Dialogue

General
First Encounter Aha! Another warrior finds their way to our fair Colosseum. Ours is the final destination for all seeking trials of intense and deadly combat.

All one has to do is place their mark upon their Trial Board of choice and lo! The arena's gate will open.
There's a small fee attached to each trial, but I'm sure as skilled a combatant as yourself will have accrued a wealth of Geo.
Now, before you draw your nail and rush eagerly to battle, I'll offer one quick word of advice.
There's a warriors' pit just below here, where others like yourself await their own trials. I'd strongly advise using it to rest up before placing your mark.
Oh and have no doubt, I'm a fearsome warrior myself. Don't go judging me by my size, or my current... errr... constraint. The Colosseum beckons us both! I'll be back in battle soon.

Listening after returning Welcome back, warrior!
Servicing entry to the Trials Offering:
  • Make a contribution, and you can enter the Trial of the Warrior/Conqueror/Fool.

Refusing:

  • You won't make a contribution? No one ever won glory by clinging to their Geo...

Not enough Geo:

  • Ah, you lack the Geo to make a contribution. We can't make an exception, I'm afraid. Return once you are worthier... and wealthier.

Paying:

  • Very well then, a new trial is open to you. I hope your performance is spectacular...

Listening again:

  • To enter a trial, step over to the board and place your mark. From that point on, your destiny is your own...
Listening after placing a mark You've placed your mark, and the great gate has opened. Go on! Step into the Colosseum and cut your way to victory.
Listening after placing a mark and leaving the Colosseum You placed your mark and left! What cowardice! Maybe you don't have what it takes?

A true warrior strides unstopping into battle. They gain strength by vanquishing others, not in flight from them.

After beating the Trial of the Fool A true fool keeps on fighting, even when there is no more glory to be gained. Step over to a board and make your mark! Show us how foolish you truly are!
Dream Nailed Lord Fool, give me another chance. I'll prove my strength to you!
Trial board Interactions
Interacting with a board before paying Stop there! That trial is closed to those who haven't made the proper contribution. Step over here, quickly, and bring your Geo with you!
Interacting with a locked board Not so fast! That trial is closed to those without the proper experience. Try one of the other trials first.

Location

Little Fool is located in the Colosseum of Fools, in the entrance room.
