibis gets its entire family involved...?
- Weasel Thief: !!!
- Paimon: Wow, things are really kicking off over here... Looks like we've got a Weasel Thief in a heated argument with a bird...
Planning a joint heist?- Are they arguing over how to split the loot?
- Lauma: We're "plotting and scheming," to be precise. I'm told we have to "get all our ducks in a row" before moving forward on this job.
- Lauma: But my co-conspirators disagree quite strongly on the best approach, and they're not exactly being diplomatic about it. Choice words have been spoken...
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: Alright, alright, I believe you — I'm sure you do have friends in high places. Although, where did you learn to speak like that...
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: ...From a short girl with a metal arm and a hat?
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: ...Oh, of course you can keep talking like that, so long as you enjoy it. But... be sensible around her, okay? Don't copy everything she does.
- Lauma: I'm going to have a little chat with (Traveler) and Paimon now, so be good and pipe down a little.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Paimon: Wow, it really did quiet down. Being able to understand animal-speak is so cool! Paimon wishes she had that ability...
- Lauma: ...Trust me, Paimon. You would not enjoy it very much at all.
- That sounded ominous...
- I have chills running down my spine...
- Lauma: Ah, don't misunderstand. Nothing terrible would happen, and it doesn't drive you insane or anything like that...
- Lauma: ...Although, that being said, I do sometimes find it quite overwhelming...
- Lauma: I was overjoyed when I first discovered that I could understand animal-speech, but I quickly realized that it came with a downside...
- Lauma: This ability is always active, and I cannot control it.
- Paimon: Oh... Yeah, that would be a problem. And if you can't control it, that means...
- From the forest to the waterfront...
- Wherever there are animals around...
- Lauma: ...Exactly. People say that listening to the birdsong deep in the woods gives them a profound sense of peace and quiet that lifts their spirits.
- Lauma: But no matter where I go, I... can never find peace and quiet.
- Lauma: When I stand in the forest, I hear the chatter of the wildcats, the rabbits, the rimehorn deer, the chic badgers, and the longplume ibis...
- Lauma: They argue loudly about who's to blame for damaging whose roost, or which part of the woods the best twigs come from...
- So your ears can never get any rest.
- It's non-stop chatter, wherever you go...
- Paimon: A—Alright... Guess talking to animals isn't all it's cracked up to be.
- Paimon: Waking up to the sound of birds chirping is pretty nice, but... Replace that chirping with bickering, and suddenly it doesn't seem so appealing.
- We both know it takes more than a little chirping to wake you up.
- How many times have I had to shake you awake?
- (Paimon glares at the Traveler with her hands on her hips)
- Lauma: As for me... I've lived with it so long that I'm used to it now. In fact, it would probably be quite an adjustment if I woke up one day and couldn't hear the finches discussing which cup in which house makes for the best bath.
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Lauma: ...Yes, plotting and scheming, thank you for reminding me — I got a little sidetracked. Although, now that (Traveler)'s here, we might just have the solution to our problem.
- I got friends in high places too...
- I just need a little time to get a crew together.
- Lauma: No, no, just you will suffice.
- Lauma: This job involves breaking into a storage room by undoing the seal created with the Moon Mirror by a previous Moonchanter. But for someone of your talents, I'm sure it will be a simple task.
- Created by a previous Moonchanter?
- I'm going to need some on-the-job training!
- Lauma: Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine. Come, let's go.
- (Approach the Moon Mirror)
- Lauma: Here we are. What you see now is the Moon Mirror, within which the Lunar Semblance is sealed.
- Paimon: Must be a pretty precious statue if they went to all this effort to seal it away... Will there be some traps inside? Y'know, the kind that send arrows flying out if you step in the wrong place?
- I'm ready either way.
- I'm used to this sort of thing.
- Lauma: Do not worry. This little one did some scouting for me ahead of time. The seal does not contain any such fatal traps.
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Paimon: Oh, nice! That's good to know. And yeah, that sounds like a job for a weasel thief.
- But from the looks of it...
- This weasel thief doesn't work for free...
- Lauma: Haha. That's true. Each time I ask it for help, I have to pay it one Mora more the next time we meet.
- Paimon: Heh, what a thieving little weasel! ...Oh wait, that tracks.
- Paimon: Hmm, but considering that it's helping you keep watch on the Lunar Semblance, it might need a name change.
- Paimon: How about... "Weasel Guardian"!
