Dialogue

 * Boone: I'm not one for sailing but I know it's out there. Some call it a kraken, others just a sea monster. They say it's fifty feet long if it's an inch and it rolls ships for sport. You won't find me out on the high seas searching for the beast, that's a guarantee I can give you, but it's a riddle that needs solving.

Connor began eavesdropping on conversations around town.
 * Civilian 1: You seen the serpent?
 * Civilian 2: You bet your arse I've seen the serpent. Thing was horrifying.
 * Civilian 1: Where was it?
 * Civilian 2: ''Just out past the breakwater. Came up to the surface to have a look then plunged right back down again. The parts I saw was thirty feet, who knows how much remained under water?


 * Civilian 3: Jack says there's an old man that's always around when the beast appears.
 * Civilian 4: Jack's say a lot of things.
 * Civilian 3: But this be one I believe. They say he commands the thing.
 * Civilian 4: Pfff. Some old man ordering a kraken about. What a bunch o' fluff.
 * Civilian 3: Dunno, mate. A lot o' men I trust spin the same yarn.


 * Civilian 5: You hear the serpent weaver died?
 * Civilian 6: The ol' thief's buried not far from here. Man was a blight. Good riddance.

Connor approached the man's widow at his grave. Connor investigated the trader's workshop, and found his "Sea Monster" contraption.
 * Civilian 7: That old fellow people said called the kraken bought the farm not long ago. Nobody's seen the beast since.
 * Civilian 8: So it was true then!
 * Civilian 7: Didn't say that. Maybe you could ask his widow, she won't leave his grave.
 * Widow: You come to pay your respects? You're the first. He didn't have many friends. People just didn't understand. He was a good trader. He was a good husband. I never wanted for anything.
