Gift Wrapping Pro
Hey, long time no see! Did you just come back from a trip? I usually head back to Falconreach for the holidays but I wanted to stay here this time. Yulgar, Serenity, and Aria definitely need the extra hands. And for once, I get to be the expert! Lots of adventurers signed up for caroling and the gift-wrapping workshop. My hands are covered in paper cuts but it's really cool helping out our local heroes.

Migrators
Psst, we've been getting a lot of visitors from Swordhaven lately. They aren't nobles, just regular folks good at reading, metalwork, and a couple of cooks from the royal kitchen. They're on a long trip to the coast, and took a pitstop here. Looks like there's a big project going on, and they're all really excited about it. I wonder if they're helping out the Queen. Weird, wouldn't you usually be the first to know about these kinds of things?

Bard
You just missed an incredible guitarist that dropped by the other evening. They were shy when I asked about their instrument, but after Serenity chatted with them, they gave us a concert. It was a one-person show but I felt all my worries melt away when the music washed over us. The bard was with their two sisters, heading off to the coast to do some work. The one with the glasses glared at me for bugging them too much, haha.

Temporary Castle Groundskeeper
Did the Sisters trick you into arriving early so you could help clean? I would've helped if they'd have just asked, and been more prepared, too. The castle's so haunted that even the stains scream when you hit them with the mop. Thanks to Tara, Nythera, and that other strong fellow helping, the hallways are safe and decorated for the Gala! That leaves the locked rooms, which you're about to open…oh, and more cleaning.

Ghosts
You're not a stranger to restless spirits. Neither am I. They pop into Yulgar's Inn this time of the year, so Serenity and I would smoke them out with sage. But those were your typical spooky scary ghosts. The ones in this castle… they're mean. They don't just attack you unprovoked. They make fun of you for looking poor, having freckles, and wearing dented glasses. Even the upper crust guests that checked into the Inn didn't insult me… to my face.

Yulgar's Inn
I miss helping Serenity and Yulgar decorate the Inn for Mogloween. It'd be nice if we could make the Temple festive, but I'm afraid of it getting in the way of your serious work. Having this Mogloween Gala is perfect middle ground, and a chance for Aria and Yulgar to relax before he sees her off. Did you hear? Aria's going to head off to learn about Nature magic from experts. She's going to stay at Dragonrune Hall first.

Folktales
Have you heard of the folktales about this castle? It belonged to the Taylor Family. The villages used to be free of illness because they were so good at healing. It all went downhill after Lord Andrew Taylor began hosting big parties for the worst of the nobility. Taxes were raised to fund their entertainment, and people would go missing. It culminated in a gala where they all suddenly disappeared. Right, we're throwing a big Gala too. Spooky…

After completing the 'Restless Waltz' quest:

Temporary Castle Groundskeeper
The castle was shaking like crazy for a while! Was that you? Whatever you did made the ghosts calmer. Thank you! The guests are going to have a party they'll never forget. Wait a minute, I'm a guest too! Aria and Yulgar are coming to visit. We need to make the most of the night before Aria starts her Nature Magic studies. Don't make yourself scarce, we'll see you in the ballroom!

Groundskeeper
The Queen's on her way, and what if she has a hankering for fish instead of turkey? I have to cover all my bases. Tara was really looking forward to this, and I want to help her out. Is it normal for fish around here to laugh? They keep pointing their fins and snickering at me. It's, uh…making me self-conscious.

Grounds
Tara accidentally turning everything blue isn't a big deal, and I hope she doesn't feel like she ruined the feast. Besides, compared to the big guy downstairs, literally anything else is a great distraction. I know you're really busy, but I hope we'll evict that surprise tenant soon. Even when I'm outside patrolling the grounds, I hear it. Sorry, sorry, I don't want to be a downer on such a nice day.

Chores
Even though I'm the groundskeeper, I also keep the Temple clean, cook everyone's meals, keep track of our supplies - and I think it'd be nice if we could hire someone else to help out. Maya and Muusa are really clear about which of their books could curse me, but I get tired, forget, and get turned into a toad for a day. Shakaz and Rand offered some Undead minions, but I have some reservations about that kind of thing, haha…

Queen
Thank the Avatars Tara took the lead with Harvest Fest this year. If I flubbed cooking for Queen Victoria, I'd forget about my dreams of adventure and toss myself into this river. One strange thing, though - I figured that I could give my update letters about Termina Temple to her directly, but Sir Richard took them like he usually does. Did I do something wrong? Ah…at least he stopped me quietly so the Queen wouldn't notice.

