Grindle NPC Dialogue Lines

Introduction / Initial Meeting

• Hoy! Hoyyyy! You there! Get us out of here! Since when's a little light thievery worth a lifelong sentence?
• Hurry it up, let us out quickly then! We got places to go, bugs to see, trinkets to pilfer!

After freeing him

• Hoho, free at last! Locked up in here much too long, we was. Nasty place to keep a poir little snitchbug like Grindle.
• Hoy, you're smellin' fanct! You got some pockets under your cloak? Hidin' away some goodies for us to pilfer?
• O-hoho! Never mind then, bully. Plenty tasties lying around for us down here. We smells 'em!

Visit

• Lockin' us up in a place like this... what a shameful act!

Visit near the Bench

• Hoy, you're still hanging around then? Quiet in here. Good for hidin' out.
• You gots the li'l clicky-clackies on you then, eh? The rolly-roundies? What the shops like to swap for?
• O-hoho! Share some of your little clicky-clackies with us, help fill our pockets. If you do, we'll share a sneaky secret with you!

After giving him some Rosaries

• Oooh! Greedy are you? Mean to poor li'l snitchbugs like us? Won't survive out there without our secrets, oh no no!
• O-hoho! Into Grindle's pockets they go! And for you, a secret to remember us by...
• Beneath here and further on, the burly bellheads have a big, hot, gleaming hive! Full of all sorts of tasty snitchables! But there's this big gate they got down in its belly... shut tight, locked up. If you could wriggle through, you'd get your claws on all kindsa goodies!
• You know where all them dreary raggedies are camping? Back near the ol' chapel? Well, beyond that chapel is a dirty great grave! Not much in there but husks, right? But but! My sniffer tells me there's something worth the trouble buried down at the bottom!
• There's lots of pickings around here, right? Well, it's all nothing compared to what they got hidden up, up above us. The great big Sitty-del they calls it! A golden place, groaning with goodies! Could never steal it all in a thousand snitch-bug lifetimes they reckon! Oh yes, that's where ol' Grindle is headin'. Don't you dare follow us, though! We want it all for us-selves! 

After buying all his secrets

• Eugh. Is it gettin' hotter down here? Mustier? Grindle's been down here too long. Reckon it's time to climb back up soon, to where all the serious treasure is!
