Artis: Would ya mind coming back a bit later? Look at all this darn paper work!

Kabbu: (Hm. I shouldn't disrupt his work.)

[After getting permit, First talk]

Artis: Phew... Finally done. Sometimes work just doesn't stop coming!

Vi: Uh, okay. Who are you again?

Artis: Excuse ya! I'm Artis, and I keep this place running.

Kabbu: Oh? Thank you for all your hard work.

Vi: Uh, yeah. Thanks.

Artis: So you two faced Maki, eh? Bet ya found it a tad too easy?

Vi: You know it!

Artis: Heh. I see you lot like challenge. One sec, I have this one thing... Please take it.

Textbox: Medals cost MP to equip, be sure to check how much you have left!

Kabbu: What is this? A Medal?

Artis: Let's say it should make things more interesting for ya. The higher the risk, the higher the reward, as they say.

Artis: If you defeat any powerful enemies while wearing it, come see me, alright?

Vi: I won't say no to free stuff! You've got a deal!

Kabbu: Thank you for entrusting us with it. Take care, Artis.

Artis: Safe exploring, folks. Remember to check in every now and then.

[subsequent talks]

Artis: What're ya waiting for? Go explore! I gotta deal with the work coming in.

Artis: Hey! You're back. Let's see how you have been doing with that Medal of mine.

[Beat a qualifying boss]

Artis: Hmmm! Good job, folks! You defeated that hardened |string,0|!

Artis: Was it too challenging for ya? You deserve a reward. Here, take this!

[haven’t]

Artis: Hmmm... You haven't really defeated any hard-headed foes yet, have you?

Artis: Fret not, though. Nothing is lost in this world, only found in different ways.

Artis: That's how life works, eh?

[more than one at once]

Artis: Oh ho! You've been on a roll! Beat |string,0| too, eh? Here, take this as well!

[unbranching]

Artis: Come back later when you've bonked some extra hard heads with that Medal, will ya?

[first wasp invasion]

Artis: ...It's rough, ain't it? Sorry, but we'll talk rewards later...

Kabbu: That's Artis the Mantis. He is the accountant of the association, and someone who loves challenges.

Kabbu: I've heard he gives prizes to members that have accomplished difficult tasks recently.

Vi: By the time we're done, he won't have any prizes left to give out!
