Kulyok Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 We did these together with Domi in Kivan's workroom. All these are free floaters. Some are scripted, some are not. I suggest using J files for scripted banters, since both Kivan and Xan have such a large amount of banters it is difficult to assign weights. For the same reason, no weights are needed for non-scripted banters - so no lovetalks/friend talks are interrupted. // SoA 1. (scripted - a timer for 500 is set after both are in the party) Kivan: ~So you've been robbed of all your possessions?~ Xan: ~(sigh) Of every single thing. Kivan, may I remind you about the perils we face now? I’d rather not add the past grievances into the bargain.~ Haer'Dalis (if in Party): Art thou dangerously close to losing your sunshine disposition, my petrel?~ Kivan: ~I had to pay a fine to the Magistrate, which left me almost broke. There must be something in Athkatlan air.~ Xan: ~You kept the cloak on your back.~ Kivan: ~You missed out on almost being jailed.~ Xan: ~I nigh wished I were, when I discovered that *everything* disappeared, including my robes. I suppose that clearing out my pockets was not sufficient; they had to take the *pockets*.~ Kivan: ~When I counted coins out of my own purse into the man’s greedy hand, I wished he was a bandit, and I had a sword in my hands.~ Xan: ~(sigh) Human cities are not a place for an elf.~ Kivan: ~Unless you are Coran.~ Xan: ~That's enough talking about thieves.~ 2. (scripted: GlobalGT("P#KivanLove","GLOBAL",3) Global("O#XanRomanceActive","GLOBAL",1) ) Xan: ~Kivan...~ Kivan: ~What is it, mellonamin?~ Xan: ~(sigh) I do not know what to say. It is difficult...~ Kivan: ~It must be, for you look pained. But I am here for you to talk to, should you wish it.~ Xan: ~Oh, but I do not think I do... do you see?~ Xan: ~I value your company, mellonamin. Before meeting you, I wasn't even sure if I had friends. Now I do, but... (sigh) I am all too aware that these tentative beginnings may soon descend into rivalry. I would not want this, but the matter is out of my hands.~ Kivan: ~Mellonamin, I do not fully understand how I managed to upset you so. For what it is worth - you have my friendship.~ Xan: ~And I appreciate it. But I would prefer to spend time on my own, for now.~ Kivan: ~As you wish.~ 3. (not scripted, a regular banter) Xan: ~When did it all become so complicated?~ Kivan: ~For me, it never was.~ Xan: ~(sigh) Of course. Tazok is dead, and helping <CHARNAME> is your sole goal. I envy you.~ Kivan: ~(quietly) Do you?~ Xan: ~I... oh, Seldarine, no - I am sorry, Kivan. No... of course not. But you have no doubts about your path, do you?~ Kivan: ~What doubts can there be? You have seen what Irenicus has done to <CHARNAME>, Imoen and others, have you not?~ Xan: ~So I did. But... there are other concerns. Despite my sympathy for <CHARNAME>'s plight, I am here on a mission. I am bound to help my people, so some decisions... may be out of my hands.~ Kivan: ~We are honor-bound to help all good folk, Xan, not only the People.~ Xan: ~Indeed? Sometimes I think I do not know any more.~ 4. (not scripted, a regular banter) Kivan: ~Your head is down again, Xan.~ Xan: ~Our doom is inevitable. Why look for it? It will come regardless.~ Kivan: ~I can only hope you speak in jest, my friend. Our lives may be saved with one of your spells.~ Xan: ~(sigh) My spells? They are worthless. Have you noticed that our enemies become less affected by magic? And, I should note, they become impervious to your arrows, as well. We are doomed, Kivan.~ Kivan: ~United and alert we stand a better chance to survive.~ Xan: ~So naive. Had Irenicus wanted it, we would be at his mercy even now, and nothing would have helped. Neither your bow, nor my magic.~ Kivan: ~(grips the shaft of his bow tightly) We shall see.~ 5. (not scripted, a regular banter; extra conditions: Global("DeherianaDead","GLOBAL",0) !InParty("P#Deher") ) Xan: ~Do you think of home often, Kivan?