Dialogue

Introduction

When speaking to Solon for the first time in a new game:

	You're who's taking that land? Hm. Thought you'd be bigger.
Player:		... Thanks? My name's [Player].
		Pleasure. Call me Solon. If you need some new gear, you come right to me.

General Dialogue

General non-conversational dialogue between Solon 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.

:"Hey, farmer. You'll need to build some muscle if you're going to tame that land."

:"Feel free to take my minecart into the mines. Just don't forget to bring it back."

:"You ever been so far down a mineshaft, you forget which way is up?"

:"Come on by if you need some armor or weapons - nobody makes 'em like I do."

:"Lynn has a lot of raw talent, but talent is worthless without discipline."

Conversations

Cycle 1
:	Farmer.
Player:		How did you become a master blacksmith?
:		A lifetime of putting iron to the forge will do that. Anyway, can't be any kind of blacksmith before you've got an anvil. Have you made yourself one?
Player:			Of course I have.
:				Then you're ready to make your own gear, which means you need ore. Take the minecart into the mines to get some ore. Go on, put that pickaxe I gave you to work.
Player:			Of course I have... not.
:				You'll need ore to craft one. Take the minecart into the mines to get some ore. Go on, grab yourself a pickaxe and put it to good use.
Player:		You have a reputation as a tough teacher.
:		You're darn right, I do. You don't learn discipline by being coddled.
Player:			Hard work is the best teacher there is. +2 Points
:				That's right. Sounds like the farm fell into capable hands.
Player:			What if you tried a more positive teaching strategy? -1 Points
:				More positive? The only thing I'm positive about is this - you're a total ninny.

Cycle 2
:	Hey, farmer. Your face is looking a little sun-kissed.
Player:		What do you do when you're not working the forge?
:		What's it matter to you?
Player:			I was just asking.
:				Hm. I walk around Sun Haven, get some clean air in my lungs. Then I go home. Is that what you wanted to know?
Player:			I guess it doesn't.
:				Hm. I walk around Sun Haven, get some clean air in my lungs. Then I go home. Is that what you wanted to know?
Player:		Have you heard of Withergate?
:		The monster city, yeah I've heard of it. Haven't seen it though. Can't be sure anyone has.
Player:			Aren't you worried about it? -1 Points
:				What are you, some kind of sissy? Get your act together.
Player:			No sense in worrying, then. +2 Points
:				Yep, that's how I see it. Even if there is a city of monsters out there, they don't seem to care much about us.

Cycle 3
:	Is that what you're wearing for armor? You should upgrade if you're expecting trouble.
Player:		How would I upgrade my armor?
:		You've got two options. The first is to put work into your smelter and anvil and make it yourself. The second is to bring me the gold to make it for you.
Player:			I'll make it myself. +2 Points
:				Good for you, kid. Don't quit working at it. You only get better with practice, you know.
Player:			I can't make it as well as you. -1 Points
:				Not yet you can't. One day, who knows? You only get better with practice, you know.
Player:		Have you seen Elios?
:		Of course I have. I've lived here all my life, haven't I?
Player:			Are you upset that he didn't give you his blessing?
:				That's not something to get upset about. Making a fuss because you weren't given a gift? That's behaving like a child.
Player:			What did he say to you?
:				I don't remember it word for word. It was some time back, now. It might've been, "As a newborn dragon breaks from the egg, your future will be born of flame." Have to say, he hit the nail on the head with that one.

Cycle 4
:	Good to see you, farmer. You're putting on some muscle. About time.
Player:		I guess I am a little stronger these days.
:		Wear your muscles with pride, kid. They're the trophies of your hard work.
Player:			Calling your muscles trophies is kind of silly. -1 Points
:				You think it's silly to work your hands raw for three decades? I didn't think so.
Player:			I don't like to gloat. +2 Points
:				Heh, well that's good. But I'm not telling you to gloat. You can be proud of yourself and humble to others at the same time. I don't call myself a master, but I don't deny it either. Just keep working hard, kid.
Player:		What's the most difficult job you ever took?
:		Most difficult? Hm. Guess it must've been about a year back. Customer walks in wanting mithril armor - for her bird. Guess she trained some kind of eagle to follow her into battle.
Player:			What did you do?
:				Fulfilled the order, of course. I had to make it a loose chain mail so it'd be light enough, but we got that bird covered head to claw in mithril.
Player:			Is it even possible to make armor for a bird?
:				It is if you know your metal. I had to make it a loose chain mail so it'd be light enough, but we got that bird covered head to claw in mithril.
