• •Category: Wanderer NPC & Flea Caravan Member

Description

Kratt is a entrepreneurial flea who operates a unique spa-carriage service as part of the Flea Caravan. Known for his distinctive greeting "Dodeshna, dear one!" and his somewhat questionable ethics regarding customer privacy, Kratt provides essential health and silk regeneration services to weary travelers. His metal carriage contains steaming hot water that gradually restores both health and silk to full capacity.

Background

Kratt was initially found trapped and wrapped in silk inside a cave behind a breakable wall in Greymoor. After being rescued by Hornet, he expresses his intention to join the nearest caravan for safety, specifically the Flea Caravan led by Fleamaster Mooshka. His entrepreneurial spirit and possession of a specialized spa-carriage make him a valuable addition to the traveling merchant group.

In-game Events

Initial Rescue

Kratt is first discovered stuck and wrapped in silk in a cave behind a breakable wall in Greymoor, near the Halfway Home. The location can only be reached after learning the Cling Grip ability. Upon being freed, he expresses gratitude and mentions his intention to join the Flea Caravan, hinting at the special secret his metal carriage contains.

Joining the Flea Caravan

Regardless of whether the Flea Caravan is currently at The Marrow or Greymoor, Kratt will appear with them during their next location, standing proudly in front of his distinctive metal carriage.

Spa Service Operations

Kratt offers his spa service for 10 Rosaries initially. When Hornet accepts, the carriage door opens to reveal a chamber filled with steaming hot water. Standing in the water gradually regenerates both health and silk to maximum capacity.

The Peeping Incident

After a few seconds in the spa, Kratt can be observed peeping through a window at the top of the carriage. If Hornet catches him and confronts him about this behavior, a significant dialogue exchange occurs that affects future pricing.

Service Pricing Changes

• •If caught peeping: After confrontation, Kratt offers free spa services permanently, considering Hornet a "treasured guest"
• •If not caught: Continues to charge 10 Rosaries per use

Key Dialogue

Upon Rescue

""Ooh, heh heh heh! What a turn, for dear Kratt to be strung up in such a dank little cave!""

""Cursed threads stretch throughout this land, set to ensnare the unwary. You seem no worse for it now, at least.""

""That metal carriage... It is yours, I assume? Ooh, yes, yes! I'm setting out to join the nearest flea caravan, aren't I? Safety in numbers, yes? I've had more than enough of venturing alone.""

Spa Service Pitch

""Dodeshna, dear one, dodeshna! Heh heh! Have you returned to use Kratt's luxurious spa-carriage? I've kept it roastily warm for you...""

Accepting Service

""Please, my dear, step inside! I will stand guard here while you bathe... Right on this very spot!""

Refusing Service

""Oh... what a shame. Heh heh! I think you'd find the waters inside delectably soothing, if you'd only reconsider!""

After Being Caught Peeping

""Auugghhh... the pain! Such fury, over a mistake! Poor little Kratt did not mean to steal a look!""

""This old carriage needs constant care. I was only doing repairs! I had no intent to intrude! And I barely saw a thing!""

Hornet's Response: *"Lie no more to me, flea, and be grateful you still live. Know that if you peer again, you will die."*

""Of course! Kratt would never! Let's consider the matter forgotten, and you shall forever be my treasured guest!""

As Treasured Guest

""Welcome back, my fierce one. Dodeshna! Heh heh! I'm sure your travels have wearied you. Oh no, I wouldn't dare take rosaries from such a treasured guest! Please, use my spa-carriage, free of charge! Dear Kratt is only too happy to provide!""

Needolin Messages

""Sweet, brave Kratt... What waits at journey's end? The fleas' guiding light... The flea of fleas, oh yes! Hear our voices! Hear our plea! Join our company, moving free! We live and die and roam as one!""

While Alone (Before Joining Caravan)

""O fleas, o fleas! Are you lonely without Kratt? Are you hiding from Kratt? Where are you all...""
