Relationship Level 5
I got to say, I've started to look forward to our little chats at the market. Can't say there's many around Sun Haven I feel the same way about. Good to know there's at least someone worth talking to whenever I wheel my cart into town. Thanks for being a cut above, [Player]>

Dialogue
Introduction
When speaking to Rex for the first time in a new game:
Hello there! I'm Rex. I know all there is to know about digging underground.
Player:
Hi Rex, I'm [Player]. Did you say, underground?
That's right! I'm a traveling merchant selling all the mining gear you need.
General Dialogue
General non-conversational dialogue between Rex and the player. If there is a seasonal token at the end of the dialogue, it means the player can only see that dialogue during that season.
:"Looking for tools? I'm always open! Erm, except for when I'm closed of course."
:"Ah, another cave-diving enthusiast? Join the club! That's just a saying, there isn't really a club."
:"There's nothing like the thrill of entering a cavern for the first time."
:"My name means "king." I don't think a lot of kings spend their time in the mines, though."
:"Can you believe that some people have never set foot underground? Honest!"
Conversations
Cycle 1
:
Grammy told me Sun Haven was a nice town. Once again, she was right!
Player:
What made you choose to be a miner?
:
Mines are where I'm the most comfortable - I'd rather be underground than above ground most of the time. But you can't sell your wares where people can't see you.
Player:
You're like a mole!
:
Haha! That's a good one! I'm definitely a mole.
Player:
You don't ever feel uncomfortable underground?
:
Not as long as I've got light. It's nice and cozy down there with all the rocks. Rocks are our oldest friends!
Player:
Grammy?
:
Grammy, Grams, Mee-Maw, Grandma! I owe her a lot. She's the one that supported my dream of being a traveling merchant in the first place.
Player:
Isn't she worried about your safety, traveling so much? -1 Points
:
Oh gosh, do you think I'm worrying her? I should send her a letter.
Player:
Grammys are the best. Everyone should be close with their "mee-maw." +2 Points
:
I agree completely! Our elders need to be cherished.
Cycle 2
:
Hello again! Spare time for a chat?
Player:
Have you been to the caves around here?
:
Oh, of course. They're fantastic, full of useful ore and beautiful rock formations. I haven't had the chance to get all the way through them, but that's my first goal before I move on to the next town.
Player:
All the way to the bottom? Is that possible?
:
Of course! I like to say, anything is possible with perseverance and rations. It helps me remember to pack enough food.
Player:
You take this really seriously!
:
Of course! I can't claim to be the best miner in the world without conquering every mine. For now I just say I'm "almost" the best miner in the world, but that doesn't sound as impressive.
Player:
What do you do when you're not underground?
:
For fun, I like to relax in whatever tavern is nearest. Taverns, pubs, watering holes - these places keep me from getting lonely on the road.
Player:
You're a nice guy. I bet you make lots of friends! +2 Points
:
That's mighty nice of you to say! Sometimes it's less about making friends and just about being around people. Too much time underground and sometimes I forget there's a whole world up here!
Player:
Nobody makes real friends in a tavern. -1 Points
:
Maybe not with that attitude. Even if they're just your pal for a night, it's nice to make conversation - even with strangers.
Cycle 3
:
Whew. Hot out here, or is it just me?
Player:
Is it hard being a traveling merchant?
:
Is it HARD? Well, it ain't easy. I'm not the young man I used to be, either. Not to mention the roads aren't as safe as they used to be. Monsterfolk rumors, thugs running around the forests... All things considered, life is pretty tough for us traveling merchants. No wonder that Anne girl has settled down here. She's smart.
Player:
I could be your body guard.
:
Now that's an idea, [Player]. But let's get real, you have your own duties to worry about. Let me worry about my business, alright?
Player:
Why don't you settle down like Anne?
:
Hmm. I could... but where's the fun in that? Better to be free and on the road than tied down and safe. I'm sure even Anne would agree with that, despite her choice to settle.
Player:
Do you have any family?
:
Eh... I had some. A brother, a sister. They started their own families and moved off to I-forget-just-where. Me? I'm too busy on the road. No family for this man, nope.
Player:
Aw come on, Sun Haven is your family! <+2 Points
:
Bah, go on! You're going to make me shed a tear if you keep it up, bahaha!
Player:
That's very sad. -1 Points
:
Who are you to judge, eh? I like my life just how it is.
