Dialogue
(340) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: Will you people listen now? The Great Mudclaw lurks about! It was only going to be a matter of time before it claimed a victim!1)
→ (341)
(341) Fisherman Borre: Will you ease off it?! Don't you see how much pain this news has caused Ashlyn?
→ (350)
(350) Villager Ashlyn: He was only looking for a secret fishing spot…! He didn't deserve this…!
→ (342)
(342) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I sympathize with her pain, I do… but it was inevitable someone was going to end up hurt! At least now you must see the truth in my words! Action must be taken - The Great Mudclaw must be vanquished!
What in the world is 'The Great Mudclaw'? → (343)
How do you presume to know what happened to the dead fisherman? → (346)
I'm known to vanquish great beasts, for a reward of course. → (348)
(343) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: Why, a mutant crab with a colossal form! It has eyes gleaming like obsidian orbs reflecting a mean, primal intelligence! Its massive pincers can crush river boats with ease, let alone poor fishermen! Its insatiable appetite capable of devouring entire shoals of fish, leaving men in despair!
→ (344)
(346) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I've been trying to tell people for some time now, but nobody listens! They only laugh, 'oh, there goes crazy Torwald again'! Well who's laughing now, eh?!
→ (347)
(348) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I will ask the other villagers to pool together a reward, ancestors willing they'll take me more seriously now. We must be rid of this terrible beast at any cost! Please, bring us back its pincer claw as proof of its demise.
I'll need to know where to find the beast first, though. → (349)
(344) Fisherman Borre: But it's a local myth, nothing but tall fishermen's tales told at night in taverns alongside a mug of ale…
→ (345)
(347) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: As a younger lad I saw the beast with me own eyes! Since then it must've only grown further. What else would be capable of smashing our boats, breaking our nets, stealing our catch from the barrels, eh? I knew at first it is the beast! But who'd believe 'crazy old Torwald's' tales?
'The Great Mudclaw', but what is it really? → (343)
I'm known to vanquish great beasts, for a reward of course. → (348)
(349) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I might have an idea about that. Where did you find the corpse of our Fisherman Jonathan? I'm willing to wager the beast's lair ain't far behind. I bid you good luck, champion!
Very well. Updates Dead Fishermen Tell Tall Tales to phase 3. → (0)
(345) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: A myth and a tale is it, that left your friend in a brutalized heap on the river shore, eh?!

(355) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I'm asking the villagers to pool together a reward, ancestors willing they'll take me more seriously now! I implore you, champion - rid our village of this monster that is The Great Mudclaw.2)

I'll do my best. → (0)
(360) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: Jonathan's death finally opened the other villagers' eyes to the danger that has been lurking so near to their peaceful homes. They agreed the monster must be slain.3)
I've avenged his death, and return with the beast's claw to prove it. → (361)
Leave. → (0)
(361) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: This will bring immense relief to the village, and perhaps closure to the grieving widow as well. They went off to give the poor man a proper burial. Hopefully now the villagers will also stop seeing me as just a kooky old man.
How come you knew about it in the first place, you said you'd seen it? → (362)
What's behind the monster's name, the mudclaw? → (364)
And hopefully now the 'champion' will also be rewarded for his efforts. → (365)
(362) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: I saw it a couple of decades ago already. While out in the forest, fishing, a trading boat was sailing down the river from Thornhill. Out of nowhere, the pincers of the great crab snatched the barge and tore it to pieces, taking the merchant down to the depths with it!
→ (363)
(364) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: The Great Mudclaw I called it! For once I had seen the beast, I saw it's colossal claws caked by the hardened mud from the river's depths, making them appear only more menacing!
So you actually saw the beast yourself? → (362)
Hopefully now the 'champion' will also be rewarded for his efforts. → (365)
(365) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: Upon seeing the hideous wounds on Fisherman Jonathan, the villagers were eager to chip in for a bounty. The widow also asked me to hand you something on her behalf, a fine bracelet in return for avenging her departed husband. And on behalf of the whole village, I thank you mighty adventurer!
Completes Dead Fishermen Tell Tall Tales quest. → (0)
(363) Torwald the Retired Fisherman: But no one would believe my word then either! Sometimes there would be other 'incidents', but the beast struck rarely enough and folk always found alternative explanations for what happened.
