The Great Curse-Breaking Caper

Tagar: So you and Ulgorn ended up going to the crypt, right? Did I ever mention that place is cursed.

Tagar: It's tainted with people's grudges... Heh. Walking in there on your own is like begging fate to strike you down.

Tagar: Ulgorn kept badgering me, saying he felt like he'd been cursed. Even when I told him downing all those bottles of holy water wouldn't help, he kept insisting.

Tagar: Then he ran off to Kolina. I taught her, but if she was talented enough to know such methods, she'd already be sitting on a pile of Kina.

Tagar: Go tell him again for me that there's no way to lift the curse of the crypt.

Tagar: Hey! ‹your name›! Come here for a moment.

Ulgorn: ‹your name›! Perfect timing! You have to hear this right now! I've got some incredible information!

Kolina: Haha, I'm glad I could help.

Ulgorn: How have you been feeling after the crypt? I've been having nightmares and feeling heavier than usual ever since.

Ulgorn: The rumors of a curse must be true after all!

Ulgorn: I've been asking for a way to lift it, but Tagar just got angry with me and wasn't any help at all.

Ulgorn: But then Kolina here told me the solution just like that! ‹your name›, let's purge this curse together!

Kolina: Haha, it's actually my nephew who told me the method. He's smart, so it should be trustworthy.

Ulgorn: Your nephew? You didn't mention that before... Are you sure it'll work? I'm deathly serious about this!

Kolina: Well, no one has ever come back alive from that crypt in the first place... So I can't be certain, but my nephew wouldn't lie!

Ulgorn: Hmm... Fine, just give me the details.

Kolina: He wrote it all down in a note. It seems there's a lot to do, so please read it carefully.

Ulgorn: ...This isn't just a joke, right?

Kolina: What!? A-Absolutely not! There's no way I'd joke about such a matter...

Ulgorn: Ugh... There's no choice then. This is all we have to rely on right now. Let's do it!

Kolina: In that case, I'd recommend the Old Crypt nearby! It's a perfect place for a ritual for the dead.

Kolina: In the innermost room, there should be an incense burner. I heard lighting it calms the spirits of the dead.

Kolina: Ah! Of course, it's been a while since anyone has been there, so be careful. Who knows what state it's in...

Ulgorn: Another crypt... Well, it's not as if we have much choice. ‹your name›, let's go.

Ulgorn: Okay, I prepared what I could for the next step.

Ulgorn: I'm talking about the second step to lifting the curse. We need to receive a blessing of luck from someone close.

Ulgorn: On the way here, I asked Nemon, Hadala, and Dinoh to write letters. It felt awkward to suddenly ask for items, so a letter seemed more appropriate.

Ulgorn: You know... I've known them for a while, but this is the first time I've ever received letters from them...

Ulgorn: Why am I feeling so nervous...? ‹your name›, could you read them for me?

Ulgorn: All right, let's start with... Hadala's letter.

Ulgorn: Why did she write some letters in a different color...? Did her ink keep running out...? Anyway, next letter!

Ulgorn: ... Huh? There's nothing written here? Next!

Ulgorn: What is this crap? Damn that Dinoh?

Ulgorn: Why does the atmosphere feel so... off? It's like a wraith banquet in here.

Ulgorn: We can't give up now. Let's deal with them.

Ulgorn: Be careful, there are more than we thought.

Ulgorn: Is it over? Getting here was tough, but it was simpler than I thought.

Ulgorn: All right, the first step of lifting the curse is done...

Ulgorn: W-Wait, did you hear a sound from over there? Th-Those caskets... they're moving!

Ulgorn: Is this another trap?

Ulgorn: Will this be okay? We came to perform a ritual...

Ulgorn: Well, may they find peace...

Ulgorn: Is it... Is it over?

Ulgorn: Ahem... Somehow, we ended up defeating all the dead...

Ulgorn: Was this a ritual or an exorcism?

Ulgorn: At... At least they've found peace now... Ahem.

Ulgorn: They're probably happy not to be trapped in those caskets anymore. Let's just say the first step was successful.

Ulgorn: ...What do you mean I'm just kidding myself? Words have power, you know! You'll end up jinxing us after we worked so hard up until now!

Ulgorn: All right, all right, shall we get out of here now? It's getting chilly. We don't want to catch a cold.

Ulgorn: Let's meet back at Safe Haven.

Ulgorn: Wait... it's blocked by a door?

Ulgorn: The Incense Burner is supposed to be in the innermost room...

Ulgorn: This thing's in the way, so we can't get in. Damn it!

Ulgorn: Let's look around for a way to open it.

What's this device...?

I'll check this side.

Obtained Prison Door Key from the corpse's hand.

Ulgorn: Aahhh!

Ulgorn: W-W-What's happening!?

Ulgorn: I touched this device, and the door closed! ‹your name›! Open it! Now!

I thought I'd rot in this chamber forever...

Ulgorn: Phew... You're a lifesaver.

Ulgorn: Why are there so many ominous devices in here?

Ulgorn: But fortunately, after touching that, the door to that hallway also opened.

Ulgorn: Oh? You found a record about the crypt? What did it say?

Ulgorn: It's a tomb of a high noble equipped with traps to prevent grave robbers? Even in death, they only care about material possessions...

Ulgorn: Anyway, the door is open, so let's go inside. We've come this far. We can't give up.

Ulgorn: Be careful, there might be wraiths in the passage, too.

Ulgorn: The door is blocked again. Luckily, there's a device next to it.

Ulgorn: Please don't tell me it's another trap...?

Ulgorn: Great! The door opened!

Ulgorn: These coffins sure are creepy... But I can see the incense burner in the center.

Ulgorn: Now, let's perform the ritual for the dead.

Ulgorn: What do you mean I have to send this to seven people within four days or I'll be cursed for three years?

Ulgorn: I went through all this trouble to lift a curse, and now he curses me again?

Ulgorn: Damn it, I need to get started on those letters immediately.

Ulgorn: I can't afford to face another curse after all this effort. Urgh, what a pain...

Ulgorn: What? You're worried I'll send a letter to you too? Why would I do that after all we've been through together?

Ulgorn: Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Anyway, thanks for your help. I have to go write letters now.