- Weasel Thief: !!!
- (The Weasel Thief leaps into the air, trying to grab Paimon)
- Paimon: Hehe, can't catch Paimon, Paimon can fly! Nyeehh~
- (The Weasel Thief then hops onto the Traveler's head)
- Weasel Thief: !!!
- Hey, hey, don't climb onto me...
- Not the hair! Not the hair...
- Lauma: Come on, be nice to our guests.
- Weasel Thief: ...
- So, how do I help?
- How will we get this mechanism open?
- Lauma: To retrieve the Lunar Semblance, we need to activate pairs of mechanisms in two different locations. So, it's a two-person job.
- Lauma: If you head over there and take the mechanism on that side, I'll take this side.
- But how do we make sure we activate them simultaneously?
- Lauma: That won't be a problem. I have eyes in the sky.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: It will keep me updated on where you are and which mechanism is in front of you. Don't worry, all you have to do is follow my instructions.
- (Talk to Lauma, optional)
- Lauma: If you head over there and take the mechanism on that side, I'll take this side.
- (After clearing the path for the statue)
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: Understood, I will retrieve the Lunar Semblance now.
- (Lauma uses her power pull the statue towards her)
- (If the obstacle blocks the statue before it can be retrieved)
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: Huh? (Traveler), the way out has been blocked. Could you try that again?
- (After retrieving the statue)
- Paimon: Wow, what a huuuge statue... Yeah, no amount of birds or weasels is shifting that.
- Paimon: They probably couldn't even get past the mirror... So Lauma, just how valuable is this statue, anyway?
- Lauma: In terms of Mora? Not much, I suspect.
- Lauma: It's crudely fashioned, and the kind of stone it's carved from is found everywhere around these parts...
- Lauma: But to the Moonchanter of that era, and to the Frostmoon Scions of today, it is a priceless treasure.
- Lauma: If nothing else, I now have concrete proof of its existence. That's enough to confirm the reliability of several documents on the topic.
- Lauma: To me, that makes this a very successful trip.
- Lauma: Thank you for your help, (Traveler). I knew I had judged you correctly — the Moon Mirror posed no obstacle to you.
- Lauma: And our little friend here was very impressed with your mechanism-operating skills.
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Paimon: What is it saying, Lauma?
- Lauma: It says that (Traveler) is the best treasure-hunter it's ever seen. It wishes it could join (him/
her) on a quest to unlock all the treasure chests in the world. - Gee, that makes me sound like a thief...
- It's true that I've opened a ton of chests, though...
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Lauma: "From now on, I'll call on you if I ever find a treasure chest I can't crack!"
- (The weasel thief runs off)
- Paimon: Uh... Okay, bye then... Didn't even give us a choice in the matter!
- Lauma: Don't worry, it won't come knocking on your window every day with a Mora coin in its jaws, trying to drag you off on a treasure hunt...
- Lauma: And it certainly won't be visiting your room in the dead of night, moaning about locks it can't pick...
- Paimon: Uh oh, we'd better make sure to lock all our doors and windows before we go to sleep tonight, (Traveler)!
- Lauma: Relax. That weasel's only a child, it means no harm. It's just... more talkative than most.
- Lauma: Alright, let's head back. It's almost time for dinner.
- Lauma: Oh, and we still need to figure out how to get this statue back to our library...
- Lauma: ...It seems like I'll need a little help from my friends after all.
- Answering Lauma's call, the animals emerge from the forest. With their help, the Lunar Semblance slowly makes its way to the library...
- Lauma: Just here will do.
- Paimon: Huh. That all went down without much fanfare. Paimon was expecting something exciting to happen once we put it down.
- Lauma: Hehe, well, it's just a plain old statue — a historical relic. It doesn't hold any kind of mystical power.
- Lauma: The real value lies in the stories behind it... My job is to dig those stories up wherever they might be hiding, verify them, and then share them with the people.
- Paimon: Cool! Well, it's a good thing we got it back here in one piece.
- Lauma: Indeed, and you two have my thanks for that. Please, take these fruits and quench your thirst — I had the animals gather them in the woods.
- (Lauma gestures to a plate of Midsommar Berries nearby)
- Lauma: And after that... Forgive me, but I have another request to make of you.
- Sure. What do you need?
- Lauma: I apologize if this is presumptuous of me, but I've seen how well-connected you are, and I've heard of your many travels into secret and forgotten places.
