Dialogue
First interaction
Arno: Your sweat betrays you, offwolder. Your body's shedding all the excess nutrients they pumped you full of in the prison racks. A smell like that you never forget. Player: Those are keen senses, how did you know about the prison racks? Arno: I'm an offwolder like yourself, And Heighliner travel in the Steerage Racks isn't much better.
Second interaction
Arno: You have returned, offworlder.
Player: Who are you?
Arno: That depends on the day, Today, I'm an instructor. I can show you the ways of the swordsman-for a price.
Player: And you're not some charlatan waving a blade about?
Arno: The proof of my claim would be swift and final.
Player: What does that mean?
Arno: It means I could have your head separated from your body before your next heartbeat.
Player: Spoken like a true swordmaster.
Arno: True' maybe pushing it, But I'm intimately familiar with the teachings of Jool-Noret and Ginaz School.
Player: What can you tell me about the area?
Arno: Its like any other frontier pesthole, Full of misfits who couldn't make it in the social order.
Player: What Kind of Misfits?
Arno: All kinds. The Sandflies are probably the closest. Would-be anarchists with delusions of grandeur.
Player: Who else is out there?
Arno: Since where talking 'Delusional', there's the Maas Kharet over by the old power station at Mysa Tarill.
Player: The Maas Kharet?
Arno: They're new around these parts, but dont take 'em lightly-they're here in force.
Player: Are the Maas Kharet bandits?
Arno: Worse, They're true believers. Some kind of local cargo cult built around perverted Fremen doctrines. They might rob you or possibly eat you.
Player: Goodbye. <leave>
