Dig Wandering the campsite (random) "Hunter: Careful, boy. One false step in that hole, and... snap! You and all your things belong to the well, now. I seen it happen." "Hunter: Stand for too long, and the Hexcavators' accursed Omega Saw is bound to appear. Though imposing, it is dodgeable." Sitting alone by the campfire "Hunter: There be brutal monsters in the depth. But fear not, for no beast escapes my whip." Sitting by the campfire with the Lamp Lighter "Hunter: And so, roused by the Vicar's curse, the ancient ones shambled forth. When the blood moon hangs high, our hunt shall begin." "Lamp Lighter: ...What in the world are you talking about?" Sitting by the campfire with the a navy-clothed Adventurer, the Meleeist and the Caster "Hunter: To get the Omega Driver, we'll be dealing with sacrifice shrines and caved in-walls. Then we need to use it in the treasure room... But how?" Talked to in a side-room "Hunter: Oh, hello! Would you like this spare relic? I'm too invested in my current weapon to switch to a new one." Talked to again "Hunter: I'm sure if I go just a bit further down, I'll find a ladder or something to use as a shortcut. That's how it usually works, right?"