- Lauma: On your future travels, if you ever come across any texts about the Frostmoon Scions, could I borrow them and make a copy with which to enrich our library?
- Of course.
- I'll bring you whatever I find.
- Lauma: You have my sincere gratitude, on behalf of the Frostmoon Scions.
- I'm gonna get back to that fruit now...
- ...Hang on. Where'd all the fruit go!?
- Paimon: Hoo-boy, that was some seriously tasty fruit! Sooo much better than Paimon's used to.
- Lauma: Hehe. These animals have lived their whole lives in this forest. Naturally, they're the ones who know where to find the best fruit.
- Puffin: ♪
- Lauma: Hehe... This one says to eat as much as you wish, because it's the top fruit-finder in the whole forest. It'll fetch some more right away.
- Awesome. Thanks so much!
- Paimon: Awesome. Thanks so much!
Post-Quest Dialogue
Dialogue Set #1
- (Talk to Lauma at the library)
- Paimon: Hey Lauma, we're here to visit!
- Whoa, what happened here?
- ...This is a lot of stuff.
- Paimon: Yeah, boxes piled up everywhere, some of them opened up, loose items strewn all over the floor... Isn't this supposed to be a library?
- Seems more like a storeroom at this point.
- Are they doing some more renovations?
- Paimon: Look, Lauma's over there talking to a Weasel Thief... What are they plotting this time? Let's go see.
- Weasel Thief: ...
- Lauma: *sigh* Be that as it may, we don't have any urgent excavation work for you at the moment... So please, stop digging holes all over the place, alright?
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Lauma: That's a good child. Here, this Mora is for you.
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Paimon: That's the Weasel Thief from last time, right? What was Lauma saying? Have they found another relic?
- Lauma: Hello there, (Traveler), Paimon. Welcome to the library. Is there anything I can help you with?
- I saw you talking to the Weasel Thief.
- Have you found some more buried relics?
- Lauma: No. I was just giving the little one a bit of a stern warning. It's been getting a little overexcited lately, and it's starting to bother the community.
- Lauma: Its passion for treasure-hunting has only grown since we retrieved the Lunar Semblance... It comes to me all the time, asking when the next treasure hunt will be.
- Lauma: I keep repeating that we now have more than enough documents and relics in our library to occupy our research, but alas...
- It can't change its nature.
- It went off treasure-hunting on its own?
- Lauma: Yes. But it doesn't quite understand what constitutes a "relic," so it simply digs up anything that seems valuable and drops it off here.
- Lauma: It has at least promised me that it won't go digging around again, but there's already a big backlog of items from previous digs... There's no way around it. I'll just have to go through and sort them one by one.
- Lauma: Sorry, you two. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on your sightseeing today.
- Lauma: Phew... Now then, what's in this box again...?
- (Talk to Lauma again, optional)
- Lauma: Phew... Now then, what's in this box again...?

- (Talk to Lauma at the library)
- Lauma: Finally, some progress at last. Now to somehow put all these things back where they belong...
- This is quite an eclectic mix...
- Lauma: I know... There's petrified seeds of an ancient tree, fossilized animal bones, colorful stones...
- Lauma: ...Mora deposit boxes that people buried for safekeeping, wish-boxes, letters with photos enclosed...
- Sounds like it grabbed everything it could get its hands on!
- Lauma: Well, weasel thieves have a different perspective on value from us. It seems like this one just bagged anything and everything that grabbed its attention.
- Lauma: The seeds and rocks will be easy enough to deal with, but those storage boxes and wish-boxes will have been buried with the express purpose of digging them up at a later date.
- Will you need any help?
- Lauma: Thanks for the kind offer, but I've already engaged another, slightly more mature weasel thief to handle this. It will be in charge of moving all the items back to their original spots.
- Lauma: After all, the kid's heart was in the right place. Making it put everything back where it found it would break its poor little heart.
- Paimon: But won't the other weasel thief you hired tell the first one everything?
- Lauma: Hopefully not. The little one prefers to live on its own and act solo, so they're unlikely to meet.
- Lauma: It also has a short attention span. Give it half a month, and I'd be very surprised if it still remembers anything it dug up.
- You sure are an expert in animal behavior.
- And you understand their psychology, too.
- Lauma: I speak their language, and I've had the privilege of their company for a long time. It's only natural that I've come to understand them — no different from making friends.
