[edit] Initial dialogue

Archivist Ithimar

Hello there! Am I ever glad to see you. I was out here trying to transcribe some of the images engraved on these ruins and...well, normally this is such a trivial task...but this time, whenever I begin, shadowy Nightmares emerge from the ground and drive me away.

You appear to be a capable <Profession>. Could you keep the Nightmares away while I finish my work?

 Accept: "I'll watch your back."

 Decline: "You're on your own."

 Ask: "Hold those Nightmares off a bit longer. I'm almost finished!"

[edit] Reward dialogue

Archivist Ithimar

Many thanks, my friend! I'm not sure why those infernal creatures were so intent on keeping me from transcribing those images, but I can't wait to return to my workshop and begin deciphering them.
