Etrian Odyssey 3: The Drowned City "Dub Over"
haydn for King Seyfried
"Hm... I see that this princess wishes to establish cordial relations. I see also that there are countless skilled explorers in Armoroad investigating the Labyrinth. There is more here besides... But it is a private matter and does not concern you. My response to these proposals cannot be a hasty one. I need time to consider this. I will allow you to stay in the Deep City for one full day as I ponder this letter. I will give my answer tomorrow. Be here then to receive it."
<to himself> "So these are the explorers who defeated my dear Ketos... It would be child's play to deal with them here in my Deep City with no one the wiser. But such a show of strength... I fear it may be counter to my aim of annihilating the Deep Ones. If they fail, then the matter is ended. These 'explorers' and their power could be a fine tool..."
"I shall open the Deep City's facilities to you. I recommend the Twinkling Tavern as a base. This all must be so strange and new to you... A city at the bottom of the sea. But don't hold back. So long as you do nothing to inconvenience us, you are free to do as you wish.
