a long pause between the PC entering the area

Then in the NPC you wish to "start" the conversation (this NPC will also basically control the conversation) make a copy of the default OnSpawn script, un-comment the following line:

SetSpawnInCondition (NW_FLAG_HEARTBEAT_EVENT);

Save the OnSpawn script you just created and assign it to the "start" NPC's OnSpawn event.

Finally, add the following script (changing the text to suit your needs, this is again part of my cliche cult) to the NPC's OnUserDefined event.

NWScript:

/*
    This specific OnUserEvent script plays out a