After completing the 'Coiled Cornucopia' quest:

Groundskeeper
Tara and Queen Victoria had such a good time. I'm happy for them! Lady Celestia also offered to get Volgritian to help me with my day-to-day tasks, which is really nice of her. But what does that mean? What's he going to do? I'm picturing that giant Dragon dropping a mouthful of deer on the roof. Or, maybe he'll deal with the dusty windows by using his storm breath on them.

Inn Staffer
CAN YOU BELIEVE WE SURVIVED?!?!?! I am pretty sure I will NEVER get the smell of burnt bacon and scorched eggs out of my clothes. Aria's grandmama, Grams, told us that ChickenCows come from the Plane of BreakFast. Sounds like my kind of dimension. Surviving the apo-cow-lypse makes me HUNGRY.

Termina Temple Groundskeeper
Glad to see you, but don't worry about Lady Celesita and Lord Felix! I'll protect them! So far, the Fiends have left us alone. Jadzia tucked us away here when we arrived…so please, go easy on her. It'd be sad if she wasn't allowed back home.

Adventure
The Archfiend only wanted Lady Celestia and Felix to leave the Temple with him, but I couldn't just let them go by themselves. I volunteered to come so I could keep both of them safe. Well…Jadzia noticed I tagged along, but her boss didn't realize I was there until we were already in the caves. I wonder if I just don't have much of a presence. Maybe I should give being a Rogue a try.

Experience
I've been trying all sorts of things on my off time! Whenever Artix and Galanoth visit, I get combat pointers from them. They're hard to follow, but I sit in during Tara's magic lessons, too. So far, I can light a campfire with magic, and hunt my own Slimes! I'm definitely a work in progress, but this is a huge improvement from my time at Yulgar's. Coming to Termina Temple…that was the best decision I've ever made.

Stomach Ache
Hey, did the breakfast I made for everyone this morning make you feel sick? I've been feeling a little off. It's a stomach ache that started when we arrived here. I've had nervous aches before, so I know this isn't it. Oh, man, I really hope I don't throw up. All the Fiends here are going to look at me like I'm a weenie. Just what is going on? It's like the blueberry pancakes we ate started kicking around.

After completing 'The Swordmaiden' quest:

Termina Temple Groundskeeper
Ugh. I think I blacked out for a second. Lady Celestia said I seemed just fine, even more energetic than usual, but I don't remember any of that. If anything, I feel…heavier? Ugh, when we get back to Termina Temple, I'll get rid of that blueberry pancake recipe. That said, I'm getting kind of hungry. All the craziness must have taken a lot out of me. Look, my eye's all twitchy, too. It keeps winking.

Groundskeeper
Hi! This is a huge surprise seeing you here, and I'm so happy to see a familiar face! Guess who went from an Inn Staffer to full fledged groundskeeper for a hush hush location of great importance? Someone has to keep the building clean, and I don't think any of the Scholars or guards put points into plumbing and carpentry skills. Whenever you need to rest, give me a shout, and I'll fluff a pillow for you.

Talk
We need to catch up!

Job
It was actually the Queen of Swordhaven that asked me to become the groundskeeper for this Temple. She came to Yulgar's Inn on her own, wore a cloak and everything, and asked that either Serenity or I take the job. We've been exchanging letters so she can keep tabs on the Temple. Though it's a bit of a hassle since I have to leave and hand the letters to a knight in the middle of the night.

Yulgar's Inn
I didn't really want to leave Battleon. Aria was hurt during the Mana Crisis. She and Yulgar got invited to meet better healers somewhere on the coast. That left me and Serenity to take care of the Inn, until we got this job offer. At first, I 'wanted to turn it down to keep Yulgar's Inn open but Serenity shoved my clothes in a bag and saw me off. She didn't want me to let this huge opportunity slip by.

Battleon
Battleon's changing a lot, and it isn't because of a fire. News that the Alliance is dissolving reached town, and everyone got orders to pull out. Swordhaven's recalling their knights. All of the dragonslayers, lots of mages, and other folks went with them. I'm not for evil in any way, but I never realized how many of its followers frequented Yulgar's. When I left, it was so quiet.

Inn Staffer
Hi there! I came from Falconreach with Serenity, and Yulgar was kind enough to let me work here too!

- Who am I?

Hidden Room
Oh, no no no. There's no hidden room here at the Inn. I would have found it by now. I've mopped EVERYWHERE! … I'm pretty sure I've mopped everywhere. But if YOU find someplace I haven't been, make sure you let me know!

Bounty Hunters?
There were some suspicious fully robed robots that were here earlier. They were trying to be discreet but they kept pretending to drink and they kept dumping drinks on the floor. That was fun to clean up… Anyways, I heard that one of the robots was going to go to Swordhaven to search through their storage.
