How to Survive

Trapper · Alpine Isle (4th island), Rimeholt (plateau town).

Quests

Talk

  1. “Name's Ulf. I trap. Mostly I trap myself in conversations like this one. The animals are smarter than people. They see me coming.”
  2. “There's a lake up past the trees. Frozen. Glassmere, they call it. Somebody built a hut out on the ice. It's a fishing hut. I go in there to get out of the wind. I don't fish. I just sit. The fish respect it.”
  3. “Crypt to the north. Another one way back under the peaks. Old as the mountain. Older. The mountain came later. Don't ask me how. I'm a trapper, not a priest.”
  4. “Came up here forty years ago to get away from people. Then they built a town around me. I didn't move. It's the principle of the thing. Also my knees.”
  5. “You hear the piano from the chapel? Same song every day. I used to hate it. Now I hum it. That's how they get you. Patience.”

More talk

  1. “Go out on Glassmere and look down. The sky's in the ice. Only it's a second late. Like it's checking what the real one did first.”

As the gods fall

Once the gods of 1 crypt have been beaten and their chests looted in your world (the Gang of Elites counts), every third talk:

  1. “Folks say you killed one of them. Good. Word of advice from a trapper. Something that smart, you don't trap it once. It's got another one of itself put by somewhere. They keep spares.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “Good. You escaped. Smarter than the animals.”
  • “Walked off. I'd do the same.”
  • “Fine. Fewer words. I was running out anyway.”
