'''Malta:''' It was just another day in the city of lies. Baldur's Gate - where the people begged for justice until they starved. Two heroes were fated to cross paths that day. Their eyes met. Destiny was calling... | |||
* {{dopt|'''Player''': And they both answered}} | |||
* | ** '''Malta:''' Strangers? Only in a fool's definition of the word. | ||
** It was the start of something incredible—two heroes on the hunt for justice, no matter the cost. | |||
** All the tall one had to do was say yes. | |||
* {{dopt|'''Player''': Excuse me?}} | |||
** '''Malta:''' Destiny is a fickle mistress. She showers you in riches one day and kicks you into the gutter the next. But today, she smiles. | |||
** This could be the beginning of something. Two heroes against the world, enacting justice for those unable to seek their own. | |||
** All the tall one had to do was say yes. | |||
* {{dopt|'''Player''': Are you all right...?}} | |||
** '''Malta:''' It was in the tall one's voice: they knew they cared about this creature but they didn't know why. But the cat did. | |||
** This could be the beginning of something. Two heroes against the world, enacting justice for those unable to seek their own. | |||
** All the tall one had to do was say yes. | |||
*** {{dopt|'''Player''': I don't think I'm the partner for you—but Derryth Bonecloak be<sup>''[sic]''</sup> just who you're looking for.}} | |||
**** '''Malta:''' The tall one volunteered another—the apothecary. A principled dwarf—a scritcher of heads, and a giver of scraps. | |||
**** Perhaps this was where the journey was meant to start after all... | |||
*** {{dopt|'''Player''': Yes! Join me!}} | |||
**** '''Malta:''' The tall one had failed the first test: they lacked caution. The cat could have just as easily been a foe as a potential friend. | |||
**** Perhaps it was simply not meant to be... | |||
*** {{dopt|'''Player''': Sorry - our destines aren't meant to intertwine.}} | |||
**** '''Malta:''' The tall one had passed the first test. The second would come when they were ready - and not before. | |||
**** When would they be ready? Only the tall one - and fate - truly knew. | |||
{{dcond|When spoken to again}} | |||
* '''Malta:''' Upon their return, the cat couldn't help but wonder whether the tall one had finally decided how their die would be cast. | |||
{{dopt|When spoken to again at Bonecloak's Apothecary}} | |||
* '''Malta:''' The cat beheld the one who'd delivered him from the streets while taking on the heavy burden of justice alone. He purred. | |||
