Help me unjumble this dialog
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2020 8:47 am
Alright folks, every now and then we get an NPC that requires you go through their dialog before you can get their quests. There's a couple examples of this on IOD (Elder Wen Starbrook). This is a task that usually takes a fair amount of time for us because, you see, the records we have aren't in order. At least not for the NPC. Player response is in order.
Azara Shahab in The Temple of Dailuk is one such NPC except she is nuttier than a fruitcake. And her dialog makes less sense than usual. I figured I'd put you guys to work trying to put this in some kind of order for me instead of me wasting time on it while I can be setting up the quests.
Here's her dialogue:
I believe she starts with the normal hail of:
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab asks you, "Do the stars speak to you, as well?", Log: 665
And you the player respond with:
"Absolutely."
Here's the rest of her text:

ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab says, "Daft? Craft? Raft? Rat? You claim to be a rat also, CHARACTERNAME?, Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "A crocodile spy, eh? You don't look like a crocodile spy! Are you sure that you are a crocodile spy?", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "Ah, but they are one and the same, CHARACTERNAME! Those sneaky devils decided that it would be easier to spy on us if they dressed up and pretended to be crocodiles!"\n\n\n\n"I have to give them credit, though. The plan hints of genius and would have worked had I not been here to discover their ill intentions!", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "Being this high in the tower reminds me of the day that I was flying over Pankor Zhi.", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "Forgetful as you are ugly, eh? I asked you if you were a crocodile spy!", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "Hah, I knew it! See, if I thought that you were a crocodile spy, I would not have asked you right then but rather would have just up and killed you!"\n\n\n\n"Those crocodile spies think that they are really sneaky but I've been keeping an eye on them for ages now. The Temple can send as many of them as they want but they won't discover what they need!", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "I can sense the amusement in your voice, CHARACTERNAME. Do I amuse you? Am I here solely for your amusement?"\n\n\n\n"Bah, I have more important things to do than continuing this banter with you. If you do not believe me, go kill the crocodiles and find out yourself! If I am correct, we have bigger things to worry about.", Log: 665
ID: 42005, Text: Azara Shahab tells you, "See those structures west of here? Those are the ruins of an old religion, long past dead. Some religious fanatics have taken it over and now worship a false god."\n\n\n\n"Oddly enough, those fanatics seem to think that they can slip down here and spy on us!", Log: 665
Now here's the player response text. Let me explain how this works. These are in order. And sometimes you get more than one text option to choose as the player. So they are grouped together. The ones that are grouped together stay together. And when you click on one, or the other, it will give a different response. So I need to know what order Azara Shahab's dialogue is in but also how she responds to each line from the player.
This first one is the first response you give her after the hail (I think)
Option ID: 6780, Sequence: 2
'"Absolutely."'
Option ID: 43752, Sequence: 43
'Rat?! I called you daft!'
'Forget it. What was the original question?'
Option ID: 43754, Sequence: 45
'If I don\'t look like a spy, why did you ask in the first place? Of course I am one!'
'I was kidding. No, I am not a crocodile spy.'
Option ID: 44014, Sequence: 0
'Crocodiles spies? Are you daft?'
'No, I am not a spy.'
'Yes, I am a spy.'
Option ID: 50775, Sequence: 34
'What Temple?'
Option ID: 50776, Sequence: 35
'Wait a moment! You said that the spies were crocodilian. How do these fanatics fit in with the spies?'
Option ID: 50777, Sequence: 36
'You believe the local crocodiles are fantatics posing AS crocodiles to spy upon this outpost?'
Option ID: 50778, Sequence: 37
'And if you are not corr...nevermind, I will go discover the truth for the both of us.'
'You are crazy, you know that?'
Option ID: 63264, Sequence: 107
'No, I am not a crocodile spy.'
'Yes, I am a crocodile spy.'
Now remember, the player dialog is in order. So you have to piece together what the NPC is saying based on that. So if anyone wants to take a stab at it, throw in the replies as best you can.
