Snake on the Plains/Plot Details

Miah Riyuh: Or maybe you'd like a private escort? My steel-tipped moccasins would be honored to show you the way out.

Miah Riyuh: Wait... what's that you're holdin' there? A green recommendation letter...!? Well, why didn't you say so?

Miah Riyuh: Gimme that...... Hmmmmm...... Kalsu-Kalasu! That meddling weasel. How many times have I told him that we don't need any more driveling peons cluttering our ranks and filling up on our ale...no offense, of course.

Miah Riyuh: On the other hand we could always use an extra blade. Our feathered friends from the east have backed us into a corner and it'll take more than quaint pleasantries to get us out. What'd you say your name was again?

Miah Riyuh: "Character name"... Doesn't sound too imposing, but I guess we have your mama to thank for that, eh?

Miah Riyuh: Now list up, 'cause I'm only going to say this once. Just because some Taru playin' soldier in Rolanberry thinks you got what it takes, doesn't mean you get a free pass into the Cobras.

Miah Riyuh: You're gonna have to prove yourself before the boss'll even consider whether you're worthy to lick the dhalmel dung off her boots.

Miah Riyuh: You've seen all those towers in West Sarutabaruta (S), right? Well, according to the Tarus, they play an important roll in defendin' the Federation.

Miah Riyuh: Problem is, they're older than the warts on my dead granddaddy's corpse, and a day don't go by when one or two of 'em up and stop runnin'.

Miah Riyuh: So to ensure the safety of Windurst, the brains down at the Manustery have whipped up a solution...

Miah Riyuh: Zonpa-Zippa's All-Purpose Putty!

Miah Riyuh: Yeah, yeah. That crackpot name makes the bile in my gut churn, but what do you expect from a Taru?

Miah Riyuh: Anyway, I want you to take this concoction to at least three towers and seal up any cracks you can find.

Miah Riyuh: Why doesn't the Manustery do this themselves, you ask? Have you ever been to the Manustery? Those runts wouldn't last a second outside the city walls. That's why they hired us.

Miah Riyuh: And now the task has been passed on to you, rookie! You should be honored!

Miah Riyuh: It's not every day a commoner like you gets the opportunity to prove himself/herself to the Cobras. Don't let us down, "character name"...or you'll have me to answer to!

Miah Riyuh (Upon speaking with her after accepting quest): I told you to patch up three towers. It looks like you still have enough putty for three more. Get back out there before I change my mind about lettin' you join us!

Miah Riyuh: Or maybe the task is a little too much for a groveling coward like you?

Time to run home to mamma?

--->I'm not done just yet!

I can't take this anymore!

Miah Riyuh: (nothing is said)

Time to run home to mamma?

I'm not done just yet!

--->I can't take this anymore!

Miah Riyuh: Second thoughts!? You really do have somethin' missing up there, don't you? I can't force you to do anything, but if you regain your senses, give me a holler.

Miah Riyuh (Upon reapplying after abandoning): If it isn't "character name". I seem to remember the last time I laid eyes on your sorry face, you were cowering back to the hole you crawled out of. Don't tell me you're back for a second chance.

State your business.

I'd like to join the Cobras.

--->I'm still having second thoughts.

Miah Riyuh: Second thoughts!? You really do have somethin' missing up there, don't you? I can't force you to do anything, but if you regain your senses, give me a holler.

--->I'd like to join the Cobras.

I'm still having second thoughts.

Miah Riyuh: Hmph! Consider yourself lucky that I'm in a good mood today. Take this Zonpa-Zippa's All-Purpose Putty and get movin'. You know what to do with it.

Miah Riyuh: Well, I hate to admit it, but you proved yourself, "character name".

Are you in?

Of course, do I get anything?

--->Sorry, but I'm having second thoughts. (This option resets the quest.)

Miah Riyuh: Second thoughts!? You really do have somethin' missing up there, don't you? I can't force you to do anything, but if you regain your senses, give me a holler.

Sorry, but I'm having second thoughts.

Miah Riyuh: Alright, consider yourself an official member of the Cobras.

Miah Riyuh: And do you get anything!? A swift blow to the kidneys is what you'll get if you ask another half-brained question like that again. You should be on your knees thanking me for letting you call your sorry self a Cobra.

Miah Riyuh: Alright. I guess it's about time you met the boss. Hold on... Boss!!! Boss!!!

Romaa Mihgo: This had better be good, Miah. You remember what happened to the last person who woke me from my nap.

Miah Riyuh: Ulp... Sir, yes, sir! I just wanted to introduce you to the newest member of the Cobras, "character name".

Romaa Mihgo: Hmmm......

Romaa Mihgo: "Character name," eh? Looks kind of scrrrawny if you ask me. You called me all the way over here to waste my time with this?

Miah Riyuh: Uh... Sir, no sir, ma'am. I think this one may be different. I've already given him/her an assignment and he/she came through without any problems.

Romaa Mihgo: Without any problems, you say?

Romaa Mihgo: Well then. Let's see what you're worth...

Romaa Mihgo: And that goes for you too, Miah Riyuh. Your tail is riding on "character name" performance.

Miah Riyuh: Phew... What are you looking at!? Eager to get workin', are you?

Miah Riyuh: Well, you're lookin' at the wrong girl. You see that Taru over there, Kolin-Olin? Ask him.

Miah Riyuh: Oh, and don't forget this Bronze Ribbon of Service. It'll prrrove that you're fightin' on the right side. Check with Evaluation Official Llewellyn if you wanna know more.

Miah Riyuh: Now, I have more important things to be doin' than babysittin' new recruits. Try not to get yourself smeared under an Orcish warmachine.