- Lauma: By contrast, other people can't understand what animals are saying, so they're bound to make mistakes when trying to understand them.
- Lauma: That's why, in a lot of literature on the topic, phrases like "bestial nature" are rife with negative connotations, while "human nature" is seen in a more rounded light...
- Well, humans are the ones writing the books...
- They can't hear the animals' side of the story...
- Lauma: Heh... You're right. I'm sure those books would have turned out quite differently if they were written by a wolf or a rimehorn deer.
- Rimehorn Deer: ...
- Lauma: ...In any case, to me, "human nature" and "bestial nature" are both simply "nature."
- Lauma: Whether human or beast, all have moments of courage and of cowardice, times of both greed and rage...
- Puffin: ♪
- Lauma: We all rejoice in our successes and mourn our failures... These experiences are neither inherently human nor inherently animal. They are a part of our shared nature — a nature bestowed upon all living things by Mother Nature herself.
- Lauma: I do sometimes wonder whether the world around us might have turned out for the better if humans and animals could communicate with each other.
- Lauma: But I know it is but a fantastical idea that can never be.
- Lauma: Then there are those who reject nature, and turn their back on the natural way.
- Lauma: They are the wayward ones who do not hesitate to pull the trigger, even when they speak the same language as the object of their slaughter.
- Rimehorn Deer: ...
- Lauma: ...Yes, child. I know you can protect yourself, and that you are far fleeter of foot than they. Do not worry, no one shall harm you again.
- Lauma: Ah, how time flies. I should get back to sorting through that pile of treasure.
- Lauma: I should have enough time to get everything in order before the weasel thief arrives.
- (Talk to Lauma again, optional)
- Lauma: What do we have here...? Ah, that goes in this pile...

- (Talk to Lauma at the library)
- Weasel Thief: ♪
- Paimon: Oh, look, (Traveler). There's that weasel thief again, and it's standing right next to Lauma.
- Weasel Thief: !!!
- Paimon: Huh? It took off...
- Has it seen the error of its ways?
- Lauma: Come here, (Traveler). Our little friend asked me to pass this Mora on to you.
- Paimon: Eh? Why would a weasel thief give (Traveler) its Mora?
- Lauma: As I said, it greatly admires your treasure-hunting abilities, and wishes to join you in unearthing every treasure chest in this world.
- Lauma: Consider this its "deposit."
- Wait, so it was serious?
- Lauma: When Mora is involved, a weasel thief never lies.
- Lauma: Keep it safe. This coin represents an agreement between you and the weasel thieves... or at least, this weasel thief.
- Digging up treasure's just a side gig for me...
- I'm not actually a professional in this field...
- Lauma: I wouldn't worry. I know I said it's an "agreement," but I believe it just wants to make friends with you.
- Lauma: It didn't know what kind of gift you'd like, so it chose to give you its favorite thing.
- ...
- I'll take good care of it.
- Lauma: Please do. If you're interested in taking up the offer, leave some Dried Lakkaberries by your pillow when you get home. It's very fond of those.
- Lauma: Not too many, of course. It might struggle to burrow its way home if it eats too much.
- (Talk to Lauma again, optional)
- Lauma: If you're interested in taking up the offer, leave some Dried Lakkaberries by your pillow when you get home. It's very fond of those.

- (Talk to Lauma at the library)
- Lauma: This book belongs... here, I think. Huh, there's one missing. That's strange...
- Lauma: Hmm, claw marks on the shelf. And feathers...
- Lauma: I bet one of the puffins took it to use as a cushion again. Ah, those little rascals...
- Puffin: ...
- Lauma: I need you to head back into the woods and see if anyone has a book in their nest.
- Lauma: If you find it, please bring it back. And tell whoever took it that they can come to me if they'd like a cushion to sit on.
- Puffin: ♪
- Lauma: Phew... We need to make some more cushions... I think we're going to need everyone's help.

- Lauma: There, all better. Next time, if it's too heavy — don't try and lift it.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: ...Acting tough isn't going to solve anything. Now, if you injure yourself again, or if there's an emergency, you know where to find me, okay?
- Longplume Ibis: ...
- Lauma: Off you go, now. Oh, actually, one moment...
- Lauma: Take this twig. I picked it up by the roadside. It seems nice and sturdy.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
- Lauma: Of course. And do tell your friends that they're always welcome here if they need a warm place to stay — I know the weather's been quite cold lately.
- Longplume Ibis: ♪
