(600) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: It all just happened so fast…¹⁾

What now? → (601)

Leave. → (0)

(601) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Hm? Oh, sorry stranger. I was lost in deep thought. Happens to me a lot lately. Shouldn't be surprising I guess, seeing as I witnessed all my friends die just the other morning…

Woah, what happened? → (602)

I'm sorry to hear that… → (0)

(602) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: We worked the Sallowstone Mine, near those old Greywall ruins everyone says are haunted. Was a day like any other, we'd all just walked inside, ready to start, is when I remember I'd forgot to bring my lunch…

→ (603)

(603) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: So I run off to retrieve it and, so… out of nowhere this shockwave just runs through the land. No idea what's caused it, but as I get back on my feet and turn, I see the mine behind me… only it's completely collapsed, almost everyone I know buried within…

You were the only survivor? → (609)

I'm so sorry, I'll leave you to it… → (604)

(609) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Yeah, I was… and now I get to feel guilty for it for the rest of my life, I reckon…

I'm so sorry, I'll leave you to it… → (604)

(604) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Wait, erm… you're not afraid of death, are you stranger? See, it's not the collapse of the mine that has me as bothered as what's happened after. My friends, they didn't go peacefully, understand?

→ (605)

(605) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Soon after the mine collapsed they sprang up as ghosts, I couldn't believe my eyes! I tried to talk to them of course, but they were, erm… confused-like, not friendly at all. Erm, dare I ask you give it a go?

Why, what do you expect them to say? → (606)

Where should I look for this mine? → (607)

If I come across them, I can certainly try. → (608)

(606) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Well I dunno, but I want my friends to be at peace - it's what they deserve. It's not normal for folk to turn into angry ghosts as they die, you know. If they'd just tell what it is they want, we could appease them, let them pass onto their world in the Dream.

Where should I look for this mine? → (607)

Sure, I'll give it a try. → (608)

(607) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: The Sallowstone Mine is where we worked… It's in the woods, when you follow the road due east from the village entrance. I'll mark it on your map…

What do you expect ghosts to say? → (606)

Sure, I'll give it a try. → (608)

(608) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: It is much appreciated. Wish I could do it myself, but you look much more able to deal with angry ghosts than I. Please let me know if you find out what they want.

Updates Echoes of Suffering to phase 1. → (0)

(615) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Greetings to you again. Have you spoken to the ghosts of my friends down at the mine? Do you know what they want?²⁾

I spoke with the ghosts, but I only made them upset. → (621)

Where should I look for the mine and your dead friends? → (622)

Tell me again, what happened to them? → (616)

What are you expecting the ghosts to say? → (620)

I don't know yet. → (0)

(621) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Oh… well thank you for trying anyway, stranger. I know the work was dangerous, so here's a few coins for your trouble. +150 coins

Gives 150 Coins. → (623)

(622) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: The Sallowstone Mine is where we worked… It's in the woods, when you follow the road due east from the village entrance. I'll mark it on your map…

What are you expecting the ghosts to say? → (620)

I should go. → (0)

(616) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: We worked the Sallowstone Mine, you see, near those old Greywall ruins everyone says are haunted. Was a day like any other, we'd all just walked inside, ready to start, is when I remember I'd forgot to bring my lunch…

→ (618)

I've heard enough… → (0)

(623) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: But I still can't help feeling like there's something we must be able to do…! Perhaps what we need is an expert. There's a priesthood that knows about all matters of life beyond death. I've heard one of them keeps service at the old shrine north of Haywind.

→ (624)

(618) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: As though that wasn't the worst thing, my friends didn't pass peacefully… Couldn't believe my eyes, but they soon sprang up as ghosts. I tried to talk to them of course, but they were, erm… confused-like, not friendly at all.

You were the only survivor? → (619)

(624) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: If you come by him on your travels, please speak to him about what's happened here - he must know how to help.

Very well. Updates Echoes of Suffering to phase 3. → (0)

(619) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Yeah, I was… and now I get to feel guilty for it for the rest of my life, I reckon…

(645) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Can't just abandon them to their fate. Can't imagine what it's like being stuck here as a ghost after death.³⁾

You wanted me to seek out a priest? → (650)

Tell me again, what happened to your friends? → (646)

Nevermind. → (0)

(650) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: If anyone knows how to appease the souls of the dead, it's that Priesthood of the Sleeping Souls. I've heard one among their ranks maintains a service at an old shrine north of Haywind. Maybe you could ask his opinion when you happen to travel in his direction?

