Nekoht

Pokke Village. 75 lines, in the order the game keeps them.

Hmm... You wish to handle one of my quests, do you? Very well. Choose a level of Quest.
I believe you should be able to fulfill one of these quests.
Hmm, I see. 'Tis a shame. I shall cancel your contract in this case.
I have faith in you. Godspeed.
Is there anything else I may do for you?
Hmm, I see. 'Tis a shame. Please return when you are ready.
I do believe you are coming up a bit short. Shocking.
Hmm, what's this? I see that you are wearing the face of one who wishes to cancel a contract. Am I correct?
Yes, I believe this Quest will give you little trouble. Would you like to try your hand at it?
Hmm... So you are one of the hunters of this village, are you?
...I suppose you pass muster. However... it seems you still have much to learn, nya... *ahem* I mean, much to learn, yes.
You should take on some work from the granny over there. Surely, she has some jobs that will help you further develop your skills.
Once you feel more confident in your skill and prowess, come speak with me again. I may be of more help to you at that point.
Hmm? So you... are a hunter of this village, are you? Ho ho, I see that you are quite advanced.
Hmm, I hate to be a terrible bother, however, I have a request I wish to make of you. I hope you would be so kind as to show me your strength.
I don't wish to make a big fuss about it, but I have been on the lookout for a strong hunter, nya... I mean, yes.
Ah, but you don't have to take on the job right now. Feel free to come back and speak with me when you are ready.
Hmm, to have defeated the Hypnocatrice on your own is truly astounding. I am satisfied that I have witnessed your true might.
I now grant you the right to initiate Quests with me.
I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is... a secret. However, people call me "Nekoht". Invoke my name with care.
Quests I introduce to you are similar to the granny's. They are solo Quests, however, their difficulty will make her Quests seem like a cakewalk.
To use the Guild's Quests as a guide, these Quests are comparable to High Rank Quests, which are recommended for more than one person.
I am also obligated to warn you that High Rank Quest conditions apply to these Quests. For example, supplies might be delayed from time to time.
You may even start a Quest at an unknown location far away from your base camp.
However, you may be pleased to know that the ores and monster materials you may find will also be equivalent to that of the High Rank Quests.
Hmm, I have to say, though, that if you wish to simply gather materials or hunt with a friend, it would be better for you to do so through the Guild.
That is not to say that there are no unique monster materials to be found here, for some beasts can only be hunted on my Quests.
That's not all. A few of my Quests will send you out to places that are only accessible at the Guild through their G-Level Quests.
Some of the finer details of the Quests may also be different from their Guild counterparts, but I'll leave you to dig these out on your own.
Ah, excuse me for going on at length, but these are the sort of Quests I wish for your assistance with... in secret, of course.
There will also be Quests that the general populace will be aware of, however, they are of the troublesome sort. You will see soon enough.
At least know this: The old granny and the Crafting Shop owner are both aware of these Quests. You'd be at a disadvantage if they didn't, yes?
When you are ready, feel free to come speak with me again. Farewell for now.
Hmm, acceptable, yes. You are progressing quite nicely, dear Hunter, to the point where I wonder if you find these Quests to be a bit of a bore?
Perhaps it is time to allow you to take on a higher level?
Do you know of the one-horned wyvern that lives in the desert, the Monoblos? There is a subspecies that is white, you know.
Normally, the two species do not mingle, however, they have been spotted together recently, leaving casualties in their wake.
I humbly request that you hunt these two monsters down. I believe this to be a difficult Quest, but I also believe that you will succeed.
Do not feel pressured; there is no rush. Take your time, prepare well, and depart when you are ready. Farewell for now.
That you were able to defeat both the Monoblos and its subspecies twin at the same time... Simply incredible, Hunter.
Having confirmed with my own eyes the power within you, I believe it is high time I introduced you to the Level 8 Quests.
The monsters are harder than any you have faced before, and they will be tough for one person to handle alone, so I implore you to use caution.
Hmm, I know this isn't much, but I hope it will aid you in one manner or another. Farewell for now.
Hmm, you seem to be doing well, Hunter. It would appear that I underestimated you.
By the by, have you heard of the monster known as "Nargacuga"? It is a recently discovered creature which the Guild seems quite interested in.
A black wyvern with a love of the dark, it dwells in the Great Forest. Its strength is so great that even the Guild's research team is no match.
Needless to say, they were not able to gather much information, so we need you. Will you go to the Great Forest and do this for us?
I know it will be dangerous, however, I believe you have what it takes to help. If you don't feel ready, a readjustment of your equipment may suffice.
It is astounding, absolutely astounding. You defeated the Nargacuga on your own, nya!
Hmm, I do believe it is time to grant you the right to initiate the highest-ranked, Level 9 Quests.
These solo Quests are difficult, to be sure, however, in terms of monsters' strength, the Gathering Hall's G-Level Quests' are stronger.
I have great expectations of you, so please give it your all. Also, this may not be much, but it should help in some way. Farewell for now.
Ah, what good timing, Hunter! I have received a job that I wish for you specifically to handle, nya.
It is a request regarding a certain very dangerous wyvern called the Akantor, nya! I believe you may have already heard of this monster, nya?
I humbly ask that you go forth and slay this creature, in secret of course, and by yourself, nya.
This mission is of the utmost importance, nya. If word of this wyvern's presence were to be leaked, it would cause mass confusion and chaos, nya!
*ahem* ...I mean, it would cause mass confusion and chaos, yes. Hmm, you must excuse my unrefined manner of speaking just now.
Pardon? Why do I find "nya" to be unrefined?
Well, never you mind. In any case, it doesn't concern you. I only request that you focus on the Akantor issue, if you please.
Magnificent, Hunter. Truly magnificent work.
To have defeated the Akantor on your own, it's no wonder the granny sings your praises day and night.
Oh, perhaps I am speaking too loudly. As you know, this must be kept a secret, and I especially do not wish for the Gathering Hall Manager to know.
I'm almost embarrassed to give you such a worthless reward, however, please accept it and forgive me for not having something better to give.
Actually, I will share one thing... I am currently on a secret mission with the Guild.
It is hard to enter into them publicly, however, my job is to secretly match strong hunters to the most difficult of Quests and contract them.
But humans tend to treat us as inferiors when Felynes use such words as "nya", which is why for the sake of the Guild's image, I refrain from using it.
Ah, dear Hunter. A special request has come in from the Guild for you. This will also be, perhaps, the last quest I will be introducing to you.
To be honest, I am reluctant to introduce this Quest to you, however, it is my duty, and I must do what I must.
Pardon? Will this be yet another difficult Quest? Hmm, well... I cannot deny that it is.
It is a quest to test your strength and skills, however, I believe you may pass with the equipment you have acquired through your G-Level work.
While there is life, there is hope. Do not become careless and good luck, dear Hunter.
Well, it seems that I may have grossly underestimated you, Hunter!
*ahem* Pardon? Ah, no it is nothing like that. That you were able to overcome the challenges of that Quest is a wonderful thing.
Oh, yes, this reward arrived for you from the Guild. In secret, of course. Please use it as you wish.
With this, you have completed all of the Quests I have for you. Much has happened, however, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Hunter.
