Regular dialogues

Without spade in inventory

• Strange Old Man: Dig, dig, DIG! You want to dig? You need a spade!
• Player: Yes you're right, I probably do. Where can I get one?
• Strange Old Man: Ohh... Spades have cost me so much hassle - always being pestered for them! I ended up giving in and just putting one at each mound for you forgetful adventurers to use.

During The Temple at Senntisten

Before getting the Barrows icon

• Strange Old Man: At last, the time comes. I have been expecting your arrival since before you were born.
• Player: You're not speaking gibberish any more, what is going on?
• Strange Old Man: After all this time, I'm not of the 'It will wait another day' school of thought. You can ask our employer what is going on.
• Strange Old Man: For now, get into the Barrows, show the brothers who is boss, and recover the icon.
• Strange Old Man: They will not hand it over without a good beating, though. So batter the lot of them, to be sure.
• Player: Right, but I always thought you were just some mad old bloke with a spade obsession.
• Strange Old Man: I do my best to look useless; if only they knew the truth. it would chill their hearts.
• Strange Old Man: Anyway, who knows who is listening? I'd best get back to what I do for now.
• Player: Dig, I guess?

After getting the Barrows icon

• Player: Hello.
• Strange Old Man: You have it! Oh, the master will be delighted.
• Player Are you talking about the icon I got from the Barrows?
• Strange Old Man:Indeed, indeed! Run to him, run as fast as you can!
• Player: Run back to Azzanadra? Why?
• Strange Old Man: No reason, I just like to make people run places.
• Strange Old Man: And how they run! You have to get the voice right, though.
• Player: I see.
• Strange Old Man: It can get a bit lonely here, I suppose. Still, there's always digging!

If you lose the Barrows icon

• Player: I've lost the icon I got from the Barrows.
• Strange Old Man: Could be...could be I found a little something. A trinket, see?
• The Strange Old man shakingly hands you the Barrows icon.
• Strange Old Man: See? Digging is not so crazy now!
