10TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_00Khulan has a point to prove.
21TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_01Khulan declares that the time has come to prove once and for all that Mauci is not, and never was, a master swordsman. She bids you head to a cave to the west known as the Hundred–and–one Revelations to meet an Uyagiri udgan. While you make your way there, Khulan says she shall find Mauci and bring him along shortly.
32TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_02You come face–to–face with the udgan known as Ibakha. She instantly realizes that it is not you with whom she has business, beckoning Mauci to join you in the cave. Ibakha is ultimately unable to tell Mauci anything of his past life, but advises him to accept the present for only it, and not history, will lead to his future.
43TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_03Mauci, even more convinced his name is an ill fit, decides to tell the villagers that he is going to abandon training with a sword in favor of honing his hand-to-hand combat skills. Khulan suggests that Mauci slay a Matanga and bring back some of its fangs as proof of his newfound strength. You head with Mauci to the north in search of the creature.
54TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_04Mauci asks you to keep any other creatures that appear at bay while he dispatches the Matanga. You keep watch for beasts while Mauci goes to lock horns with the creature.
65TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_05There are initially no signs of any other beasts, but you choose to continue to keep watch just in case.
76TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_06As expected, several beasts eventually appear and you make short work of them. Noticing that Mauci has successfully vanquished his foe as well, you head over to speak with him.
87TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_07Mauci bids you return to the village without him as he still needs to collect a few of his foe's fangs. He also asks that you inform Khulan of his success, lest his friend be left worrying.
98TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_08Khulan requests that the villagers all gather to listen to a message Mauci wishes to deliver to them. The troubled Dotharli boy declares to the crowd that he is not Mauci of the Seven and Seven Swords and will never again take up a blade. However, Mergen laughs this off, stating that not all the previous Maucis were skilled swordsmen. This leaves Mauci somewhat deflated as he realizes all his turmoil up until now had been for naught.
109TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SEQ_09Mauci wishes he had been told sooner of his various past selves, but is relieved that his struggle is over at last. He thanks both you and Khulan for your help, Khulan remarking that she is glad her friend can remain in Dotharl Khaa.

4948TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_000It is time to prove that Mauci is not, and never was, a master swordsman. We will need to get our hands on some concrete evidence.
5049TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_001I know of an Uyagiri udgan who is said to know all that ever was and shall ever be. Let us ask her about Mauci.
5150TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_002Head to a cave to the west known as the Hundred–and–one Revelations. That is where the udgan dwells. I shall fetch Mauci and bring him there.
5251TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_010Come closer, weary traveler. You have done well to find me. Though, it is not you with whom I need speak.
5352TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_011Ah, Player, good to see you made it here with no problems. Have you spoken with the udgan?
5453TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_012I must admit, I am impressed she knew it was I and not Player that required her guidance.
5554TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_013I am also aware of exactly what troubles you, child of the Dotharl. Tell me what you wish to know.
5655TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_014Am I truly Mauci of the Seven and Seven Swords reincarnate?
5756TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_015That...I do not know.
5857TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_016Uyagiri udgan have never professed to know the past, only the future. I cannot see your previous life, but I *can* tell you that you shall become a great warrior someday.
5958TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_017If that is all you wish to know then you may take your leave. I need no thanks. Focus your sights on the present, as it will lead to your future; you need not dwell in the past.
6059TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_020Focus my sights on the present... I suppose I ought to let the villagers know once and for all that I am not Mauci of the Seven and Seven Swords.
6160TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_021I would rather be banished from the village for denying the khatun's judgment than continue to live this lie.
6261TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_022My fists are the best weapon available to me. This I realized after we parted ways in the desert. I shall train with a blade no longer.
6362TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_023If your mind is made up, then you should show your newfound strength to the villagers. Prove that you have no need of a sword.
6463TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_024Go to the north and do battle with a Matanga. Slay it in hand-to-hand combat and bring back its fangs as proof of your victory. Do this and even the khatun will be forced to accept the truth.
6564TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_025Thank you for all your help, Khulan. I shall do just that.
6665TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_026Player, please accompany me. I require a witness.
6766TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_027I have not seen Mauci this enthusiastic in a long time. I eagerly await your triumphant return.
6867TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_035Long, long ago the Uyagir were a tribe ruled by their gluttony. However, they eventually realized the error of their ways, choosing to meditate in caves like this one.
6968TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_IBAKHA_000_036I do not control the young one's destiny. It is up to him which path he chooses.
7069TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_040Thank you for coming. I shall slay the beast shortly. Please make sure nothing gets in my way.
7170TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_041Other creatures may be drawn here by the fighting. Make sure to take care of them.
7271TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_SYSTEM_000_045The area appears to be free of foes.
7372TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_050(-Mauci-)Player, I have triumphed!
7473TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_060I bested it with my fists alone. Your help was key. For that, you have my thanks.
7574TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_061You may return to the village first. I still need to extract some of the beast's fangs. Do make sure to tell Khulan of my success!
7675TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_070It is good to know all went well.
7776TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_071I have requested that the villagers gather as Mauci has something to share with them. Sadly, not all of them responded to my call.
7877TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_072It will truly be a shame if Mauci is banished from the village. But it is preferable to him continuing to struggle.
7978TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_073Thank you all for coming today! I have something important to share.
8079TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_074I...I am *not* Mauci of the Seven and Seven Swords!
8180TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_075I have awoken to my true path. My skills lie in hand-to-hand combat. Never again shall I wield a sword! Here are the fangs of a Matanga that I bested with my bare hands.
8281TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_076I have also slain a manzasiri by Nhaama's Retreat. Player, the traveler amongst you, bore witness to both these duels!
8382TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_077It is not my wish to deny the khatun. But I have no choice. Banish me if you must, for there is no other path left to me.
8483TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_DOTHARLAUDIENCE02792_000_078(-Dotharli Chap-)To think you beat a Matanga with just your fists. That's our Mauci!
8584TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MERGEN_000_079Did no one think to tell you? The previous Maucis fought with a range of different weapons.
8685TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MERGEN_000_080The last one may have been skilled with a sword, but the Mauci before him was a master of the bow. It is no surprise you find your skills lie elsewhere. You will, however, need a new name. Perhaps Mauci of the Seven and Seven Fists would be adequate?
8786TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_081In short, my worrying has been for naught?
8887TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_085You may return to the village first. I still need to extract a few of the beast's fangs. Do make sure to tell Khulan of my success!
8988TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_090It is a relief that I get to keep my name, but I struggle to be truly happy. Why did no one tell me of the other Maucis sooner?
9089TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_091This is doubtless what the udgan meant. Focus your sights on the present. I am just glad you can continue living here!
9190TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_092Khulan, and Player, I am truly sorry for wasting your time. However, I must also thank you. You two have helped guide me to this new path I must now walk.
9291TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_MAUCI_000_093I shall train like never before. It is up to me to do this new name justice.
9392TEXT_STMBDZ616_02794_KHULAN_000_095Thank you, Player. It delights me to know Mauci can remain in Dotharl Khaa.
