• “Ya see, there's a real out-o'-tha-way place here in Elderfield, what most folks don't visit if they don't have ta.”
• “The thing is though... even in places folks don't want to go... the fish like just fine.”
• “The place I'm talkin' about is the ol' Catacombs.”

• “I've heard tell o' a fish called a Bonefish down there.”
• “A fish with no skin, jus' all bones, if ya can believe it!”

• “As ya might've heard, I host a regular fishin' contest down at the Old Woods Campsite every other week.”
• “It started as a simple bit o' fun, but folks've been takin' it real serious lately.”
• “So serious, in fact, that they've been bringin' their A-game, and usin' special bait to get an edge.”
• “Since they started usin' Lugworms out there, I hear they've been pullin' up some real unusual fish.”
• “One I heard stories about is an Ancient Manta, what drifts in from the deep see jus' ta get them Lugworms.”
• “If ya fancy comin' down ta the fishin' contest sometime, you can buy some special Bait Packs what might have Lugworms in em'.”
• “Reel in one o' them mantas, and come show it ta me, if you can manage!”
• “Pull that off, an' I'll have a mighty fine reward for ya.”
