Challenges of the PastEdit

You will find out from Brahgas that Sorinne spoke to Raenobi earlier, which bothered her. You will find Raenobi on the second floor in the gaming hall. Speaking to her:

"Why do they always pester Raenobi…?
This one already has a drink, walker. Tell your friends Raenobi is married. Or a celibate. Whichever you prefer."

I'm not here to flirt. Were you talking to a woman named Sorinne earlier?

"Sorinne? Yes, Sorinne is an old friend of Raenobi's! This one was just catching up with her, yes? We have not seen each other for a long, long time.
This one missed her dearly."

What brings you to Gonfalon Bay?

"Well, Raenobi heard her old friend made it to the second round of the Tribute tournament! A proud moment for this one, truly. Raenobi introduced Sorinne to the game, you see?
So, this one just came to wish her luck and give her a tiny sweet, yes?"

A tiny sweet?

"A gift, walker. Just a small reminder of where she came from and what she left behind. This one hopes she found a quiet corner where she could enjoy it. It always did help her game.
Now, if there isn't anything else? Good luck in the tournament."

After speaking to her, she will leave the hall with a hint of where Sorinne might be:

Raenobi: "Sorinne probably took her sweet to the docks. If you see her, tell her Raenobi has more to offer…if she is interested."

After checking up on Sorinne, you hurry to find Brahgas in the courtyard of the gaming hall. The Elden Root Chapter arrived with Raenobi as the leader of the competition.

Brahgas: "There you are! Z'en's price, I thought I was going to be the only one out here! Our opponents will be here any—"

Raenobi: "Greetings, walkers. Oh, Raenobi thought there would be more of you. Shame. Well, the games must go on, yes?"

Raenobi: "This one, Raenobi, adjutant game-baron of the Elden Root Chapter, hereby challenge the Gonfalon Bay players in this intermediate tournament!"

She will be smug about your reaction of her being the leader of the competition:

"Oh, sweetmeat, you look like the senche who swallowed the terror bird!
Are you surprised to see Raenobi? Surely, you would not blame this one for her good fortune. A dear friend and a tournament in the same place? It is so convenient!"

You're the intermediate leader?

"Raenobi has her claws in many sugar jars. Can a businesswoman not enjoy herself from time to time?
And business can be pleasure also, yes? Many Tribute players want what Raenobi sells. Skooma makes us sharper. Sleeker. You should try it someday."

So, you tried to sabotage our team by getting Sorinne hooked again?

"Sabotage? Do you think this game means so much to Raenobi? No, walker. This one misses her friend. Sorinne is wasted in this dungy place. She belongs with Raenobi. She only needs reminding, yes?
But ziss'vo! So serious. We have a game to play, yes?"

Yes we do. And we intend to win.

"Of course! Though, it will be difficult with only you and your little acorn-Elf, yes?
Lentondil will face you at Skywatch Market in Auridon. Then Malilen in the city of Marbuk in Greenshade. This one lounges in Elden Root. See you soon, sweetmeat!"

Sorinne will arrive to prove Raenobi that she's not backing down from this challenge despite goading her with skooma:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Always playing the same tricks, aren't you, Raenobi?"

Raenobi: "Oh, Sorinne. What a surprise! How did you enjoy this one's gift? Smooth and fragrant, yes?"

Sorinne Gaerard: "I wouldn't know. You'll have to ask the fish at the bottom of the harbor."

Brahgas: "That can't be good for them…."

Sorinne Gaerard: "I suggest you get ready for the tournament, Raenobi. We'll be seeing you soon."

She will voice her disappointment that Sorinne did not relapse to skooma:

"So, Sorinne really has shaved her tail! My fun-loving sugarsnap, ruined!
Looks like Raenobi will have to remind her who she is the hard way."

She seems pretty sure of herself.

"You would think that, wouldn't you? That is because you do not know her like Raenobi does. Sorinne has walked this path before—all pride and preening. But given enough time, she always come back to Raenobi. Always."

You really think beating her in Tribute will change her mind about you?

"Bah. This one doubts Sorinne will even make it to the final match.
Lentondil is the pride of Auridon—as sleek a player as this one has ever seen. And Malilen shows fierce focus. Every player in Marbruk quivers at her approach!"

And if she does manage to make it to you in Elden Root?

"Then, Raenobi will use every trick she knows. Every devious feints—every mind game and threat. This one will catch Sorinne's ear and whisper every vile secret that she buried here in Gonfalon Bay until she remembers the truth."

What truth is that?

"The truth is that she is no different from Raenobi. No better than Raenobi. She hates this, but better to be honest scum than a lying snob, yes?
You barely know Sorinne. So, trust Raenobi. All of this moralizing? It is an act. And it ends soon."

After defeating Lentondil and Malilen, you will head to Elden Root where she waits for your arrival:

Raenobi: "Ha! Look at what the senches dragged in! This one is sorry you had to make such a long trip just to lose."

Speaking to her to begin the match:

"So, Sorinne's new boring friend come to face Raenobi, yes? This is good. Once this one scratches your dungy strategies to pieces, Sorinne will learn what a fool she has been.
She will come crawling back to Raenobi soon enough."

You've got to beat me first.

"Feh! Raenobi learned from the best. While you supped from boozy Razhamad's baby bottle, this one sat at the paws of true masters. You have no chance, walker. None.
But, you are right. Why speak when you can show, yes? Shuffle your deck walker!"

Let's play.

Once you defeat Raenobi, Raenobi will act like this defeat is nothing and that your friends cannot beat her:

Raenobi: "Kra! You are better than this one thought. But one victory means little, yes? Neither of your friends will best Raenobi."

Sorinne Gaerard: "Still so overconfident. That's why you're going to lose. Again."

Raenobi: "Ziss on you, Sorinne! You will not be so lucky as your so-called friend."

Speaking to her again before Sorinne. She will admit you have skill and at the same time views Sorinne as weak:

"Raenobi must admit you have skill. But skill counts for little without cunning.
Sorinne is soft…weak. She yields when she should attack. That is why I beat her every time. And that is why I will beat her again today."
