Upon death

At first death

• Death: Greetings.
  • Player: Pleased to meet you.
    • Death: I'm glad to see you taking this so well. Most of the recently deceased are more upset.
      • (Continues below)
  • Player: Am I... dead?
    • Death: Yes, I'm afraid that you are.
      • (Continues below)
  • Player: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    • Death: Calm down, calm down. You're just dead.
      • (Continues below)
• Death: Fortunately for you, it is not yet your time.
  • Player: Great! How do I get back?
    • (Continues below)
  • Player: Wait... I'm not dead?
    • Death: It is not your time. Destiny awaits you. I will not claim you. Yet.
    • Player: Right... thanks.
• Death: You can go back now. When you leave here, you'll return to the town. When you die you keep some of your items, but you lose others.
• Player: I lose my stuff?
• Death: Your valuable gear will be dropped wherever it is you died. However, you can choose three of those items to keep.
• You can see which items will drop and which will be kept in the deathkeep interface in your Worn Inventory.
• Death: When you return to the world of living, you have a short time limit to return to the site of your death and reclaim your dropped gear.
• Whenever you die with items that could drop, you'll see an interface allowing you to choose which ones to keep.
• You can selectively take your items one at a time, take them all with the 'take all' button, or re-equip your gear and take the rest of your items with the 'Equip all' button.
• Death: Take the portal behind you and return to the world of the living.
  • Goodbye!
    • Player: Goodbye!
  • I just want to ask you about-
    • Player: I just want to ask you about-
    • Death: Go!

After subsequent deaths

• Death:  I thought you would return, Player. Do you wish to reclaim your items?
  • Reclaim your items?
    • Yes.
      • (Reclaim Items interface opens)
    • Ask about something else.

Soul Reaper tasks

First task

• Death: Welcome, Player.
• Player: Am I dead? What's going on here?
• Death: You are not dead... yet. I have allowed you to enter as I need your help with a task. As you are no doubt aware, I am Death. The Reaper, the Collector of Souls, or any other name civilisations have given me. My task is to retrieve the soul from a dying creature, enabling its passage to the underworld.
• Player: So what do you need me for?
• Death: There is an imbalance in the harmony of life and death. There is far too much... life. My eyes have been on you in this age, Player, as have the eyes of many others. You appear to have the skills I require to bring balance.
• Player: So you want me to kill stuff?
• Death: If you wish to put it so indelicately, yes.
• Player: Great! When do I start?
• Death: Immediately. First, you must take this gem. It will allow you to contact me remotely, should you require aid or a new assignment.
• You receive a grim gem.
• Death: And one final thing before you receive your first assignment. Are you happy to take on creatures as a group, or do you prefer to kill alone? You may change your mind later on, if you wish.
  • Player: Yes, I'm happy to receive group bosses.
  • Player: No, I don't want to team up with other adventurers.
• Death: Now for your first assignment. I hope you are ready. I require you to collect X souls from the following battle: [Boss name]. Can I trust you with this task?
  • You certainly can. Thanks!
    • Player: You certainly can. Thanks!
  • I'd like a different assignment.
    • At first reroll attempt
      • Death: I will be patient with you once, with no penalty. Do you wish me to assign you a new creature?
        • Yes, remove my current assignment and give me a new one.
          • Death: I require you to collect X souls from the following battle: [Boss name]. Can I trust you with this task?
            • You certainly can. Thanks!
              • Player: You certainly can. Thanks!
            • I'd like a different assignment.
              • (Same as above)
            • I need some hints about my assignment.
              • (Same as below)
        • No, I've changed my mind. Leave my assignment.
    • At second reroll attempt
      • Death: Do not think I will allow you to change your mind freely. If you request a different assignment today, you will only receive 75% of the reaper points for completion. You will gain the full experience, however.
        • (Same as above)
    • At third reroll attempt
      • Death: Do not think I will allow you to change your mind freely. If you request a different assignment today, you will only receive 50% of the reaper points for completion. You will gain the full experience, however.
        • (Same as above)
    • At fourth reroll attempt
      • Death: Do not think I will allow you to change your mind freely. If you request a different assignment today, you will only receive 25% of the reaper points for completion. You will gain the full experience, however.
        • (Same as above)
    • At fifth reroll attempt
      • Death: I find your indecision tiresome. If you request a different assignment again today you will not receive any reaper points for completion. I cannot stop you from receiving the full experience...unfortunately.
        • (Same as above)
    • At sixth reroll attempt
      • Death: My patience only stretches so far. You have wasted enough of my time, I must address this imbalance myself. Be gone, mortal.
  • I need some hints about my assignment.
    • [Task hint]