Tell me again, what happened to your friends? → (646)

I can try. → (0)

(646) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: We worked the Sallowstone Mine, you see, near those old Greywall ruins everyone says are haunted. Was a day like any other, we'd all just walked inside, ready to start, is when I remember I'd forgot to bring my lunch…

You wanted me to seek out a priest? → (650)

Sorry, I should go. → (0)

(655) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Greetings to you again. Did you seek out the priest? Is there any hope for the ghosts of my friends?⁴⁾

Perhaps… together with the priest we created a lantern to soothe dead spirits. → (656)

I'm working on it… → (0)

(656) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: So there is hope! That is welcome news, I knew the priest would know what to do! Well, have you tried it, the lantern - does it work?

I'll let you know as soon as I've returned to the mine. → (0)

(749) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: You're back! Tell me, did the priest's lantern work? Were you able to put my friends back to rest?⁵⁾⁶⁾

Quite, I think I've appeased the ghosts of your friends. → (751)

Leave. → (0)

(751) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: That's good, that's really good to hear. Such a great shame what happened. Foreman Samuel was greatly respected, poor Elizabeth and Will were about to start a family, and that young lad Benjamin - why, his whole life ahead of him… others too, o'course… may their souls rest eternally in the Dream, eh?

Strange thing, when I spoke to Elizabeth she, erm… became possessed by another ghost. → (752)

I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

(752) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: That doesn't sound good, not good at all… Well, did the ghost say who it was, or what it wanted?

She wasn't making a lot of sense, but it seemed upset that I'd helped the ghosts of your friends. → (753)

No, but I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

I'm not sure… → (0)

(757) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: That's sound advice, I'll make sure to spread it around the village. You've been mighty helpful. Hope we get to see you around here more often.

Farewell, prospector. → (758)

(753) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Hrm… I don't know much about ghosts, but I know this; they don't spring up for no reason. And there've been rumors of a darkness roaming the halls of Greywall for decades - the ruins that still sit out there in the woods to the east. Mark my words, friend - you've met the Ghost of Greywall.

The Ghost of Greywall? → (756)

What do you know of Greywall? → (754)

You think this Greywall is somehow related to the ghosts at the mine? → (755)

Anyway, I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

Anyway, I should go. → (0)

(758) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: *Although the situation at the collapsed mine is resolved for now, you can't help but wonder about the meeting with the mysterious ghost. Perhaps Brother Augustus at the river shrine might offer an opinion on it.*

Completes Echoes of Suffering quest. → (0)

(756) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Yeah, I mean look… nobody rightly knows what's going on in Greywall's ruins, but everyone knows there's something there. And whatever it is, I reckon you've just come face to face with it.

So what do you know about Greywall? → (754)

And you think it's related to the ghosts at the mine? → (755)

Anyway, I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

Anyway, I should go. → (0)

(754) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Personally? Not much, but everyone with a lick of sense knows to keep away from it. It's haunted, and not in the way of old wives' tales either, but for real. People who go in, they never come back.

And you think it's related to the ghosts at the mine? → (755)

Haunted, by the Ghost of Greywall? → (756)

Anyway, I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

Anyway, I should go. → (0)

(755) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Must be, I mean what else could it be? Everyone knows its reputation, and like I keep sayin', ghosts don't pop out of nowhere for no reason.

So you think something haunts Greywall? → (756)

What do you know of Greywall anyway? → (754)

Anyway, I'd suggest people keep their distance from the mines for a while… → (757)

Anyway, I should go. → (0)

(750) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Ah, it's been a while since I heard from you. Did you seek out the priest? Was he able to help?⁷⁾⁸⁾

Quite, I think I've appeased the ghosts of your friends. → (751)

Leave. → (0)

(760) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Glad to see you again. Can't thank you enough for your help with the ghosts of my dead friends. They didn't deserve to die, let alone remain stuck here as ghosts.⁹⁾

One of the ghosts, Elizabeth, she erm… became possessed by another ghost when I spoke with her. → (752)

Remind me, what happened down Sallowstone Mine? → (761)

Indeed. → (0)

(761) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Well, we worked there, me and my mates from the village. Was a day like any other, really… we'd all just walked inside, ready to start, is when I remember I'd forgot to bring my lunch…

→ (762)

Nevermind… → (0)

(762) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: So I run off to retrieve it and… out of nowhere this shockwave just runs through the land. No idea what's caused it, but as I get back on my feet and turn, I see the mine behind me… only it's completely collapsed, almost everyone I know buried within…

→ (764)

Nevermind… → (0)

(764) Phillip Arden, the Prospector: Thankfully, as we know, you helped them move on. It's not a fate they would've deserved, not sure anyone deserves it for that matter. The dead are entitled to their rest.
