Quest Involved	Infested Plants, Supply and Delivery

Ope is a major character in Infested Plants and Supply and Delivery. He requests the player and Tasim to get a Saccharum plant in the former, although he leaves without paying Tasim and the player for their troubles. He later reappears in the latter tasked with delivering a Village Supply Crate to Alekin Village, but he can't do so as he is banned from the Trade Market, so he instead makes the player do his dirty work for him.

Dialogue

Supply and Delivery

Underlevelled:

• Ope: Oh, man… What am I going to do now…
• Ope: O-oh! H-hello soldier! I, uh… can’t talk right now. I’m on… very official business! You know how it is, I’m sure.
• Ope: So. Uh… Talk to you later! Maybe when you’re Level 16, I’ll… have time! Probably!

Talking to Ope before purchasing the crate with Tasim on an Ironman character:

• Ope: Well? Did you convince the other guy to- oh… hey there…! Good to see you again…?
• Tasim: Uh… You know what. The mayor paid us for you, so… I’ll let it go. I’ll just… go buy the thing now.

Talking to Ope after showing him the crate without going to Alekin Village yet:

• Ope: Hey! I- uh, I can’t help but notice that. You’re still here. With the crate. You need to bring it to Alekin Village, remember?

Lost the
Village Supply Crate:

• Ope: Hey! I- uh, I think you left this crate behind. When you ran off. You should, you know, maybe bring it this time…?

First Conversation

• Ope: ...Oh. It's you.
• Ope: I- eheh. Sorry, I can't really keep up the whole... schtich. Right now.
• Ope: ...
• Ope: What, do you have someone to mourn as well? Plenty of bonfires 'round here. I'm sure you can find somewhere else to do it.
• Ope: ...No? No. Alright. Guess we'll stand here together.

Following Conversations

• Ope: ...Still here, huh?
  • [1] Who are you mourning?
    • Ope: Oh. Right, you- you wouldn't know. New-ish Wynn soldier, and all. You lot are from Fruma, aren't you?
    • Ope: ...I'm stalling. It's- my mother.
    • Ope: Wasn't taken by the corruption. Wasn't this year, either. Was some stupid spiders that got her.
    • Ope: And, you know, this world is a dangerous place to live in! I'd know. Don't I know it.
    • Ope: Still feels- unfair, I guess. Like she should still be here.
    • Ope: I've got my uncle, of course- the, uh, mayor of Alekin, you'd know. He's... fine. He tries his best.
    • Ope: It's not the same, though.
    • Ope: ...
    • Ope: Yeah, coming here was a mistake. I'll probably head off again soon, find a place to stay... who knows where.
    • Ope: Nice talking to you, soldier. Even if we haven't had the best of interactions.
  • [1] Why do you always try to scam people?
    • Ope: Call it my primary personality quirk.
    • Ope: It's not- it's not about scamming people, exactly. That's a byproduct, sure, but...
    • Ope: ...You know, he just- he never really reacts to it. Not in any way that matters.
    • Ope: I just... I want him to see that I'm causing problems. I want him to- to see me for who I really am.
    • Ope: Someone not worth wasting time on! Someone who you can't trust! Someone who never really got over-!...
    • Ope: ...It's just the way I spend my time. Nothing more, nothing less.
  • [2] Any memories you have of her?
    • Ope: Memories, huh? Sure, I have some of those.
    • Ope: She was distant, by the end. Spent more time focusing on her student than she did on me.
    • Ope: And isn't that funny? He's not even here to mourn her. Nope, just good ol' Ope, happy ol' Ope, never-caused-trouble Ope.
    • Ope: Just me, and not him.
    • Ope: ...Didn't say any of them were good, did I?
  • [3] Still here.
    • Ope: Guess you are. Huh.

Inviting to Snow Storm Detlas

• Ope: ...Huh? Who's- oh. It's you.
• Ope: ...Uh. So what exactly are you doing here at my home?
  • [1] There's a festival in Detlas.
    • Ope: Oh, yeah. I remember that one. Blizzard, right?
    • Ope: I don't know. I was just planning on celebrating the holidays out here, on my own. Which! Is going fine!
    • Ope: ...
    • Ope: Alright, fine, you got me. Maybe I don't actually want to spend the holidays out in the woods alone! Sue me.
    • Ope: But if you're offering an invite- sure. I'll take it. I'll come to Detlas for the festival.
  • [2] This is your home?
    • Ope: Well- okay, look. Technically, it's the mayor's cabin. But I stay here when I'm- uh. Taking some time for myself.
    • Ope: ...Don't look at me like that! I'm- I'm living a normal life out here.
  • [3] Just passing through the area.
    • Ope: ...Right. Well, uh, good luck with that, I guess.

Talking to Ope before arriving in Detlas

• Ope: ...What? I said I'd come.

In Snow Storm Detlas

First Conversation

• Ope: Hm... What am I going to do- g-gah! You have got to stop sneaking up on me.
• Ope: So, fine, alright, merry Craftmas or whatever. You got me to show up! Good job, you.
• Ope: ...It's nice, here. I might stick around a while. The snow really adds to the atmosphere.

Following Conversations

• Ope: ...Hey! Anything you, uh, need?
  • [1] Are you participating in the gift-giving?
    • Ope: ...I guess so? Is that- expected of people?
    • Ope: No, yeah, sure, uh... I'm doing that. Yep.
    • Ope: Just... shoot. Give me a moment.
    • Ope: ...I've got it! Here you are.
    • [+384 Emeralds]
    • Ope: It's all the money I owe you! You know, from- yep.
    • Ope: So. Hope that's all good now?
  • [2] What's the deal with the cabin you were at?
    • Ope: ...Right! The cabin. It belong to the mayor before he- you know. Became the mayor.
    • Ope: I think he still owns it, but it's not like he ever uses it. So, you know, free real estate and all that.
    • Ope: ...He probably knows I've been staying there. Not like he's ever gonna talk to me about it, though!
    • Ope: Kinda wish he would, if only to tell me to get out of there. But, nope. Silence.
  • [3] Do you know any of the people here?
    • Didn't invite Asher:
      • Ope: Can't say I am, no. Well, besides the people I've just seen walking around. People live here, y'know?
    • Invited Asher:
      • Ope: I wish I could say I didn't! Most of the people are fine, but then there's him. Who even invited him!
      • Ope: Wish I could get him to leave, but no, the holidays are for everyone apparently! Ugh.
      • Ope: Bet you don't even know who I'm talking about, do you? His name's Asher, and he's my greatest enemy in the world.
        • [1] Oh, I invited him.
          • Ope: You did what?! Why would you go and do something like that?! Now I have to... share the same space with him! For an expended period of time!
          • Ope: Oh, I'll get him. I'll get him good. He won't even see it coming...
        • [2] ...Never heard of him.
          • Ope: Yeah, and you're lucky for it. Me, on the other hand? I have to share the same space with him! For an extended period of time!
          • Ope: Oh, I'll get him. I'll get him good. He won't even see it coming...
  • [3] What's wrong with Asher?
    • Ope: Oh, don't even get me started. He-...
    • Ope: ...Okay, look. This is stuff that is hard to get into. He was my mom's student before she passed, and ever since then things have been... weird.
    • Ope: Before then, even! He's just... insufferable. I hate him. I wish him harm. Is that so wrong?
  • [4] Nope.
    • Ope: Cool! Cool. Alright.
