During the quest

Chatty SolonSome things only become real once they're spoken aloud! Now, ask me anything!
YouTell me about the pirates.
Chatty SolonPirates! Greedier than a cursed chest and emptier in the head than a hollow seashell! They came here chasing gold, but they had no clue the Dark Blades had already taken this place over! And so began the clash between the two clans! And as you can see, the pirates won and seized that cliff! But those idiots wrecked their own ship in fighting! What kind of pirates can't even sail on their ship? Who would call them pirates now? They're just a bunch of idiotic monkeys! (laugh)
YouIdiotic monkeys...
Chatty SolonBut guess what? The Dark Blades never really left. They're still hiding nearby. They're just waiting for the pirates to repair their ship. What do you think will happen the day they're finally done with it? Thankfully, none of that concerns me! Hah! But you'd better watch your back too. Easier to patch a hole in a ship than one in your skull!
Chatty SolonYou wanna know about Hutan, the laziest fellow around? Oh, he's truly amazing! Once he falls asleep, nothing can wake him up! But that ogre actually has a rather tragic past.
YouA tragic past?
Chatty SolonShh. I'll tell you quietly in case anyone overhears. Long ago, some orcs tried to drag Hutan off as a slave. Half asleep, he swung one arm and turned half the tribe into minced meat! Take a guess. What do you think the enraged orc shaman did to Hutan next? The shaman cursed him so he could never eat meat again! Horrible, isn't it? (groan) When Hutan gets hungry, he just chews on some grass and cries... It's so sad, really. Why don't you go pat him on the back?
YouYou want me to go pat an ogre on the back?
Chatty SolonOf course I'm joking! The real curse was far worse—it made it impossible for him to fall asleep again. Imagine that for someone who loved sleeping more than anything. No wonder he's gotten so temperamental. Maybe you should sing him a lullaby? There's a side path on the way to the pirate hideout. Go straight up, and you'll find him. If you end up going, try comforting him a little. I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Chatty SolonOh, those two? I thought they were together, but I guessed wrong. I assumed it was some lovers' quarrel at first, but no! They didn't even know each other.
YouTell me more about them.
Chatty SolonWell, that lady... She was so intimidating that I couldn't even bring myself to talk to her. The whole time, she was mumbling something about a cave, gold, and a cliff like she was chanting some creepy spell. Then suddenly she marched straight toward the dangerous pirate hideout! I tried to stop her, of course. But she ignored every warning I gave her and kept walking straight! Nothing could've stopped her, I swear! Never seen a woman that fierce before.
YouWhat about the man?
Chatty SolonOh... The man walked through, drenched in blood with a murderous look on his face. I pretended to ask him directions...but spotted a dagger at his waist! That thing had an eerie shine to it... Like it was made for cutting throats!
YouWhich way did he go?
Chatty SolonHe went west, where the Dark Blades have gathered. Now that I think of it, maybe he's gone to take revenge against the Dark Blades. Who knows.
