(({{Quote|:Oh. So you're the corpse they tossed on the beach. I guess you weren't dead. Well, welcome to hell island. There's no way off this island and you'll soon die like the others. / You again. Still alive? Well... that's good. I'd be pissed that you're in my house, but I'm too depressed.

:I think my name is [[Riger]]. That's what a [[Crone-Kin_Anatomy|crone ]] called me once. They stole my memories. Ripped them from my head! My skills, too! I mean, I can barely read now. I have to assume I knew a lot of things, but now... nothing. Do you know who you are?

::The [[Crone-Kin_Anatomy|crones ]] called you (player's name) when they tossed you here. One of them said you might be a [[Prodigy]], but ... well, a Prodigy wouldn't be here with their mind blanked, would they?

:::Wow, your mind-wipe went deep, didn't it? Poor bastard. A [[Prodigy ]] is someone born with one of the four gifts. Things like super learning or amazing physical strength. Don't worry about it... you aren't one.

:::No, they . They stole them out of your head, same as mine. They'll never come back. We're going to be like this forever: stupid and ignorant in a hut.:::'''It's a nice hut.''':::Oh, this old thing? Well, Who are the bed is mine. You can sleep on the porch. The skeletons don't come up here, so you'll be safe.:::'''You mentioned some crones. Who are they?''':::They're just some [[Crone-Kin_Anatomy|crones ]] that come by every month or two . They leave a few bodies in the sand. Sometimes they leave us food or supplies, but not very often.

::::They're a race of people, like [[Elven Anatomy|elves ]] or [[Human|humans]], but uglier. They stink pretty badly and like to cackle. That's all I know.

:::::'''What is a crone?''':::::They're a race of people... (see above):::::'''Is that how you got here?''':::::Yeah, I guess so. It was a while ago.::::::'''What is a crone?'''::::::They're a race of people... (see above)::::::'''When will they return again?'''::::::A month, maybe.:::::::'''Damn, that's too long! . There has to be a way off this island!''':::::::Sure, just swim to [[Serbule]]. It's only a few miles.

:::::::Wait, you look optimistic. That was a joke! You can't swim to [[Serbule]]. If the extreme currents didn't kill you, the devil sharks would. No, you're stuck here.::::::::'''I really want to escape.'''::::::::Suit yourself, tiger.:::'''Is there anything I can do for you?''' :::I don't know... (see below):'''Wait, who am I?''':The crones called you... (see above):'''Nice house you've got here.''':Oh, this old thing? Well, the bed is mine. You can sleep on the porch. The skeletons don't come up here, so you'll be safe.:'''Is there a way off this island?''':Sure, just swim to Serbule... (see above):'''Is there anything I can do for you?''' (Asking this question gives the quest '''[[Cheer Up Riger''']].):I don't know. I mean, I don't even want to escape, you know? It doesn't matter anymore. I think I'm seriously depressed. But I can't figure out a fix. I wish I could feel some hope again.::'''Heavy. Well, I'll see what I can do.'''
