- Player: Who's Zanaris?
- Warrior: Ahahahaha! Zanaris isn't a person! It's a magical hidden city filled with treasures and rich... uh, nothing, it's nothing.
- If it's hidden, how are you planning to find it?
- Player: If it's hidden, how are you planning to find it?
- Warrior: Well, we don't want to tell anyone else about that, because we don't want anyone else sharing in all the glory and treasure.
- Please tell me.
- (Same as above)
- Looks like you don't know either.
- Player: Well, it looks to me like YOU don't know EITHER seeing as you're all just sat around here.
- Warrior: Of course we know! We just haven't figured out which tree the stupid leprechaun's hiding in yet! GAH! I didn't mean to tell you that! Look, just forget I said anything okay?
- Player: So a leprechaun knows where Zanaris is, eh?
- Warrior: Ye... uh, no. No, not at all. And even if he did - which he doesn't - he DEFINETLY ISN'T hiding in some tree around here. Nope, definitely not. Honestly.
- Player: Thanks for the help!
- Warrior: Help, What help? I didn't help! Please don't say I did, I'll get in trouble!
- Player: Well, it looks to me like YOU don't know EITHER seeing as you're all just sat around here.
- Please tell me.
- There's no such thing.
- Player: There's no such thing!
- Warrior: When we've found Zanaris, you'll... GAH! I mean, we're not here for any particular reason at all.
- (Same as above)
- If it's hidden, how are you planning to find it?
- What's Zanaris?
- Player: What's Zanaris?
- Warrior: I don't think we want other people competing with us to find it. Forget I said anything.
- What makes you think it's out here?
- Player: What makes you think it's out here?

- Player: If it's hidden, how are you planning to find it?

Secret spoiled
Before talking to the Leprechaun
The Monk
- Player: Have you found the tree with the leprechaun yet?
- Monk: No, we've looked for ages but haven't... Hey! Wait a minute! How did you know about that?
- Player: Thanks for the information!
- Monk: ...You tricked me. I'm not talking to you anymore.
The Archer
- Player: So I hear theres a leprechaun around here who can show me the way to Zanaris?
- Archer: ... W-what? How did you...? No. You're wrong. Now go away.
The Wizard
- Player: Found that leprechaun yet?
- Wizard: Hahaha! Go away, amateur! You're not worthy of joining our great group!
- Player: ...Right.
The Warrior
- Player: So let me get this straight. I need to search the trees around here for a leprechaun. Then, when I find him, he will tell me where this 'Zanaris' is?
- Warrior: What? How did you know that? Uh... I mean, no, no you're very wrong. Very wrong, and not right at all, and I definitely didn't tell you about that at all.
The Leprechaun
Chopping the swamp tree
- Shamus: Hey! Yer big elephant! Don't go choppin' down me house, now!
- Shamus comes down.
Talking to Shamus
- Shamus: Ah, yer big elephant! Yer've caught me! What would an elephant like yer be wanting wid ol' Shamus, then?
- Player: I want to find Zanaris.
- Shamus: Zanaris, is it now? Well, well, well... You'll be needing that funny little shed out there in the swamp, so you will.
- Player: Shed? I thought Zanaris was a city.
- Shamus: Aye, that it is!
- How does it fit in a shed, then?
- Player: How does it fit in a shed, then?
- Shamus: Ah, yer stupid elephant! The city isn't IN the shed! The doorway to the shed is a portal to Zanaris, so it is.
- Player: So, I just walk into the shed and end up in Zanaris?
- (Continues below)
- I've been in that shed and I didn't see a city.
- Player: I've been in that shed and I didn't see a city.
- (Continues below)
- Player: I've been in that shed and I didn't see a city.
- Shamus: Oh, was I forgetting to say? Ya need to be carrying a dramen staff to be getting there! Otherwise, yer'll just be ending up in the shed.
- Player: Where could I get such a staff?
- Shamus: Dramen staves are crafted from branches of the dramen tree, so they are. I hear there's a dramen tree in a cave over on the island of Entrana. There would probably be a good place for an elephant like yer to look, I reckon. The monks are running a ship from Port Sarim to Entrana, so I hear. Did yer need a teleport over to Port Sarim?
- Yes, please, a teleport would be useful.
- Player: Yes, please, a teleport would be useful.
- Shamus: Right yer are. Hold on!
- Shamus: Avach Sarimporto!
- No thanks, I'll get there on my own.
- Player: No thanks, I'll get there on my own.
- Shamus: Fine, have it yer way. I'm off!
- The leprechaun magically disappears.
- Yes, please, a teleport would be useful.
- How does it fit in a shed, then?
After talking to the Leprechaun
The Monk
- Monk: I already told you. I'm not talking to you anymore.
The Archer
- Player: So you didn't find the entrance to Zanaris yet, huh?
- Archer: Don't tell me a novice like YOU has found it!
- Player: Yep. Found it REALLY easily too.
- Archer: ...I cannot believe that someone like you could find the portal when experienced adventurers such as ourselves could not.
- Player: Believe what you want. Enjoy your little camp fire.
The Wizard
- Wizard: Hahaha, you're such an amateur! Go and play with some cabbage, amateur!
- Player: ...Right.
The Warrior
- Player: Have you found anything yet?
- Warrior: We're still searching for Zanaris... GAH! I mean we're not doing anything here at all.
- Player: I haven't found it yet either.
Entrana
Entering the cave
- Cave Monk: Be carefull going in there! You are unarmed, and there is much evilness lurking down there! The evilness seems to block off our contact with our gods. so[sic] our prayers seem to have less effect down there. Oh, also, you won't be able to come back this way - This ladder only goes one way! The only exit from the cave below is a portal which is guarded by greater demons!
- I don't think I'm strong enough to enter then.
- Player: I don't think I'm strong enough to enter then.
- Well, that is a risk I will have to take.
- Player: Well, that is a risk I will have to take.
- You climb down the ladder.
- I don't think I'm strong enough to enter then.
