Resuming Dialogue

One of the following dialogue lines will play when loading into the first battle of the map after the opening dialogue, as well as the prologue after Day 2:

Wei Feng: I was fortunate to live to an old age, and see my children and grandchildren grow strong.
Wei Feng: Then why do I look like this? This form reminds me of the rurning point, when I started to be more than a smug braggart.
Wei Feng: Also, I was never in better shape! Ha!

Wei Feng: Golems are fascinating creatures. They are infused with magic to take on the form of living beings.
Wei Feng: Some are crafted from inanimate objects, others are more organic in nature.
Wei Feng: Their behavior depends entirely on the nature of the sorcerer who created them - some are protectors, others are used for more nefarious purposes.

Daily Dialogue

Day 1
Battle	Dialogue
Pre	Wei Feng: Hmmm, You and I have journeyed to many places, but this place is steeped in magic and memories. Wei Feng: I can feel the energy in the very air! It looks like you and I are destined for another adventure. Wei Feng: Together, perhaps we can hone our strength to even greater heights, and grow stronger on our journey. Wei Feng: Let us go forward, and see what battle brings!
1	Wei Feng: As a young man, I was an incredible fighter. I had a great deal of confidence in my skills. Wei Feng: I traveled the lands and defeated all those who would challenge me. Wei Feng: I became utterly convinced of my invincibility... and was sure to let everyone know it.
2	Wei Feng: I admit... when I look back at myself during my youth, I am filled with deep shame. Wei Feng: I craved adulation - I demanded it! I fought only to demonstrate my own brilliance. Wei Feng: But there was no-one who could defeat me, no blade sharp enough to deflate my ego.
3	Wei Feng: One moonlit evening, I was in a village tavern, where I was bragging to an adoring audience. Wei Feng: I boasted of my latest victories, and mocked my defeated rivals. Wei Feng: I proclaimed that I was 'Wei Feng the Invincible' and that no one and nothing could defeat me.
4	Wei Feng: That fateful evening would prove to be my greatest humiliation - and ultimately, my salvation. Wei Feng: An old man tapped me on the shoulder. I assumed he wanted to congratulate and flatter me. Wei Feng: Instead, he challenged me to a battle!
5	Wei Feng: When the old man challenged me, I laughed at him. I thought it was hilarious. Wei Feng: Here was this tiny, frail old man, challenging me, Wei Feng the Invincible! Wei Feng: I turned away, laughing. Surely he was jesting? Even in my arrogance, I had no desire to humiliate an elder.
6	Wei Feng: When I rejected the old man's challenge, he nodded. Wei Feng: Then he looked straight into my eyes, and chuckled. I thought that confirmed he was joking. Wei Feng: Instead, he said, "Perhaps you are not as skilled as you think you are, if you are scared of an old man".
7	Wei Feng: When the old man accused me of being afraid, of lacking skill... I was outraged. Wei Feng: Who was he to judge me! I was Wei Feng! I should have realized from the look in his eyes that I was in trouble. Wei Feng: I ungraciously accepted this challenge. He said that I could buy him a meal if I lost.
8	Wei Feng: As our fight began, I resolved to go easy on the old man. He had no such reservations. Wei Feng: I fought brilliantly, but I was no match for him. His speech, his technique - flawless. Wei Feng: As I lay exhausted in the dust, the old man helped me up and patted me on the shoulder, as if I was a child. Wei Feng: I bowed deeply, and apologized for my earlier disrespect. I begged him to take me as a student. Wei Feng: He once again chuckled, and said, "Of course. But first... dinner!"
9	Wei Feng: I trained for many years with the old man. He remade me, and named me 'Wei Feng the Improved'. Wei Feng: We traveled far and wide, and I learned about many peoples and their ways. Wei Feng: Instead of using my skills purely to boost my reputation, I began to protect those who needed it. Wei Feng: Including against this creature here. It was wandering around Mirefen when I defeated it, long before your time. Wei Feng: Beware its Blinding Light! It can inflict numerous terrible effects on its victims. Wei Feng: Certain potions, or an ally who can dispel, may be of assistance.
10	Wei Feng: And as in my life, Kummakivi Rex is defeated!

