I saw someone mention speaking with Klandicar but didn't notice this posted anywhere, so here it is:

[Sat May 18 17:32:26 2019] Logging to 'eqlog.txt' is now *ON*.
[Sat May 18 17:32:28 2019] You say, 'Hail, Klandicar'
[Sat May 18 17:32:28 2019] Klandicar says, 'Oi, what is this? A Wood Elf, if my tired old eyes are not mistaken. Knew it would happen. Sooner rather than later. No stopping the flood now, eh?'
[Sat May 18 17:32:38 2019] You say, 'What flood?'
[Sat May 18 17:32:38 2019] Klandicar says, 'The flood of beings to Velious. Starts with a trickle, like all floods. Sweeps the old away in the end, leaving a new landscape. Blessing and shame that I will not be around to see it all unfold.'
[Sat May 18 17:32:55 2019] You say, 'Why will you not be around?'
[Sat May 18 17:32:55 2019] Klandicar says, 'I will be leaving this world soon enough, I think. Too tired to continue this existence, too jaded to believe tomorrow would be any different than today. Seeing you here is the most exciting thing that has happened to me in aeons, and even that isn't enough to make me want to continue. Yes, it is the Necropolis for me, and the swift embrace of fire, and then my dust shall fly free as I once did.'
[Sat May 18 17:37:00 2019] You say, 'You were free?'
[Sat May 18 17:37:00 2019] Klandicar says, 'Dragons have never been truly free. The Claws, the Ring, the One Who Sleeps, our very nature, all conspire to keep us enslaved. We cannot grow beyond what we are now, so doomed we all are. Masters of this world we are not. Your very presence here screams this to any who have ears to hear. The Age of Scale is long past.'
[Sat May 18 17:39:11 2019] You say, 'Why is the Age of Scale long past?'
[Sat May 18 17:39:11 2019] Klandicar says, 'It proves how weak and static our race has become. Here you stand, in the most sacred of places, fearing nothing, daring to converse with me. If I were to consume you now, a dozen would appear to replace you. As mighty as Dragonkind is, we can never hope to match the power you wield. Dragons have limits set upon themselves, while you and your kind refuse to accept any limits. We cannot compete with that. If only we could throw off these shackles we bind ourselves with.'
[Sat May 18 17:40:49 2019] You say, 'How can you throw off the shackles?'
[Sat May 18 17:40:49 2019] Klandicar says, 'I do not see this happening. Too proud, too sure of ourselves, as a race we could never concede that we have anything to learn from the likes of you. We need a revelation. Something to open our eye, a poke in the rump. The Iksar almost woke us up, they had us united and striving for something for a brief while, but the Iksar Empire was in many ways as doomed as we are, too inflexible. What does not bend will break. The same could be said of the Kromzek.'
[Sat May 18 17:42:04 2019] You say, 'Who are the Kromzek?'
[Sat May 18 17:42:04 2019] Klandicar says, 'The Kromzek are also clinging to the old ways, they have changed no more than we have over the generations. We kill some,they kill some, nothing really changes. Now the Coldain, they are a group to admire, the first trickles of that flood I spoke of.'
[Sat May 18 17:42:54 2019] You say, 'What about the Coldain?'
[Sat May 18 17:42:54 2019] Klandicar says, 'I admire the Coldain They are strong because they adapt. They fought the Kromzek to a standstill, then pushed them back. They have not really crossed Dragons yet, but I feel that if they had a feud with us, they would present quite a challenge. And lo! There is a whole WORLD of peoples such as yourself, hardy and flexible as the Coldain, and here you stand at our doorstep, knocking.'

I think this is where tsolaes got hung up in a previous post, but they didn't include the whole conversation. I suspect this is likely the end of Klandicar's dialogue. I also tried a lot of different phrases with no further response. I may keep trying later but I doubt there is more.