~ Kivan: ~Shilmista? No, not the place.~ Xan: ~But its people….~ Kivan: ~They are long gone from there, all those I love.~ Xan: ~Strange, that. Just as you, I have no one left in Evereska, and yet I see her in reverie every night, and long to return there during the day. Don't you?~ Kivan: ~I will return to Shilmista. And then I will never leave.~ Xan: ~You will pass to the Blessed Realm from there, as you said to <CHARNAME> before. (sigh) I see. I will miss your presence.~ Kivan: ~We will meet there.~ Xan: ~True enough. At least one of us will be happy then.~ Kivan: ~I will, with my Deheriana. But I hope that in meanwhile you’ll find joy.~ // ToB 1. (scripted - a timer for 500 is set after ToB's beginning, Deheriana, Kivan and Xan in the party) Xan: ~So this is Deheriana?~ Kivan: ~Yes...~ Xan: ~Kivan!~ Kivan: ~Yes...~ Xan: ~You are happy, I suppose, the way you can't take your eyes off her.~ Kivan: ~Yes...~ Xan: ~Kivan, will you marry me?~ Kivan: ~Y- What?~ Xan: ~(sigh) I thought grief was making you laconic and removed, but now it is apparent that such is your nature.~ Kivan: ~Yes...~ Xan: ~Merciful Seldarine!~ 2. (not scripted, a regular banter) Xan: <CHARNAME> has recovered <PRO_HISHER> soul.~ Kivan: You look pensive. What’s troubling you about it?~ Xan: ~(sigh) The insignificant fact that <PRO_HESHE> is now the central figure of Alaundo's prophecy, or close enough. The one with the rivers frothing of blood.~ Kivan: ~I believe <CHARNAME> to be a person of good will.~ Xan: ~And so do I... most of the time. But even Alaundo the Seer sayeth "chaos will be sown in their footsteps". Need we any *more*?~ Kivan: ~Xan, if you wish me to tell you that everything will be well, I cannot. Alaundo might, but he’s long dead. Our best chance to avert the doom is to support <CHARNAME>, and pray that <PRO_HESHE> does not succumb to the taint.~ Xan: ~(sigh) True. But this helplessness is overwhelming.~ Kivan: ~I know this only too well.~ 3. (not scripted, a regular banter) Xan: ~So much has happened in so short a time. It frightens me, to be honest.~ Kivan: ~Wars are no laughing matter, and the war for the Lord of Murder’s Seat is enough to fill any man with foreboding of doom.~ Xan: ~And our safe place is a corner of the Nine Hells. Ironic, is not it?~ Kivan: ~A dreary place. Wakeful. Watchful. <CHARNAME>'s.~ Xan: ~I'd much rather not talk about it. It gives me a chill.~ Xan: ~... Kivan, do you think we are mad already or not quite yet?~ Kivan: ~Anyone who thinks that a small company can defeat five great armies is mad.~ Xan: ~I've been saying it all along! And so far I've been the only one who does not believe we can, it seems.~ Kivan: ~Then you've kept your sanity, mellonamin.~ Xan: ~Small consolation, that.~ Link to comment
berelinde Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Wonderful! Once this is out, I'm going to have to try it! Link to comment
Kulyok Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Glad you liked it! I should add that a Deheriana one is purely Domi's. Oh, and just in case: WEIGHT #-1 is needed for scripted banters, I think - so they do not interfere with flirts. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 They are wonderful and I can't wait. I do hate to have them both in the party and neither knows the other is even there! Link to comment
Domi Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thank you, and I hope they will make it more fun to have both Kivan and Xan in the same party Link to comment
Shaitan Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 For me Kivan is a must. He's by far (IMO) the best NPC mod - ever. Thus everything making other NPC mods like Amber, Auren and Xan better via crossmods with Kivan in the party is a joy Link to comment
Domi Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 You embarass me, but I am glad you like Kivan. It's a lot of fun to write cross-mod content and the more NPCs participate, the merrier. Link to comment
