Hmm. From my keen observations, it appears this isn't th'Shore anymore.

So where th'heck are we? I'm likin' this place better already. Smells like it actually has a kitchen.

Where's everybody at? Oi, talkin' to you specifically, Renna. Gods know how well y'can get lost here.

No sir, although the lake isn't far off. I believe we're in a keep! A rather nice one, at that.

[Nice, if you don't count how deadly the forest is.]

Is this your first day here?

[Audio]

[thenotmagician]

Alright, so we're inna keep. Whatever that is.

And why yes, it is. Nice ta meet ya. I'm Zeke. Ezekiel Lerish.

[Audio]

[doctoral_bird]

E-Er, well a keep is a sort of place that one could take refuge-...in- not quite a castle but- well-...

[Not a very good explanation, really. Ah well.]

Oh! Well, welcome! My name's Malkus Iverwelling and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Audio]

[thenotmagician]

[Well, as long as there aren't any dragons in this castle keep thing, he's all for it.]

Right. So, what th'heck are we doin' here for? 'Cause I wasn't exactly expectin' to wake up in a stone building. Someone decide to take pity on us poor Elegante folk?

[Audio]

[doctoral_bird]

[Nope, just GIANT MONSTERS.]

W-Well I'm not sure if we're expected to do much other than simply wait. There's plenty to do here in the mean time. I mean, we've been brought here while the world is- well-...Hm. Oh! There's a note. In your journal. From the lord of this keep, did you read it? It explains a bit, I think..

Ele-gante?

[That must be the name of his village or something.]

P-Perhaps, heh.

[Audio]

[thenotmagician]

Elegante was a boat. A big boat.

[Oh. Hrm. A note.

...

Okay. Well. If Renna doesn't contact him by the end of the day he might start to panic a little but for now OPTIMISM?]

[Audio]

[doctoral_bird]

Oh! Well I'm sure it was wonderful. I've never been out at sea, but I think I'd quite enjoy it.

[Who lives on a boat? Pirates? Is this man a pirate like that Jack fellow?]

I'm sure you'll soon find yourself right at home here. I think I've heard others mention that name, actually!

[Audio]

[thenotmagician]

[That gives him some hope then!]

Well, you're not missin' much. Just lots and lots of water.

[Audio]

[doctoral_bird]

Mmm. Perhaps. I don't see myself as much of a swimmer either..

[Obviously this means Malkus should take a boat far out into the center of the lake. What's the worst that can happen?]

Well, if you ever need anything I'd be happy to help, friend. Anyway to get someone adjusted to their new surroundings 'n whatnot!

Haha. S'funny. I'm so used ta sayin' that to other people. But thanks. I'll keep that in mind if I run into a tight spot.