Subsequent task

• If you have yet to complete the currently assigned task
  • Death: You are taking a long time to complete my assignment, Player. Are you finding it too difficult?
  • If you choose to reset your assignment this will be treated as a brand new task, with fresh rerolls. There is no guarantee the new assignment will be different to your current one. If you wish to reroll your current task instead, use your grim gem.
    • I'd like a new assignment.
      • (Same as above)
    • I'd like another grim gem.
      • You receive a grim gem.
        • I'd like a different assignment.

        • I need some hints about my assignment.

      • (Shows other options)
  • Player: Nothing, thanks.

2015 Hallowe'en event

After Missing, Presumed Death

• Death: Ah, my saviour graces me with his/her presence once more.

Before Missing, Presumed Death

• Death: Greetings, mortal. A matter of great urgency requires your attention.
• Player: What's going on?
• Death: Beyond this rift Icthlarin and Amascut do battle over the River Noumenon, in front of the gates to the Underworld. The are vying for control of the only crossing between the lands of the living and the dead. If Amascut succeeeds, it may be the end of the afterlife as we know it. Her power will grow exponentially. Icthlarin is in need of your help Player. Step into the rift. Aid him in his fight against The Devourer.
• Player:
  • Who are Icthlarin and Amascut?
    • Death: Icthlarin is the god of the Underworld, and not only that, he is my friend. For millennia he has carried the burden of protecting souls on their journey to the afterlife. Amascut is his sister. She once stood beside her brother, offering the greatest of souls a chance of reincarnation. But she has since descended into madness. Devouring those very souls is now what drives her. She who Icthlarin must protect these helpless souls from. He is the light that guards them from her devourer beasts.
    • Player: Will you be coming down to help as well?
    • Death: I must stay here to guard the rift, Player. I fear our old friend Nomad will try to enter and gain the power of the souls for himself. He is plotting something sinister. I am sure of it.
  • What caused this battle to start?
    • Death: When the world-eater, Tuska, crashed into this planet she was not killed completely. Strangely, her anima remains locked in her lifeless body, gradually leaking out into Gielinor. Further investigation of the husk revealed that there are also souls leaking out. Souls that are not of this world. As the beast consumed other worlds, she also consumed their Underworlds and the souls within them. These souls remained within her, until now. They are leaking out and overflowing Gielinor's underworld.
    • Player: Why has that caused a battle between Icthlarin and Amascut?
    • Death: Amascut has seized her opportunity to attack whilst the Underworld is in disarray. There is an abundance of souls for her to devour. Icthlarin is spread thin… he cannot protect them all. Amascut draws power from the souls she devours, Player. If she is not stopped, there is no telling how strong she will become.
  • How can I help?
    • Death: Pass through the rift, mortal. Be warned: you may experience some nausea, but this is perfectly normal for a human. It will soon pass. Once on the other side you will find yourself at the edge of the Realm of the Living, on the bank of the River Noumenon. Look for the various inhabitants of this area. They are an... odd bunch, but they will instruct you well. I believe Icthlarin has assigned Ka - a talking cat - to the rift. She will be able to help you upon your arrival.
  • What will I get in return?
    • Death: It is a shame you adventurers must always be so focused on self gain, but it will please you to know you will be well compensated. Whilst rounding up souls in the River Noumenon you will notice there are some that stand out from the rest. These are the souls which may once have stood a chance of reincarnation. Collecting them will reward you with experience in the skill they specialised in during their lives.. Today I have noticed these souls are the five special souls of the day. You will also gain Noumenon Favour for your contribution towards Icthlarin's efforts, which can be redeemed for rewards at Sinn Derkwill on the other side of the rift.
  • Goodbye.
