Dialogs:

NPC:/dialogue Father! Father! I've returned!

NPC:/surprise Isan? My son! Is it really you?

NPC:/happy Yes, Father. See for yourself.

NPC:/angry But... you've been missing for almost a year! And now you turn up in a puff of smoke? You're the crown prince of East Ishvara! What were you thinking? Do you know how worried we all were?

NPC:/bow Father, I swear to you this was no fault of mine. Let me explain...

NPC:/quarrel Lord Asaji invited me to dinner one evening to discuss my future as the prince. But little did I know, he had laced the tea with some strange foreign poison!

NPC:/angry I was changed into a frog on the spot. Asaji ordered one of his henchmen to throw me in a sack and take me far from the kingdom.

NPC:/dialogue I spent many months as a frog, hiding from wild animals and trying to survive. Soon my old life seemed like a distant, happy dream. In truth, for a time I nearly lost my mind.

NPC:/contend But then this kind adventurer found me, and kept me safe from harm! I slowly recovered my ability to speak, and began to remember the life I had lost.

NPC:/dialogue But when I saw you in person, everything came crashing back to me in a rush. I remembered who I was, and the curse was broken!

NPC:/fact Lord Asaji did this? My poor boy... how could I be so blind?

NPC:/angry He has clearly lost all sense of right and wrong. The kingdom isn't safe in his hands. We must return to the capital and deal with him at once!

NPC:/contend I agree, father. But we must be cautious. Who knows how powerful Asaji has grown during your long retreat from court.

NPC:/nod You're right. We will need to plan our next moves carefully. But with you at my side, I am not afraid. Together we will return to Veroe, and drive that coward from the tower!

NPC:/prayer As for you, @PC_NAME(0), I cannot thank you enough for keeping me safe. You may not have known who I was, but I am still in your debt for protecting me during my weakened state.

NPC:/fact Indeed! With my son missing, I hadn't realized how far I'd let things slip here in Hasla. Thank you, adventurer. You have returned my heart to me, as well as my people's hope for the future.
