Positive Affection
Milestone Rewards Letter
300 Affection

This is a letter from me, Nigel. You can see the proof that this is a letter from me at the end of this letter where I have written my signature. I’ve never sent a letter before. Usually I just run very fast to see someone and tell them things face to face.

I think you live too far for me to run all the way there. Until I get fast enough to do that, I’ll keep sending you letters.

Your friend, and here is my signature,

Nigel

500 Affection

World-hopper!

I was told that I should add a greeting to letters, so I shall do that from now on!

I hope you're eating lots of vegetables, or whatever you like to eat! Also, how about stopping by some time? You're probably busy traveling the world, but you could make Silvie's Mine one of your destinations!

Hope to see you soon,

Nigel

800 Affection

Hi World-hopper,

Last night I had a dream where the dead rose up and attacked the town, and you were there! You weren’t dead though, you were alive and Visindy and Cairn were there too. They were also alive, obviously, and we all defended the town!

It was great and you were really strong! I’m writing to tell you that I was impressed by your dream monster-fighting super skills. If it ever happens in real life when I’m awake I’ll write another letter to you and then you can come help.

Your comrade in arms,

Nigel

1,100 Affection

This is an official missive from the Silvie’s Mine Guard Committee declaring you helper citizen of the year! The vote was unanimous, since the only people on the committee are me and Visindy and Cairn and sometimes Thomas, but everyone except me is only an honorary member.

I think you should be an honorary member of the committee too. I think you’re very smart and you’d have good plans if we ever got attacked or had to throw a really big party on short notice. You don’t really have to do anything, just come to our aid if we ever summon you.

I’m glad we’re friends. I like seeing you when you come visit me and I like writing you letters, too. I hope they make you happy!

Your reliable buddy,

Nigel

1,500 Affection

Do you like rocks? I found one in my house today. It was inside my shoe when I put it on. If you turn it to the side and close one eye and squint and hold it up to a glass of water this rock kind of looks like me! Or I might have just been seeing my reflection.

Anyway, I've been very worried about your safety when I'm not around. I know you're very strong and capable, but everyone needs someone watching their back. If you're near me then I can instantly jump in to defent you, but what about when you're not?

You're one of my very best friends. I want you to be safe! Maybe this gem will bring you good luck and protect you when I'm not around.

Your forever guardian,

Nigel

Player Birthday (300 Affection)

Is it your birthday, world-hopper? Wow! I bet you've grown a little. Make sure to measure yourself to see if you got taller!

I was really worried that I'd forget your birthday. I wrote it down on my wall so I'd remember to send you a present. I hope you like this! I think it's something useful for someone a little older to have.

Negative Affection
Milestone Rewards Letter
-400 Affection

Dear world-hopper,

I do not often write letters—I think this might be my first one actually—but sometimes one must wield the pen before escalating to the sword. I (Nigel) am writing to you (world-hopper) to inform you that your actions have been reportedly suspicious as of late by residents of the mine (me, Nigel.)

Sylvie's Mine Guard Committee Chair & Concerned Citizen,

Nigel

-900 Affection

Dear world-hopper,

I am writing you now to inform you that the Guard Committee has issued a citation to you for dubious and callous behavior. Please cease and desist at once!

Sylvie's Mine Guard Committee Chair,

Nigel

-1,500 Affection

Dear world-hopper,

Unfortunately I have been told that I can't ban you from the mine, despite my authority as Committee Chair. Probably because the committee isn't actually official - yet. I am writing to inform you that eventually the committee will be made official! Expect another letter soon. Maybe I'll even have official stationary, with a letterhead and everything! Do you think I should commission a seal? I've heard that letters should be sealed, or that they're stamped with a seal. Something about a seal...

Sylvie's Mine Guard Committee Chair,

Nigel

Chit Chat[]

Chit-chatting with a NPC will give you a maximum of +1 Affection. per day. They will repeat the same sentences over and over, but it’s a nice way of getting to know a bit more about Dappervolk and its inhabitants.

Low Affection:

  • "I made up a poem... If you do crime, you’re worse than slime! Catchy, right?"
  • "Look sharp! You never know what’s hiding around the corner here..."
  • "There isn’t a lot of crime in Silvie’s Mine. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing such a good job!"
  • "This armor is pretty comfortable once you get used to it. You should try it sometime!"

High Affection:

  • "If the mine ever needs saving, I’d be glad to have you helping at my side."
  • "World-hopper… I’ll protect you! Even when you’re not in danger! I mean it!"
  • "If I ever perish in the line of duty, you can inherit my armor. I think it’d look good on you!"


Trivia[]

  • A dream of his begins with defending the town from attacking dragons by making friends with them, then riding the dragons into battle and flying to the mountain's peak.