Day 2
Battle	Dialogue
Prologue	'Bayani: Wei Feng! My friend! Is this one of your 'glorious victories'? Wei Feng: Ah, Bayani! Bayani here met me when I was- Bayani:-an idiot? Wei Feng: I can't argue with that, heh. Bayani: Excellent fighter, though. I challenged him when he came to my village. Bayani: He flattened me! In my defense, I was only twelve years old. Wei Feng: In my defense, he was really annoying!
1	Wei Feng: Bayani and I would meet again, many years later- Bayani: -after he'd been beaten up by an old man- Wei Feng: -after I had been show the error of my ways by my master! Bayani: His master was sooo old. Like, ancient- Wei Feng: Ahem! I barely recognized Bayani. He was no longer a scrawny child. He challenged me again! Wei Feng: Our battle was interrupted by a Golem native to Bayani's homeland- Bayani: -I was winning though- Wei Feng: No, you weren't. ANYWAY, we joined forces to take the Golem down, and were friends from that point.
2	Wei Feng: We never did finish our battle, did we? Bayani: The one I was winning? Wei Feng: You wish, young one! Anyway, you throw rocks at people... Bayani: And? IT's called geomancy! It's a powerful fighting technique! Wei Feng: It's cheating! Bayani: HA HA HA HA! Just because you can't do it, doesn't make it cheating. Wei Feng: I don't need to. I have all the power I need in my fists and feet!
3	Doctor Flox: Ah, a fellow connoisseur of Golem battles! I am Doctor Flox. Doctor Flox: I have many questions about your experiences versus out inanimate friends! Doctor Flox: Tell me, is it true you just punch them? Wei Feng: Sometimes I kick them as well. Doctor Flox: Incredible! Let me take notes. Ad... you enjoyed this? Wei Feng: I still feel the thrill of a battle well fought, but my main reward is seeing innocents protected. Doctor Flox: Even with no explosions? Not even a slight... boom? No inferno of bright flames? Wei Feng: Look at the time! We need to go into battle. With no explosions. Or flames. Goodbye, Doctor!
4	Zoe: Wei Feng! Still journeying, I see! Wei Feng: Zoe! I didn't expect to see you here! Zoe: Why not? I'm a Hero! Did you doubt my- Wei Feng: No! No, not at all! I just meant - you're an Alfar, I thought your kind were... Zoe: Ah, immortal? I was only ever part Alfar. I got the wings and an extended lifespan, but ultimately, time was an enemy I couldn't defeat. Wei Feng: I'm sorry to hear it. Zoe: Aren't we all?
5	Wei Feng: Greetings, Olaf! Savior of the Sakroch, and destroyer of the Ravenscar Golem! Olaf: The Ravenscar... the Ravenscar Golem? Was that - *hic* Olaf: OOOH, that Ravenscar Golem. Big fella. Made of rock. Yeah, I exploded it. Great afterparty! Wei Feng: Olaf was always an inspiration - he was the only known Hero to have permanently destroyed a Greater Golem. Olaf: Yer too kind! And never say 'permanent' where a Golem is concerned! *hic* Wei Feng: A wise sentiment!
6	Wei Feng: Alder! My friend! You have grown! Alder: Or you have shrunk. Do humans shrink? You definitely look smaller... Wei Feng: I once attempted to destroy Alder, thinking he was a mindless Golem bent on destruction. Wei Feng: He managed to make me see the error of my ways. We never stop learning... Alder: I hugged him until he calmed down. Wei Feng: By 'calmed down' he means 'passed out'!
7	Wei Feng: Balendu! I have heard the tales of your power! Your ability to both create and destroy Golems is the stuff of legend! Balendu: Hello, human child. Wei Feng: My master once spoke of you as being one of the great elemental beings. Balendu: That is very kind. Balendu:... Wei Feng: ... Wei Feng: I'll... just... go and fight over here.
8	Lars: What are you up to? Wei Feng: Greetings, Lars! We're walking down memory lane, destroying Golems. Lars: God. Lars hate Golems! SMASH!
9	Wei Feng: Kummakivi Rex was a horrifying creature. By the time I got to it, it had destroyed numerous villages. Wei Feng: I often wonder how many I could have saved if I'd taken a different route, and got there faster. Wei Feng: Sadly, as a Greater Golem, it usually reconstitutes eventually. Wei Feng: Fortunately, there will always be good people to take it down!
10	Wei Feng: This foul Golem is defeated once more.

Day 3
Battle	Dialogue
1	Wei Feng: The Golems we're seeing here are from Mirefen. Wei Feng: They are formed from the roots and trees of the land itself. Wei Feng: Who raised them? I don't know, but they seem to be more numerous now than they were back in my day...
2	Wei Feng: The Mirefen Golems are particularly vulnerable to Acid and Freeze. Wei Feng: Freezing will temporarily prevent them from causing harm. Wei Feng: So yes, maybe magic sometimes has its place...
3	Wei Feng: Poison has little effect on the Mirefen Golems, and they're also hard to Stun. Wei Feng: So choose your allies - and Charms - wisely! Wei Feng: Punching them though? That always works! Ha!
4	Tristan: Greetings, Wei Feng. I have heard much about you. Wei Feng: And I, you, Tristan of Myrefenn. Your strength against Golems, and skills in healing are renowned. Wei Feng: As is your helm! Tristan: It was always my favorite!
5	Wei Feng: Tell me, what drives you to battle? Wei Feng: Is it the thrill of victory? Demonstrating your strength over your rivals? Wei Feng: Or were you also convinced to travel the world and protect the innocent by an old man? Ha!
6	Pentatonix: Ha! Wei Feng! It is always a pleasure to meet a fellow rogue! Wei Feng: Ah, yes, greetings. So you're a... rogue? Wei Feng: What is your weapon of choice? The swift blade, or the closed fist- Pentatonix: Sonic warfare! I've got my trusty carnyx. Hit the right notes on this, and the enemies go running! Wei Feng: That's... nice.
7	Eileen: HEY! BALDYLOCKS! Wei Feng: Ah, greetings, feral one. How's the hammer? Eileen: Large. Heavy. Good for smashing heads. Wei Feng: *sigh*
8	Wei Feng: Ah, more animated horrors. Wei Feng: Come, friend, and let's show them the error of their ways!
9	Wei Feng: Kummakivi Rex was a horrifying creature. By the time I got to it, it had destroyed numerous villages. Wei Feng: I often wonder how many I could have saved if I'd taken a different route, and got there faster. Wei Feng: Sadly, as a Greater Golem, it usually reconstitutes eventually. Wei Feng: Fortunately, there will always be good people to take it down!
10	Wei Feng: This foul Golem is defeated once more.
